  1. Up for sale is my much loved DI 2112. For those unaware, essentially it is two SansAmp RPM preamps being run in parallel: the "Deep" and the "Drive". Deep is preset to a solid thick clean sound (with a saturation control), and the Drive section is the full RPM preamp. This then feeds 5 outputs (Deep XLR, Deep 1/4", Drive XLR, Drive 1/4", 1 pass through/tuner out) giving lots of routing options. You can also combine the two sections within the pedal via a little switch accessible through the battery compartment (it runs off of 2 x 9v, or an 18v DC input - not included). It's a really versatile preamp, not just for Geddy style rush sounds - one of my favourite sounds is to set the Drive section to be "mids only" - kill the bass and treble, push the mids and the drive to give a really creamy mid-range, but still leaving the clarity from the Deep section. There are also various switches (mute, pad etc.), but the best is the "tight" switch, which just turns the drive into a super focused sound. So why am I selling given how good this is? I've moved to a Quad Cortex setup, and as much as I love running this in parallel I just can't justify it. I've also go another little one on the way, and I could do with the extra cash! It's in near perfect condition (other than the velcro on the bottom, which I can remove if you like), with the original box. I can post for an additional £10, or collection from East Grinstead.
  2. These are phenomenal bits of kit; I remember when they were must-haves for pretty much any studio
  3. Hmm, now I don't feel so confident saying that the PMT video was entirely the fault of Dagan. It sounds better here, but still has the "I'm playing through my friends broken Carlsbro amp" sound. **edit** I take that back, I've just had a watch again of the Ashdown video and I don't think it sounds bad, just not my go-to drive/overdrive sound **edit** Maybe it's simply not my sort of drive.
  4. I had an audition with a band who's singer had come from musical theatre and wanted to branch out into function gigs. I have never met anyone more musically oblivious. Every song required MJ style ad-libs, counted us in with completely arbitrary speeds (and he had to count us in, couldn't possibly let the drummer do it) to the extent he wants Higher Ground at about 250bpm and looked at me funny when I started it at the speed he counted in, and could not learn lyrics to save his life. The cherry on top was playing "Suck My Kiss" where he rattled through the lyrics without taking a breath, somehow finishing the song before the band had gotten through the first chorus! He then proceeded to look at us like "what are you guys doing, the song is over?" as we continued through the rest of the song. Suffice to say I declined to join.
  5. I probably haven't played my Warwick Thumb in a gig or studio setting for over 10 years. It was a gift from my late father, and my first professional instrument so I'm never getting rid of it; I just don't click with it like I used to
  6. The LMII is one of my favourite amps of all time, pity I already have one! Glwts
  7. D'Addario do a gig backpack, but it isn't cheap: https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/backline-cases/backline-transport-pack/
  8. These sound fantastic, if I had another jazz bass I would pick this up in a second, glwts
  9. I used to strive for that super clean sound, but discovered the best clean sound in the mix (for me) was slightly furry(?), or hairy. Slightly overdriven, but the distortion gets lost in the mix, so instead it just sounds warm and rounds off the edge of "sparkly clean".
  10. Given the absurd cost of pedals recently (see: Tech21 XB Driver @£599), that somehow doesn't feel too horrible
