No idea Stevie. I've asked Alex just now and I'll let you know. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned mid-June though. I'm in no panic for it!

Once again a barefaced cab thread becomes a farce... In other news I've just placed my floating deposit from my cancelled BB2 order on the new 2x10 as sounds like my ideal small cab. First in the queue and I'll hold on to my Orange Terror a while longer...

Both the EBS Sheehan and J-lo pedals are based on a bandpass filtered (state-variable filter) and modified tube screamer with a blend tacked on the end for adding the clean signal back in. Apparently they don't sound much alike, but then just look how many different modified tubescreamer designs our guitar playing cousins have the choice of - surely they can't all sound the same... Err...

A mini 69er! Want!

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1399498480' post='2444907'] I always like listening to Billy Sheehan talk about his gear, equipment and general philosophy. I don't always agree with everything he says but he has clearly thought about every aspect of his set up and gear. The fact that he is willing to go into such detail as well always make him a good interview. Also, a lot of stuff seemed to be 'rock solid' in that video. [/quote] +1. You won't find many pros so willing to give away the details of their rigs. The fact he's interested in the finer workings of his gear is refreshing from a gear-head's perspective too! And if I gigged as much as Billy Sheehan I'd want to make sure my gear was rock solid too! Anybody else get the impression Mr Kotzen is trying a little too hard to sound like Chris Cornell, or is it just me?

How has this got anywhere near this price with the damage to the neck? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=191157087499&alt=web

Looking forward to seeing all the pics you guys will be producing of your new acquisitions! Anyone know if they do block/bound necks? Don't want to pester the chap...

[quote name='essexbasscat' timestamp='1399453408' post='2444297'] Guess I'm going to be the voice of dissention then and probably need to get my flame resistance shorts on The musicians on the Titanic had to remember over 150 songs, any one of which would be requested in the moment. I know Paul McCartney etc had set lists sellotaped to their instruments for this or that performance, but they still had to remember the lyrics, as did everyone, unless they wanted to be seen reading paper on stage. A singer I worked with recently used an iPad for lyrics. Because the lyrics were just listed in successive paragraphs, the singer went from verse two to three, completely missing the bridge of the song, as it wasn't written on her ipad note. If people are using ipads as short cuts for learning songs properly, then subtle nuances and changes in the song from verse to verse could well be missed. Also, if you're paying attention to the ipad, you're not giving your full attention to the performance of your fellow band members, thereby missing the opportunity to react in time to their performance and cues and in turn, provide cues of your own to them. In the end, is the music of your band a living evolving entity from moment to moment, shaped by the musicians on the stage in that moment, or a collective programme of things to do ?

Are these "Classic Vibe" in the same way the James Johnston sig is basically a cv jazz? Never really followed the difference between the cv and vm series'...

Darker, deeper sound? Not a stingray...

Been interested in Farida since I did some repair work and a pickup swap on one of their 70's style jazz basses a few years ago - REALLY good bass for the money, which was peanuts at the time if I recall...

Lovely job!

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1398710768' post='2436869'] watching with interest....mmm burgundy mist [/quote] +1 to that! Really liking the look of these. I'd sworn off jazz basses and am mid clear out, but even still... Very tempting...

Orange Terror Bass - don't knock it til you've tried it! Some may say it's not as flexible, but I personally preferred the available tones when I tried them side by side.

These look lovely... WANT!
