  1. Torn, to be honest. Nothing too surprising, C4 or FI. Owned both, sold both, now want one back. I blame people like you...
  2. Nail on the head, and the entire point of this thread
  3. The recently released Boss OC-5. Perfect recreation of the OC-2 tone (with extra volume from the original, a huge improvement!) in vintage mode, and Poly mode brings in a really solid deep polyphonic octave, stable as you like, with a really quite musical octave up. Royal Blood vibes galore. In excellent condition in box with velcro on the bottom, have only owned for a few weeks and decided to go for a synth pedal instead. Very hard to get hold of for some reason at the moment, out of stock everywhere! So good op to grab one. 48h shipping included.
  4. I had a similar experience. Always dreamed of owning a Wal, the perfect tone in my head. Managed to get hold of one, the tone was wonderful...but everything else just didn't work. Neck shape, pickup shape, ergonomics, none of it. Shame, if I'd have hung on to it, i'd have got a few grand more selling it now...
  5. What?? Fantastic that you live such a privileged life, but perhaps a £1k or so investment on a bass is a lot of money for some people?
  6. Yeah that's what I thought, and presumably (yes, I'm new to this) you would just put the two pedals on different channels and all will work once set up etc?
  7. Just for clarity, I use a Boss ES-5 as a midi controller, currently sending midi to a Darkglass ADAM pedal. To use this with the C4, would I need to buy the hub? Would I then connect the Hub USB to the C4, the Hub Midi out to the ADAM, and the Hub Midi In to the ES-5??
  8. Intrigued! Broughton always seems to be in high demand, off to Youtube I go! Just for clarity, is this used/2nd hand or a brand new product?
  9. Who put 50p in this thread??
  10. Nice one for going to the effort of recording that. What a bizarre pickup design. To be honest though, I’m not sure this explains the issues away that I’ve heard with the Spectors? The limiter issue would not result in a generally quieter B string, more just quieter on initial attack?
  11. It’s all a bit of a farce really. Have Spector issued a press release about the issue? I presume they must have somewhere, as opposed to just letting dealers do the defending? Or perhaps Fishman? Quick message from them confirming it’s a quirk of their pickup design would take the heat off of Spector. Do the 4’s have the issue, or just the 5’s?
  12. Awesome pedal! Don't be too hasty on selling it, the head and BK circuit is great but it can't recreate the sounds this beast can, low end like nothing else! GLWTS
  13. Masterbuilds are rough CNC work and finished by hand. Best of both worlds, and can testify my 2017 Thumb wipes the floor with the eighties and nineties models I’ve had, outstanding build quality.
  14. Two stunning opposables!
  15. Board rewired and switch programmed for my first band rehearsal since March 2020 tomorrow!
  16. In the video @bagsieblue posted in here, it was clear as day, both in what you were hearing and what you were seeing on the compressor meter. Significant volume loss on a string I usually find too loud if anything on my basses. If they coerced someone with what sounds like some level of mental health struggle to take down a video criticising their product...well, that would be a thing, wouldn’t it?!!
  17. Seriously?
  18. To be a Dingwall competitor, the worst thing it could have had was a weak B... Still find it hard to believe that this wasn’t picked up by them or any of the reviewers, hopefully it’s just that infrequent and it’s a vocal minority? Routing doesn’t look great either...
  19. Oh, I thought this was resolved?? That's crazy different 😐
  20. Great. I was looking forward to a month of procrastinating over buying this. Thanks, unknown assailant.
  21. Did I just miss this again? 😂
  22. Sold Shep a Walrus as I presume he likes how they sound? Smooth as anything, usual recommendation from me!
  23. Kev

    Help!!!

    Hit up Darkglass support. The switch can't be fixed, but they'll send you a new one to fit. No soldering etc.
  24. Mad. This new short scale one without the knob looks a hell of a lot better. Just a shame about the price, but I guess if you are a Musicman/Joe Dart addict, small price to pay!
