  1. If it’s any help the sound engineer at last nights gig approached me at the end of the second set and told me I had the best bass sound she’s heard in that venue. I was playing a Flea jazz! I’m sure there were other factors but like I said above the ‘64 CS pick ups are a big part of the oomph. She simply described the bass as “just sounding right!” And she had basically nothing to do to the sound she was getting from my board. 🤷
  2. I always hear this as the perfect pedal for a band doing stuff like ‘The Cure’ Playing a Bass VI or 80’s goth band vibes galore.
  3. The flea jazz is a great example of the jazz bass. Neck is slim and it’s real strong point ore the pick ups. Custom shop ‘64’s - you could probably retro fit some high end boutique pick ups into another nitro jazz but I’d say grab a flea or a road worn and make mods if needed from there
  4. A pick will always add something to the top end and cut through more but fingers will add something in the middle. I love a p bass but I’m on a jazz tip just now. I mainly play finger style and the jazz might be less full on but each has their personality. I enjoy the difference from an p and if I played with a pick and some dirt always on I’d sway jazz.
  5. On the list to try out but no budget for pedals these next few months. Trying to off load stuff too.
  6. @Osiris I’ve told you before how good these can sound on bass and Ander is a decent chap. You guys should talk. I’m a big fan of a Tx in a pedal and have to my shame 4 units on my board just now with tx’s in - 2 of hem are just transformers in a pedal 🫢😀
  7. I’d love have my old DJ4 back. Sold it many years ago for a BG4. Had a tort and black scratch plate and sounded great with flats. Good luck - someone is getting a cracker!
  8. What about some daisy chain type leads for the existing power brick? Some low draw pedals could successfully powered this way and it would free up outputs to y-cable the Cali76? I do this with my DC5 powering 7 or 8 pedals from 5 ‘outlets’.
  9. I’ve been using a Basswitch for about 10 yrs. if you only run a couple of fx it’s super useful. There’s a point where it can be a bit a bit redundant if you’ve got too much going on but managing a couple of fx into both loops is where it really shines. I’ve been enjoying an always on compressor and very light drive in the serial loop (always on) and using the switchable loop (which doubles as a boost) to push some other things a little harder. The eq is super clean and really useful too.
  10. No phantom power and the a/b will either give a single instrument the option of EQ bypassed or eq engaged - having two instruments plugged in one will not have access to the eq the other will (example having an active bass into the eq bypassed channel and the passive bass into the EQ channel). That’s likely obvious 😀 all other features are ‘actively on’ so if you have a compressor in the always on loop it remains in the path irrespective of channel A or B. You can’t have two separate signals ‘programmed’ to different outputs.
  11. I nabbed the 110 version about 10 yrs ago… never let me down, sounds great and as said basically an SWR in the same way the new rumble series are basically Genz Benz amp. I’d imagine many gigs could be well serviced with this as a stage monitor.
  12. Pedals added SGFX Beta £95 *sold* Old school in a box pedal. Kinda addictive and you won’t want to turn it off. Works as a ‘clean preamp’ with the gain rolled off but you can definitely hear the mojo and as the gain increases so does the stank! Uh!! Comes with original box. TRex Bass Juice removed I really like this as a low gain always on sound but it can get wild and hairy and features a boost to go from od to full on filth! Another tough call as the tone, mix and gain all work together to really fine tune and dial in your tone with minimal fuss. I think it excelled with a jazz bass tone up full, a smidge of gain and mix about 0900. Balsa I’ve changed the board up and the VMT just edges it for my always in pedal and it works well with the other units on my board. Original box included. Pictures of both to follow - likely this afternoon.

  14. Sorry to hear that as I know you’ve put a lot of work into getting things just so. It’s all quality gear so it shouldn’t take too long to shift.
  15. What happened? 😀 A cull already
  16. Yeah I was always keen to try one but since they’ve introduced 3rd party ir’s it’s become much more appealing. Plus no buttons is always a great thing when on a live gigging board. My singer/guitarist always manages to move something during our set up. Every stinking time!
  17. Thanks yeah it makes sense that it would run ‘thru’ to the amp but I don’t recall seeing that listed in their bumpf but a few folk have confirmed it does.
  18. I dunno hence the question. You being sure isn’t quiet worth a £150 punt 😀 Joking aside it makes total sense that it would but I’d like to hear it confirmed before making a purchase.
  19. So can you run a non effected ‘thru’ using the 1/4” I/O’s so you have no cab sim affecting the signal to the amp. I understand I might be a bit night shift addled but I couldn’t find a direct mention to this in the DG info. Now I realise as soon as I commit this to the annals of time on the internet someone will post a direct quote form DG where it states this but I know they only made third party IR’s compatible in a previous update. Anyone using the Element this way or know if it can? Thanks
