i guarantee you could sell them and pay for one with the profits. that’s what i did, kept a few faves (like my always on VST) and sold the rest. ta da, instant stomp pedal and smaller pedalboard.
or you could go full @howard and chuck it all and go all on computer nerd. which btw i’m fairly sure is the way to go, but i still like having an amp.
Yeah I already sold 2 amps. I do like analog gear, but for me personally amp & cab sims is the way to go. I’m still balancing between full computer nerd and multi-fx pedals into a monitor. Selling my Ampeg SVT will be a very tough decision
With the current inflation in Europe it’s kinda hard to sell stuff for a decent price. Trade market is blooming, just traded my audio interface for a premium microphone.
I can definitely see the merits of the full computer approach of DAW and plugins but I’m resisting it for the moment. I use computers way too much in my professional life and I’m resisting going too far down that rabbit hole in my Bass playing in case it becomes too much like work.
I was just talking about this the other day. I work with servers to pay for my basses, and after dealing with technial computer things all day, I don’t want to do it when I get home. So I am more into pedals, which probably is the smartest thing, but works for me.
As a bedroom bassist who doesn’t work with computers the Helix Stomp is brilliant. Not super complicated for a Luddite like me but packed with amps, pedals that I can try but could never afford to buy.
The Zoom B1 is good but this is head and shoulders above that.
I didn’t know any of this existed, though thinking about it I probably forgot about the Airstep. It looks handy. The XTONE looks like using it with my iPad or iPhone would be a pita of adapters. Right now my iRig HD 2 just plugs into either with a single cable.
I’ll look into them when I’m more able to, today’s been a shitshow of a day
But thank you!
Edit It looks like between the Pro and one of the wireless foot pedals I’d be pretty set… Hmm (or use a wired much cheaper MIDI pedal since it has MIDI In/Out. Getting into Gear Bloat now…)
Hey gang. I was going through my local shop, going through basses on offer, and found “FENDER 1965/66 Jazz Bass CAR Custom Colour Matching Headstock” for 22k USD.
I am not going to buy it. But, I am just curious for whom is an instrument like this? It’s heavily used, so I guess it’s not a great showpiece on a wall. I know a couple of people who are professional musicians and their instruments are in the 3 - 4k $ range. In this case, I am just really curious who would buy an instrument in this shape for such a sum of money?
