More empty promises, increasingly incredible excuses and lack of communication from IR. After over a year and a half of no answers to emails, I was told on 8th November that my bass would “be ready in four weeks”. Have I been contacted? Of course I haven’t. I certainly don’t want to kick people while they are down, if that’s genuinely the case but after nearly three years of excuses coupled with radio silence (even pre-Covid) my patience has worn thin. I’m ready to call BS on this whole operation and demand my money back, if I don’t get hard evidence that this supposed bass of mine even exists. I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone else place an order until this farce of a situation has been sorted out. Wouldn’t want anyone else to get burned. They are quoting 8-month build times to prospective new customers while nothing appears to be getting done on outstanding orders. I don’t want to be a d**k about this, but communication is everything if you’re going to run a business and in this instance it is incredibly lacking.

Used Knightfall in my local. The Tarkin has gone: https://richtonemusic.co.uk/cog-effects-knightfall-66-2nd-hand/

And I cracked!

Tempted but holding out for the T-47.

Finally got around to getting a whammy-type thing going on the C4. It’s not as straightforward as it could have been but with some cool MIDIUM features, I managed it. https://on.soundcloud.com/Ms9AmUN2RMSnqC4J8 https://on.soundcloud.com/NEqf4wtwgHvqA6hu8

Been on a mega Scary Pockets binge. Lots of good candidates from these amazing musicians.

The extra cost easily justifies itself. Buy used for less. The Morningstar stuff holds its resale value. The midiBeam won’t. Truly, I’d recommend waiting and getting the MS. If you don’t get into it, you won’t lose much, if anything.

No, afraid not. I sold my MC6 shortly after I bought it because the MC8 came out and I wanted more buttons. I sold my MC8 recently as I am beta testing the MC6 Pro now and its extended functionality means I don’t miss the extra two buttons much. You can pick up a used MC6 (or the cheaper MC3) if you look around. There is an MS Facebook group and they come up there.

I have no idea, I only ever powered it directly from the mains or my PC during testing. There are folks who use powered USB hubs on their boards and I guess you could power it from something like that. It’s a bit of an oversight that it can’t be directly powered via standard 9V supplies. Another reason I’d rather recommend the Morningstar stuff.

Thank you. I’ll forward that pic to Jon - he has a keener eye than I.

Thanks. Is it perhaps better to line the straight edge of the ruler against the the slopes vertical line of the letter (at the same angle) and measure that length?

Thanks. I’m specifically looking for the larger early 70s decal though.

That’s a shame. It was great and fairly local to you I guess (more so than to me at least).

Ah, wasn’t sure where you were. I tagged you on the basis that you’d been to a gig there before, that you may have been into this and thought maybe you were more local to the venue.

It’s not so much the housing size but the control method. Have patience, cool stuff is coming.

Thanks. However, I don’t need anyone to produce it for me as I’ve already done the template myself, I just need the original measurement so that Jon can print mine at the correct size.

That’s exactly what I meant. Thank you. Can any other users verify this? Just want to get a couple of data points to be certain in case there’s variation.
