Hello! Thank you for all replies! I almost lost my original question.. I am considering buying a Fender Rumble 500 or Hartke HD500 bass combo. As far as I understood from the answers, a combo should be better tuned and less prone to issues, but still I would like to know whether some of these...

Hello! What are the options for buying an HPF in Europe? I am wondering about Radial Engineering SB-4, but it uses 48 V phantom power, and that's not very practical for live usage. I am planning to buy Joyo R-12 Band Controller EQ to chase a certain type of sound, and am wondering whether that...

Hello! I have an Ibanez SRH505F with piezo pickups. Should I also worry about phase switching and HPF with it? If so, could this also work, as I am located in Europe?: https://www.thomann.de/intl/radial_engineering_sb_4.htm I am looking also for a light and affordable combo for that bass...

I would simply like to understand why should I buy that pedal, as there are far cheaper options. As far as I understand, their output is different than normal ones - is that because it is 1/8" vs. 1/4" on other expression pedals, or is it because it is TRRS vs TRS on other expression pedals? In...

OK, in that case is there any benefit in using the SA dual expression pedal with C4? I guess both outputs of the expression pedal would feed the same signal, and actually C4 seems to have only one control input. I am asking just because I read in the C4 manual, that it should be used with the...

I am not familiar with pedals, which do x/y. Do they have an ability to press in two directions - toes-heel, and left-right? Is Source Audio Dual Expression of such kind, as the only feature I could find listed is that it has two outputs, instead of one, which I couldn't figure out how could be...

Ooooook, take my moneeeeey! :)

Thank you for replying! So, it seems like the dual expression pedal will not bring any benefit with C4 over a regular expresion pedal? Hopefully someone replies on the fretless question as well.

Hello, I have three questions, please: - How does C4 handle long slides over several semitones on a fretless - will it be smooth, or quantized? - Can you configure the expression pedal to control dry/wet ratio? - Can a regular expression pedal be used, and is there any benefit in using the dual...

Hello, Has anyone compared Converter+ to Meris Enzo? I would like to use them with a fretless, and be able to slide through several semitones without any configurations about how much semitones would be the slide. Seems like Converter+ is capable in doing that, but what about Enzo, and how do...

Hello, Does it output MIDI notes and control messages through the USB, to control an external synth? Will it work with a fretless - how does it handle long glissandi with different lenghts? Will it work with a piezo pickup only?

Thank you, Aidil! I was mislead by some comment somewhere where the bass was sold about Elixirs, but seems like that person has changed the factory d'Addarios with Elixirs. The only solution which comes to my mind currently is to use the E and A from the original d'Addarios, and D, G and C from...

"new nut cut for starters" - not sure exactly what you mean? If you mean a new nut with slots made for the gauge of the Thomastik strings in high-C runing, I already tried that as described, and no effect. Now there is more to the story - yesterday I removed the Thomastiks and put back the...

Not very far ago I acquired a brand-new Invalid Link Removed bass (5-string, fretless, semi-hollow, piezzo pickups). I want to play with high-C tuning, so removed the B-string, and added a d'Addario high-C (0.032) to the rest four factory flatwound strings (Elixirs as far as I am aware). With...

Hello, Several days ago finally found time to put on the Thomastik JF 346 strings, and now a new issue - actually maybe the one I was afraid of at the very beginning - now I have a buzz on open A-string, and some strange overtones throughout most of the positions of A-string. Also some...
