  1. [quote]"One thing to keep in mind, however, is that this pedal basically sounds horrible. It's primary purpose is to cut through. But like a wild man with a machete, it is not nice."[/quote] -From the ZVEX website


    Lol at least they are honest!!!!

  2. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='68094' date='Oct 1 2007, 12:54 PM']If he wants people to read it - write it in english. Theres lots of ghuys on here from all over the place that dont have english as their main language who post legibly. I, and I suspect a lot of others, wont read something like the original post cos its too much like hard work. People can post whatever sh*t they like, I dont have to read it.[/quote]

    Whereas others use good English but post mostly to*s ^_^

  3. Just the 3 Vigiers now - I am done with buying/selling/trading other basses and am so happy to have found my tools. I might miss the thrill of the chase but there is no better feeling than knowing you have the ones! I think I have had so many close shaves financially, most severe being very recent, I am just going to keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have them.

    That is until I get my series 4 Vigier soon hehe :wacko:

  4. Bob is right - try a good quality foam 'hard' case. Often bass companies ship them with their models - I know Vigier do, Sadowsky do too - in fact there is a decent Sadowsky case at The Gallery at the moment.

  5. I thought I might add a POV to the argument - I judge each amplifier on its own merits where possible. I have played really bad sounding all valve rigs, and solid state rigs that made me want to cry they were so sweet. I have played valve rigs that sounded just amazing and tight, sweet and clear, and solid state rigs that were thin and boring.

    I just so happen to have a very nice valve combo at home mainly because it is a lovely piece of British engineering and simply a joy to own. Live, I use a digital pre-amp and in ear monitors, so a completely different thing on paper - but the tone I get from both is in real terms is just the sound of my bass and me making a hash of it. Just very clear and.. well.. louder!

    A very useful resource imo even if your not buying.

    Have you ever tried Barnes & Noble? It is not UK so probably not very good for buying, but there is always a wealth on information on the albums on there, including who played what. I find it very useful when you buy a CD which doesn't say in the sleeve!

  7. [quote name='Beedster' post='66877' date='Sep 28 2007, 01:01 PM']My sincerest apologies Ped, I had thought you meant the grooves in which the saddles sit. Being the proud owner of a complete set of BADASSes (how many people can say that without smiling), I would however point out that to get the grooves of a B1 down to the level required of most Fenders would require a slot about 4mm or 5mm deep. The BI is the Big Daddy of bridges!

    I see! No worries mate. I re-read what I said and thought you might have interpreted it that way. I wasn't very clear!
