I bet this is the same as the vitoos in a different box https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_10ac_pro.htm?__cTr=d530aa79-340e-4666-8bde-232cd626daaf I got my Cioks secondhand for not much different in price. I based it on I would buy once and never need to change.

looks good. If I wasn't buying cioks Harley Benton tends to be cheap but good for most things - 1.5A at 12v ... sounds like a pain though! is there something where you can use current doubling cables? Or space to run power to the board and split it between Mods own plug and a 9v Power supply underneath?

Random thoughts here - I wonder if you could do the outside shape (the metal bit on a Gus) out of 3D printed plastic and curved and then have a rebate in it and have the “body” made out of a single (or double piece) of pickguard material - and then another rebate on the centre block

Don’t be daft. They might be known by gear nerds, and maybe ‘known of’ by bass players who hang about on internet forums… but I couldn’t tell you why they were good like funkle’s video… but general bass players? Nah last month a bass player asked if I had heard of that obscure make ‘Cort’ that he had just found a bass he was interested in.

the are pretty niche boutique low volume production - outside bass forums they would be unknown

I think this may be my first “new” pedal … Wired in but not on the board yet!

Daft thing is if they had that not in someone else’s trade dress ild want to try that !

I have been fiddling with this on my H9

Radial JDI is both good and portable… it really depends what you’re trying to do!

While both being on trend the Nobel is a clean valve pre, the capo is a solid state saturation/drive pre …. What kind of thing are you after? also…

Work out what you think it’s worth and stick it up for that - your “minimum price” is irrelevant to everyone but you. I tend to accept and listen to lower offers. Go low if you just want the cash but don’t be surprised if it turns up on reverb a week later with a 200% mark up! that said the great post covid price spike seems to be dying and I would question if some ‘advertised’ prices have bared much relation to sale prices. the other thing you could do, depending what it is is look round on here and reach out to people who have owned or own similar make/model basses and get their view, for instance a while back I was looking at vintage precisions and the advice and expertise of members of this forum was invaluable. there tends to be clusters of owners on here of most things

It's a Sovtec big muff of some kind? Black Emperor?

How well did you find timber worked weight wise? I’ve got a lovely posh voodoo lane pedal board - but fancy something a little larger and thinking of building something

It’s a good club

but that's where I think the premise of this thread is a bit odd - a spectracomp isn't better than a Cali76 or MXR. - they are all good enough but different and sound different.... for sitting in the mix I would prefer a multi band setting on the Spectracomp or a MXR, for me at least, the Cali76 is inherently more coloured and "effecty"... If you have a MXR and it's working - great stick with it. If it sounds good it is good. And even if Pino uses one thing, he doesn't have your bass or fingers (and you don't have his band or gigs!). ( @peteb Pete, I've quoted you but it's kinda a view directed at the whole thread, not you specifically)

I took an instant dislike to the sound of the cali76 - even though it’s very good at doing what it’s supposed to be doing.

If I had to choose between the spectracomp and the Mxr I would choose the spectracomp - so I’m not really sure why you would think of it as a weak link?

The Wacom looks like the most exciting thing in that pic!

What’s the four position switch on the reverb knob?
