How would you compare it to the studio one?

Price drop to £450.

So I received this pedal on Thursday afternoon and was involved in a car crash on Thursday evening. No-one was hurt but I do now need my money back!!!

It's still within it's returns period so it can go back to JF but I thought I'd see if anyone on here was interested first. I can't offer any discount on the new price but it would save you the wait and the faff of dealing with customs. I paid £425 (direct from Jad Freer on Reverb) and duty/tax came to £85 so £510 all in, I'll include UK delivery in that price.

Thanks,

Joe.

Just the bypass looper left. If you can pick it up or cover the postage it’s yours!

If it hasn’t sold yet you might want to open it up, there’s an internal trim pot in the old ones that changes the bias and so makes it cleaner or dirtier.

not sure if it’s the same on the new ones but worth a look.

Ellio Martina Bassmute, barely used, has spare mutes. Price includes UK postage.

Note you will need to find a suitable adhesive tape to attach this as the original tape came off when removing from the bass.

Although after reading the document posted above it would seem that it’s an inherent part of any solid body instrument to some degree or another.

I can’t imagine making a neck that is equally resonant for all frequencies out of wood would be an easy feat!

From what I’ve read a dead spot around the 5th fret on the G string comes up over and over and again. Particularly with Fender basses and other basses with similar construction.

I’ve also read several stories of Leo Fender stating it was an issue and then suggesting adding weight to the neck.

Wether or not that’s actually correct I’m not sure though.

Wow! That was more in depth than I had anticipated!!!

Thanks for the info. 

I’ve got a few P basses, all of them have dead spots centring around C/D on the G string that drive me a little bit insane!

I’ve read a bit about it which come to the general conclusion that it’s almost inherent in the design that there is a lack of resonance in this region and you can minimise it by adding weights...

I was just wondering why it would be the case that playing the same pitches on the other strings wouldn’t experience the same resonance issues?

I've found the problem to be far more pronounced with flats than rounds which got me wondering how much of an influence the strings have.

If anyone has any insight I’d be very interested to hear it!

My middle finger sounds pretty different to my index finger and it really bugs me. Over the past couple of years I've been transitioning slowing to playing more and more with one finger, a la Jamerson, and my dexterity has come on a bunch but I'm always a little concerned about RSI/carpal tunnel/arm amputation...

Anyone else out there hookin' it up? Or any ex-hookers with tales of disaster? 

Any hints/tips/warns would be much appreciated,

Cheers!

Is there any routing under the pickguard? Could it be ‘guardless?

Where abouts are you based?

I haven’t looked but given we started with a walkabout I doubt they are Mesa prices...

This!

sounds great in the video, I’ll get in touch and see what they’re saying. It’d be nice to try one out before laying down the cash!

I've had a Walkabout for a few years now and I love the vibe of the amp but I could do with something with a bit more power.

As much as I'd love to just grab a big ol' valve amp I really need to stick with a rig which is at least as portable as the walkabout, a little lighter all in would be a bonus, but it's gotta have that vintagey vibe.

Any suggestions?

I have an old Mustang bass which I love but the low E string lacks fundamental and clarity. There's quite a strong harmonic ringing happening on that string an octave and a fifth above the note and it occurs with open and fretted notes. I've changed the strings (flats) but no luck there.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I didn't know whether it would be a setup problem or maybe something to do with the fact that the pole pieces don't line up anywhere near the strings (E string in particular).

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Cheers,

Joe.

Tried various stings over the years and the best--for me- for volume & tone are Evah Pirazzi Weich. Good for pizz & arco.

The weichs being louder than the standard set? That’s surprising

Thanks all for the help. Despite being a thread about being loud I completely hate loud noises and use some pretty serious ear defence even for moderate volume levels.

@VTypeV4 @Phil Starr Thanks! So how would I calculate it with two two10 cabs?

@wateroftyne Sounds really great, love the sound clips you posted in the other thread. Let's see if Leszek is happy to send over a demo model ... 

Wish me luck!

I'd say the sweet spot for valve amps is around the 100W mark. Any more than that and they get pretty heavy, and expensive. you can get away with a little less power with a valve amp because you can drive them up to their limits and the resulting overload is quite pleasing rather than unpleasantly distorted. Remember valve watts and solid state watts are still watts though, there's no magic going on just nicer distortion. Even that Barefaced isn't mega efficient compared with the old speakers that used to be used with valve amps 98dB/W will give 118dB with a 100w amp. My 1x12 gives 121db with a 300W amp and is just capable of matching a drumkit. That leaves you 3dB down though I think you should be able to push an extra 3dB higher on average because it's a valve amp.

I suppose what I'm saying is it's very do-able but you won't have a lot to spare on a very loud stage. If you had a couple of 2x10's then you'd be sweet. Hope that helps

What's the maths behind those numbers? (I'm intrigued not being critical)

Yeah, the WA sounds great but the few times I've played all valve the feel has been notably different. The transients seem much more apparent in a way I've not experienced with solid state gear.

The WB-100 looks like a good option, the lack of controls is a definite plus for me, I'd be happy with just volume and gain! @wateroftyne What does that little switch on the right hand side do?
