Out of the six that I've owned and played, my '09 SJ/P would be the last to go...

Watch out where the huskies go...
Eazy... My Z3. Hell I sold three basses just to buy it and I don't regret a thing.

You have one gorgeous beast there, brother! What is the top wood?
This forum really needs a "LOVE!" emoticon. Can't beat wenge & trans white in my book. I have been successfully avoiding (looking and not buying) Bob's old wenge/trans white Super P in the classifieds...
ooooooooh we're doing photos of our #1. Got it.
Don't get me wrong, the Helix is AMAZING! It'll do everything the Fractal stuff will do, the main thing I heard was the quality of the effects was just a smidge higher on the Fractal stuff. I still have nothing but love for the Helix. I used it in my studio and I used it live, and got great results both ways.
Plus, I'd like to try Fractal amp models.
$300. Twice.
First $300 bought a pristine Line 6 Pod HD 500x. Add $30 for the bass package with pretty convincing Ampeg and GK models. Hours and hours into the Line6 editor and Line Monkey boogaloo. More hours into figuring out what all these many, many, (egads there’s skads of em) things do. Searching YouTube for videos on what to do when it loses it’s mind and there’s nothing, or the expression pedal quits working.
And I’ve got two patches built that I like. But hey, it’s kind of fun. There’s tons of amps and cabs, pre amps, eq, comps, and fx. You really need to be using the editor software for a visual and the ease to drop down menus and onscreen adjustments. If I have time to kill, it’s quite the rabbit hole....
Second three bills bought a Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra.
Five minutes and I’m grinning ear to ear. I figured out the Darkglass modeling suite in another ten minutes and ran through the cab sims. Picked the Nolly. Even better.
I run a Ovnilab smoothie comp, the pitchfork octaver, the AOU into my Zoom B3 for another three slots of spices. And I’m good. Live, it would probably be just the comp and AOU (its a nice di too)
The Zoom B3 is still my go to for practice, and it just is so much easier to work with. I line up the subtle stuff like chorus, reverb and envelope, and it’s just like three pedals. Plus the looper is easy and plenty fine. Add the drum machine, and usb hookup to the Mac, and it’s a great tool.
Cool as it is, the big, does it all Line 6 is just a bit complicated. I’m overwhelmed with adjustment s and choices. And it could really use a drum machine.
I could see the Line 6 getting thrown back in the TB endless river of used effects. I’ll let it collect dust for a few more months and see how I feel. I know it’s a few years back in the product lineup, so the newer Line6 may have big improvements.
The Darkglass feels like a keeper. Just the clean, 6 band graphic eq is great. The cab sims are cool. The dirt and drives are outrageous. It’s so much better than the B3k I sold after a few months.
Every time I try a multi, I go back to simple. Just like I’m loving the Super P with its two controls.
And, since I sold the others, this will be the keeper.
Happy Saturday!

Yes, I remember when that was listed for sale here on TB...the HS bubinga right? I must have looked at that 100 times. And as I recall it was in virtually new condition.
