I haven’t had any problems with mine. Max we’ve had are 3 pairs of cans connected and it’s great being able to assign a mix and level to each. Funnily enough I used mine yesterday for the first time in a while and remembered how good it is. The built in recorder is fantastic too. Really glad I bought it.

What a great gig! Really nice to meet @johnbiffaand @Oldman this evening. The sound at the venue was really good, the bass sounded rich and detailed which highlighted John’s excellent clean playing. Like Oldman’s wife said, it’s infectious to see musicians so clearly enjoying themselves. Thanks for the heads up and I’ll see you again no doubt.

Don't worry, the new website is coming

It's totally dependent on the question, and we don't know what that is, so not much point in speculating or saying one is better than the other. IMO, 'do you have XYZ in stock' is a phone call, whereas 'can you quote me for this' is an email.

I’ve had it for years and it’s my fave piece of kit - I use it as a hub for everything I do although I use it with the normal 1/4” input most of the time these days. It’s a brilliant preamp with the best compressor I’ve ever tried, and thinking about it I’ve used it to drive a power amp before using the main output which I guess would be the equivalent of the output of a sansamp or similar but not 100% sure as it’s mains powered and maybe not a fair comparison?

Ok mate I’ll give it a go 👍🏼

I’ve got one! But no preamp pedal to try it with.. could I try my VB99?

I emailed the other day about getting a Backbeat G2 ordered and Marcus replied the same day, but it went into my spam folder.

One thing's for certain, he's not spending all his money on haircuts!

This is what’s in mine https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/bass/thunderbird-bass/degenerate-tb I really like it; having one extra hot coil gives a nice wide range. Worth checking out their full range, they’ll do you a custom job too. Some of their offerings look like the same case/cover as your stock pickup (could be wrong) -

Looks like he's changed the control plate for a Jazz bass one too (three holes, and it's not slightly bent like the 'stang one). Either way he's on the right track, modded mustangs are cool -

Bruce’s neck pickup is definitely moved right up to the neck, and I think the location of the pickup (prob a humbucker) qualifies it for mudbucker vibes. -

So he's been copying me too -
You guys think you had it bad, I used to be a teacher!

AH ok yeah could try that, good excuse to buy more things... cheers!

Not really sure what to do with the 'Dry out' except into a tuner or something... any bright ideas?

They do quite a clever loop switch pedal with the impedance switch and phase switch too which looks awesome. https://eastwoodguitars.co.uk/collections/valco-1/products/valco-kgb-loop

Just noticed the one in the video above doesn’t have the polarity switch. Maybe it’s a prototype? Yeah it’s quite a big enclosure but I guess it needs to be quite big to allow all the controls. I like big pedals anyway 😂

The more I play this the more I like it!! The impedance switch is one of the best features. It can really alter the character of the fuzz. You can use it to create a more rounded clean sound which makes the fuzz less raspy and more growly, for a driven jazz bass/Geddy Lee kind of vibe, or open it up for a more modern open ended hard edged sound. Also the polarity switch means even more options - it can cause some phase cancellation which means the clean blended sound really works with the fuzz, giving that kind of dissonant collapsing sound which sounds super thick and rich. I’ll try and do a video soon. Earlier I had my bass board cranked up and the feel of this thing vibrating through my body was just amazing 😻

It says: “(The bass has a) Fender factory natural stripped finish with matching factory stamps… The body cavity still has some of the original Blond paint, which was the only color on Precision basses made during this era” Is that true, the factory painted them all then stripped some back to be sold as natural?
-
Sure, and I was trying to inject a little humour which has clearly been a fail. But I’m saying that if I had personally built thousands of basses I’d probably be able to say that within certain tolerances, basses with one sort of neck sound roughly like A and another type of neck is more like B.

I think they're super cool.

KGB = Keyboard, Guitar Bass. Super flexible fuzz that I’ve been after for a while. First impressions are that it does everything I’d want it to plus more. Full thoughts in due course as I compare it to the tall font muff. More info here https://valcofx.com/pages/valco-kgb-fuzz Not my video below but it shows the bass sounds

I’d lean towards having better audio than video. 4K I’d suggest isn’t necessary.
