    Does this bass DI sound off?

    Active pickups in bass are very rare, limited to just a small handful from EMG basically. Your bass has passive pickups and an active preamp.

    Nightmare NBD - Dingwall NG3

    That kind of fretwear is 100% normal on (used) Dingwalls, FYI. In fact, it's pretty normal on multi-scale basses as a whole. It was a big "controversy" when more people started getting into them and thought it was a problem. Lots of hot heads from owners, and multiple people (Sheldon Dingwall...

    It's been awhile, bass frens

    AX8, HS8's and bass for home practice?

    AX8, HS8's and bass for home practice?

    Ah, you had periphery in there at first before the edit :). The others are yeah, pretty much B standard or in the case of Meshuggah, tuned up half step from standard even. You should be fine to push pretty good volume with that... just listen for speaker distress mostly, which will come on the...

    AX8, HS8's and bass for home practice?

    Comes down the volume you're wanting to push, as well as the general tone you want (I know you mentioned the grindy type of playing, but, you could still end up wanting to push a ton of low content, especially if you downtune to F# or similar, which will tax studio monitors greatly). I have used...

    Yeah. I want either an FM3 or an AFIII, but, I honestly can't justify either at this point, without there being a lot more bass-focused additions. Not going to drop thousands on it for what appears to be very little (plus, if I want the IRs, I can load those in my AX8 or AFIImkII). And yes, to...

    Powered FRFR Cabinet for Bass?

    You don't need fundametal at all on low E or B. Most of what you actually hear are the 2nd harmonic and up. Unless you are in like a reggae band where that big, billowy, bloomy phatness is your thing... but even then, you want the PA to handle that and your on-stage monitor to just let you play...

    Powered FRFR Cabinet for Bass?

    Honestly, the K12 (especially if it's v2) is a pretty solid choice for bass. I use one for my projects (AX8 live mostly), going clear down to F# tuning without any real issues. It's not "FRFR", but, that's a tall ask for bass production considering the range involved.

    BassGearMag AX8 and Helix comparison

    I'm not seeing how that's the case. You have to take a device to be able to have a great UX with an AX8. You don't with the Helix. It doesn't matter if it's a laptop or an iPad, it's one more thing to carry around, hook up, keep updated etc. And it's 3rd party too. Agree with all of this. I...

    Sorry, I should've been a touch more clear -- I don't mean the tuner (it does track down to F# fine), I mean when using the pitch block. Anything under E is flaky at best, and under C (B string, 2nd fret) does not track on any of my basses at all.

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Bonkers bass cabs are THE best for bass in Fractal gear, bar none. 3Sigma had some good momentum and had some pretty OK cabs too, but Bonkers are where it's at.

    Axe-Fx + Wal = pretty dang good match

    Thanks haha. One point of clarification - I don't own this Wal, but it's on a very long term loan. I should have it for quite a few months for a couple specific projects... and it (along with another arsenal of basses) are available to me due to some connections I have. Now, everything else in...

    Axe-Fx + Wal = pretty dang good match

    Another one - this one in one take and from memory (in other words: sloppy and probably wrong in spots) Having this Wal here, especially with the Axe-Fx II preset I made really makes me want to start/join a TOOL tribute xD

    Going to be putting my AX8 setup in front of a lot of bassists today

    Check it out over here, I posted a short clip and a photo: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-wal-pretty-dang-good-match.126990/ It's a Mk 2 I believe from the 80s. Used value in the $6k+ range, new would be $7k+, and a 2 year wait. The electronics are really key in Wals. It's truly...

    Axe-Fx + Wal = pretty dang good match

    So, this found its way into my studio: A Mk 2 5 string Wal. I don't even think I really need to say more to my bass brethern - you know these basses. Anyway, since it's here, and I'm here, and my Axe-Fx II is permanently here racked up for recording while I work on the sound treatment in my...

    Going to be putting my AX8 setup in front of a lot of bassists today

    Try to be... but at the same time, there's plenty of times where I am just truthful with the current state of how things are, and well, it turns quite a few cats away. /shrug. I just wish that wasn't the case, especially when I have the attention of dozens of bass players like I did yesterday.

    Going to be putting my AX8 setup in front of a lot of bassists today

    A lot of fun was had - I got to play some gear, but as emcee, not much. Mostly stayed near my area, showing everyone my new Dingwall and AX8 setup. Ended up just about 80 people coming through in total. Loads of questions, and a lot of people interested in getting more details and such, so...

    Going to be putting my AX8 setup in front of a lot of bassists today

    I host the annual Emerald City Bass Convention (http://ecbasscon.org), and today is the day for it this year. I'll be taking my AX8 setup and putting it in front of anywhere from 75 - 150 bass players specifically. I have a bit of a demo planned to go through in front of everyone, and then...

    Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

    That's a B7K. The pedal we were "promised", then "un-promised", then "maybe promised" to have modeled. It's a pedal I mostly can't live without in two of my three bands, so it has a permanent spot on the pedal board. The cable actually isn't XLR, it's just a standard 1/4" mono cable. Mogami...

    Cliff, Matt, et. al - A Serious Offer

    I know what video you're talking about, and it's not even close. I keep my B7K on the pedal board, and try to dial in drive+GEQ blocks to get it, and I can get probably about 80% of the way there, that's about it. I waste probably an hour each new firmware on my Axe-Fx II and AX8, and never get...
