I love those yellow cabs

I know, right?!

As a guitarist learning to also be a bassist, I thought the Helix was the way to go. So excited to dig in.

Me too, only second to Orange Amps, as far as looks goes.

I believe it was 800 Gigawatts, but still funny

One more step on my journey to the Dark side.
Golden Plexi out
Bass Big Muff Pi in.

Lots to play with on this, sounds great and incredible value for money.

There are two EHX pedals that I think are the best in their class, especially for anywhere near their price - The Bass Big Muff is just a great pedal for both deep fuzz and also even just adding a little muscle to tone; and the Bass Clone is (IMO) one of the best sounding bass chorus pedals out there. I like it even better than everyone’s local favorite (the Julia), and it’s way cheaper.

You know I’m going to have to look at those now don’t you @howard

Paul · June 25, 2021, 11:13am

Every bass player should have owned a EHX Bass Big Muff imho

Ok the wife started complaining about the noise, so I bought a Vox guitar amp

JPHaggerty · June 25, 2021, 9:05pm

Which one is going to get me closest to Think For Yourself? It’s one of my ‘goal’ songs…

Well after saying a whole bunch of nice things about my Jaguar, I think I will return. It has a problem with the split pickup, which is two of the screws keep coming loose and I’m constantly fiddling with the setup. I’m nearing the end of my 45 day grace window.

Also GC is doing a 48 month promotion on Fender with no interest right now. So I went and bought an Aerodyne, and will do an exchange this weekend I hope. Thought hard on a boxer.

Moving on up.

And money wise it’s a wash. Cool beans

John_E · June 25, 2021, 10:15pm

Damn another Aerodyne getter! So jealous.

JPHaggerty · June 25, 2021, 10:43pm

OMG - I use that expression ALL THE TIME (and I’m old!) Cool beans!

Wombat-metal · June 25, 2021, 11:12pm

I just saw your new bass. Talk about jealous…lulz

HowlinDawg · June 26, 2021, 12:14am

Damn, sorry to hear you’re having issues with the Jag. I think they look great in the black and ebony finish.

If they were on sale this side of the pond I’d be looking very seriously at one as an upgrade to my Classic Vibe Jag.

One word @Wombat-metal …… Ray4
That was my best @T_dub impression by the way
