  1. I've only just got one so any guidance would be appreciated! I tried the recommended settings in the manual and it's ok (going into the FX return on a Genz Shuttle 9.2) but it's not quite there. But when I move stuff I get further away from the sound in my head! ta muchly
  2. Didn't think they were out yet! Not seen any pricing. I have the discontinued Bass Platinum EQ one and it's great, but the new one looks shiny!
  3. It has reached UK customs. It is now "Awaiting Customs Charging" Arse. I don't mind paying, but I want it now!
  4. Wonderful basses. I got my Consat Custom from Scooby and it is still (despite other purchases) the finest bass I've ever played. I wish I could stretch to another one.

    I found the neck shape too square. Mine was a 16.5mm spacing so I don't know if the regular spacing has a slightly different shape (I'd like to find out too!)

    I agree with Jack. I had a Streamline that I only sold as I couldn't get on with the neck shape. It sounded great. Trebly when I wanted it, deep and thick when I wanted it. If they had some options for the neck shape I'd be buying another one without a doubt.
  7. Thomann are cheapest for Thomastik but you have to spend about £160 for fee shipping. They are still cheaper than most places even with the £10 shipping charge though. For almost everything else, I actually find Amazon to be cheapest, but the prices fluctuate a lot so you have to keep any eye on it.
  8. Honestly! How long does it take to get an army of chinese children to make me a bow and walk over here? bah!
  9. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/faith-no-more-to-release-first-album-in-18-years-plot-u-s-tour-20140902 Hope it's good!
  10. Marleaux Consat Custom I have one and it's spectacular.
  11. Big fan. Had it from release day and it's stayed on my board ever since.
  12. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1409438494' post='2539800'] I dunno about that, but generally if the rehearsal before a gig goes well then it'll be a sh*tty gig, and vice versa... [/quote] Oh yes!
  13. I do have an NXT. And I reckon I've got about 3 weeks before the wife gets to see the credit card bill She used to moan about string replacement time before....
  14. It's a bit thunderous.
  15. Bow on the way! I'm quite excited!
  16. I'm loving these lessons. I'm an EUB virgin (I know it's not a real DB, but I can't fit a real one in the house) and the stuff about hand positioning has already made playing so much easier.
  17. Bergantino CN112 Wonderful thing.
  18. This is getting a bit Indiana Jones!! Lovely!
  19. Very kind! PM incoming.
  20. I have joined EUB land with a NS Design NXT. Can someone recommend a serviceable and cheap bow that will get me started please? I have no idea what I'm looking for at all! And what about roisin? There seems to be a huge choice that I wasn't expecting at all! Thank you.
  21. I have just bought a lovely NXT 5 string and I'm after some lower tension strings. I've seen Walbassists's youtube clip of his BSX and the Silver Slap set sounds just right, especially while my EUB virgin hands get stronger. I also noticed that Wallbassist got a Low B, but they are not on the Innovation shop site - are they a special order, and if so, how do I order? ta!
  22. Sorry chaps - I decided to keep it after there was no interest last year.
  23. It's spreading though. The Superbowl halftime show is also now pay to play http://www.forbes.com/sites/willburns/2014/08/20/why-pay-to-play-will-ruin-the-super-bowl-halftime-show/
  24. I love my Streamliner. Superb amp!
  25. There is a very short list of people who I would let use my amps. I hate it when other people aren't polite enough to ask in advance and then try to blame me for not sharing, because I'm ruining their gig. Easy to solve - just tell them I need £3000 in cash in my pocket and they can use it. If it is undamaged then they get their money back. If not, they lose all of it. Never had anyone accept those terms! Or there is the always reliable - "You want a go on my amp? Only if I can have a go on your woman."
