  1. My pleasure! The compressor is pretty much your favourite compressor. You can have it however you want it. The phaser is glorious, the chorus is a bunch of choruses, and I thought the lack of envelope might be a big disadvantage until I turned one of the vibes into an auto wah. You'll get nothing but GAS from me right now I'm afraid!
  2. Great stuff. Thank you.
  3. I was considering one of these, just blown a few months effects budget, but still interested. I shall follow your progress...
  4. Good spot @Maude If Sex On Fire isn't the blueprint for that, then I don't know what is.
  5. Hello @glassmoon. I have only had a rudimentary play. The Helix will do more, but it's a different beast. This is a pedal board. Pure and simple. The effects loop goes wherever you want it to. I had a play with an OD pedal in the loop, just after the compressor before a phaser. Sounds superb. I paired the phone app.... eventually! but other than play around with some harmony sounds I've not done that much. I'll get back at you tomorrow when I hope to have a little time.
  6. Picked one up from Amazon for just under 360, which was about as good as I could find it. Not that many effects on it but quite a variety of sounds possible within each one.
  7. Oh, it's not yellow by the way
  8. I went for it. To heck with being sensible. I have updated the firmware. Had a little fiddle. Changed a few effects. I got a little tired and left it for now. However, I had a noodle, and so far I've discovered that it sounds really, really good. The most encouraging thing about it is how utterly simple and intuitive it is. More to come.. oh, who fancies a picture?
  9. I don't have it yet...
  10. I assume there is an algorithm at work. I don't know, but I guess in its simplest form if the delivery slot is still free then it becomes cheaper as the last possible time to book it approaches.
  11. They're up and down like a whore's drawers. Best bet is never let yourself get backed into a corner, don't promise you can get it there Tuesday. Wait for the price to be right!
  12. I suspect @TrevorRand I are of a similar vintage! My red Aria, so battered now it's worthless to anyone else, but to me it's a tangible link to my life of music. It's been in studios, on stages, in pubs, clubs, and fields. I have lost a lot of my memories, but that bass can transport me back in an instant. Also my Aria TAB semi was a gift from my old man, who knew he wasn't going to see another Christmas. Goes without saying that one never leaves.
  13. OK. Draw circle on panel. Drill hole inside the edge of the circle. Place panel on work bench with hole just over the edge. Jigsaw blade into hole. Start cutting, pulling panel towards you. Stop. Remove tins, tools, cup of tea which panel almost knocks from bench. Resume.
  14. Sadly mine has come to a halt. Lost my workspace recently. Yours looks fascinating.
  15. Crimson Red. I might be wrong - postie is bringing something!
  16. Each to their own of course! I jigsawed out countless circles in one of my incarnations, this method was the most efficient.
  17. Hopefully get mine tomorrow.
  18. Find the centre of the hole. Bang a nail through it. Now you can spin the board keeping the jigsaw still and feeding the line into it. Drill a hole to get you started
  19. Can't join I with a photo as my first bass (a Kay) is long gone. If I remember correctly it's now being used as an anchor on cargo ship. My last is a Cort jazz, beautiful to look at and to play. My everything used to be my 80s Aria SB. Owned from new, battered and bruised it's survived through several marriages and about thirty house moves. But realistically the one I turn to now, and my main gigging bass is my Bruce Thomas Profile. It just fits.
  20. I use the same crossover, it's really good. I like having the choice as to where the crossover occurs. I use it in a bi-amp set up for bass.
  21. Vietnam. @kodiakblairgave us a run down on the employment practices and laws there and they put us to shame in many ways
