The HD's not Bluetooth, still relies on the good old USB cable into a computer, and then an app there for editing. However, the screen on the HD is bigger, and you can edit patches there, though some things are easier to do on the computer. Alternatively, get a HX Stomp, all the latest amp/cab & effects models, updated regularly. Still not Bluetooth though. You could use either a Windows tablet or iPad to edit the patches, but they'll still need the wired connection.

Better off with a HD500x, with the HD Bass pack. Fabulous bit of kit, and very underrated. Been running one for years. Expect to pay between £200 & £250 for a good one.

Which of your current basses do you play the most, the 4 string, or the 5 string? If the 4 strings get played the most, then get a 4 string. If the 5 strings get played the most, then get a 5 string.

If you aren't using it, and you've never really "gelled" with it, then time to sell it on.

If only more people on Facebook would adhere to that philosophy... 😑 😀

Warwick Star Bass Chowny CHB1 or CHB2

Isn't Happy Jack still trying to sell his Dean 8 string?

Not forgetting all the ambiguities that surrounded the CITES regulations, and obviously carrier's reluctance to transport items which could potentially be against the reg's, not to mention any fines that they'd incur and insurance claims they'd face. I believe that these are now lifted for musical instruments, but I suspect that there's still a fair deal of ambiguity from the couriers.

If you just want the Effects and not the Amp/Cab modelling, the the HX FX is the one you want. If you want the Amp/Cab modelling as well, then the HX Stomp/Helix/Helix LT would fit the bill. Pretty sure that Line6 are updating the HX FX alongside the other Helix models.

Not as decorative as some of the others on here, but it's mine.

That's aged nicely.

I torte that's what you said... Unless you're talking about Tort's.

The Live DVD isn't.

But surely, that IS the point! 😁

Pearl 'plate definitely.

I remember sitting in a long departed music shop a number of years ago with the mission of buying myself the best sounding bass I could find in the shop. A good number of hours later, having played all but the insanely expensive basses in there (£1,500+ circa 2004-ish), I walked out with a very affordable, Fender Mex Jazz, that was fitted with US made pickups. It sounded superb, and certainly trounced the US made basses in the shop to my ears.

Highly surprised no one has mentioned this yet but... Hawkwind: Space Ritual Rush: All The World's A Stage, Exit Stage Left, R40, Clockwork Angels, etc., etc. Thin Lizzy: Live and Dangerous

Shouldn't that be "Plectra Deflectra"? Tort? Choccy Tort...

The "W" on the back would suggest Wilkinson's. Pattern Gotoh's. https://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/1-x-wjb650-bass-tuner-for-right-handed-bass/

Yup, I use the Etymotic ER20S for rehearsals. Sennheiser UK have a sale on: £35: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/headphones-stereo-hd-206 £45: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/headphones-headset-stereo-over-ear-hd-300

I do fancy acquiring an 8 string at some point...

Agree with Maude & Mykesbass, however, a new bass can't hurt can it? 😉😀👍

It is dangerous, thinking that you're happy with your gear, getting comfortable with everything, everything works, no issues. All good you think, save a few quid you think... Bam. GAS strikes.

Not for anytime soon... The singer quit.

Saw that, and again, definitely one to consider. Humbuckers again though.
