+100 I've never understood why the Promethean P5110 didn't make it. For size/weight, power, and sound, the thing killed -- yet somehow never found a market. If you can find one used, jump on it. I won't be giving up mine ...

Suzi Quatro. Gives us an excuse to enjoy this again:

Just discovered the same thing, independently. Told by a stateside dealer yesterday that none of the medium scale RB 5s will be available in the U.S. -- active or passive, satin or black. Looks like ebonalley scored one only because it was a floor demo from NAMM. Bitterly disappointed...

Yeah, I've slowly reached the same conclusion. Six presets are a lot more appealing than two, and the real estate savings of the SB2 design will be wiped out by needing an adaptor. Looks like instant gratification (the BEF Pro is available right now) is the way to go. Thanks for your insights.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just to clarify, is the adapter intended to support _both_ MIDI and the HH hooked up at the same time? In other words, the performer could pull up a preset via MIDI, then immediately start applying Hot Hand control to pedal output?

Got a question for folks familiar with the Soundblox Pro and version 2 product lines: it's about how they handle MIDI and Hot Hand inputs. Right now, I've got a Programmable EQ that's controlled via the MIDI jack. Works great, and I'd like to continue that approach by adding a BEF 2 when it...

Another way to play the varitone game is to add this near the start of your signal chain: I use one with a Jag, and it puts four very different-sounding instruments on tap. (Five if you count turning it off.) Controls eight frequency bands; the LED display wraps around left to give access...

Ibanez Promethean P5110 ... 250 watts out of 27 lbs gives new meaning to "punching above your weight":

Well, for what it's worth, I switched to the 1954s from Chromes on a fairly thin-necked Italia. Didn't like the loose tension of the Chrome B, despite its girth. Nut filing was required to get that fat boy in, and I couldn't get it to stop rattling at the string height I preferred. The 1954s...

Please do. I think there would be a lot of interest.

That's awfully appealing. What exactly are we looking at?

Thanks for the clarification, but the two BG250s I've tried had nada, zero, zilch treble control. I spent a fair amount of time experimenting with both passive and active basses, EQ combinations, comparing with that Uriah Duffy "tone contouring" video ... just about everything short of attaching...

Same here: I sent my back for a replacement last week, since I loved everything about the thing except the AWOL treble control, which is kind of a deal-breaker for a bass combo. It's a great little unit, but they've clearly got a problem with quality control. Looks like a whole factory run...

Just noticed that Musicians Friend has the BG250 in stock and is running a 15% Memorial Day coupon code: FREEDOM15. That makes it $340, no tax, free shipping to CONUS. Tempting, no?

SOLD!

Bought this a year ago, when I wanted a grab-n-go combo for rehearsals outside the house. Long story short, those rehearsals never took off and -- even though this thing's compact -- it's just been taking up space in the study. So let's put it to work. Weighs only 23 lbs, with 200/250w...

You kidding? It'd be great. Meanwhile, thanks for all the helpful (very clearly explained) clips you've been posting.

This mostly, plus a slim profile neck will help. I had exactly the same concern a year ago, but am having no trouble at all now. Helps that I favor flats, which reduces the finger noise that can come with slightly more movement. But mostly, it's just a matter of practice. If I could get the...

It's the minor second of I, the root.

Don't have experience with the Badass, but for what it's worth, installed the Babicz and have really liked it. Perfectly matched up with the string spacing and hole alignment, and its engineering is pretty slick. Appearance is always a matter of taste, but to me the thing looks beefy and...

Actually, going through the front end was my first choice. I'd had the modded VT Bass for several months before the SL, so I started with the same setup as before -- VT in front, using blend to let some "natural" instrument voice come through. That worked great for goosing a GK combo. But in...

You're not alone. A few weeks back, after dialing in my preferred SL tone, I placed a VT Bass Deluxe with the Putnam blend mod in the effects loop. 60% SL core, 40% VT/Ampegish tweak. Result is tubetastic tone on tap, going from dark and (mostly) clean to gritty, oily grime. :cool: Hadn't...

No.

You can post to an online forum, but you can't use an internet store? Yet you have an address that can be shipped to?

Tortoise.

Looks snazzy, but what are the outer dimensions of these things? Couldn't find any specs on the Knobeez page.

Downloaded the app to my Mac and spent some time with it today. Here's what I wrote at the end of the survey: Mini-manual should be a little less "mini" -- it would help to have a more complete explanation of the concepts involved, some practical examples of its usage to achieve specific goals...
