I finally installed my Tbird pickup, made a scratchplate and a refret as well. 

I have a Bare knuckle and it’s great!

Damn. I got one yesterday for more than that. 
 

it’s class. So GLWTS. 
 

cheers @Merton

I’m going to put a chrome pickup in my Black Pbass. 
 

anyone done this and if you have post your pics. What do you like and dislike about the tone?

I saw that the Pbass isn’t strung through

I have an MXR Deluxe Octaver but it seems to be really sensitive to my input signal. I put a comp in front of it but I’m wondering what you think is better.

That’s the one i’m referring to actually. It sounds ‘OK’. Sounds awful if you take out the clean signal, whereas the Octamizer sounds great!

I think I’ll end up using the HX one for my 50/50 octaver and my MXR (for now) for the no dry signal octave. Maybe get a 3 Leaf

I’ve gone from analogue to digital. Haven’t had much time to play around with the HX yet. Probably will buy a Cioks to power it and maybe a pedal or two. Depends if I can nail a sub octave sound with the HX. 

Has anyone come close to the sustained synth sound at the start with their bass and what pedals?

Yes.

Awesome. Where’s good to get these?

I now have an HX FX. Am I right in thinking I can download IR effects?

They’re called snapshots? 

Basically I want to know if it needs to be connected to a laptop to change the order or can I do it with my phone or on the actual pedal. So I can adjust each bank order for every song for every set. 

£10 each posted. Brand new and never used. 4 left

I used this for silent practice in my house. No longer needed. In great condition. 

UK postage included.

Used but not abused. Holds 6 guitars. Folds up nicely.

I really don’t want to sell this but I must. 

Anyway. This thing is an absolute beast. Tones to die for. Two channels, one is cleaner and has a vintage tone stack and the other goes from clean to absolute filth with a more modern eq. 

Footswitch included (I made a pedalboard friendly one). 

Comes with soft case and a wheeled road case. Also comes with a spare set of 6550 power amp valves.

You could look at the Harley Benton Short scale P bass at about £80. Probably good for upgrading at a later date as well.

Good shout. Get a black one, make a black scratch plate and put some cream pickup cover on and it’ll look like my Pbass haha

Thanks for all your replies!

really helpful

For a 6 year old? Maybe a bass ukulele.

Good point

We got an Ibanez Mikro for our daughter when she was (a small) 9 year old. 10 now and still moans about the stretching at the money end, but she's working towards Rockschool Grade 4 on it and is planning to audition for School of Rock in the West End soon.

Nice bit of kit for the money.

That’s awesome!

fathers/mothers what bass did you buy for your child?

I’m thinking a Squier Jaguar SS. I think the 30” scale is a good choice because you can still use it when you’re fully grown. 

I’d quite like to see them release a small DI box with the cab IR and an XLR and jack input so I could run out from the DI of my M900 or on a pedalboard. 

Think I’ll grab an AO or wait for the amp version of the X pedal?

Offers welcome. Sadly no trades
