[quote name='Che' timestamp='1444303413' post='2882020'] Might be. I did try to find info on the net and most say that if there is hissing when you touch the metal parts its grounding issue and if there is hissing when you have no contact with the metal parts is a shielding issue. But I have no idea about this so all input is welcome! [/quote] If its buzzing when you *aren't* touching anything then you are correct that it is almost certainly a shielding issue. You'll probably also be able to hear that the buzzing sound changes or goes away if you move around the room or rotate on the spot.

That is seriously awesome.

Thomann sell a few different branded ones that are just rip-offs of the pedaltrain design from what I can see. Digging around in their pedal board section should bring them up.

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1444125816' post='2880435'] ...And additionally, apparently bass amp speakers have a frequency response of between 2.5khz and 7khz so actually there's little point in a high sample rate anyway! Argh! [/quote] The sampling rate frequency (44kHz / 96kHz) and the frequency response of the speakers are not to be confused. They have the same units but mean completely different things. You need a high sampling rate to make sure your analogue to digital conversion doesn't lose any audible information (google the Nyquist sampling theorem to find out why). The frequency response of your speakers just tells you the range of frequencies your bass amp operates over.

The new Line6 Helix looks awesome but it is not cheap.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1444033244' post='2879516'] For me a feeler is sale if you get the right price...if not, you'll keep it. [/quote] That's how all sales work.

Time wasters are a pain in the arse but they won't be put off by "no time wasters" because they're muppets. That's part of the problem.

[quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1443186734' post='2872939'] Are any deko owners having buyer remorse? My acoustic fretless 4 is nice and the only work that needs doing is the high action / nut slot deepening..... Fighting with myself whether I can justify keeping it (too many basses, and others are objectively better instruments)!!! Anyone else have this "problem"? [/quote] I bought one of the Mosrite Baritones. I really like it...but it has two niggles that need me to do actual proper tech work to it and I'm really frustrated with it. I'm tempted to rage-quit it, sell it, and buy a more expensive baritone.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1443006732' post='2871327'] This is why I went down the Maruszczyk route. Fender CS / US Lakland quality, and bespoke, for MIM money. [/quote] Please stop posting pictures of that. My bank manager doesn't like it.

Can you really not get that colour combo on a standard Fender? Wow. Personally if I were going bespoke I'd get a more unusual finish but it's your bass get what you like :-) Enjoy!

Don't play Dakota. Please. If only because you don't want the answer to "what was your first gigging experience" to involve the words "Dakota" or "Stereophonics". Nothing wrong with taking a cheat sheet on stage. I've done it at gigs for songs I was unsure of, you don't need a music stand. Just a piece of A4 paper and a permanent marker, write the chords out nice and big on the page and place it at your feet. If you're only doing one or two songs you'll only need a single sheet and no one in the audience will know its there.

I think these look fantastic and are definitely the kind of thing I could see myself owning in the future. £1000+ is too much for my blood but hopefully it will be a success and the technology will drop in price. The workflow and routing options alone are worth a fair chunk of cash.

My PB50 came today. I've only had about ten minutes with it but I can't find anything at all "wrong" with it. The neck seems straight, the relief is ok, a little bit of fret buzz but I'm heavy handed and that's a common occurance for me and new basses. Lovely bit of wood, the electronics work and it sounds decent. The only things that let it down are a really cheap looking pickguard, the pots are a bit uneven in terms of travel and the tuners are really stiff (but seem to hold tune OK). Hardly a problem on a cheap bass. I'd want to do a more thorough inspection but I reckon I could gig this as is. This also came with a cable, Allen keys, daddario strings, and a Wilkinson pickup... ... and after using my thomann review voucher cost me £8.80 delivered. Blinkin' 'eck.

I've got a Warwick Blue Cab 20 which might fit the bill, if you can find one. Its got a ported 10" cabinet, built-in tilt-back stand, 3 band EQ, passive/active inputs, FX loop, 20W of very nice sound, line out, headphone out, and weighs about 15kg. I bought mine as a practice amp but I reckon it would be ace for use in a small ensemble of woodwinds.

Looks fantastic :-) ... Aren't you the guy who claimed not to like precisions? ;-) I'm waiting on my £8.80 (delivered) Harley Benton arriving. Would be interesting to compare them ;-)

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1442489014' post='2867284'] Got my shipped email at 9pm on Tuesday, wonder if it's travelling with uncle psychosis's bass? [/quote] My shipped email was first thing yesterday. Guessing it'll be delivered on Monday.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1442396761' post='2866577'] Oh yeah, any mention of that kind of stuff is instant invalidation from me. Somewhere between Germany and the UK... [/quote]

Mine has just been confirmed too. 12 euros delivered. I probably spent more than that on coffee last week!

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1442310709' post='2865879'] was getting prices for an American interested in PB-50 just now. They've just been listed. I got a voucher this morning and no self control. Keenly awaiting confirmation email [/quote] This morning I had a 30 euro voucher. Now I no longer have that voucher.

[quote name='torby' timestamp='1442268096' post='2865708'] I'm trying to get tickets to take my son to the gig in the 3arena in Dublin...[/quote] Modern parenting, eh? My Dad just used to ground me when I was naughty. The threat of being taken to a Muse gig would have kept me compliant for all of my entire teenage years Seriously though, good luck getting tickets. This whole fanclub presale nonsense annoys me but I can see why they do it.

Love the look of these. Matt how does the neck compare to something like an M-2000? ;-) I have absolutely no need for another bass, mind you...

Superlux or the Sennheiser HD202. I recently bought some Superlux HD-681 Evo and they're excellent. I've also owned a pair of HD202 for at least a decade and they're still going strong. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1441711689' post='2861035'] It does kind of beg the question as to why the USB port was included if you can't edit patches on the computer or use it for recording onto a PC. [/quote] If you could do those things with the little one I think they'd seriously hit sales of the B3.

Looks great. Really nice. I'd love one in sonic blue or shell pink.
