    What does the rest of you setup look like? Do you still get the hiss if you go direct bass->amp?

    Multi effects with very good octaver

    The Line 6 Helix line just got a new polyphonic pitch shift/octave in version 3.0 that might be worth checking out.

    A Cold Day in Hell

    GC has a 45 day return policy on used items. It wouldn’t make sense to not refund your layaway, because you could just buy it and then return it.

    Gig bag of good Quality

    I’m a big fan of the Gruvgear Gigblade (I have a Silver), because I usually just carry over one shoulder, but it’s really going to depend on how you use the bag. If you’re just carrying a block from car to gig, then I feel like the gigblade is a great option. If you tend to use the backpack...

    Help identifying a poorly treated P-bass I'm rescuing

    The big brass bridge saddles look like an Epiphone Accu-Bass, but the neck pocket isn’t right for that. Maybe somebody modified it to fit a different neck?

    Shure GLXD16 - Hardwire the cable?

    The latching push button connectors work fine. Shure sells a cable with the latching TA4F, s well as a bunch of the other accessories that also use the push button connector. Having said that, I’m not sure that the latching connector will really be an improvement in your case. The threaded...

    Shure GLXD16 - Hardwire the cable?

    Pretty sure the GLXD belt pack has a mini XLR 4 pin, which is the Amphenol AG4F, not the 3 pin.

    Did you maybe just upgrade the firmware, and not HX Edit?

    New to HX Stomp

    It's a pretty basic patch, Using a low/high cut at 40Hz/7kHz, a split at 500Hz to the distortion pedal (Teemah!), then to the Obsidian 7k, the IR, and a volume block connected to and expression pedal. Here's the patch file if you want to just import. You'll need to either find a suitable IR...

    New to HX Stomp

    On thing to remember on helix is that you don’t have to have a traditional signal chain. So you can use a pre-amp direct in to a speaker cab, for example. My go-to on helix is the Obsidian 7000 (Darkglass B7k) into a 3sigma Markbass 410HF IR. You can also put a volume pedal after the cab if...

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    A tip I picked up for bass wah on the helix is to add a split crossover before the wah to keep some low end. I have mine set at 250hz, using the UK Wah 846, and am pretty happy with the result.

    Oscilloscope help (Finally picked one)

    @fdeck hinted at it, but I’ll come out and say it. That’s way to much money for that scope. The HP1707 is a fine scope, It was my first scope, and I think it’s still hiding in my basement somewhere. But realistically, it’s close to 50 years old, and things have changed. The entry level...

    Good Ear Plugs - An Impossible Dream?

    I went through a bunch, including earasers, etyomic, hearos, etc. In the end, I went with the Westone customs. Totally worth the $. For universals, I’d rate the Westone universals highest. The Etyomics aren’t bad, but they seem more muffled that the Westones. I’m not a fan of the earasers...

    Another gig bag post!!! Mono or Gigblade 2 or ...

    I’m with @JimmyM on this one. I use the Gigblade Silver, and it’s great. So much easier to carry than the traditional design, especially if you’re going short distances and don’t want to go all in with the double backpack straps. I’ve never had trouble going up or down stairs with it, although...

    Recommendations for Budget live-mixer

    You haven’t said what your budget is, but if you can swing it, I’d suggest looking at the Behringer X32 line. We’re running the X32 Rack, which is great as long as you’re comfortable setting up and working with WiFi and a tablet. Having the ability to mix with a tablet from anywhere on stage...

    Leather Equivalent of the Comfort Strapp??

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    Remember that with the stomp, you can do more than just model conventional rigs. You can model things that would just never work in the real world. For a clean tone, try just eq->cab. or, if you don’t want EQ, just a cab model or IR. Maybe add a compressor, but the point is you don’t have to...

    Ergo Straps

    I have these on two of my basses. They are quite simply amazing. Super comfy, beautiful materials and workmanship. Just the right amount of padding. I do weekly 3.5 hr sessions with my 9 1/2 lb BTB and really don’t feel it at all.

    Practicing with Headphones - quality sound

    The first place I’d look for improvement is the headphones themselves. You don’t say what you’re using, but especially for bass, it’s the key element to a good sound. There are plenty of great options in every price range from Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Sony, AKG, and others...

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    I have this setup on several of my patches. It’s easy to do with a send block. Setup is [effects]->[Send Block]->[Amp/Cab Model]. Run the main outs to FOH, and the effects send out to your amp

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    Overdrive I think you’re going to be short an output. The Stomp only has 2 outputs, main out and loop send. With 4CM, you use the loop send to go to the instrument input, and the main send to the power amp input, there’s nothing left to go to FOH EDIT: I take it back - you can do it, and you...
