@JapanAxei have a stellar tone tone styler for sale - it’s a B10 I used it in a p bass not the PZ5. and there’s a demo on bc somewhere with me using it with a TBird pick up. I’m at work but a search on bc should find it and let you hear it.
Just saying 😀
I think because the eq boosts are broad and musical they’re useable across the range of their sweep. The CBox isn’t as surgical as some units but it’s easy to get a great sound and not have to worry about it plus the TX’ers do add to the overall tone of the unit too.
I was comparing it with my Basswitch which is a less coloured unit and was thinking about running it into the Basswitch’ on it’s ‘no eq channel’ two have two distinct sounds available for my 80’s band. More character low mids thing from the CBox and a cleaner slappity sound from the Basswitch. It’s great having options I’d just need to double the size of my pedal board to make that happen!
Above and beyond the call of duty!
I just turned the knobs until it made noises what I like the sound of betterer!
Often there are ideas and opinions about gear in general based only on opinions *over practical experiences* and more so with no practical experience of the gear in question - the HPF on the CBox v.2 being no good with bass for instance seemed to totally ignore the fact it has a bass eq control for both boost/cut and frequency. Then applying some experimentation/imagination and or studio type trickery (the Pultec trick for instance) folks can get a wide range of sounds out of the Cbox and from my experience even change the low eq curve to tighten things up a bit and offer another option for eq’ing the low end.
The CBox is a great unit which does it’s thing in a variety of ways from musical to maniacal!
Top work Luke!
I did take some fine sandpaper to mine to remove the gloss. Mine is a bitsa with a Shuker P body and it's currently got a David Allen 1088 p pick up which sounds great.
The neck on these PB70's is, for me at least, the best profile Fender make - I think it's the B profile. @DoodI still have the Shuker/PB70 build - in fact its on my knee as I type this. My #1 😊
I’ve only trade fodder - had an Adam and loved the practicality of the unit. The AO drive is my preferred DG drive. Just works so much better across a range of styles.
It’s ok folks it was just a humours observation. I appreciate all the support but honestly I’m grand 😀 I’ve been this height since primary school and I’m very comfortable in my skin. 🙂
One of my mates has some Bose array stuff and some other kits too. He’s willing to loan us the Bose and see if we can get away with that for vocals initially. We’ve not fully had the pa discussion yet but if this project takes off it’ll be something we’ll need to chat about!
We all use them but I still take the bass amp for the feel and the iems help keep the ears protected in their own way.
I think the biggest drawback is the ‘feel’ but those KZ’s have 5 drivers per side and cover the lows very well. It could be a matter of quality of ear buds rather than it being worse for bass but we all have differing expectations or needs. As ever it’s balancing the need of the many with the wants of the few. Same goes for pa choices etc
