awesome can you do a tutorial for us mortals? thanks. even just a chord chart would be great

Thank you so much for this video! I've just recently begun to try to understand MIDI stuff, having just bought a BlueBoard and gotten into BandHelper...Your video helped me finally begin to make some progress. Thanks again!

Steinberger, Steinberg sells you Software

Amazing!

Aye yi yeah!!!💪🎵🤘

Will this fit a Flying V guitar?

Are you still happy with this mixer? Did you have to go with something larger at a later time? It seems like it could be perfect.

How are the xvives? Any dropouts on stage? Just picked some up and would love an honest real world review!

good bass hohner headless bass.

Great video - thanks. I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I was originally using a macbook pro with Garage Band - and taking the headphone out straight into a mixer. This actually works quite well, quick and easy - but I was suffering from a number of 'freezes' - where the 12 Step would just freeze on a note mid song, or when I come to a few songs after not it not being used the buttons would light up but no sound would happen - meaning a re-start of the 12-Step. But not wanting to lug a £2k laptop about in some dodgy venues I've now got an ipad. Again using Garage Band for now. I'm in a covers band so one sound doens't fit everything - so I've set up sounds for individual songs and just change them on the ipad before starting - Ipad Garageband isn't as easy to use as the Macbook doing this in how it arranges the tracks so I'm looking to perhaps get Logic Pro - but great suggestion for Sunrizer, I'll look into it. I've also made a tray for my 'cheat-sheets' that go under the 12 Step - these are sheets of paper that tell me my chord settings for each song on the 12-step. I've also made a wooded surround for the power input socket as someone stood on it during a gig and snapped the connections off inside - the block now stops the play in the power connection. I need to do a video of my set-up 😄

Is it posible to have the "front of the house" mix sent to the monitor? - I'm ajusting the front mix from my position on the stage, and need to be able to monitor til main output 1 to 1 from the monitor.

Thanks for your help

Thank you for this man this really helps me in a band where the singer needs to do Eb tuning for about half our set and E tuning for the other

Thank for this. Looking to use this system for Helix only and live gigs. Did you ever try it like that?

Thankyou. I love acoustic covers of Rock and roll. A request- anything by Alice in chains , please. Keep rocking.

Small beast🙂💪

For all of the lil fighters!!!! For the Children!!! 🙏🔥🙏

I keep coming back to this again and again whenever I forget how to use midi - it's a lifesaver! Must have watched it 20 times. Thanks.

To start, that is a very nice bass. Yamaha is the best kept secret in bass. It is odd how it distorts in passive and cleans its act up in active. Could it be the amp,s reaction to the pickup? Does the preamp compress? The org pickups sound better in passive mode but also good active. The sheehan set, while distorted and messy when passive, sound remarkable active. The grind and presence is amazing. I am considering the J set. Thank you for this straightforward and well done video. I like how you get to the point, good job.

Had a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V that was terrific and I couldn’t bond with it. Listed my needs and wants in hopes a Fender would cut it. Yamaha BB735A checked every box and does it for less than $1K shipped with a gig bag. In all honesty the BB735A is all any bassist would ever need. If you want a 4, you just heard the 734. It’s as fine sounding as the high dollar examples. Vid was well done and would be extremely helpful to those who are deciding which way to go. I’ve played Fender mainly for 50 years. The Yamaha replaced the expensive 5 and quickly replaced my No.1. The Yamaha BB735A is now my go to for any gig.

Thanks dude!

That was awesome

Jani will never get enough credit for what an amazing songwriter he was...and live his voice was always spot on.

Yep, a really useful tonal demo, for sure. Thanks for playing at a tempo and with note lengths that expose the growly characteristics of both PuPs. I swear the middle has enough bark to allow you to get enough bridge-like attack, without routing out a P-Bass, yet it is still musical and quite adaptable to the classic lower- output P- sound. What a surprise that the neck isn't muddy! I would not have guessed! Thanks!

Great basses. You’re wrong about the LTD2 neck attachement though : it has 4 bolts and is VERY sturdy. Just take the pickguard and the neck pickup off and you’ll see ;-)

Hi! What if I already use Midi In for a Midi footswitch? Is there a way to have a both, like a daisychain? Thank you very much.

Loved the shot at the other guitarist without the Helix. LMFAO🤣

I’ll spend the extra money for a Japanese made P34 through a Yamaha owned Ampeg amp!

fantastic, absolutely beautiful instruments.

Superb!!! Thank you!!

Wow! Awesome video. Thank you mate.

Great in depth review. I recently picked up my 1st Yamaha bass after 52 yrs w/ Fenders. I chose the BB434 because I prefer passive and it was light at 8.0 lbs. I love everything about it, especially the neck and pups. If I do change anything I may have the frets filed down some and re-crowned, I'm used to vintage small frets, but these sure do the job so maybe not ! I have to say I think this is the best value bass your money can buy...total pro bass. It's beautiful and balances perfectly.

Would be good to know if there’s a Helix Native version. That way you don’t even need to take the units out to the gig. Just a laptop 😊

The Attitude II from memory wasn't nearly as expensive as the Attitude III - those things are mega bucks!

So you’re not using any external cross over unit?

Using my helix floor. Can I use the pro designer to adjust levels on the output block?

Wow great vid,

This looks like a great solution for my Helix LT. I am currently connected via usb and a surface pro tablet running windows. This gets rid of the cables! Here is my question: How do I find out if the HELIX Floor/LT/Rack Wireless MIDI Controller will also run on an IPhone?

Awesome info. Thanks for sharing.

I just received a DiMarzio DP 295N 'Relentless' neck bass humbucker pup for a homebuilt custom bass that I'm completing. I ordered it from Muziker UK, but it took ages to come and was shipped UPS from Croatia. They advertise it incorrectly as 'White' but this is a mistake as the nickel one has a white background and the reflections in the only photo of it make the pickup look white, it is nickel. They are comparable to the DP120 Model One (for the short-scale SG bass at the neck) but are much more modern, have much higher output, are potted and are specifically designed to be used in Billy's two-channel configuration at the neck to be mixed in or across two amps, covering the bass frequencies. DiMarzio has done zero marketing on this one and their website is notoriously underdeveloped, and full of missing information on this and many other pups. These are currently (July 2022) really hard to get. However, if you are building a dual channel (Billy Sheehan-style) bass then as a neck pickup, in combination with a good middle or bridge (I'm using Seymour SJB-3 Quarter pounder singles at mid and bridge) they are unmatched, as there doesn't seem to be anything else that would beat there frequencies response and output. They are a VERY specific use case though. Can't be used on their own as they only cover extreme bass frequencies and have very high output, especially for that role. I have to say, this neck pickup is built like an absolute tank and very heavy. I'm yet to test it in my homebuilt bass as not yet assembled, so I may well do a video on it at some point as there is barely any information on these pups and they are so interesting. I suspect they were made as an agreement with Billy Sheehan to produce both the P-style middle and a neck 'Relentless' set. However, as this fantastic video shows, they can't be dropped straight into Billy's premium signature basses as a replacement without routing them out, and Yamaha probably don't want people doing that. So, I suspect there's some politics between Yamaha and DiMarzio around this pickup powerhouse neck humbucker and hence the lack of marketing from DiMarzio. But WOW, what a unique gem of a pickup if you're building a dual channel passive bass!!!

excellent job!

Hi. Just about the poor video quality...360p Would have been far better at least in 1080p60 or in 4K ! Nice playing though

Great track, love it!!

hello, i’m looking for something like this for my band, we need it for in-ear monitoring. we are 5 piece band, so i have a question - is it possible to get 5 stereo mixes for in-ears from this thing?

4:15 first Yamaha 6:44 second 8:55 third 11:59 bb bass 15:14 second Yamaha bb bass

Great instruments, bad set up....GET RID OF THE "FRIZZ"!

Nice one 👍

I was trying to solve this exact problem - thanks. I do run the wet signal into a mixer and had to create an aggregate audio device on my mac to record both wet and dry in logic but that was the only addition I needed to make.
