Many thanks for all the support. I love this community! There’s another layer to this that irks me. I’ve discussed in other threads that I had carpal tunnel surgery recently. Leading up to the surgery they told me that they might get someone to fill in while I was out (they can play as a 2...

RA is no joke. I’m glad you have a diagnosis and are working around that situation. Support and cheers to you for not giving up, bass brother!

Well, I just found out I got replaced in a band. This is not something that has happened often in the 25+ years that I’ve been playing, so it’s kind of under my skin. I’m just one in a growing line of bass players that this band has gone through. The BL is an OCD control freak so I figured it...

Update: I’m doing great post-surgery!

Yeah, that sounds like dUgtone to me too. Could be Darkglass, but we’ll go with dUg on this thread 😎🤘.

Bring a little folding stool and have it next to your amp or anywhere that's not in the path of on-stage movement. Keep your beer, a sweat rag, your phone, whatever else you need on it.

Simplifying the whole chain isn't a bad idea but you probably like your pedals, so assuming you want to keep them you have a lot of options. Odds are your lows are cranked all over your signal chain. Try flattening them out a bit, like 12:00 ish. Maybe flatten the entire head eq section but keep...

Wow, that does not work at all. This is the first time I've used this box without the Mix engaged in, idk, a year or so maybe. It even makes the compressor suck. Dialing it out helps but then you're fighting with the volume knob. I think a version 2 of this pedal would be improved by...

I’m going to give this a try today, thanks

This has been my experience as well. The clean tone is kinda useless, but if someone has figured out a way to use it I'm all ears. This is an "always and everything on" box for me. I tried to gig it with a p bass with flats while the drive & chunk were disengaged, but it was so bad my band...

Sire is fire. Mine blows away both my G&Ls.

I’m trying out for a new band tomorrow with these settings. I started from the “Brutal” preset/suggestion (they’re not heavy), then dialed back the comp, the clean mid, upped the clean treble, reduced the gain channel’s treble, drive, and pushed the mid button to “post”. I think it sounds great...

Congrats man! I have one of these in this color with flats too. I think it looks, sounds and feels great!

There are dozens of them. Dozens!

The high pass filter cuts off frequencies below where the dial is set and the low pass filter cuts off frequencies above where the dial is set. Just keep tweaking and playing around until you find a sound you like. I found myself overthinking it, and then eventually realized that if I just...

Geddy’s sound is in the manual. I recommend dialing it to those specs and then pulling back the drive a bit, etc. to get the sound you are thinking of.

Between those 2 it’s the VT for my money.

I’m currently recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. It ain’t fun, but it had to get done.

🤦🏻 yep, oops

Wow! My thought was, "Why doesn't Ohm sound like this?"

My short review is that while I'm not always happy with the individual channel tones, once that crossover switch is in I have to try very hard to make this thing suck. If it had a little tuner in it it would be the only thing on my board. I love it!

Current settings, but I’m always fiddling.

this great and it slides right into talking about Klos, covering my two best purchases last year!

Yes, sorry. Thanks for the correction.

Not necessarily, because I do tweak it a bit every time I’m playing. I switch basses depending on what I’m playing/who I’m playing with so I’m always adjusting it. Giving the x-over a V shape seems to coax out more of an aggressive clank while pulling them together smooths that over. It’s been...

I believe it goes to both, but I don’t have the manual on me

The speaker sim is always on, but just for the clean channel. It sounds fantastic.

I’m really loving this box. Currently I’m in the studio with this board. Sounds great! No complaints possible. I’m going to sell off at least 2 pedals, including my Geddy Lee DI 2112. Just wow.

Yep

Yep. There’s a couple edges that are having trouble staying on, but otherwise it’s pretty sharp.

The G&L SB-2 might do ya. I love mine.

My birthday was a couple days ago, and with the Halloween events around here between then and today, it all kinda bleeds together. Usually it means I don’t get around to a costume, but sometimes it means I get a Misfits themed present. You can tell by the bridge it’s a G&L Jazz Tribute so it’s...

ACS Customs have been my absolute favorite. I lucked out with a free mold session and they’ve been very dear to me. Replacements have been about $100 but worth it. Your hearing is more precious than any bit of gear you’ll spend similar money on.

After yet another finger injury and some regular guitar playing, I’ve found myself more of a pick player than my go-to finger style. After settling on triangles, I’ve found my favorite triangle shaped picks and both are from Acoustik Attak. The Devin Townsend Earthtone signature series is just...

A cash strapped but well trained upright player I know went for the Harley Benton EUB 500 and has said great things about it. I don't see it on Thomann anymore but I guess you could reach out to them to see if they will restock. Like any other bass you'll probably want a decent preamp on the...

The minute I pulled a ~$200 (including shipping) Harley Benton out of a box that crossed an ocean a couple days prior with absolutely perfect setup and intonation I said, "Oof, Fender might be cooked". Now I'm not saying we should all sell our expensive P basses for cheap versions, but I think...

Yeah the D string is too far over at the bridge and it's making my eye twitch.

Yamaha BB234

Again, this is where I can help lol.
