  1. Pahahahahahahahahahaha... Cough, cough... ahem... ...pahahahahahahahahahaha.... "I can attest to the fact that this humble cable really does make an audible difference to the sound heard from your amp." ...pahahahahahahahahahaha...
  2. That's been mentioned already and I don't see there's any similarity other than the "block" name and 800 watts. And white knobs.
  3. It does remind me of something, but I can't quite remember what...
  4. Isn't the noisy amp an easy fix? Think dirty/corroded effects jacks were often the culprit.
  5. On the topic of DHA... I'm following the old "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all..." mantra...
  6. I've owned the Two Notes Le Bass, Hartke Bass Attack, Behringer BDI21, MXR M80, Darkglass Vintage Ultra, Darkglass B7k. I think for value for money the Behringer cannot be beaten. Yes it has a mid-range hole as deep as the Marianas Trench, but only if you set the blend to full. Honorable mention for the Hartke. Fantastic pedal. Almost out-Sansamps a sansamp! Fav of the lot was the Two Notes Le Bass. Most flexible of the lot. I enjoyed the Vintage Ultra, but it's massively overpriced. MXR didn't leave much of an impression - I still have it somewhere but the DI out is broken. I'll fix it one of these days and give it another run. Hated the B7k, but no doubt a Darkglass fan boy will be along shortly to tell me I must have been using it wrong... I'd like to try the Aguilar Tone Hammer. Maybe some day.
  7. Didn't some of the 80's Aria SBs have narrow spacing?
  8. Mostly, and not to get all Laurence Fishburne, because I know I haven't found "the one" for me. I should clarify that I have played "the one" but it belonged to somebody else, and short or prying it from his cold, dead fingers, it will never be mine. But I know there is another out there, just waiting to be found.
  9. I'm open to correction, but in my recent experience with Udemy, their sale is on par with the DFS sale for longevity... To quote Ken Dodd: "Did any of us in our wildest dreams ever think we'd live long enough to see the end of the DFS sale?"
  10. Haven't tried this yet but the Helix cheat sheet would suggest you just need a merge block in the correct place. Same as parallel processing one input signal and combining before the output. Edit: Page 18 in the manual
  11. Matthew has just bought a Yamaha Pulser 400 from me after I answered his ad in the wanted section here. Deal was as smooth as a very smooth thing. Comms were excellent and payment swift. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Matthew again. And he seems very pleased with his purchase which is a big bonus!
  12. Assume so, it's the guitar equivalent of the Aftershock, but has the bass models too when you look in the manual
  13. Anybody interested in the Aftershock, the LA Lady seems to be pretty much the same thing in different clothes... and Prymaxe have a "gently used" one going for $108. And they ship to UK.
  14. Wash your mouth out! What sort of talk is that?!
  15. Interesting preamp - what does it do?
  16. What? With a few changes a Joyo British can be made into a VT Bass-a-like?! Joyo British incoming then!

      Well, I mean - how many overdrives is too many overdrives, right?

      I don't believe there's any such thing as too many overdrives... It's like saying I've eaten to many buns! Nonsense!

  17. Wal's are 2+2 with a string retainer. Hipshot do a nice 2 or 3 string retainer and there are cheap copies on ebay which are good quality, but much cheaper.

    Precision bass

    The original Classic Vibe Squier series was a 60s version, not the 70s block and bound. They came in Fiesta Red and Sonic Blue - there have also been reports that there are a few Olympic White ones knocking around. Brilliant basses. Also keep an eye open for an SQ series 80s Squier. Truly amazing basses.
  19. I had a 5 string once upon a time - bought from here and sold here. One of the ones that got away. Awesome, awesome, awesome bass.
