Can it get the sounds the MXR can. Moog, etc?

Bought a HB bass body and neck from me. Smooth transaction, highly recommend basschatter.

Yet another positive comment, bought an MM pickup and preamp from me. Effortless transaction.

Bought a lovely vintage modified P from him. Effortless transaction, deal with confidence.

That's 100% what I want. Like someone else here said, if it nails the sounds we love (don't care how it's achieved frankly), the ease of use of a single stomp, and has the accurate tracking and low latency... Well, that's the holy grail right? It will almost certainly outsell every other synth pedal released recently, combined.

Good to hear. It would be interesting to hear a comparison with the MXR. This is why I'm so baffled that a 20+ year old pedal like the Bass Synth Wah can nail the tracking so well. Such a shame I don't like the synth sounds, I don't find them in the least usable. Can't say I'm crazy about the octave tone either but it was a small price to pay for the tracking accuracy a

I owned an FI for a while. I wish I'd heard your clip before I bought it, because even though you played the song noticeably slower that the original, it can't keep up when playing those octave notes. I actually own them. He's used a combination of pedals to get those sounds, so each one is a scene. Even though I own the Helix (and the tracking is superb), I use it like bunch of stomp boxes (albeit with a 'hidden' Ampeg rig at the end of the chain). I need to hit one button and go. If I were to buy this MXR pedal, I'd probably only ever use one of the presets and stick to it.

Thanks! Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody.

I've been trying the synths in my Helix Stomp XL but I'm not getting the results I want.... not scratching that itch.

I've searched through this thread but I haven't seen anyone ask how this pedal handles playing octaves in quick succession. The only 2 pedals that can track those that I know of are the the latest Boss Synth pedal and Digitech Bass synth Wah (which I bought from my friend and yours @Al Krow ). However, I'm not a fan of the synth sounds available on those. If this can do that, it will tick all the boxes.

Absolutely 100%. A few years ago, I bought a bass on BC that I then realised had a bowed neck after I tried to (unsuccessfully) lower the action to my liking. The seller not only refused to take it back but completely denied there was anything wrong with it because they'd just had it set up. Which either makes his luthier inexperienced/incompetent or the seller an out-and-out liar. It's only when things go wrong that you find out people's true character. My luthier managed to straighten it with heating and clamping, but I then couldn't stand the sight of it so sold it on eBay. Obviously, detailing the problem and remedial action. Lost a lot of money on it and made me very wary of buying basses here. So huge kudos to @reggieboomboom, you're one of the good ones.

Recently bought this but too large for my needs. 4 butterfly clips and lid comes straight off. 3 handles on each long side. Very, very sturdily built with aluminium edging and ball corners. Standard stuff. Would estimate the weight to be around 10kg but can weigh if someone was interested Exterior dimensions: 81 x 61 x 39 cm Interior dimensions Without lid: 76 x 56 x 28 cm The lid adds another 7cm in height. Lined throughout with 1cm thick hard foam. Prefer collection but can be posted at cost. I estimate it would be around £30 with Parcelforce. I would send it as-is; without packaging.

Was asked if a standard fender neck would fit on this body. Seems to be one fret longer than a standard fender neck. you might have to move the bridge back a little bit to compensate, but there looks like there’s more than enough room. You might be able to see the side screw holes though. Although there might be enough adjustment in the bridge saddles to allow you not to have to move the bridge back. -
Bought for a project that I lost interest in. In almost unmarked condition, with a really nice wood grain. Has also had a battery box routed out and it looks to have been done professionally. these are out of stock at the moment on Thomann and if you are looking to buy one simply to upgrade it, this is a good alternative. current weight without electronics is 3.5 kg Will be shipped with the neck removed to keep costs down. I put some strings on to give it a quick test and the neck seems fine, but I can’t guarantee anything as I’ve not finished it. Personally, I think the price of admission is worth it for the body alone. £75 delivered to mainland UK only or picked up for discount

Upgrade your musicman style bass. Norstrand big split man 4 and John East MMSR4 knob three band with Bell plate. The bell plate apparently drops straight into a music man Stirling or OLP bass.q New, this combo would cost you about £430. £250 delivered to UK only, or collected for discount bought for a project that I lost interest in. only trade option would be a sterling ray 34.

U2 tribute band needs new bassist, a question for you all
Sharkfinger replied to police squad's topic in General Discussion
Intentionally. If I understood correctly, they wanted to grow beyond their post-punk / new wave niche (which is my favourite stuff of theirs) to have a wider appeal, which meant breaking the American market. Personally, not a fan of the stuff after Unforgettable Fire other than a couple songs off Joshua Tree. -
