Thanks
Aesthetically wasn’t really my first choice, I have to say, but it had virtually all I wanted for a very reasonable price and generally good reviews. But now I’m starting to dig the look too
I am still figuring out the “playing” part, I cannot say much for sure. The TRBX504 I tested at the shop was ofc different due to the 4 strings instead of 5. There are some obvious coordination issues, but so far I like the neck on this.
On top of that it weights at least one kg less than the HB Jazz copy, shoulders and back already appreciate it
Realized I did not answer this.
I am looking at a high hat and kick foot pedal but the ‘good ones’ are ~$300ish a pop, so want to see if that is a thing I find myself missing before buying it.
I like the color assignment, it really helps on a dark stage. The one thing I love about Alesis is how they love to stuff their instruments with features. In the case of a multi pad it’s a big huge plus. Although, I’m interested to see if you’d miss the pad and hit the button at the bottom sometimes. It is in the line if fire, lol.
I love my Roland spd30 but it seems to have half the features at more than twice the price.
Same here, I think this is a good compromise for sure.
I think a kick would make sense first as your arms are generally doing other things but that means coordination that I might not have, lol.
Canada. I bought it used from Japan on Ebay and paid zero import taxes plus free shipping. Sometimes you get lucky. But most of time with used gear I haven’t been charged.
New gear pretty much every time.
That thing is amazing for the size. 6 AA batteries and I was jamming on my back deck.
Nice range of inbuilt amp sound and effects.
A big thumbs up from me. There are lots of iterations so make sure you’re looking at the Bass cube version.
Yeah, I haven’t played drums in years, but I used to play the kick with my foot On the other hand, most of the demos I have seen of the Alesis show them playing pretty much everything with sticks (there are a few who use pedals, though). So, I guess it’s all about getting used to playing a bit differently then “standard” (especially when pedals are 300 bucks a pop )
Truth be told, for pure expressive freedom, a hi-hat pedal might be more interesting than a kick pedal.
hey @Barney, could you speak more about the Bass Micro Cube ? actually that’s something that could interest me. How about the effective power in pure clean tone ? would it be enough to play with a (relatively loud) dreadnough pick-played acoustic guitar, and a (relatively loud) singer ?
