Unfortunately I have only 4 days of annual leave at the moment and my house is bleeding me dry financially. Maybe for 2013 though.

Awesome, do you have any links?

Wish I could go, I already had one chance to meet Lee Sklar whipped away due to bad timing...

Interesting story, thanks for that. There's going to be more of a difference given the wood is being used in the neck also. I'd expect there to be lots of mids also, which will be perfect for fretless. I'd be interested to see how much treble response there is though with the ebony fingerboard.

If you can provide a link to the product, you may get some more insightful answers.

OK, we're talking to Ben about it now. Are still waiting for a response.

Mahogany/wenge would be a seriously interesting wood combo - am really interested in knowing what it sounds like

We already have it covered in the affiliates section. Anyone who has something to sell can post there. Maybe we need to rename it...?

Its interesting though, isn't it? People can criticise the US for many things but they're culturally VERY open to innovation.

I ended up getting pedals for patches that sucked up all the processing power in my MPXG2 or stuff my MPXG2 couldn't do. eg. unibass, synthbass and two inputs (EBS Microbass).

Which is the one I can see. Press CTRL+ F5 and refresh your browser.

Nice site and lucky that he has so much support from manufacturers. There's a stark contrast between the US attitude to promotion and the UK here too. Clearly in the US, manufacturers identify someone who is an opinion leader and support them as best they can. Over in the UK I get the impression similar people aren't taken seriously...yet. For example, Shep, one of our mods is probably an equivalent to Juan. I don't see effects pedal manufacturers this side of the pond flocking to him so he can review their products. Another example - Tombowlus, manufacturers were throwing gear at him, at one point. Don't recall the same happening over here with some of our collectors.

I agree, but that isn't going to be anything to worry about. Its not going to affect the sound of the bass at all.

At some point I'll be getting some of these: [url="http://guitargrip.com/prod_GS%20Ladies.htm"]http://guitargrip.co...GS%20Ladies.htm[/url] Apparently they can be used as guitar hangers too.

I thought it was an Eclipse too but it doesn't have the arched top. It's either a Status Energy - they were made originally with graphite necks and then wooden necks before being discontinued. But I've never seen one with an exotic top. Alternatively it could be a Series 1 but I've never seen one with a one piece body. My money is on it being a Series 1

Fair point...hooray for the manufacturer not the brand then...?

[quote name='dlindsay05' timestamp='1339176257' post='1685009'] Been lurking for a long time since I came across this forum via Talkbass, finally bit the bullet and registered today. [/quote] Now that is an interesting way to find out about Basschat...and not one I expected.

A chorus/mod delay that emulates a Yamaha E1010? The Level 42 fanboys would probably like that. But the unit does have a pretty awesome sounding chorus - rich and deep. A dual band valve compressor? Pretty much everything else I'd be interested in is already provided by other manufacturers. For guitar, why hasn't someone done a Fender Super Champ emulator? A highly sought after almost legendary amp that appears to have been overlooked.

This is about rebranding though. Maybe they did it with the SB1 as well...

In pickups there is only one resonant peak and its quite broad. Think more mids or more bass or more highs and that's about it. It's also possible to manipulate treble response with winding a higher resistance. Impedance changes have an effect too, as anyone who switches between serial and parallel coil settings on a Musicman Stringray 5 will already know.
