Pete bought my Headrush speaker. No issues at all and was a gent throughout the transaction. Top bass chatter!

I suppose that’s the beauty of the used marketplace… with some luck you can buy and sell without losing too much (if any) money! Unlike buying new…

Perfectly aware and perfectly happy!

I would have liked the stomp, but it’s one of those things where none were for sale, this pod go popped up and then Sod’s Law, a stomp pops up for sale…

So… finally got my rig of choice! plumped for a boss GT1B but honestly, I found that the synth bass sounds didn’t track very well at all. So that has now moved on to greener pastures and I picked up an as new line 6 pod go from the bay… I haven’t tried it yet and I was looking for a hx stomp but this, I’m sure will meet my needs. also… bought a QSC 10.2 which turned out to have a fault (this was a shame as it sounded amazing - kudos to @lemmywinks for a quick and easy solution. Saw a Headrush for sale locally, picked that up thinking - that will do… then 2 days later saw a QSC 12.2 for sale locally to me which I am now organising collection. so… that’s me sorted. Line 6 pod go into a QSC 12.2. Should be banging! first outing won’t be for a while but I shall feedback on here with the outcome for anyone else considering it…

No real budget in mind apart from under £500!

I’m not really an FX guy, never have been and most of the gigs I do require pretty standard sounds. However, I’m going FRFR and would like a good quality unit as a front end to this. my needs would be: - some good amp sims - a nice chorus (I use fretless on some stuff) - a decent synth bass sound for 80s stuff - parallel processing if possible to run a standard bass sound under the synth bass sound… - tuner (obvs) - pc interface to build stuff whatever else it comes with is a bonus. I have been looking at the obvious - hx stomp, boss gt1000 core, zoom b2 four… but still none the wiser of what to buy! the hx stomp was my initial plan… can anyone offer some solid advice?? The synth thing is quite important to me… and I hear mixed results with the stomp and gt core… I know cheaper end multi fx don’t have parallel processing… I know the zoom b2 four is quite new - anyone got any info?? thanks guys…

Just bought a Boss GT1B from Bill - excellent packaging and exactly as described with a couple of extras thrown in that I wasn't expecting! Well recommended to all is Bill!

I have an Audient ID14 - 2 ins but has the optical for ADAT connection. Great units and defo a thumbs up from me.

I have a Magni 500 which I’m selling in the classifieds… it’s pretty much the same apart from neo speakers in the 502 and a bit lighter… they are great combos… I’m just finding I need a wedge setup more now, that’s the only reason I am selling. typical EBS sound, modern sounding and can do bright and zingy or dubby and mellow. cannot recommend them enough. pricey though… over a grand at bass direct. Ouch! 😁😁

How do you find the Headrush? I have been looking at them but i find very much mixed reviews...

I am quite tempted by a https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pro_dsx_112.htm - or possibly the 15" variant... for £266, you couldn't really complain! It isn't going to be an RCF or a QSC but the price is... well, a LOT cheaper. I did wonder about buying 2 - use one for small gigs - i do a fair bit of double bass jazz gigs and just need a tiny bit of reinforcement, and then for function gigs you could link 2 together to share the load... Something to consider...

The 12.2 would be my ideal choice, but at nearly a grand new, I can't believe how much they have gone up in price over the past couple of years. I had a 10.2 just before lockdown and paid around £600... now £200 dearer. Oh well... will see what I can get!

The DXR12 had piqued my attention I must admit, a guitarist I know uses one with a kemper and it sounds immense!

Cool…. Let me know if you decide to!

I was looking at one of these rather than it’s big 735 brother… I only intend to use it mainly as a bass monitor… so it would do a good job here??

Does that mean you might be selling 'very' soon??

A did have a scroll through but it is a digression of opinions and lots of back and forth of why? pros / cons etc. I was hoping to try and save myself some time going through 10+ pages of comments... it's no biggie if people don't reply though. I can always have another go through...

Hi to all those using an FRFR setup... I need to go that way with the way my gigs are going. I'm constantly standing next to my amp and using IEMs so it makes monitoring very difficult. I need something floor based. Some years ago I had a QSC K10.2 and regret selling it to go back to an amp - the band leader at the time 'insisted' I had a bass amp as backline pushing sound forward (no PA support...) Anyway... I would really like specific speaker recommendations... I noticed that the QSCs have gone up massively in price - i think i paid about £600 some years ago! Anyway - I don't have a specific budget in my head, but something around the 5-600 mark - maybe some more if the recommendations are there... what are you using and how do you find it? Is the Headrush stuff worth looking at? I don't want this thread to be a ton of 'I don't get this FRFR nonsense' comments - real world experience with different speakers would be appreciated! Thanks everyone!
