Bugger it, watching it anyway. That's quite a collection of Stingrays!! Also quite interested in his pedalboard and how much of the drive he gets from his old Ampeg heads.

Before I delve into 20 minutes of rig talk (although it does sound quite a good way to spend the evening) does he talk about his Barefaced setup? I'm interested to hear why he made the switch from Ampeg.

[url="http://thebassgallery.com/index.php/bass/fretless/warwick-thumb-fretless-5-string.html"]http://thebassgaller...s-5-string.html[/url] Somehow I expect this one IS genuine. [/quote] Haha one for a collector, but that is at least the same bass Jack used!

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1476290320' post='3153106'] I have never seen that. [/quote] Neither have I.

Aside from the fact that Jack Bruce did not play fretted Warwicks or FNA models that I'v heard of, £8,500?!!

[quote name='landwomble' timestamp='1476300691' post='3153232'] I bought used off here so no warranty but we'll see. It's genuinely a lovely thing, I'm really impressed, especially at the price point. It feels and sounds like a premium amp, and the cab is a lovely compact thing. They've been around for a couple years now and I don't know of any common problems for this model. (there was an earlier, first amp Behringer made that had a bad rep). Had more of a play with the valve preamp and it gets a lovely noise out of my Precision.. [/quote] Even better, sounds more than promising! Would be interesting to know what Class D module they have in there...

Ignoring the nonsense power rating (why do it??) that looks quite tidy. Although, looking at Thomann, is the price cheap enough for what it is? If its similar in rating to a 500w head, it has some serious competition at £100 or so more. Be interesting to see how reliable it is, decent warranty hasn't it?

Sold Rich a rather smashing little amp, we came to a deal we were both happy with and it arrived in one piece, hurrah! Cheers bud.

The curtain twitching for the UPS van begins...

How odd.

No question, my Wal was the best sounding instrument I ever did own. Sadly, it was only a 4 string and a few aspects of is playability didn't agree with me and as such I moved her on. Finances have since significantly worsened so I cannot see me being able to afford a 5 string version anytime soon. The 4 string models are more love/hate than people may expect; the neck is a v shape, the fretboard edges are not rolled and can feel quite sharp and the pickups make for difficult thumb anchoring. All of those disagreed with me, however the five string model has a C neck and thumb-friendly pickups, but I try not to think about that! I don't think any model is in any way fugly. The new MK3 is definitely my least favourite, the MK2 shape is just perfect!

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1476205264' post='3152322'] Are they shipping straight away? [/quote] At a guess, I would say preorders will ship tomorrow. Ordering the one in stock now will be guaranteed for Thursday, so imagine preorders will be the same, unless they did get dispatched today, which seems unlikely now. EDIT: All stock now gone, but apparently they are getting more in a week? DG must have really increased production if they can meet another shipload so soon, I don't any other british dealers have their initial stock yet...

Andertons stock is in. No dispatch notification yet, but it appears they still have 1 left! No shipments until late November from what Doug was saying, so order quick anyone who is still debating!

[quote name='DBerriff' timestamp='1476185789' post='3152024'] Hmm. Sounds good... It's only money... Again... I just don't need that much power though... Then again, with the falling pound... Decisions, decisions! [/quote] Switchable power, stick it in 2 ohm mode is 900w its too much for your cabs 350w at 8ohm that way! I have owned multiples of all Darkglass equipment released, I had a couple of issues with the ones built by 3Leaf, but all products built in Finland have been 100%

The Andertons stock left Finland on Friday, so I reckon they will be shipping before the end of the week

I like a good Doug interview. He has so much time for his product users as well as media outlets. Damn nice fellow to chat to face to face too Interesting what he had to say about the Class D power module argument. Also cool that the digital circuitry for the switch can be upgraded in the future without modification to the amp!

It's worth adding Bergnatino and Vanderkley to your list. Both excellent cabs, with Berg's having the edge for me with their honkier midrange. The Vanderkley has more bottom I haven't tried the Aguilar or the TKS though!

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1476010133' post='3150365'] Here, I always leave feedback (unless I forget - which I don't think I do, but how would I know?). On eBay, not so much - it's too obviously a business tool and too fiddly and prescriptive. I leave feedback because I dealt [u]with a person[/u]. [/quote] Feedback on eBay is a joke. Did I imagine you are not able to leave negative feedback easily anymore, have to jump through hoops e.t.c.?

Have to admit I don't 'get' unboxing videos, but the cat was a great source of entertainment there! You are very patient, I would be freaking out if my brand new bit of gear was exposed to cat claws so quickly!
