    Absolutely killer pedal. As much as I love my Ashdown pre, these are soooooooo good. Damn, makes me swell with GAS GLWTS @6feet7

    Hi all I bought these a while ago when I thought I'd need to do a lot more silent practicing, but I moved soon after that, and since then, just haven't used them at all. Comes with the 1/8" to 1/4" jack (see pics) No box unfortunately, but will obviously pack it all up snug as a bug. NOW £15.00 *** Price includes P&P to the UK 2nd class RM. *** Link to Samson Link to Amazon Many thanks Julian

    Hi @danbowskill I'm not that familiar with the Tri-Logic other than always wanting one... on the clone, I'm assuming the controls are Gain, Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble... but what do the switches do? I guess one is a mid frequency switch? And then a dumb question... all the clips I've just found intimate this is used by a lot of passive bass players to bump things up a notch or two, but I am looking to enhance an active bass. In your experience, is that "doable" without putting an EQ after an EQ and before yet another EQ? I have the Ashdown OriginAL pedal, which I love, but isn't quite "powerful" enough for my Neanderthal like tastes Much appreciated Julian

    @N64Lover... how're you finding the new Aguilar mini compressor?

    So.... I was looking at some pictures from "another bass blog", a NBD post for this same bass, and then at my pics - back and forth for ages - and then it dawned on me that the strings (by the chap I bought the bass from) had gone through the 2nd saddle screw hole [[ as far as I can tell, you can run the screws in different holes to achieve different spacings ]]. I swapped the strings to the "bottom" hole and while it's not perfect... it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!!!!! Many thanks for the inputs folks... a head scratcher for me, but once the penny had dropped

    Hi all A question. I'm struggling with the bridge saddles. The B to D sit well(ish), but the G is either way off the pickup poles or the string, when aligned, is at an alarming angle from the bridge 'string hole'. A. Do I need to swap saddles, a la Hipshot KickAss, or B. can I easily adjust things as they stand? My thanks in advance Julian

    So, in the end, through the "other" bass blog, I found Sadowsky style knobs here in the UK from CPC. They were attractively priced... I will post a pic when they are on the bass. Yeah, @Stingray64, the electronics stores seem to be the better option. Perhaps bass & guitar players don't change the knobs often enough to warrant a large knob inventory... Sorted though

    Checking them out now - ta!!!

    The Images and Words, Live in Japan from 1992/3 was good. He was playing a pre-Gibson Tobias. The Awake in Japan from 1994/5 was really good. He was playing a Tung then. BTW - both tours were with him playing through a Boogie rig and he was clean! Oh - he used to be a LOT more active on stage back in the day...

    Hi all I'm looking at replacing the chrome knobs on my Cort with black ones, and I'm battling to find like for like replacements that a. are not ludicrously expensive or b. don't come with alarming (bad quality) reviews. The current 4 are just fine. Decent quality, no wobble, but I want black (it's a translucent black finish and I think black knobs will compliment the instrument). My question is where is the best place to buy so as not to get fleeced and is there an amazon set that anyone has bought that do the job? Made for a solid shaft, with an Allen key screw and a 6mm hole. My thanks, as always... Julian

    Too right - 6:00am was my highlight - but then I am rather biased to the Awake album.... I was just stoked that Rudess didn't go off on a 1000mph tangent at every opportunity... and no one took a solo
  14. glassmoon
    Thanks Si - I have considered approaching Lakland themselves... we're just getting crucified here in the UK with anything considered "musical" by the mail services or whoever is in charge of fleecing the public (tongue in cheek... sorta, kinda)
  15. glassmoon
    I had to giggle at one point - James LaBrie is chatting with the audience and Myung is playing scales, or whatever - fingers flying. Man, he does not stop!
  16. glassmoon
    Hi all Who in the UK sells those Lakland style control knobs? I can't find them anywhere My thanks Julian Images are of a Lakland bass, and a knob from bestbassgear(dot)com

    Just saw this thread ... I was at the 23rd April show at the Evo Arena (Wembley, London)... Myung is a machine. Absolutely sensational. And I was so glad to hear his true bass tone shining through and not the (my opinion only please, before I get lambasted for being a tone Nazi) progressively more and more distorted mess I've heard from live recordings over the last decade or so. His tone was so present and really made the bottom end move without woofing out. The band was so on point! Tesseract were just WOW! As tight as a very tight duck's derrière - pity I could hardly hear Amos because he is a monster player. But Myung... having grown up in South Africa, to actually get to see a band I've been a fan of since Awake was released... well... I'm not sure when then smile will leave my face hahahaha #ashdownforever

    Hi all I've had this Carl Martin for nearly 20 years.. and sadly it shows. The casing is beat to heck, and it's been shimmed down (to fit a long since gone incarnation of a board) It has had switch and the light removed - no need for either as it was always on. Also, there are no screws holding the bottom plate on. But cosmetics aside, it works splendidly, save the gain pot which seems to have lost some juice - as in, it is softer than expected, so you need to gain it up some. I finally took it off my board at the start of the year after scaling my pedals down to the absolute essentials. There really is not much to say other than this is a magic pedal - super clean and amazingly good compression, from gentle to shelved. Anyway - selling it for a song (price includes UK P&P) and hoping for someone who wants a great compressor without having to break the bank. Cosmetics can be remedied with another box and some soldering - the whole thing, and the power are easily moved about). Right - enough of me...

    Hahahaha touché @Owen That is a very good point. Now to get the covers to be a hair over a millimetre smaller to fit my bass's cavity
  20. glassmoon
    Hi Tobie As I feared. It's the center to center that's the issue. Last set I tried didn't fit as a result. The pickup width is not so much an issue, but when it can't slot into the cavity because of the lugs... Thank you so much for taking the time to get the dimensions. What an absolute pity. Seriously miffed. Julian

    So you'd put up with the likes of Bartolini and Duncan? Perhaps just under?
  22. glassmoon
    Hi all As the title suggests, anyone have any experience with Cat's Whiskers pickups? I'm looking at a possible set of J/MM to upgrade my Cort GB-75JH. Opinions most welcome. Ta Julian
  23. glassmoon
    Could I please ask - cos the Bartolini site is not as informative as I'd perhaps like - for the following dimensions? Neck pickup – J style: L = xxx mm W = xx mm edge to middle of screw lug = xx mm center of screw lug to screw lug = xx mm My thanks in advance.. Julian

    Who knows... The Lakland are an unknown and pretty much there for me to see what they're like. The Bart eq is probably where I'll go though
  25. glassmoon
    @spyder, thanks mate. Those are in my top 3 actually, along with a Seymour Duncan. The Glock is highly rated as a neutral pre, the Bart, I'm fairly familiar with, and I've had a few Duncan, and have always liked them. For a Jack-of-all-trades bass, the Glock may not be the best choice. A little colour, especially in the bottom end, is a bit more appealing to me. Hell's Teeth, this is not easy. I need to sit with these Laklands for a while and see if they "need" something....
