    I've had this for a few years and not really used it much, and with life about to get more expensive I can't justify keeping it. These are very hard to come by (hence the price), and it doesn't look like Spencer is going to be building them again any time soon. It's definitely one of the most malleable filters out there, with lots of controls for attack, decay, response etc, plus the FX loop. I don't have the original box, only the Wonderlove box it had when I bought it, but it does have the original instructions. Reduced to £800 Price includes insured delivery.

    Thank you! The Fifteen hasn’t had a negative impact on the Octabvre to my ears. It tames the low low end, but it still sounds like and octave, and you can turn it off, or only have it on when the pedal is active.

    https://bassbros.co.uk/product/jaydee-series-4-roadie-ii/ There you go! Almost suspicious seeing a Jaydee at that price...

    Thought I'd found my board's final form, but then the Bassrig Fifteen dropped, I realised I have no need for two drives, and I decided I preferred the Julia over the Analog.Man (probably going to sell it if anyone's interested). It does leave one loop empty, but it'll be a guest loop or.... something.

    I've been lurking here ever since the Bassrig Fifteen was released. I pulled the trigger on Thursday morning and it arrived Yesterday (Saturday), finally got to spend time with it today. The EQ controls are very interesting. They seem to interact with each other, so I feel like I'm still getting to grips with how to dial in a sound. However, I have managed to get a very nice sound with my Wilcock. I've only used a B15 once for recording, so I can't speak with much authority to its accuracy, but I am liking what I'm hearing.

    I did consider one of these instead of a Gigrig quartermaster, but they takeup more space depth-wise. Interested to see the new layout👀

    It's been interesting reading everyone's experiences. All a little different, but also very similar. Certainly helps me feel more comfortable taking time off, and hopeful about the outcome.

    Mine came with D'Addarios, but I changed them to LaBellas a few months after getting it. I have nylons on my JMJ and love the sound. Though being plastic if there's a ground loop, touching the strings doesn't eliminate the hum.

    not surprised at all you're enjoying it! Viv makes some of the best basses in the UK. The real trick is being happy with just one! Interesting you mention the HPF. I have one on my Noble and I use it with all my basses except my Mullarkey. With the Serek and JMJ it does as you say, takes away the mud and makes it sit nicer in the mix. With my Mullarkey it made it took away too much low end, making it sounds thin. I wonder if the difference is in the basses, the HPFs or our ears?

    Please tell me you use this with a wedding band for Mr Brightside etc

    I'm kind of hoping for this: having a sense of what I actually want to do on the instrument. I've been practicing technique pretty hard for the last 18 months. Its been great learning how to learn, but its not quite music is it... I've met a few dads with the same story!

    If this happens for me I'll be happy.... I hope!

    I've been playing for almost 25 years now, and gigging regularly for 15 of those, largely in covers bands with a few originals. Five years ago I qualified as a teacher and have been full time for two, all the while doing gigs on the side. This last August I did my last wedding (sort of... I booked one next June because it was 20 minutes from my house and I finish at 9pm!) because its too much working full time, gigging most weekends and being married. Income was the main reason I played, both gigs and practice, but with a full time and very reliable job (feeling very grateful amongst all these layoffs), I've felt at a bit of a loss as to why I play. So, in discussion with my wife I decided to take a month off playing to reset and see what happens at the other side. I've not burned any bridges. I still have 3 bands on the go (one is gigging at the end of the month), but I want to see what kind of motivation is left with now money isn't one of them. Anyone else taken time out from playing? Did it change how you felt about playing or why you played?

    I bought a One10 WIDE, so I have one for small gigs, Three10 for medium or bigger gigs (if there's good monitoring) and effectively a 4x10 if I really want to blast it. The Three10 has a relatively small footprint, hardly bigger than your average 1x12 cab.

    Admirably! Mine never struggles.
