    And sold.

    Replied.

    Thanks, but I'm not after a trade on it (unless you have a PODx3 kicking about doing nothing).

    I'd like to get my hands on an X3, but they're still a bit too expensive for my pocket second hand.

    bump

    Put some new batteries in it as well when you change the strings, it should make a heck of a difference.
  7. Skybone
    Because it's ace.

    Zoom B3, needs no introduction here. It's just over a year old, and only ever been used at home or at infrequent rehearsals, still with the original box, manuals, USB cable & CD-Rom. The Patch Editor is downloadable from the Zoom website, as are the full specs. £85.00 Zoom FP02M, expression pedal for the B3 (and other Zoom products). I bought this at the same time as the B3, but this has barely been used, other than being lugged about in the same bag as the B3. Comes in the original box with the cable. £20.00 Zoom SCG-5, carry bag originally designed for the Zoom G5, however, I've been using it to carry & store the B3, FP02, PSU & all my guitar leads. Plenty of space left over for a power extension lead & USB cable (front zipped pocket). Made of sturdy nylon. £15.00 Zoom AD-16F, 9v, 0.5a PSU, suitable for the B3, MS60B & most other 9v Zoom pedals. £5.00 SOLD

    I suppose everything boils down to the criteria you set yourself when you go out looking for a new bass/guitar/whatever. Not only does it have to meet it's performance requirements (plays well, sounds good etc.), but it also has to meet your aesthetic requirements (as well as budgetary requirements).

    Hang on, a Thunder 1A that doesn't have punch or clarity????? Have you put fresh batteries in it recently? Maybe get the pre-amp looked at? I always remember my old Thunder 1A to have been one of the best sounding active basses that I've had, and that list includes a couple of StingRays.

    Minor update, had a rehearsal last night, very happy with the sounds I'm getting from the XT, went through the PA instead of using the rehearsal room's old Peavey, sounded really good IMO, though it was a bit of a pain when the guitarists kept turning themselves up... Turn up the PA or the XT? Loving the SVT model, the Sunn Colliseum model sounds excellent too.
  12. Skybone
    Aye, a B3x and/or a B5 would go down a treat.

    There are quite a few fans of the Zoom B3's, I've just gone from a B3 to a Line6 PODxt Live with the Bass Expansion pack.

    Fluctuations in the power supply. Had similar issues when my old band used a different room in the rehearsal studio we used at the time, went through everything I could think of, but the noise was still there. The other rooms never had any issues, just this 1 room.

    I think that the only "current" bass Multi FX units are made by Zoom.

    Not very apparently, which makes the last 40-odd years a complete and utter waste of my time. Bum.
  17. Skybone
    Nice.
  18. Skybone
    Play the gig.
  19. Skybone
    All of the above, though the Velcro tip is a good one, it'll allow you to chop & change, without needing more tape/ties/etc.

    You should head over to some of the MIJ guitar forums, there are some "interesting" discussions (over and above 'how old is my guitar / how much is it worth'). Not forgetting the "if it aint a (insert guitar brand name here), it aint worth nothing" discussions.

    You may as well have ordered the strings from Thomann, and they would have turned up sooner.

    Getting a band up & running is only part of the battle, you have to keep the momentum going, actively promote yourselves wherever and whenever you can, write songs, rehearse, all while trying to keep your daily life going as well. It's a job in itself, but a job worth doing. Good luck with the band and good luck with the upcoming engagement party & wedding.

    The XT is a pre-amp, so I can't see why it wouldn't run in front of a power amp, all the "tone" shaping is done by the xt, and it's just boosted up to amp like levels by the power amp. My plan is to run it into the PA (basically a power amp). I installed Gearbox, but much prefer Line6 Edit to work on tweaking settings.

    Another thing to bear in mind, is how much you want to spend on a specific pedal. Cheap, mass produced pedals sound good, but "boutique" pedals do sound a lot better, but cost a lot more. Is it worthwhile looking at getting a Fuzz AND a Distortion? That way you can have different flavours of grit for different songs?
