[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1491989474' post='3276936'] Shall we just go ahead & change the forum name to BassBitch.com? So much of this random moaning going around at the moment! So you don't like something other people do that has zero impact on your life, big deal - don't do it to your bass. [/quote] Trying to understand a point of view and expressing one isn't bitching.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1491986078' post='3276900'] Isn't this just a less extreme version of the 'relicing' (sic) process? Pretending to yourself that your bass is something other than what it is. [/quote] I'm not too sure. It's a good question for sure. But at the end of the day you still have to do the wearing down (albeit much faster). Where as a logo can just be applied to anything but it doesn't make it what the logo says.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1491985881' post='3276894'] IMO, if you can feel good about a deception then that really isn't much of a good thing at all. If a bass is good enough for me to buy and play I'd be proudly displaying it's real identity. [/quote] Absolutely spot on. For me the Air Fix analogy above doesn't work. It's a model vs a working real machine. We're talking about two things that perform the same task. It's like when people buy fake Louis Vuitton handbags or fake Stone Island jackets. It's wrong. It's not attention to detail, it's robbing someone else's credit.

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1491982661' post='3276863'] Not a thing I'd do myself but I imagine a decal saves answering the " Why haven't you got a Fender ?" question. Some folks do listen with their eyes and who wants to spend time defending their choice in gear. [/quote] I bet the same people who would swap out a Squier badge for a Fender wouldn't dare do it to a MIJ Squier that's worth something. They'd happily defend it. If someone stopped watching my band because one of us was using a Fender shaped non Fender then that's cool. They're entitled to be morons.

Can anyone enlighten me? I see it often, Squiers, bitsa, Nash, Lime Light and some that have a headstock shape that's not even close. I Squier rebadge for example. I think so what if it's a Squier, big deal. If it plays and sounds nice then that's all that matters and then credit where credit is due if it's a good bass. I just don't understand it.

Anyone know where I could find a body template for a single cut Tele 34" body. From what I understand the guitar version is too short.

Also £330.

Their take on the JHS Colour box?

Top dude. Part ex'd my DG VU for his DG VD.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1489491914' post='3257341'] Very much my dilemma too. One thing to consider is the connection between the rack unit and the pedal. Have Line6 gone for something a bit more robust that the standard Cat5e cable with RJ45 connectors that they used previously? IME these are simply not robust enough to be used in a gigging situation. At one rehearsal and a couple of gigs a week I was getting through a cable every 2-3 months, whereas all my (OBBM) signal cables are still going strong after 6 years of constant use and abuse. In the end I had a couple of special coilable Van Damme Cat5e cables made up with extra robust shrouding on the plugs to protect the locking mechanism (one that breaks the cables are virtually useless), and even so they are getting close to needing to be replaced after 2 years of intensive gigging. [/quote] That's what I like about the Axe FX. It has that Links feature. So you just run a standard XLR cable to the board. No messing.

I've considered getting the rack version. The pros to me are: If the footcontroller breaks it's cheaper to replace. No long signal cable (wireless) just the cable to the controller. Cons: Can't fly it. Doesn't have an expression pedal built in. Initial cost is higher. It's a tough one.

That is just wild. Haha

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1489442125' post='3257059'] Won't that mainly be: (a) A Helix on the floor; or ( A Helix in a rack? [/quote] Well it could be. But I want to see what people add into the loops. Maybe a pedal you just can't be without.

Has anyone seen the RJM midi controllers? Oh man they are sweet.

Let's see what you use with it and whether you've gone rack or floor version.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1489410191' post='3256634'] If you get one, make sure you do the firmware update as soon as you get it. If it's been in a shop for a little while it may well be out of date, and the updates are certainly worth having before you get stuck in saving patches. Join the facebook Helix Users Group too - loads of advice on there. [/quote] Good advice! Cheers

Think I'm going Helix. Probably end up using a Soure Audio Aftershock for dirt at some point. I did email SA with the idea of an aftershock deluxe. Two channels per preset in a Nemesis sized box with midi.

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' timestamp='1489069555' post='3254144'] IMHO They are all too expensive!! B [/quote] Why?
