    I’m interested too, but it’s quite a distance from where I am.

    SOLD

    *** SOLD *** ✅ For sale: Hartke Bass Attack VXL (box and user manual included) ✅ Price: £50 if collected from Stevenage… or add £5 for postage to a UK address. Harke features its tube emulation on this preamp… Personally, I try to use it sparingly… around 10 o’clock for the harmonics, and 10 o’clock for the mix. Together with its DI feature, you’re all set to play. Feel free to search the web for more details about this amazing gear. If not because of my new gear(s), I won’t be selling this. Though I appreciate that everyone has their own taste when it comes to tone, this is a gear that I think I’ll GAS again in the future.

    Thanks, @Clarky. I’ll buy one soon and update this. 👍

    Thank you. BTW, the 5Kg is from our bathroom scales, so, I’m questioning its accuracy.

    Is this still available? I’ll send you a PM.

    Hi, @Edenburgh! I just replied. 👍

    Just posting this here for reference... from Mica's post in 2007, 15th of January... http://alembic.com/club/messages/393/35325.html?1168958508 "The Persuaders were originally the same as Spoilers but with our Activator electronics. Traditionally, a Persuader was about $200-300 less than a Spoiler for that reason. The purpose was to showcase our Activators. There are Persuaders with PJ, JZ, and AXY pickups. There's some with only one pickup too. Controls were one or two volumes (depending on the number of pickups) and a single filter control. We discontinued the Persuader because of the obvious confusion with the Spoiler basses."

    Thanks, @Clarky. I think the controls (knobs/switches) between the persuader and the spoiler are different too.

    I am very much open to corrections. The serial number is etched on both the control cavity and on the truss rod plate. Based on the serial number 90P xxxx USA, it is a Persuader. http://alembic.com/support/reference.html

    What's your #1

    I GAS'd for a Stambaugh before, and this is a beautiful bass. 👍

    Hi! I am Alex (@gyrusbass on social media) and I play the bass in our band, Robyn and the Hoods. This is my first time to post on this thread. I hope I am not encroaching any rules in this group as I do this. We just released our first EP today, and I would like to share our music in this post. Packed with 5 tracks, this EP parades a palette of our music. We worked hard for this, and I hope our music would paint smiles to your ears. If I may recommend, listen to the song "Reap What You Sow" as it transitions into the "Interlude" which I think is really cool. Bass-wise, I used my Pedulla MVP-5 in this EP. Click here for the Spotify link (NRH by RATH)... but you can also stream this EP in all other digital streaming platforms. I hope you'd like it. Stream now and enjoy!

    I can only share my approach. What I do is I play the chord changes against a metronome in a much slower tempo. Then, gradually build up on the speed. I would recommend that you make the clicks of the metronome sound good before increasing the tempo. Make it swing... and enjoy the journey! When you reach the target tempo, play with the recording. Good luck!

    This Pedulla MVP-5 has been my #1 since I received it in 2014. It just sits well on my hands. Excellent craftsmanship! 👍

    Update: I went to the post office and claimed my item today. The outer box was not as I expected, so I opened it right away, just before heading back home. Of course, I took some photos (see pics below). Now, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 😁 I emailed Dawson’s customer service, to send my thanks and to tell them that I have collected my order from the post office. I also tried sending a thank you message to Dawson’s Facebook page but I am unable to send it. When I checked, the same Dawsons Music Facebook page is currently unavailable. Thanks, @AndyTravis for your help. You’re the best! I really do appreciate your assistance. @BaldyBlues, as mentioned above, I received my purchase today by collecting it from the post office. I hope your order will be (or has been) successful too. Thank you to all the BC members who has replied to this thread. I felt supported. To the admin, I guess you can now close this thread. I wish everyone the best during the holidays!

    Hi! For those who are following this thread, based on the online tracking, there was an attempt to deliver it to our place while I was at work. I have requested for a redelivery this Saturday, on the 11th. I really want this to work out well. I hope everything will turn out fine.
  24. gyrus
    Thank you for sharing this email. I will keep this information in mind. At present, I am still hoping that things will work out well.

    Thanks, Andy. I have replied to your PM. Fingers crossed... I really hope everything will work out well. I do appreciate your help.
