A work colleague of mine has the exact same model, dating to '78. Very nice. His is a little heavier. He's offered it to me a few times but always when I'm skint!

Add the 2x15 and that was my teenage dream rig! I believe they're still favoured by that chap from Muse...

Have you tried a new set of strings? That'd be my first guess at a fix.

Nice, but I bet it won't be cheap!

I don't, but I suspect I will in future having just bought Solemn Tones Odin 2 and Loki...

Bought Sean's B3N this week. Exactly as described and here in the blink of an eye. Another cracking basschat deal!

Looks like the normal Wal mahogany body core to me, but not the best pictures.

No, but I love fuzzdog's kits. I have built his Musket fuzz and it was brilliant - to me it was much better than the green Russian spec muff kit (also fuzzdog's) I built at the same time so I'd give it some consideration if you're after a decent fuzz. As an aside I've just today resurrected my Pedalparts Bad Mofo pedal. I broke the rotary switch on it the day I built it - that's what happens when you mount it on the wrong side of the pcb and have to remove it with a hot air gun (which I did, but while putting it back on on the correct side it basically fell apart). Well worth the effort. It's a bitchin' overdrive/distortion/fuzz!

I think I'm going to like this a lot!

Looking at this again I'm not sure it's exactly what I thought. The page says "Buy EZKeys & Get a FREE Expansion (Select your expansion when registering serial)". Now does that mean you get String Machine AND another expansion, or do you get String Machine AS your "expansion" (or can you choose ANY of the expansions)? It's slightly cheaper than getting it direct from Toontrack, but I can't see another expansion being thrown in when there's 80% off RRP already... EDIT: Chatted with Matt at Plugin Boutique. Offer only applies to String Machine.

This is good news!

According to the Barefaced Facebook Group it's a lack of space at the factory. Not enough room to store the 18" drivers. Not sure that sounds right, but there you go...

Predictable to a fault...

Never played one that wasn't!

It's a wonderful bass...

Agreed, they're great kits. I've built the Drive, Antique and Pumpernickel, and have the VONG kit SOMEWHERE in the house (misplaced in a recent office move!).

Did you do any of the suggested mods on the Brutalist? Have a couple of the PCBs knocking around!

This is the sort of stinky poo my ex-bandleader would have thought up. He decided it'd be a great idea to pen a review of his own album launch gig and post it on a local music forum under a pseudonym. Sir Richard Head III...
