  1. I saw your board on the 'show us your' thread and noticed the nice colour arrangement! I'm interested in the phase 90; I have one too but haven't had much time using it live. And it doesn't fit with my colour scheme anyway so pah! The SD comp is a nice bit of kit btw. I used to have the bass was and now I see they do a mini one...
  2. It looks like my entire pedalboard is on NHS prescription (said my current wife)
  3. I might be wrong but I think a Ken Lawrence?
  4. My faves ended up being beige just by chance but now I'm wondering if I should seek out beige pedals like a new sort of fetish so thanks for that 😂
  5. I've modded pieces of foam with a lollypop stick glued to the top or bottom (depending on how you place it) with a bit extra at the edge to make removal easy. I reckon you could make a similar T shaped piece of wood to glue a chunk of foam to which would fit under the cover and leave a little tab to grab for removal. You could even use a tonewood lollypop stick and retire on the proceeds. I want 50%.
  6. Yeah I think so; what someone asks and what someone is willing to pay is quite different. Vigier have always been a bit under the radar despite being adopted by some fairly well known players.
  7. They must have heard me coming, this is what happened when I tried to write a review!!
  8. Reverb guy is chancing it, big time. I think a seriously nice Passion or Arpege would be £2K tops
  9. I’ve got an 83 stingray but it’s one of the white ones with better UV resistance so it’s still bright white. Never really been a fan of yellowed white on basses tbh
  10. …or somewhere between white and brown?!
  11. Ah I see, so it's a rotary switch - there's one for sale here https://reverb.com/item/33188518-vigier-passion-4-graphite-neck-active-bass-1986-white Yes the Nautilus was Arpege only. Nearly had one a few years ago but it fell through.
  12. Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the first one I’ve seen. I really like the sound of the wooden necked Arpege basses I’ve had but they tend to be pretty heavy with that metal laminate and a truss rod.
  13. Well fancy that! It does look like a wooden neck! And yeah no probs posting links to things for sale elsewhere.
  14. No worries, it'll definitely be graphite especially with the later pickups. Never ever seen a wooden necked series I Passion. I'll ask Patrice of they ever did them just to be sure!
  15. Here’s an early passive one but with carbon neck still https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/vigier-passion-passive/12523
  16. The two knob versions sometimes had a removable preamp module with pre set EQ so the remaining knobs are vol and balance. I’ve only ever seen a couple like this though and the system never caught on, a bit like the Nautilus preamp. The one above looks like a carbon neck to me? Can’t find it on the site, got a link? Also looks active with the para EQ as standard?
  17. It wouldn't be a Fender 😄
  18. M80 Classic https://monocreators.com/pages/m80-classic
  19. Looks great!! Just don’t hack it to bits and install different pickups will you 😗
  20. Congratulations!! The pots wouldn’t bother me in the slightest (and I assume they brought the price down?) The original pots wouldn’t have sounded any different and probably needed replacing. To me the most important thing about a vintage bass is how it feels and plays. Maybe not to collectors who don’t play, but they’re to blame for the craze anyway! oh and you can’t just say that and post no pics!
  21. Chunk systems Octavius squeezer! And I have one for sale
  22. Thanks!! Makes all the difference.
  23. Thinking about buying a board, probably one of those Aclam ones with mounting blocks rather than using Velcro. The small size one should work, not sure I’d get my tuner on here too but I don’t really need it on the board. I’d probably go with these:
