ped

Are the input/outputs the opposite way round as they are on the Mutron (Musitronics and Haz)? That's caught a few people out before!

Great isn't it!! here's some more info

Only one left now, but couldn’t be happier.

Maybe not so much these days!

That’s one perspective and by no means incorrect. But I also think the opposite is true. The term ‘Vintage’ seems to carry its own premium now regardless, and people love a vintage version of something that still exists in the mainstream. This is true for all sorts, from cars to watches. More often than not the item in question has improved on its original basic formula but somehow owning the original is special because at the time nobody knew that the lineage would be so successful, but by owning one you can look like you knew all along.

I gather it’s the silicone in many polishes which doesn’t agree with nitro finishes

Thanks. I’ve tried a few cleaners (on the very marked and scratched back of the bass) Ken Smith polish worked ok but didnt clean the cloudy areas as such Dunlop 65 cleaned well but didn't leave a shiny finish Music Nomad removes cloudy bits really well and polished up nicely too, works really well, much softer on the finish with very little colour coming off the finish Breath and a clean cloth works well on clean but slightly cloudy bits.

You can use the WAZA air as audio headphones too but they’re not the best tbh, I think the actual headphones limit the whole WAZA system a little bit. But they don’t have ANC. Frankly the best headphones for listening to music that I’ve tried are either Focal Bathys or Yamaha YHL700A but neither sound best in ANC mode. You could however use a cable from the headphones Into a ‘Katana Go’ and do that. I think the best ANC I’ve tried is actually the Apple Aipod Max but only because it sounds the same as with it off; I don’t think the actual audio quality overall is as good as the above. For playing bass I like Beyer DT770pro. Headphones are so personal though that everyone will recommend their faves (like I just did!) and you won’t know until you try them. Even sometimes I find ones I like the sound of but can’t stand the fit (I need a wide headband and very little clamping force, hence my love for the Yamahas)

Thanks, I can't seem to find the Virtuoso in the UK - someone recommended the MusicNomad cleaner

Does anyone have a recommendation for cleaning/polishing a cracked nitro finish?

Oh and if you have a Hercules Mini stand, apparently you can do this (but not sure how stable it is)

I looked into this very thing when I was buying a small combo. I ended up buying a Eich BC112pro which has a clever system using a metal rod which locates into a bracket on the back. This allows quite a sharp angle. Very clever design (the rod snaps into a holder on the bottom) Now if you could find a rod to locate into the edge of a port or some sort of reinforced divot then you might be able to create something similar, like this https://www.paniquejazz.com/product/the-stick-minimalist-amp-tilt-back-stand/ These look good too, I much prefer the idea of something like this as opposed to a bulky stand (which seem to be universally poor quality and/or awkward to carry) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Standback-Portable-foldable-Amp-Stand/dp/B000HHUHBI

I will just chime in to say that I have been using Elixir nickels for years, on everything - I find them very fresh sounding and with a warmth that I didn't find in the steels, which I bought by accident once. I found the steels a bit less even and certainly there was an upper mid spike which I wasn't used to.

No I don't think so

When I was searching for Musitronics and Lovetone gear, I got a good sense of the pricing and noticed some units lingering on Reverb and similar sites for years. I made a fair offer on one of them, but the seller responded quite aggressively, insisting he knew the 'market value.' That pedal is still up for sale—and in the meantime, I've owned three others.

Sounds great, nice playing too.

Ah my mistake - I assumed it didn’t because their octavider didn’t either. In that case the off switch is quite useful, assuming it works in the same way (and I’m not making that assumption too!)

It’s not as big as a real one! Typical of Behringer they’ve copied the on/off button but as it doesn’t operate with a battery option the switch is pointless whereas it’s a really useful addition on the originals (you can keep the bass plugged into the pedal and it won’t draw power).

Aye it was partly/mostly because the wanted forum was a magnet for scammers. Lots of people were approached by people saying they had what the member wanted - I guess asking in public you're leaving yourself open to that. We also had to stop the ability to reply, otherwise people would use it to circumvent placing an advert, so it was a bit awkward, whereas now people can discuss potential leads and links to help the member looking for the item as much as they like. It's quite effective because between us we can find just about anything!

Email sent - I think you didn't get the new password reset due to our outbound notification email problem. Sorry - hopefully now sorted!!

Looks like the finish was stripped on that one. But, best sound ever, well who can say no
