This one is a surprice. I was looking for a short scale for sometime. Easier to travel, lighter, you get the drill. I've came across LowEndLobsters review of this bass and I was blown away, so I decided to buy one. Next thing you know, it bacame my main bass, I used it in studio, live. it became my main go to instrument. It sounds loke a beefed up precision, and it cuts through the mix like a burning knife! It's a sleeper. If you a precision guy, just buy one, you'll not regret that decision. The neck is one of the smoothest and fastest I've ever played. I just love this instrument sooooo much.

Probably my favourite classic bass ever. From the humble beginnings I always dreamt of one and when I finally got one in 2014 and it subverted my expectations! It's the instrument that really cuts through the mix and just slays in the concert environment. It's always in tune and performes great in many different alternative/dropped tunings. I just can't stop playing on it, even after almost 10 years.

My personal experience with this instrument is 5/5, but I acknowledge it can be rated lower by some people. I'm mainly a bass player. So when that's out of the way, let me tell You about the Upswing. It's very quality build, nice features and looks amazing, it's also one (if not the only - I'm not sure) of the "electric uprights" that You can use a bow on. Does it sound like an upright? No. Does it work? Yes. Can You travel with it light? Yes. Can it be used as a practice/gig substitute for a double bass. Yes, I certtinly do! How does it work in studio? I'll let You know:)

I was one of those die hard tube amp guys. Always carrying my heavy, gargantuar vintage rig and insisting to be micked up instead of a DI Box. "The tube sound was superior to transistor, etc." And one day it just came to me, I've sold my vintage stuff and bought this amp, as MarkBass was always held in high regard. And... Poof! For the first time I was able to pack all the things to a car without taking a sweat. At the rehersal I had enough power hear every little niuance in my sound. And later that night at the gig the sound guy just plugged a cable in the back of the head, there were no mic problems, etc. From that moment I've never looked back. Little Mark Tube 800 is here to stay. The head itself sounds dope and greatly enhances the instrument you play. It is very versetile and the combination of VLE and VPF knobs can get you some interesting sound.

Probably an amp I had the longest. It's cheap, very light, quite loud and easy to transport. I use it mostly for home practice and/or micro acoustic bar gigs. It's ok. It has an external speaker, so You can plug another cab when You're running out of power. Never really got into the whole "TonePrint" stuff.

It's bright, punchy and extremely powerful. It can handle it's own loudwise in most if not all situations. Light weight and a compact size are the deal breakers here. After buying it I understood the "2x12 are the new 4x12".

It is almost foolproof and indestructible, easy to mount to your pedalboard and the slots are transparent. I've been using one for 5 years now and never had any problem with it.

One thing that I still use despite all the newer alternatives. The newer ones didn't stick with me - and I HATED the Tc Electronic Ditto x4 (hated it so much) so I went back to the RC-30. Why only 4 stars not 5? It can be somewhat not intuitive for new users and sometimes after a break I have to re-learn it.

One of those effects I bought because I needed for a one time job and... I fell in love with this little guy! It sounds great, it's small, it's here to stay. Probably the best autowah within this price range.

And it tunes really, really well. The display is bright and easy to see. And the added BonaFide Buffer is a great bonus.

I'm a simple guy, when something does the work done I approve. The M6 PRO sure fit in this category. And the price...

I had the 1st gen. Worked it to death. Bought the 2nd gen. Will work it to death. When the 3rd gen comes out... I'll be waiting.

It is quite good, but can have problems with lower tunings and/or the B string. Still other clip-ons that I had were way worse. The display is big and bright

Are You playing for long hours? Standing on a gig? Your back hurt? Well it will be, but it can make it a little better! Just bought my second one it really manages to make your bass seem lighter. (For the record I can't tell a difference between this model and recoil 2.5 - so just buy the cheaper version, they're almost the same).

I've bought this case in December 2020 and I've been using it extensively since then. I've traveled a lot with it by train, car, etc. The Bass inside was ALWAYS safe. Why 3/5 then? First of all it should be 3,5/5. Now let me tell you about the cons of this thing: -The backpack straps snapped after about a year - the case hit the floor - the bass was safe, but the head I was carrying in ample storage was damaged. -You have to remove the wheels to comfortably wear it on your back. -The wheels are much to small and hard. It's really unstable, shaky and loud as hell. Bought it as an ultimate case, now I only use it when I'm sure i don't hve to do a lot of walking afterwards. It gets the job of protecting Your insturment well, but the other features are just... Not there.

It's great. Light, well made and durable. Con: the pocket could be a little bigger - if You still use sheets on paper (A4) it will not fit.

1951, eh? And this one still reigns supreme? PBass is love. PBass is life. PBasses are like bread. You don't have to like it, but You have to acknowledge its place in the world.

I hate it so much... First of all if you don't have another pedal with a midi clock, don't even waste your money on it. I used to play in a two piece band with a looper (bass+vocals) and used the Boss RC-30 without ANY problems for a very long time. Finally I've swithet to this, bacause everybody seemed to use it and my experience with it was the worst ever. First of all no metter how hard I tried I coudn't meka the loop seem straight. The loops were seemingly shorter every replay and the pedal glitched (even after the software update), one time it glithed and reseted in a live situation. And the fact the loops were never straight drove me almost to a depressive state of self-doubt. It is possible I just coudn't make it work. It is just my subjective opinion, but: I hate, hate, hate it.

It gets the job done. It adds some sound what can be bad for some people (that's why I've give it 4, not 5 stars), I really like the characteristics of it, and never turn it off.

Want an phaser that goes to 11? DOD Phasor 201 can go to 13. One minus is that they use a different than standard 9v DC cable.

Sometime ago I was hired as a fill in bassists for a rock band. I didn't have an overdrive pedal at the time so I went to a local store and the clerk suggested The Ultimate Drive. He said it's basically the copy of the OCD and it's really cheap, so I bought it. When I was about to leave he also hinted to plug it with 18 V, just like the original OCD. And so I did. I still have it and still use it somewhat regularly. Somday might update it to the OCD, but... The Joyo JF-02 probably is the Ultimate Cheap Overdrive.

Can't go wrong with that one. It just sounds great. The only real issue I have with it is the auto-return switching - and what I mean with that is, the added sound when the pedal adjusts to the beginning position, when not timed right it can really mess up the line BUT when you know it you can avoid it. Still a solid build, solid sounding, classic bass pedal.

Easy and reliable. Why 4 stars? It has a certain "colour" to it, which makes it not fully transparent. Personally i love it (5/5).

I was a bit sceptical at first. Now? I just don't leave home without it. Versatile, light weight with amazing sound. The legends were true.

I just love this pedal. Sure you can't use it all the time... But it can create wonderful colors. I use it on bass in acoustic trios, and rock bands. WARNING! It's addictive.
