Absolute monster.

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.

I hate this pedal with a passion.

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.

Best cheap gig bag.

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.

More players need to hear about this strap!

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).

Well... A mixed bag.

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.

A phaser that goes to 11.

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.

Tricky one.

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:)

A friend.

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.

Workhorse.

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

meerootz

A classic.

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.

Decent practice amp.

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.

meerootz

Great booster.

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).

meerootz

Probably my favourite looper.

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.

meerootz

Phase, phase, phase.

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.

meerootz

Love.

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.

meerootz

Cheap and great!

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.

meerootz

A good, mid priced compressor.

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.

meerootz

Probably best clip tuner.

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

meerootz

Reliable and tank build.

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.

meerootz

Great for travelling.

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".
