I can't see the discussion, but my word, being a gent would be an absolute struggle in response to that if it was me.

I think it also matters tremendously the reason the shop gave to the US buyer for cancelling the sale, whatever that may have been.

You know, I totally didn't pick up on this part of the story, got distracted by the almost-bargain aspect. Yeah, that's gross, from both parties but mainly the shop for me for agreeing to it. They haven't come out well from this at all.

I've had a play with it now, was expecting more of an overhaul of the UI given the move from 10 to 11 but I guess I'm happy its mostly just polished here and there. Had a go of the stem splitter on one of my own tracks, and I'm actually really impressed with how the drums and vocals came out in a pretty dense metal mix. Bass not very useable and having everything else lumped as "guitar" is a shame, but it has potential.

I think that just about wraps this up 🙂

The thing is Nick, I'm struggling to see why you appear to have any animosity with the Basschat Admin/Mod team. We explained the situation to you as you have now acknowledged, you unfortunately followed some bad advice from a non-moderator on here which caused us to have to act again. You have not been accused of anything by the team, and our informal warning text is very clear to highlight this and offer help, but somehow you appear left with a negative opinion with us and how the site is run, which I think is what is causing such confusion and frustration with Ped and the rest of the team.

He would have received the full explanation that has been reposted a couple of times in here. If he didn't receive this, then this is a bug we can look at for him if he lets us know, but it shows at our end as sent and acknowledged. Unfortunately, like many forums, rules like this have to be in place i'm afraid, site runnings costs sadly don't pay for themselves, and it is still an AWFUL lot cheaper to sell stuff here than certain other online marketplaces

This is sad, and very confusing, to read, especially from a Supporting Member. If we are missing something collectively here guys, please do say, as at present it just seems the consensus in this thread is that we should have allowed this one valuation thread, for reasons not current obvious to anyone on the team?

I'm not sure if there are miscommunications here, but the issue really is as simple as the rules of the forum do not allow threads requesting valuations for equipment outside of the subscribers members only sub-forum that has been linked to in this thread. The reason is people (not necessarily you!) have been known to use valuation threads as a way of getting gear sold without paying to be a supporting member. It isn't personal and shouldn't be viewed as such, you will only get formally warned if you repeatedly break the rules after its been pointed out to you. Best advice is to take advice from the mods/admin team and not members To view the forum in question, you need to be a Supporting Member, which is £20 per year. The £7 price is to post a single sales ad, which I do not believe makes you a supporting member.

I feel like its come down from the absolutely bonkers days of £10k basses appearing everywhere, which is about the time I left that group. Any much more than £6k seem to hang around for a long time at the moment, which gives me hope. I just wish Wal would change their strategy and get a team of builders in and start pumping more out, just to see the collectors panic. I really loved the sound of my MK2 (huge BSSM tone fan) and have never been satisfied by a "clean" tone since, but I hated everything else about the bass. V neck profile, distance between strings and body, thumb anchoring, all not me at all. Perhaps I'm just forever bitter for selling it for £3.5k....

Wouldn't surprise me if half of the enquiries this bass had was from Wal owners, keen to tell the shop keeper that they need to increase the price. From my days in the Wal group on Facebook, my word they don't like any notion of the sky high prices of the basses being threatened... A shame the bargain never happened, but congrats on the new bass Max!

Modern digital processing is more than capable of rendering a very decent drop tune, to a higher standard than anything analog? Though I'm not sure of your context.

Really interesting video. Little in it, but the older version somehow sounds more organic and natural?

Yup, it's not for you! Do I look at it from a quality of musicianship point of view? No. I listen to progressive metal in my spare time, so eccentric pop isn't my bag. It's the whole performance, staging and production that entertains me, and if you can criticise particularly the latter two, I don't know what to say! 😅 To do what they do live, it's really impressive, year after year.

Great show, production was outstanding, no idea why people hate on it so much. Loved Ireland, Norway was great and Croatia surely should have won. Switzerland was pretty bang average, no idea how they managed that. UK was DREADFUL and over-performed really thanks to the jury vote. The staging was decent but really didn't mask how bland a track it was. And it's not all about people hating the UK, look at 2 years ago, if Putin hadn't have united the world behind Ukraine, we would have comfortably won it.

Option paralysis is a rubbish waste of time, but the idea that i'd buy something else that may be inferior just so I don't have the option to potentially sound better seems a bit silly?

I guess its cost. The boss unit is really quite cheap compared to modern day pedal prices.

Interested to see how the stem splitter performs!

Because they wouldn't be paid to do any more reviews for the company if they expressed any

I'm sure it's gotta be 99% emperor's new clothes for those who are upgrading. I'd definitely go for a V2 if I was in the market for a comp, but never if I already had a V1. The metering is nice, but also in an odd way an admission you didn't really know how to set it before? 😅

Makes me chuckle a little how many Compact Bass pedals have popped up since this was announced, prices not much less than new. GAS is a terrible thing!
