Yamaha RBX5 A2.

I love lightweight basses, and I thought the light up knobs would look the part in my live electronica band… but it just sounded really lacking in both lows and mids and I could never get it to sit right in the mix, not matter I did with amp EQ. Add to that a few rough fret edges and the plastic-like coating get a bit sticky when the sweat and beer started flowing… overall, it wasn’t good.

Bonus mention to the Warwick Rockbass Vampyre. I didn’t buy it, but I did win it in a competition… played it twice and had to sell it. It felt bloody horrid to hold, and even worse when you tried to sit down with it.

Funny you should say that, I just did this:

The V4 has way more headroom, it’s a lot easier to dial in something more crisp where the V2 is far thicker. I’d say the v4 is more versatile but moth have their own mojo. The Dagger is still my favourite though I think. 

Super useful - thanks!!

There’s definitely more but they’ve slipped my mind!

How much of a difference/upgrade is the V4 over the V2 Longsword? 

Oh god, why am I looking at this thread again? It's already nearly bankrupted me!

Hi,

 

does the HORROTHIA have enough headroom?
 

Thank you!

The Horrothia Type One X is 18v, oodles of headroom. It has the same front still, but the version now being sold is called the One X and went from 12 to 18v... I assume due to some headroom requests. It's easily my fav chorus I've ever used.

Edit: I should add that I've tried this pedal on 9v and 12v as well, and honestly don't have any headroom issues doing so. I'm interested in what made you ask the question? Have you read other comments somewhere about there being headroom issues?

A few small tweaks for tonight’s rehearsals. Pretty sure I’m going to be going back to the PedalTrain Jr Max to fit a few extra bits on, but for now, this is rocking!

Mine arrived and got a good run this afternoon. Very good! Super impressed.

Yet another flawless transaction. Part-ex on a pedal. Payment and posting the pedal my way was prompt, comms great. Can’t ask for more!

Forgive me saying, but as soon as I saw the pictures, I knew it was my old bass.  I get to look at 100s of right handed basses, knowing they're not for me (and they never say they are right handed😁)

Entirely valid. I guess I'm just used to left handed listings making a very clear point of it. You know, because we're only bassists and can't be expected to tell right from left without some help

That aside, the Shedua on that is a really quite special!

Does anyone get a bit sad when their own Wal turns up second hand.  I commissioned this one from Pete the Fish:

I'm sort of happy because I have since acquired a slightly older one, in better nick (and at a lower cost)...but the Shedua on my old one is just gorgeous!

I know the pictures tell you all you need to know, but don't you find it odd that the listing here never once mentions that this is a left hand bass?

I liked the name so much I had to build myself one! Still brings me joy.

I miss that pedal. It has a really unique tone and sounds brutal!

I don't think I've ever seen one of these before... but I really like it! Very cool. How does it sound?

My “unobtanium board 😎

pretty simple but straight to the point and can do oretty much sny gig with it. Love it to bits

The Immerse is seriously good! I have the older version and it rocked. I not have Wet V4. Neunaber really do make the best reverb for bass! This trumps my Source Audio Collider and even the Iron Ether Nimbus on bass IMO.

Super cool little board.

Also depends if need the +4-4 range tbh…..

Honestly, I don't think I'd ever need more than +/- 2 octaves - I never have before. It's the presets, especially being able to switch between different presents with ease during a track that's really appealing.

Thanks, that's super useful!

Oh yeh it can do -4 octave dive-bombs…… but obviously that takes up the whammy and I use the dive bomb a fair bit on a few sounds for fun so for ease kept the ps-6 aswell 

Cheers! I'm torn at the moment between getting the 100 and the 1. In the past, whenever I've used pitch effects, I've always had them on a dedicated expression pedal, so the 100 feel like the natural choice for me, and the presets in it are an added bonus that I am likely to make use of. On the other hand, I have more expression pedal splitters than I can shake a stick at and it's not big issue to have the expression on my board also be used for pitch when I need it, so the XS-1 is temping for space saving and less money. Decisions, decisions.

I will be travelling light.  Probably just the Ray34, my YamaCore bitsa, a ZoomB3 and a small combo.  Let's keep it in mind and decide fully nearer the time.

 

Cheers!

Sounds good!

@thisisswanbon great list! Question, you listed a Joyo Patch Kommander. Do you mean a Hotone, or is it the Joyo PXL? Either way, how did you find it. I'm considering the switching route again, and am looking at some cheaper options before I go for a Quartermaster from GigRig again.

Thanks!

Harmonist is there so I can do dive bombs whenever I feel like it basically, the 100is really cool 

 

have it set up as whammy +1 Most of the time! 
 

but also of a fuzz preset ( blast radius) I have it doing a octave up under the standard sound as you can set the balance/blend

 

and works great as an octave down 

Does it do the dive bombs as well as the Harmonist? I'd hope so, but worth asking given you're still using both rather than hopping between patches to do octave up and dive bomb! Thanks.

Depending on the amount of gear involved, are you interested in a ride share?  My car or yours, mine's a five door Corolla.  PM me if so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds good. I have a Dacia Duster, and with the seats down it may as well be a Land Rover!

I expect it'll be bass, amp, small cab, and whichever pedalboard I have assembled at the time, so not a great deal of gear.

Oh how I miss my Roscoes, especially the 32" Buckeye LG. Here are pics of a few of my old crop. There were two others also missing from list. I now have serious Roscoe GAS again.

Very old and slightly fuzzy photos of a GB Spitfire I owned circa 2009 for about 6 months. Incredible bass and one of very few Jazz style basses I've ever owned. This was Daphne blue with an off-white scratch plate, along with all the funky GB electronics, like a built in tuner and metronome.

latest edition 

How are you getting on with the XS-100? I see the Harmonist is still there as well...

Driving a whole hour for a bass bash!? How dedicated to you think I am... oh okay, I'm IN!  

Purchased another pedal off my favourite pedal dealer. Addictive stuff this man is selling

Flawless transaction as always!

Thanks!
