    Unfortunately, unlined fretless in a mass produced bass is pretty rare.

    Oh no, I am stunned and saddened to hear this. I'd been planning to drop in and see him next time I was in Monmouth visiting relatives. Such sad news.

    These are great basses! I had a six for a while, then realised sixes and I do not get on, so I sold it on. That said, I added another strap button to the other side of the bridge and it sorted the angled body perfectly, so I'd highly recommend that. Also bought some larger luminous dots off Amazon to deal with the visibility issue, which also worked really well. Yours looks lovely.

    Yep, I can and do make my own cables. The only reason I asked is because this patchbay has a USB though, which means I can use this to charge the power bank without detaching it from underneath the board. The 1/4" jacks were just a bonus and it made sense to use them for my input and outputs. If they work then all good, but if not I can just bypass them.

    Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to double check!

    Specifically, a cable from by bass into the Rockboard Mod 2 patchbay, then a mono cable from there to my Boss MS-3 multi FX (I don't use this in stereo), and then from the MS-3 back to the patch bay and from there to the amp. I didn't spot that all the 1/4" jacks on this patchbay are TRS!!!

    Rebuilding my pedalboard tonight.  Downsizing a bit.

      Back-pedalling huh?  You freewheeler you.

      Bass - Tuner - Amp 😁👍🏻, that’s all you need

      I would agree Rich, for the last three decades I never used pedals.  It's only by playing in a band that does a lot of 80s covers that some effects have been appropriate.

    I don't think they are taking orders at the moment anyway they are so busy. I think around £7k last time I looked!
  9. franzbassist
    I kinda hope so....

    Thomann will have stock in 4-5 weeks and it'll cost £190.

    I have been looking at the HX Effects to replace my Boss MS-3 but can't justify the £499 price tag. This looks like it will float my boat for way less money. Speaking of which, is this available anywhere yet?
  12. franzbassist
    Yep, simultaneous multiple effects and presets. Why would you buy the HX One when you can use this?
  13. franzbassist
    That is a lot of bang for your buck. 21 presets!!!!

    The Providence is a lovely chorus and highly recommended.

    My Boss MS-3 has been terrific for a number of years, but being fickle I fancy a change and the Helix range appeal to me. I'm not really interested in amp and cab sims, so the HX Effects is the front runner for me. I initially liked the HX One, but I think BIgwan has nailed it as to why it's not the pedal to get even if it sounds great. But then, I really like my MS-3 so should probably just stick with that!

    How long are these please, ball end to silk?
  18. franzbassist
    I'm looking for a square board, about 30cm wide and deep. Anything out here that fits the bill?
  19. franzbassist
    All my straps are made by Heistercamp: black on the outside and lined with smooth leather on the inside that is a colour to match (or at least tone with) the relevant bass. As all the basses are different shapes I find this the easiest way to ensure the right strap goes on the right bass. I appreciate this is a first world solution....

    I'm selling my Providence Bass Boot Comp. It's had very little use, as I tended to use the compressors in my Boss MS-3 once I bought that unit, so is in excellent condition. A nice and simple compressor. It's in excellent condition and is in perfect working order and comes with original box. Price is posted in the UK.

    Surely it should say "an abomination"?
  22. franzbassist
    I don't need it, but I keep coming back and looking..... Quite a few in stock it seems: GuitarGuitar, Stompbox, Gear4Music etc.
  23. franzbassist
    I'm assuming this is an MS-3 on steroids? If so I would highly recommend it!

    Just worked out "Mr Blue Sky",  What a great bassline!

      I'd just like to take a second to thank @prowla for his valuable contribution.  Anyone else gots some chips that need p!ssing on?  😂

      Oi! - I never said the bassline wasn't any good...

      ...but then again I can't say I've ever listened to it, as my ears don't like the song.

      Marvellous, well done.  I look forward to more pointless negativity from you about stuff you don't like.  Helps the forum glide along nicely.  🤪

    If it has to be Mono, and there are many cheaper alternatives that will do the job just fine (e.g. Gator and TGI), I would pass on the Sleeve as it's definitely no good for basses with angled headstocks, pus the padding is minimal on the sides, and the M80s as they are bulky. Personally, I loved the convenience of the Vertigo.
