      I thought I was completely cured of GAS... but I fell down the Spector rabbit hole again...

    Might want to put your pics back up!

    I go through similar periods of indecisive GAS... Having owned a fan fret Dingwall AB1 5 string (and an ABZ 4 string) they don't hold the same appeal as they once did. I own a better sounding standard scale 5 string now. I've recently been playing my "son's" Mustang bass a lot. Feels great, weighs next to nothing... it's got me thinking about a quality, dual-pickup short scale like a Spector Bantam or a Sandberg Lionel VT, although they're like hen's teeth!

    Looks like a Mono I think...

    Ordered the lightning boy transformer. Should have a lot of the passives in my stash with any luck!

    Different preamp, but if it's what he uses, why design something new if that's what he's settled on for himself? Out there is all very well but Ibanez are in the business of selling instruments, if it's too out there how many will they sell other than to hardcore SD fans. Needs to work for players as well as SD fans.

    Haven't yet, just ordered PCB, faceplate and pre-drilled enclosure. Gonna be cheaper than any decent tube pre you'd buy used either way! Transformer will be the pricey and variable bit!

    A long watch but a great demonstration of what this pedal can do:

    Personally I'd hold out for the v7. Better looking at too much power than not enough, and I've had gigs with cab combinations where 300 was not enough, but my gigs (metal) wouldn't be the same as yours, so take that with a pinch of salt!!!

    The new AMpeg Venture series would probably fit the bill here. B15 and SVT modes would cover all the thump and warmth territory I would imagine...

    Mint and boxed Darkglass AO900 for sale. Great bit of kit but I'm not gigging so can't have this kind of money sitting around doing nothing! Bought when it looked like things were happening with my last band but COVID killed that off without a trace... Have 3 lead-sled amps in the garage should another gig present itself! Only used a handful of times from new, supplied footswitch never touched by me until taking pics! £620 posted in the UK

    Mint and boxed Zvex Basstortion for sale. Interesting pedal this. Zvex call it their take on an SVT. While I'm not sure about that, it's certainly a nice way to add dynamic grit to your sound, although to me it REALLY excels as a tone sweetener/presence boost. It's based around the SHO, in turn based on 60s recording console technology. Brilliant sounding pedal, but not getting used as I'm not gigging and play directly into my interface at home. £100 posted in the UK

    Darkglass Vintage Ultra v2 for sale. Boxed in excellent condition bar a slight mark above right-hand footswitch. This is the version with headphone out and aux-in ports, cab sims can be loaded via supplied USB cable. Great sounding pedal but not getting used as I'm not gigging and play direct to my interface at home. £200 posted in the UK ***ON HOLD UNTIL THURSDAY***

    Mint and boxed Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon for sale. Brilliant bit of kit, but it's just not getting much use as I'm not gigging and play straight into my interface at home. Check out reviews on YouTube for more info as this pedal does more than I could explain here, but compression, drive/distortion, cab sim, bluetooth streaming and control, headphone output, USB audio interface in one. £320 posted in the UK.

    I've been watching the Arkham stuff with interest for a few years and this looks great. Current requirement is a little higher than I would expect but still nice size and feature set.
  21. Bigwan
    Oh man these basses are incredible. And that price is just nuts! Somebody get it bought!

    EHX Nano Q-tron would be my first call nowadays I think
  23. Bigwan
    Utter bargain!
  24. Bigwan
    There's no way that's an 80s bass...

    There was a project on one of the German bass forums showing the whole build process. If you look around the internet you'll see pictures of the insides of an Eich board. It's not just possible, it's uncomplicated! Bodyshaker Speaker https://amzn.eu/d/6GJhcvH
