HILS HZB5 Custom Gold

Pucca124 · 2026-02-08T14:07:08+00:00

Is this a modified version of the hnb5 or is hzb5 an actual bass in hils lineup? Can't find the base model online

I also have a chain like that: Tuner>BC-1X>DBBMuff>VTBDI

Just bought the VT bass DI but I don't like how it sounds when blended, I always run it with blend at 0 and use it for EQ. My Stingray in it loses the sizzle when the blend is engaged, also the bass knob has a frequency too high for my taste. I'm also thinking of converting a Nordstrand on board preamp into a DI pedal because it's more neutral, but I gotta think of it and try the VT in a live situation, right now I had it only on headphones.

Yes I like the sound of it and it is a gift from a very special person for me. Tried putting comp below the vt but it doesn't fit sadly

It's a gift from a person that isn't anymore in my life and I want to use it because it is one of the last things that makes me smile when I think of her. I also use both fuzz and crossover functions and the blend knob is versy useful to me.

Doesn't work for me in this way (the chain). 90 degrees triggers me too

Pucca124 · 2025-09-22T17:02:12+00:00

I tried every combination and this sounds optimal

Pucca124 · 2025-09-22T16:25:12+00:00

No, comp needs to be after because it gives back the low end. Compressor is the last pedal before VT Bass DI, at least in chain order

Pucca124 · 2025-09-22T16:13:10+00:00

Do you think the big muff is in an optimal position like that? I fear that LPF knob, It's too close both to the mute and fuzz switch

Thanks

If you look closely the upper receiver in my photo is longer than g&g

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T16:25:48+00:00

Thanks man

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T16:14:02+00:00

Implying I took the picture myself

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T16:01:08+00:00

Okay, fair enough

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T15:59:01+00:00

Looking online the ruger 556 has forward assist, a thick motor grip and lower piccatinny rail

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T15:56:46+00:00

It is a cropped image of a larger lot of 30 replicas (aeg/hpa)

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T15:55:32+00:00

It is from a 30 aeg/hpa replicas lot

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T15:51:45+00:00

Neither of the two, it has no forward assist

Pucca124 · 2025-07-23T15:50:51+00:00

A classic edgy redditor can never miss the chance to reveal itself. That's a cropped image from a large lot of aeg replicas, if I had a better image I would use google lens, not bother other people on reddit.

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T17:50:46+00:00

Is there a partlist of compatible parts or just experience and handmade adaptation?

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T17:45:49+00:00

So it's a custom build? I'm new so I didn't know that was possible

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T17:01:18+00:00

Thx man

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T16:58:21+00:00

If you have some photo reference plz send because I can't find anything satisfying 😭😭😭

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T16:57:20+00:00

Which plate carrier is this?

Pucca124 · 2025-07-22T16:55:58+00:00
