It is amazing. It’s just even tonally from string to string and musical and lovely

Anyone seen these yet? in a world of fender shaped objects I love that body shape! https://www.instagram.com/pheral_ai/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D

Slow and steady wins the day

That looks like someone spent too long wanting a GB bass, a alembic and a Spector and made their own Exactly- I’m not messing with that guy

Because a few people have made comments along the lines of: and in the context of the discussion of “I don’t like compression “ the fact you are comparing a compressed recording you like to a compressed recording you don’t like has some relevance. you should check out how the old Warwick hellborg rig was designed - to my mind a very uncompressed design of rig.

Depends on the instrument

So you liked YouTube’s compression, just not the extra stuff the guy turned on? See some compression you don’t mind…

double bass. Even in the genres where you don't normally see them the dude's a) learned to play the thing b) worked out how to transport the thing so I'm not messing with them!

Would a mini pcb and some kind of joining connection be simpler?

Learning for next time: board mount pots and leds and switches!

Well apart from the connections, the LED and LDR and the resistors I forgot to order this is together … who knows if it will work!

I’m quite enjoying the fact that the most recomend Ed pedal so far costs £35

Hellborg preamp is my happy place, Grace felix did it’s own thing well. im currently using a JHS colourbox v2 though not compared it to the others but has similar idea

what’s the deal - he’s got his own preamps but the stepabout is also on the Richter EE website - and I have a bass with one of their pres in it - is there a link?

Oooh nice - basslab have been on my “on day would like to try” list for years - that bass looks amazing

Came here for le fay fun - slightly let down

@Owen had one at one point, I tried it. It was ok. Not as nice sounding to my taste as a couple of other boxes he had, but that’s my ears…

Erm 😐 that is not the prettiest bass I’ve known you to own John

Aw cool - I’ve been using a very cheap iron and a big solder sucker for years … I now know there’s easier ways!!

Never heard of desoldering tape before!

The other option is buy a paddle stock 5 string neck and build your own body and try build one yourself - that would be the cheaper and doable way - unless do 12 strings need two truss rods or something?

You can fix it - do you have a solder sucker?

Having made this kit all I can say is he's very very good at what he does and it was painless. Last pedal I build I was swearing at Vero board for a week so for it to all go together first time and work is nice.

If you get someone to clone as much as possible the design of the Hamer you like the whole balance thing should be sorted without having to design additional strap button extentions.... But say you find someone with the skills to make a 12 string (and they will exist), it's not going to be a cheap venture. But gets you your Hamer type looking 12 string... How much would it cost to throw money at someone with a 12 string Hamer and convince someone to sell you one... if you ever move it on you might loose less that way.
