  1. Ignore the preamp label, it's basically a bass friendly tubescreamer overdrive pedal!
  2. I've not tried it with an aggressive active bass yet, so not entirely sure! In my hands the pedal sounds totally different - it is a very dark/warm/tubey sound, much like the Blueberry. I doubt I will be keeping both as they are so similar, after this weekend you might even see this in the classifieds!
  3. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1432017766' post='2777198'] if that 10% is weight then worth it. [/quote] Good luck, my BB1025X is much heavier than my old BB415! I think it is purely luck of the draw, assuming they both use the same body wood it varies from tree to tree!
  4. Wow, ordered from Tonefactor on Saturday night and it's here already! Just did a quick A/B with the Bearfoot Blueberry. They sound VERY close indeed, it's definitely a Honey Bee / Blueberry derivative rather than a screamer-type drive. I think the Blueberry just about edges it though. But only just!
  5. I was just going to say - makes me want to get a TFR again! Studio monitors are rumbling!
  6. PMT Cambridge had a 1025X in last time I was there but that was quite a while ago! The only reason I'd get rid of mine is if a black 2025X came up for sale!

  8. Just ordered one of these, sounds like a nice tubey OD, tiny footprint and BJF designed so may share some similarities with the Blueberry (sure sounds like it from the demo): http://www.one-control.com/hookers-green-bassmachine.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww1civXp2-I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHTk_xikJqc
  9. I love TIs on my P-Bass but my favourites for fretless are Status half-rounds. Smooth like flats but with a bit more zing, low tension, and won't chew up the fretboard like rounds can.
  10. How about taking the 78 in for a pro setup to see if you can get the playability to match the other bass? And if you've already tried that, perhaps try a different luthier or a PLEK setup?
  11. I don't think Eden will sell a huge number of these... things would be different if it were smaller and 9v powered though, perhaps some market research would have told them that!
  12. A bit late now, but another option would've been to keep the B3K and run it into this which should be out next week!
  13. He's either joking or he's an idiot.
  14. I have a pair of Ampeg SVT210AV cabs, together they're like half of an 810 fridge. I wouldn't want to balance a big amp on top though!
  15. Hmm, no centre detents on any of these according to the listings, the search continues... This place has them! Made by Noble: http://www.bestbassgear.com/pots.htm $18 a pop though! EDIT: And ordered. Consider this thread closed!
  16. I'd tread carefully if ordering one of those.
  17. I've found a couple of candidates for the 3rd one, but no idea if they are DPDT or SPDT switches: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/B50K-50K-Push-Pull-Pot-PC-Mount-Alpha-Gibson-Guitar-Amp-/350353950626?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5192b907a2 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALPHA-PUSH-PUSH-SWITCH-POT-500KA-MADE-IN-KOREA-/361077606312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5411e707a8
  18. Cheers, I'll watch that one for now whilst I see if I can find one closer to home!
  19. I'm looking to do a passive to active conversion on a Warwick Streamer of mine, and would ideally like to do this without having to drill any additional holes. I like the look of the 3 knobs plus it makes it easier to revert to stock if I want to in future. I have a Darkglass Tone Capsule pre and I've worked out that to do what I want I will need: - 1x stacked/concentric 500K (or 250K) audio (for pickup volumes) - 1x stacked/concentric 50K linear, centre detent (for lo and hi mid) - 1x 50K linear, centre detent, push/pull DPDT (for bass and active/passive) I've been searching a few online stores using the sticky thread in this forum for parts suppliers. I've found plenty of examples of the first type but am struggling to find any of the others. Does anyone know of any stockists that might have these available, or are my requirements just too exotic and these parts don't exist?
  20. I foolishly sold my v1 to upgrade to a v2, then again to get the DI, but the v1 sounded so much better to me. Seemed like the EQ knob positions were set differently and the drive more buzzy than crunchy in the later revisions. Having never actually A-B'd them though, it could be all in my head! Now I am VT-less and thinking of picking up one of these amps when they arrive. I wonder if setting the blend all the way to the left makes it act like a clean power amp, but accepting instrument level signals instead of having to boost to line level?
  21. [quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1430821513' post='2764805'] Thanks, how about this? http://www.juno.co.uk/products/behringer-so400-super-octaver-ultimate-octaver-effects-pedal/493816-01/ [/quote] Looks like a Boss OC-3 clone. Never used one, they get mixed reviews so try searching to see what the verdict is!
