I have owned the EBS Valve Drive and currently use the Carl Martin on my main board. No contest, Carl Martin is more flexible, has much better EQ and function more like a tube preamp (i.e. how hard you strike the string, impacts od). I have no issue in getting more detailed and technical but if you are looking to warm up your tone Carl Martin any day of the week. EBS is a good overdrive, but a little bit of a one trick pony in my opinion and certainly not best suited to warm/liven up tone.

Some more items sold, some withdrawn, bumpage -
SFT sold, had some good trade options but not the right one for me just yet.

Please remove

Deeper Impact! Gigrig makes some excellent gear, this will rule someone's board with a vengeance. -
What Walbassist said

U-Retro will not give passive options as required as far as I know. The Consat has 5 knobs as far as I know and if you like the Glock, just buy the 3 band version without the stacked knobs (5 knobs) or even the 2 band non stacked *4 knobs), these do have the passive tone control.

Tom is an artist and a gentleman. Highly recommended.

I have had the QM 6 on my pedal board for a bit now, by far the lightest, perhaps the smallest and certainly one of the best pedal switching systems around. +1 to the review above.

Even the best luthiers have their off-days...

As a premium builder in a market where there is a lot of competition (Lull, Sadowsky, FBass, Suhr etc etc) you simply cannot afford to give no customer service and to be frank the whole story seems hard to believe because of it. IMO Two things that can be taken from this, never buy a really expensive bass without seeing it first and never buy a really expensive bass -
flats will help but you get closest by palm muting your strings, imo the right palm mute technique is a bigger must to get that upright sound than strings.

I had 2 sets of stock pickups for the '62 AVRI, sold one pair and the others are currently in a cheap bass I have, but I could take them out I guess. I cannot see why anyone would prefer them over Wizard 64's though (they are not the Custom Shops, just the "bog standard" Fender Jazz vintage single coils and even the Custom Shops imo are not as good as the Wizards and are certainly less balanced across the strings).

Lulls are awesome, a very happy user for many years now. -
Pre-weekend bump, not an issue to keep this if there are no bites = open to offers but will not price drop much

Tom did a great job on the Grand Tarkin as he has named the production model of Harvey's Wallbanger (my son is called Harvey, fuzz is a wallbanger blah blah etc). My feedback/review on it is under COG in the Affiliates section if you want to take a gander. I really like it and I am spoiled when it comes to pedals.

Time for an update. [URL=http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/image_zps93313940.jpg.html][IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k147/welcometombh/image_zps93313940.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Palmer Octobus controls all pedals (programmable) apart from the Multicomp which is always ON. There are 4 gain/ dirt stages: Carl Martin Bass drive (low gain tube breakup), MXR Bass OD (medium gain), COG Fuzz (settings pretty heavy) and lastly the excellent B3K distortion ( hi gain distortion). I use these separate and combined. Then a simple EBS Octabass, MXR Bass Envelope and MXR Chorus for more sonic goodness and lastly an MXR Line Driver for Clean Boost and a Korg Tuner. My board is a Pedaltrain PT3 and I have 2 Voodoo Lab power plants installed to power it all.

Bumpage, would consider a 5 string trade, preferably with a little cash my way.

Had a few trade offers, prefer to sell this. Plays really really well and sounds the part.

Isn't this more about the ridiculous prices Fender charges for their Custom Shop models than anything else? I have actually played a Pino and it was an absolute dream to play (TI flats rock!), but it was not better than for instance my old Lull PJ with TIs which was a lot cheaper and probably not hugely better than any well built Fender standard P (you can luck into a really good one, like on of my mates). Personally I don't get spending that much on an instrument (and it gets progressively worse when you start looking at Alleva, Fodera etc), especially since I can guarantee you that a lot of the people that own instruments like it are part time hobby musicians, it's like having a Rolls and only using it for the weekly ASDA trip. I get it even less that you then take this 8 grand custom art work to the local pub and gig it over the 50 quid Behringer 1x10, as that is like driving your Roller to the ASDA on wooden wheels. My point? If you are ridiculously rich or stupid or just really want it or whatever, do it, but a VW Golf will do the weekly ASDA trip as well. And as

Keeping the 62, too good to sell.
