    If you bought it on eBay you can get your money back very easily.
  2. Great, thanks! I'm going to consider one myself so will message him.
  3. Looks great. How have you attached it? How did you measure the curve for him to copy?
  4. I’d park down station lane, there’s a warehouse where Fabukous Bakin’ Boys used to be, I think it’s avenue 2.

    Compressors

    Yes, the B1on limiter at least is great - though it can add noise if you aren’t careful. I’ve found when toggling a control in the B1on sometimes changing the value by just 1 will introduce noise and that might go away if you go up one more, for example. It can be fiddly but I managed to make a really quiet ‘clean’ patch by taking time to balance the DI5, limiter,para EQ and modreverb. That said, there’s still some slight noise you can hear as a note decays, for example - but then from a £20 battery powered pedal I expected much worse. Not a problem in the Roland of course but I do love how compact the little Zoom is I love how you also set yourself ‘Effects Homework’ 😂 quite often I’ll think to myself ‘hm I wonder if I add a phaser to that synth how it’ll sound with some tremlo’ Or bookmark a song with a nice synth sound and clear my diary so I can sit all day and make it. 👍🏼
  6. Witney is the spiritual home of Basschat. It was founded at Henry Box School, which you can pelt from the Leys

    Compressors

    Well, as I’m sure you know you can make any compressor with infinity ratio act like a limiter. I tend to find in most respects when set up correctly they all sound the same, except for differences like noise, footprint and other settings to play with. I actually find the Boss LMB3 a great limiter, and the enhancer has a place in some applications, like livening up a woolly sounding house amp at certain venues. With enough tweaking for a given instrument I’ve found the limiters in my Roland and Zoom units to be excellent.

    I use a limiter and it makes a huge difference. It doesn’t change the sound or dynamics but it prevents any big spikes and gives my bass a definitive ‘level’ which I can be sure will sit in the mix consistently. Especially on the bass notes, I say it makes more of a ‘click’ than a ‘boom’. It also means when I dig in the bass growls up to that ‘wall’ as opposed to making everything else seem quiet. Essential imo!

    London Guitar Show

    Looks like quite a good selection so far? I guess that’s guitarists all over - leaving it to the last minute! They’ll probably want to use the booths from the bass show and run up a tab at the coffee shop for us to sort out

    London Guitar Show

    If it’s anything like the bass show, most acts will only confirm right at the last minute.
  11. Check out the Bassics range. They post here as @BassicsBod
  12. Pretty cool! I'll send you a PM soon to facilitate.

    Make a PayPal claim and get your money back, then buy another.
  14. Or one person buying twelve (which isn’t beyond some of you 😂)
  15. Wouldn’t mind hearing what it sounds like with those strings. In fact I’d love to hear what the fretless sounds like with them.
  16. Possibly - I notice on Elixir the winds seem to be smaller and they look tighter somehow - I have used them on my fretless for years with no problems. You can hear them here if you so desire:
  17. Hi all I've had this 1U power amp for ages. It's a great amp and very loud. I used it on stage at the Bass Bash in 2015(I think) to power two SWR cabs and it sounded fantastic. I know nothing about it - or even where I got it from! Let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to answer - although what you see is what you get, really. I didn't find it coloured my sound at all (I play into a pre-amp that feeds the power amp) and I liked how light and portable it is (some 1U amps are REALLY deep) As I say I've used it for years without any problem but I haven't used it now for maybe a year, and selling strictly as-is! There is a slight 'rash' to the left of the power switch but no dents or damage. £150 delivered or pick up in York Cheers ped Excuse the poor pics, I'll get some clearer ones soon
  18. I used Peek on my Vigier Delta Metal. Great stuff.
  19. I believe the site has now been fixed, but not sure. There’s no real ‘rule’ but I’m working with Bassics to help them a little after their promo guy dropped the ball. Keep an eye on it and I’ll feed back your website error stuff to them later today. Cheers
  20. We always ask first, unless posted in this thread.
