  1. Lee has a switch installed that he calls his "producer switch", or "does f4ck all" switch. If his tone isn't working for the producer he flicks the switch (making sure he's seen doing it) and just changes his playing position on the bass to change up the tone. Apparently it never fails to please... There's a video on YouTube of him describing it - I think it's on the Warwick page where he's talking about his signature star bass.
  2. This, but instead of the very 80's Hohner battery LED you could fit a Lee Sklar approved DFA switch!
  3. 36 month 0% at PMT... Sorely tempted to kill rock'n'roll with a nice HX Stomp/QSC K12.2 FRFR rig...
  4. Err... Merchant City Music have the Helix Floor up on their website for £760... It MUST be a misprint at that price!!! EDIT: As you were... Up to £1144 now...
  5. I also use a Focusrite iTrack (but the "pocket" version) with my iPad and previously with an iPhone 6. Works great with the Bias Amp/Fx/JamUp apps and Garageband. Cheap as chips too... but totally relies on your device having a headphone output.
  6. Interesting... I wonder what would happen if you tried stacking 2 iterations of the pre with different curves/cutoff frequencies? I'll have to try that...
  7. Can you stack 2 of the AC pre blocks to get 24dB/octave?
  8. Don't look now, but it's the mini qtron, not the micro qtron, and is much more desireable...
  9. Wish I could afford this right now. The RBV is one of my biggest selling regrets...
  10. I've been very tempted by the SR 1206 VNF on ebay at the minute. But then I realise I didn't really get on with the last 6 I owned, and this one would likely suit me even less as I'm a 19mm string spacing sort (18mm at a push!) so 16.5mm is just too tight... But it doesn't stop me wanting it!
  11. Stunning! I almost wish I was of suitable dimensions to carry off a short scale...
  12. "Get here" by Oleta Adams. Pino at his awesome best.
  13. Its durability I mean. Whether the backbeat performs well or not, it looks like it's made to survive a beating.
  14. I like the idea of the Woojer with the 2 transducers, but it looks a bit "consumer electronics", if you know what I mean!
  15. Can't the backbeat be used on your belt instead of on your strap as most people seem to use it?
  16. 6' here... Actually it's closer to 5' 11 3/4" but what's 1/4" between friends...

    LS bought my ACG Recurve. Despite UPS trying their best to screw the pooch, LS was a pleasure to deal with in every regard and very understanding of the (beyond my control) shipping delay. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again! UPS however...
  18. A school friend who was heavy metal mad. He wanted to be a singer and play guitar. Had another friend who was a guitar player already. "You'll play bass" he said. I didn't even know what a bass was... I leapt from listening to my brother's Def Leppard and G'N'R to Sepultura in the space of about a fortnight. Never looked back really...
  19. @ped I'm looking at shipping with Eurosender but the small print seems to be spelled out here: https://www.eurosender.com/en/shipping-insurance in large print. That makes me a little nervous as the validity of the "top-up" insurance seems overly reliant on the courier's assessment of the situation rather than Eurosender's. Does that sound like a fair assessment?
  20. There's the little Focusrite iTrack Pocket interface. It has built in mics. Never used the feature myself though, but it gives you something to google!
