Julian Pohler's upcoming Vong kit is pretty close to what you're looking for.
-
Yes, but I'd likely take longer and produce something considerably less professional looking than what Tom could do!

Having owned the CTM30 and Two10 it's a great sounding little rig, but it would only have served as a stage monitor for me in my previous, admittedly LOUD, metal band. I'd have needed PA support. With the MB500 as backup you should be fine though - the Two10 is loud for its size! If you used a dummy load on the CTM30 you could take a line out into the MB500 and use it as a power amp...

Does the Barefaced Two10 sound the same as a pair of One10s?
Bigwan replied to Tradfusion's topic in Amps and Cabs
I haven't tried the One10s but they won't sound the same as the Two10. The crossover in the Two10 low-passes the signal to one of the speakers, so only treble coming from one. Not so with the One10. -
https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/line-6-helix-guitar-effects-processor Edit: Just noticed it's £14 cheaper than when I ordered it the other day!

Only as far as body shape goes! I'd spoken to them via email when I was considering getting a custom P built, but they didn't seem interested in changing any of their standard specs to meet my requirements (neck profile, fingerboard radius, nut width). Nice looking basses though.

I've bitten the bullet and have a Helix incoming so I need have a clear out. Up first I have the brilliant Two Notes Le Bass. I've had this a few months and been very impressed by it - much more my cup of tea than the Darkglass pedals I've owned. Interesting feature set. I LOVE the cold fusion mode. Lots of people saying good things on here about these. I'd like to keep it as, for me (IME, IMHO, YMMV), it wipes the floor with the other DI pedals I've owned (Behringer BDI21, Hartke Bass Attack, Darkglass B7K, Darkglass Vintage Ultra, Sansamp VT Deluxe), but finances will not allow. Note it "requires" 12v power - I don't have the original PSU as it was supplied to me with an 18v adapter in error (-ve feedback supplied on eBay since I'd specifically asked the seller about the PSU as the listing showed box and pedal but no wall wart). I have found it worked just fine with my 9v 1000mA pedal brick but it's something to be aware of. I have sourced a replacement 12v 2A power supply which is incoming and will be included in the sale, but the pedal works fine with 9v supply of sufficient current (500mA) if you prefer. As you can see from my extremely amateurish photos it's pretty much as new. a few little marks on the face, velcro on the back, with box and aftermarket PSU. £150 posted in the UK, anywhere else I'll have to get a quote. Only trades I'm really interested in are for parts for my P-bass build - vintage spec pickups, hardware (1/2" Ultralites, bridge, pickguard), etc, but you can always try me! -
Whereas I've just bitten the bullet on a full fat Helix with 18 months 0% finance...

SOLD Orange Terror Bass 500w + Custom Flight Cased SP212
Bigwan replied to Hoodyy's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Lovely little rig that... -
Baking soda/superglue is a neat trick, but what if your nut is black?
-
No, but then how many 800w combos have you seen?
-
No, I mean in general Les Claypool is associated with Carl Thompson basses, which makes people want them. I didn't get past the picture so didn't read the blurb.... Must have been because I sicked up in my mouth a little bit at the very sight of the thing!
-
I think the Claypool factor has to be considered as part of the attraction!
-
Never understood the attraction. Hideous thing...
-
Makes total sense!
-
EHX Octave Multiplexer clone by the looks of it. If it performs like the EHX is a nice alternative to all the Boss OC2-a-likes (of which there are many!). Good price but I really don't like the form factor.

1590a Big Muff kit now available from pedalparts.co.uk if anyone is interested (no affiliation). Looks a fiddly blighter!

"The 2018 Polar Music Prize is awarded to the American band Metallica. Not since Wagner's emotional turmoil and Tchaikovsky's cannons has anyone created music that is so physical and furious, and yet still so accessible. Through virtuoso ensemble playing and its use of extremely accelerated tempos, Metallica has taken rock music to places it had never been before. In Metallica's world, both a teenage bedroom and a concert hall can be transformed into a Valhalla. The strength of the band's uncompromising albums has helped millions of listeners to transform their sense of alienation into a superpower."

Lots of sfx love there!

I think I've only ever seen one Bassmaster pre for sale here. It's an interesting little unit with a single ended amp in there for power stage distortion. Similar idea to the SWR Interstellar overdrive and one of Warwick's preamps whose name escapes me. If that's the kind of valve warming you're after, the v-type may not be enough, although it's an awesome preamp in its own right. EDIT: also there's this (no affiliation with the seller): What way are you intending to use this? For live use what I'm about to suggest might be more trouble than it's worth but for recording purposes if you can't source any of the above I'd perhaps suggest something like one of the little Ashdown Valve amps, the CTM15 (which has a solid state pre and valve power amp but no DI) and a Two Notes Captor load box/DI, or CTM/LB30 (which DOES have a DI) and a resistive dummy load (or a reactive load if you want to go that far - maybe driving a little bass shaker for extra recording fun with headphones!) or the Ampeg PF20t (has a dummy load built in just for the purpose). Obviously these options are more sizeable than anything else, but still cheaper than something custom made. Although if you go custom made, here's the schematic of the H&K Bassmaster for reference! It'd be easy to change the tone stack to give you more control than the original single tone. Much of the circuitry in the schematic is superfluous if you only use the thing one way.
-
Buy a Trace V-type preamp. Does exactly what you want and it'd be a lot cheaper than having something custom built. They sound AWESOME too!
-
A good thing surely! It's a wonder they're not paying you for such high praise!
-
There's a newer version it seems, but that's not obvious from the website, only Instagram. It has 2 jacks now (I'd guess an in and thru but there's ZERO detail), line in and headphone out... and a power supply input... Definitely prefer the look of the Woojer, but I'll watch this with interest! Still enjoying your Woojer @EBS_freak?
-
I'd thought roughly the same - you would have to be wearing it very high up on the strap for it to make contact, but then it wouldn't have to be on your strap at all, you could mount it to your belt I suppose. I agree that the woojer is the more useful design. Their website is pretty awful. I thought it funny that the video of VW doesn't actually feature him endorsing the thing at all, just turning up to play it. Does more harm than good if you ask me, although their instagram page features VW a few times and Marcus too. There's a competition to win a hand built version priced at $399...
