What file extension are you seeing on your ‘uploaded’ pics?

In general I’m happy to pay more for stuff made in the UK. Good on ‘em

Adam bought my pre-amp, perfect deal and cool guy 😎 thanks Adam!

Yeah - mine clipped a tiny bit with the stingray with the 'colour' turned right up. The SB1 sent it into a frenzy (despite being passive it's the loudest bass I've ever had and tbh hardly any pedals can handle it!)

I think you can do it through any official retailer.

Yeah, it just behaves quite differently. On the Wonderlove the higher the peak the more wobbly the filter gets, which I like.

Yes, sort of. Just wanted to try it really, swayed by the idea of a Bassballs that’s more flexible and perhaps less idiosyncratic however I think that’s what’s great about it in the end. I think I like my filters cheap (originally), flawed and basic.

My Stingray, the ‘White Whale’ has never struck me as heavy compared to my other instruments, despite its slab body. I’ll weigh it to check but it’s very comfortable. They must have varied quite a bit but the older bodies made by Grover Jackson all seem on the lighter side

We don’t do any covers. It only sounds good on a p bass with flats with the sensitivity down and the internal trim pots on minimum. Distortion on. But my P has a super high output. I’ll try and record something with it. Live it just sounds super funky and really stands out of the mix.

Yep different strokes and all that - after everything I’ve tried I still haven’t heard anything that squelches quite like the original pale green FX25! I don’t really know why I bother trying anything else but it’s all good clean fun at the end of the day, and at least the higher prices lead to hype which keeps release healthy to some extent. I haven’t lost a penny trying out all these cool pedals.

I found the proton a bit sterile. No warble, a little bit dry sounding. Certainly didn’t live up to the hype. For me at least, previous caveats about the type of bass, setup, style etc taken into account! No doubt all of them can do great sounds and can be made to work well such as some of the reviews on YouTube like BassTheWorld, but somehow neither the Proton or the Supa Funk have ‘excited’ me like my favourite filters do. I also think the prices for pedals these days are a bit mental.

Andertons. Yes maybe a good call

Hm, I don't think I'm a fan! It seems quite 'narrow' sounding and honestly doesn't do much more than my Bassballs. I could wait and try it in the band but actually don't think there's much point!! I'll probably send it back tbh but @Quatschmacher if you want it at the price I paid that's cool too - the warranty is non transferrable, however. I don't know how difficult they are to get hold of at the moment but let me know?

My wife and son have been away all weekend, it's been amazing - yesterday I played my Stingray all morning before watching Moonraker with beans on toast. I've only just realised I said I'd do 'all the washing' and have hurriedly shoved everything into the machine on a 59min cycle

Will do. I'll want to try it 'live' first, as I often find some filters sound amazing at home but terrible in a live context, or vice versa.

Mine's just been delivered. Looking forward to trying it out.

String part you mean? 😄

That would be great. A lot of my favourite gear has quite a steep learning curve that puts many people off, even me! Interesting re the changes made on the pedal. Still it’s great to be able to make adjustments on the fly like that anyway, so you can see what adjustments you might like to make at a later date, if it all, depending on the way you use the pedal. Adjustments normally need to be made in situ and being able to do so and seeing how the parameters affect the patch helps you get your head around the way the pedal behaves. Maybe even a recorded webinar or something would be a great resource.

I’ve now added mine to my home setup rather than in a loop on a separate power strip, so I’ll be using it a lot more and getting to know it properly. Let’s take this journey together 😆

Even the real deals are basically bitsas 🤭😂

That’s a shame. I’ve held a few newer models and have found the necks a bit sharp at the edges but I’m not super sensitive to profile. The neck on mine feels exactly the same as my G&Ls, which would make sense I suppose. Yeah that can be heavy, seems like the classics are more so than the earlier ones for some reason. I’m not sure if there’s a combo of light body and narrow neck for you out there, having lost the plot around the time they introduced the Cutlass (the first time round!). Maybe a Sterling?
