spikey Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Thanks SD- I do lots of repairs (fret dressing and polishing too) and adjustments on guitars, but never a bass. So I appreciate the info on the strings. I had no idea lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 OK I all fired up now- with new bass and now a Fender Rumble 200 watt combo with an Effects loop, 3 band eq, XLR line out, overdrive and a 15" speaker! Im thinking of many ways to use this- like effects return from Helix for one, or XLR line out into my Apollo and use THIS !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hefonthefjords Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I had my Helix out on it's first ever gig on Saturday, playing bass as that just happened to be the first show that came up since I got it.Was great. Sounded ace. We had a bunch of covers in the set (it was a party) and I had all the right sounds for each track. Was ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philslinkee Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I bought the Helix LT, hoping it would be good for Bass ( a bit of a gamble, I admit) - I am not disappointed ! - it is fantastic. Accidentally discovered the 'Woody Blue' Amp model, which is apparently modelled on the Acoustic 360 (famously used by Jaco Pastorius & Flea). I now have 2 paths one with the SVT Nrm, one with Valve Driver distortion & Woody Blue Amp+Cab - absolutely amazing sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueD Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I did get a couple of good bass patches set up for a couple of Muse tunes we do, Hysteria and Time Is Running Out. Would you share how you set up your Hysteria patch? I have no idea where I can start with that one but I would like to learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varmonter Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I found an ir on 3 sigma that is of some 17th century bull fiddle. I use it on my stomp for my fretless p bass and really like the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I found a 17th century bull fiddle in our back yard yesterday. Sucker attacked me and nearly took off my foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugghaid Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 On 4/17/2016 at 11:48 AM, fretmeister said: I would love to see models of the Darkglass bass pedals coming. It has the BK-7 (obsidisan 7000) which works fantastic for bass. I would like to see the Alpha Omega and Vintage Microtubes as well. But if you dial them in the Minotaur sounds great as does the Clawthorn if you like a fat fuzzy distortion. Lots of great bass tones. also the Woody Blue amp model is very good for a platform to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bees_knees22 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I love my helix for bass. It's the best thing since sliced bread. Sounds great with either my 2014 Jaguar bass or my Sterling bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
