  1. Yup. All gone. Silver one because it was too heavy. Blue one because of 2 things - my Marleaux has the best B on planet earth so I always gigged that, and because a mate kept begging me to sell it to him. White - because I'm a massive fecking idiot and need a slap.
  2. Not an obvious choice perhaps - but I get a great funk Marcus sound out of the Darkglass M900. Even when I use the drive on it I only add the tiniest bit for a bit of top end grit. It's a lot more versatile than expected - there are Jazz demos on youtube. And it will go to 2ohms.
  3. Many amps only have 1 output. If you want another cab you daisy chain the cabs. The cab socket is wired in parallel. just make sure your build has 2 sockets in parallel. And that the total load doesn’t go under the minimum your amp can cope with.
  4. I don't know how accurate they are - but Aguilar do 60s and 70s wind versions of their J pickups and do video demos of them. They don't do a specific 70s P, but they have a Hot version. The Js have 60s, 70, Hot etc Worth having a listen on youtube even if the person playing is a bit stinky poo. I've got a 60s wind P in my PJ-Ray and it's very nice. Not sure that helps you really!
  5. another vote for the "play the right note at the right time" approach here. Ideally get a rehearsal before the show too.
  6. Ooo the reverse headstock one is lovely!
  7. I'e got a V already. I'm wondering about getting the Bass version - for the different harmonies.
  8. I've had 3 and I miss them all Of the 3, I really wish I hadn't sold the white one. It was superb. At the time I was only gigging 5 strings and playing that only at home. Should have kept it. Someone on here bought it. Can't remember who though.
  9. Ah - I saw that on facebook. Made me throb a bit, I can tell you!
  10. Other than the different harmony choices is there any difference between the Whammy 5 and the Bass Whammy? Is the bass one really optimised for bass or is that marketing crap? Anyone used both of them?
  11. That’s the only bass I’m gassing for at the mo. Im happy with what I’ve got, but I still want that!
  12. Not watched it yet - but I bet it will be 5 mins of "duG pedal is awesome" and then 35 mins of "I hate DG"
  13. Might help if you said where the collection would be from!
  14. Funny enough I never rated Dogman. Out of the Silent Planet is probably my favourite. I still play it loads.
  15. I used mine a lot over the weekend, still into the power section only of my Tecamp and then into a couple of Barefaced One10. It's very impressive. I started with the recommended Dug settings but then backed off the bass, the compression and the drive, but would up the mids to 12 o'clock. I;m getting a thick, chewy half clean / half dirty sort of sound that reduces the drive when I play gently and then gets gritty when I did in. Sounds superb - it's a great rock sound. I doubt I'll be using it for jazz stuff, so I'm next I'm going to try to use it in front of the amp and see if I can make it sound the same when activated but leave me with a more jazz sound when I turn it off completely. And I ran out of time to see what happens when I stack it with my DG and EBS drives and fuzzes. Soon.....
  16. Used it at rehearsal this morning. its perfect. And now it will also do an excellent Marcus slap sound. Set list today was Superstition Dont worry ‘bout a thing Gonna Fly Now (Rocky theme) Live and let die Hawaii 5-0 all big band jazz arrangements
  17. Update time. the rather rare stack knob PJ-Ray! now with a Nordstand J blade in it as well.
  18. I've been testing with my Marleaux which as a rule doesn't do drive very well, but I'm still impressed. The Marleaux is all about the deep clean piano tone. 90% of drive pedals make it sound like stinky poo. The dUg is clearly a 10%-er. I'll get my P-Ray back from the lech this evening (having a Nordy J Blade put in the bridge) and I'll be able to try it with a more common choice of rock machine. Or at least common choice of pickups. WARNING - the recommended dUg settings have a frankly stupid amount of low end. Be warned if you are trying it with something with low power handling.
  19. It’s arrived. Stuck it into the fx return of my Tecamp. the amount of gain it has is mental and it is a bit hissy at full whack with the gain switch turned on, but not any worse than many other drive pedals. When set at a more sensible drive level it’s great, and the underlying clean sound is very good.
  20. Yeah - I unfollowed him when he started with the "It's a great day for FREEDOM" bullhonky. Funny about the Japan thing - considering he's had far more sales there than any other place. - and that the Hartke kit is all made in China!
  21. No sign of mine yet. But my new mattress has arrived.
  22. You ARE going to wear the Bootsy outfit, yes?
