Hello fellow bass players Reaching out to you for some help, if you can. I end up pulling the trigger on a new Headrush MX5, as the title says. I'm new to multifx, been using mostly single pedals. Needed a solution for multiple sounds I didn't have, for my covers band. The MX5 is mostly used...

Oh, good suggestion! I haven´t thought of searching that one, I honestly thought it was more an effect switcher with a couple of fx, but it has all the fx I need, probably. And the 3 loops are great to integrate my pedals!

Is the pitch shifting on bass good on the Boss?

Yeah, after searching the Boss GT-1000CORE and really seems a better option in terms of what it can do, definitely. Although it is 200 € more, I guess it could be a better option.

Hello bass people! I need your expertise help, please. I need a couple of fx to add to my pedalboard because of a couple of songs my band is now playing - octave -1 and octave +1 (not at the same time) - pitch shifter 1 and a 1/2 step down for a song we play that needs a C# open string (I have a...

Hello there I'm a proud quilter bb800 owner for a while now and I am very pleased with it. I have a question that I couldn't find anywhere... Can I use only the line out on the amp, without connecting any speakers? Thanks

I have a gk 400rb II that I currently use with an ampeg svt 210he + a svt 15e but willing to downsize the weight of cabs I carry twice a week to gigs... While hunting for cabs I heard of barefaced and luckily a BB2 popped up locally in the classifieds... Do you think it will be a good match? I...

There must be some portuguese folks working in canadian customs, lol :D

Here in Portugal if we have the bad luck of an item stopping at customs for inspection it can take months to be cleared... Portuguese customs are known for being incompetent. Lots o complaints from local businesses who needs merchandise to arrive quickly, risking of losing clients because of...

It's not the VAT (here is IVA) that upsets me, we know we have to pay it, it's the time it takes to be liberated from customs and the fees associated with it. IVA would be around 50€, the rest are fees... It took more time to be cleared from customs than it took to arrive to Portugal. From the...

I'm a really proud owner of a DE-CL. It improved my sound in ways like no other pedal had done it before.I'm glad I came across the reviews of bongomania and decided to take a shot at this one, although the waiting list and the shipping hassle... But now I cut through the mix like never before...

Deal closed on the 400rb ii. Paid 180 € for it, guess it was a good price. Haven't had much time to explore it, but from the little I could try I think I'll be pleased... Gonna play it more later, I'll post some thoughts about it then. Thanks

I know that the more powerfull mb500 would be better (more versatile, at least), but the 400RB II in mint condition that appeared now used for 200 € or even less (if I negotiate a little) is a deal that I probably can´t deny, don't you think? Does the mb500 is worth the difference in value? I...

Thanks for all your input. Just when I was leaning towards the mb500, a 400rb ii appeared on the used market here in my area for 200 eurs... It's 300 eurs less than the mb new... Do you think it has enough power for my needs? I see that this model (400rb ii) has a lot of love around talkbass...

Thanks for the reply. They're 8 ohms each but only 250 and 200 watts, do you think they will handle the 500 watts from the head ok? I definitly want GK, but I'm ponderating between MB500 and 400RB... Do you think MB500 is better? I know MB has more power, but I'm with some doubts between this...
