    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I've decided to sell all of my Zoom pedals. GuitarLab version 3 broke accessibility for screenreader users, meaning I would have to try and accurately write out, then memorize menus on three different pedals in order to use them, and would never be able to participate in preset exchanges. The...

    Free editor for Zoom pedals: B1on, B1Xon, MS-60b

    I have three pedals now that work with this software. It's killing me that I can't use it. @Tonelib I'm not sure what language you're using to code, but please look into how to build accessibility similar to the Java Access Bridge, QT accessibility plug-in, UIA on Windows etc. into a future...

    Free editor for Zoom pedals: B1on, B1Xon, MS-60b

    I love the idea, unfortunately the app is not coded in a way that makes it useful to us visually impaired players. Not a single thing in ToneLib reads with my speech software. If you ever decide to do a rework, I would hope that if possible you considered accessibility going forward.

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I've purchased a B3N. It looks like one of the most efficient multiFX units for those of us with little or no vision. Unfortunately, Zoom's manuals are still done in a way that the OCR of any controls is removed or never done. So I have to get physical layout notes on buttons and footswitches...

    Barefaced Audio Unveils the Eight 10

    Want this so much. Not happening any time soon though. Shipping here would be almost as much as the cab. Would love to play through one though.

    Even though I just bought my bassman, that is still tempting.

    Fender Rumble Club

    Thought I'd drop by and say how much I'm enjoying both my Fender products, the Bassman 500 and Rumble 100. They've both only been played at home so far, but they sound amazing with my new ESP bass. The Rumble was supposed to go up to my parents' place as I spend long weekends there and wanted a...

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    Thought I'd post to say I've given up my number, as I'm giving Fender amps a try. I enjoyed my Fusion, but it just didn't give me quite the sound I need.

    Fender Rumble Club

    Today, I went to pick up my bass fresh from a setup and string change. I came back home with a Rumble 100 and Bassman 500. Now I have those, and L&M has a decent grip on my wallet for the next year. If it hadn't been for a friend helping me get them home, I don't think I'd have bought either as...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Took my bass in for a setup yesterday, and put some money down to get a Bassman 500 head in. (grumbles about Long and McQuade never having any interesting stuff in stock near me) so that'll be here in a week. My bass should be ready by Tuesday, so at that point I'll go down and mess with the...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Got things put up for sale locally. Here's hoping I can place my order for a Bassman 500 and Rumble 40 or 100 within the next week. Waiting till my new bass settles to get it set up, then try it with the two combos at the local store. I'm excited.

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    Got my Fusion back today. It worked when they tried it at the store, and it worked when I got it home. Maybe it just needed to be unplugged for a while, or transporting it jiggled something back into place... who knows? Either way, happy to have it back in working order.

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    My MB Fusion had to go to L&M for warranty work last night. Think there's an issue with the power amp. Powered it up yesterday morning to jam and the headphones and line out worked, but absolutely no signal was going to the speakons. Hoping they can get it repaired soon. Using my Zoom B1ON for...

    Amps with footswitch distortion... really this rare?

    Thanks for the information. Used is a little difficult, I'm hesitant to buy gear off places like EBay, and most of the stuff I want seems to be in the US, and isn't worth getting shipped to Canada. Especially on bigger, higher priced items the import fees are murder. Plus, I'm a broke bassist...

    Amps with footswitch distortion... really this rare?

    I've decided I want built-in distortion to make situations where I don't need to bring my full setup a little easier. I'd rather carry a head and footswitch than a head, pedal, power supply and more cables. My Fusion doesn't really get to true distortion, even on channel B. From my research so...

    I've found the cure for G.A.S.

    I haven't had a female companion of any sort since I've started playing bass. But I don't think that would stop the GAS. When it strikes, it strikes. I resisted it for a year, but just recently broke down. New bass should be here tomorrow, and I'm researching amps. Even lack of money doesn't...

    New: Tech 21 VT-500 Bass Amp

    Subscribed. Amp GAS has struck me, so I'm considering options. Leaning toward a Rumble for the distortion, but keeping my mind open.

    Fender Rumble Club

    Thanks @Linnin for the link and info. I've got an ESP F-5 bass coming in sometime this week. Hopefully my local L&M can keep stock of some new Rumbles until it arrives. At the moment they have 100 and 40, not sure how many, but I'll try them out. From the Youtube videos I've heard I do like the...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I'm still reading the thread, but I have a couple questions. If they've been answered, feel free to throw page numbers at me. First, are the cabs different than the combos in build quality? Looking at the specs the cabs seem to be a lot heavier than the respective combos. Is that because there's...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I'm thinking of grabbing one of the V3 Rumbles as a second amp. My local music store finally has a couple in stock, so I'm heading down when my new bass is in to check them out. It'll either be the 40 or 100 for me. Here's hoping the overdrive sounds as good in person as it does in demos.

    Hardware for using iPad as a pedalboard

    Line 6 also make a version of the Sonic Port without the mics. It's got a 1/4 out that claims to work plugged into an amp. I don't own one so I don't know for sure but apparently you can get line level from it. Line 6 Guitar Interface For IOS Devices - Long & McQuade Musical Instruments There's...

    Zoom B1on New FX unit

    Now own the B1on. Pretty cool pedal. Still getting used to the interface though. The only thing I kind of wish it had was tap tempo. But at least when you change the tempo setting somewhere it adjusts globally. Would've been a massive pain in the neck if it didn't. Definitely going to use it for...

    G-K not that available in Canada?...Pity

    I've had a lot of frustration with L&M on stock levels. About 75% of things I've wanted to try, including GK Neo cabs weren't in anywhere in the province. I did get my MB Fusion 500 from there though. Depends what you want and on timing I guess. But all three Calgary stores have given good...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    A comp pedal is a good idea. Helpful either way until I get better with finger style. The MS60 I have has a few I believe. Just have to get my notes on it cleaned up before I can navigate the interface.

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    I tried a Mesa Powerhouse 2x10 yesterday. I quite like the sounds I can get. It does have a little farting at louder volumes on the lowest string, but with a little EQ tweaking I can keep most of the low end and get rid of that. I'm curious though, is the 2x10 supposed to have the adjustable...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    JACink I'll do that. Found another option just now, though I think it's too good to be true: Ashdown ABMC110 400W 1x10 Bass Tube Combo Amp | Musician's Friend I have a hard time believing they can push 400 watts through a 1x10. Even half that is a stretch. Also the weight is off. Dimensions...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    The CX sounded good and was pretty light. No wheels though, not much on the corners for protection, and just a cloth grill. Which is probably fine but I have seen the steel grill on my Golight get dents. True, the Golight is pretty light on the low end, so the Neo410 will be better there. If I...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    I think I did play the Neo410 yesterday. But it'd definitely have to go on a cart as I can't push things in front of me and navigate with my cane. And I don't think it's all that much smaller spec wise than my Golight 4x10 I have now. Maybe a little lighter. I did try another decent sounding GK...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    Any thoughts on the GK MB150S-112 for my situation? I'm thinking it probably wouldn't be loud enough. But that was definitely the most interesting thing I saw at the shop today. Light, sounded great and was flexible. It sounds like places with PA systems are around 50-50 here, so having a cab...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    Ok, I'll also put the V3 Rumbles on my list as they do look somewhat interesting. So I've basically paired it down to a 2x10 with neos, a hand cart and my MB Fusion 500, the RS210C with or without a Rebel head for the wheels and handle, or going with some sort of 2x10 combo whether that be GK or...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    RichSnyder I'm good with either way. I do use a cane, so if I went with a cart I'd have to be able to pull it behind one handed. I'm just not really able to tell what kind of cab would fit well on a cart, as I don't want to deal with the weight distribution issues if too much of it is outside...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    I didn't see any actual driver specs on the pages for Barefaced, but it looked like the Super Compact G3 could take my 500 watt Fusion. I'm glad I didn't get the 800 because that would make things even more complicated. I'm not sure how loud I'll end up needing to be, but I know with my last...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    I was thinking of the MiniMega mainly for the built-in compresser and HPF to save a bit of space on my pedalboard. But I do definitely love my Fusion. It would kind of be a downgrade. I did also actually look into one of the little micro stack type deals, but those are another thing no one...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    It's definitely difficult. But until they figure out how to let people with little to no sight drive I'm depending on others or transit. I do have some numbers of cabbies, but waiting especially after gigs could be an issue. I'd love to just get a 1x12, get someone to make a nice strong backpack...

    Rig Advice for someone without a car

    Hi TBers Here's the situation: Due to not being able to drive I need a good loud rig that'll fit in the back of smallish cabs, on a hand cart for transit/walking or have its own tiltback transport system. I have to be able to pull it behind me. I've currently got an MB Fusion and may be...

    New Barefaced Generation 3 cabs announced

    Anyone using Gen 3's with an MB Fusion? Looking at a super compact as a single cab rig for stage monitoring, to back up the PA or for practice/those gigs where no PA is available. Is this a good idea? Is the amp too powerful for the cab? Thanks
