I recently bought a beautiful Fender Jazz 75RI from Chris. We met in Glasgow at his band's amazing rehearsal space and we spent a little time playing with the Jazz and a beautiful Stingray he had with a Status neck (remember, if you ever want to move it on, tell me first!!! ) and our BF BB2 cabs... Really nice guy... The Jazz is now called "La 78" even if it's a 75RI, just because I ended up going to a place in Glasgow called "78" for lunch afterwards with the bass. Just so you know. Thanks, Chris!

I recently sold Ross a pair of Jazz pickups... absolutely smooth transaction, as I knew it would be... A while back I bought an EBMM SUB5 from Ross that he even delivered personally in Edinburgh and had the opportunity to meet him. Great guy! Sorry for the late feedback, Ross!

I recently bought Harry's EBS Multicomp pedal... can't be happier. Well, I suppose I could, but the transaction went smooth and everything was great, that's what I meant. Thank you!

I recently sold Ambient my MB LMIII head... smooth transaction, no problem. Thank you, Ian!

I recently bought Dan's Wizard 84 pickups. I haven't installed them yet, but I'm sure they're fine Great communication and quick delivery, yay!

I recently bought Harry's MB LMT800 amp. A real pleasure, nice communication, excellent packaging job and fast shipping... Thank you Harry!

David recently bought my BBE OptoStomp pedal. Absolutely smooth transaction, he came to collect the pedal in person. I hope you like the pedal! Thank you!

I recently bought Andy's GB Streamliner 900 amp. I can't be happier with the transaction. Really helpful, great communication, he packaged the amp really well and posted it in a record time, keeping me informed of every step. Two thumbs up, and the two big toes as well!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1406703284' post='2513810'] The damping is easy if you play the F on the D string. [/quote] of course there are ways around it but... it's sooo easy to detune the E string and sooo easy to play that riff and similar others using a pedal low D note... I've been playing my 5-string Lakland more recently, and soem things I'd normally detune the E string for can be played standard on the 5er, no doubt... but some are just awkward and/or just don't sound "right" when not using the open string. So I'd use a 5er standard if I had to, but given any opportunity, I'd even detune the E on the 5er for those songs. Call me lazy but I think i...

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1406530465' post='2512077'] how long does it take to tune one string? [/quote] no time at all with a Hipshot Bass X-tender I regularly have to switch between D and E and a Hipshot thingy is just tremendously useful.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1406461549' post='2511593'] So … try them both and pick the one that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. For me, the Ray always wins in this test - and I say this as someone who owns a Sandberg (a JM4, not a Basic) and loves it. The Sandberg looks great, plays great and sounds great, but every time I plug in the Ray I get the same "[i]Whoah,[/i] [i]f**k yeah[/i]!' thrill that no other bass seems to be able to deliver. [/quote] ha! indeed! I take a break from time to time, and whenever I go back to the Stingray I get that "[i]Whoah,[/i] [i]f**k yeah[/i]!" feeling

I have been trying a bunch of envelope filters over the past couple of years, and the Aguilar has resisted... until today. I have owned a few of the usual suspects: DOD FX25, 3Leaf Proton, MXR BOD, Source Audio BEF and BEF Pro, various Boss and others. Some better than others, in my opinion. Except for the MXR, I think I liked every other pedal a little bit. But Lately I only had the Source Audio BEF, all others were gone. Now, a Filter Twin appeared for sale, and I went for it... and I'm liking it a LOT. It's the first Aguilar pedal I really like too I didn't get along with their Agro and Octamizer pedals, but this one is just simple and it sounds good no matter what I do. The sweep perhaps could be a bit more pronounced, but whatever, it sounds really really good. I like what adding the second down filter does to the sound... Why did I wait so long? I love the BEF, but the large footprint makes it a bit of a pain sometimes. The Filter Twin will do the job nicely in a smaller package. And it plays really well with overdrive/fuzz... Now I want a Jazz bass in the same colour as the pedal

It's a very nice inexpensive wah, I can't imagine why Ibanez would discontinue it.
