    I went for an used Gruvgear Duo Neo. Be interested in following this thread as the Slinger stuff does look good, but didn't seem to be readily available in the UK?

    Ah shame. I've substituted with another by her (Anoushka Shankar). Ravi did have some very talented offspring didn't he?! E.g. the wistful Ms Norah Jones

    Here's what it sounds like in the hands of the daughter of probably the most famous sitar player of all time, playing a piece that her father wrote to play as a duet with Yehudi Menuhin. [EDIT - blocked video] Let's see if this one works (it's a different shorter piece) ...

    Excellent review, thanks Andy.

    @Andyjr1515 - just quoting from part of your full post as there were a couple of "takeaways" that immediately jumped out at me, which I suspect may well be of interest to other folk, and which I've taken the liberty of highlighting. Have to say that in the over 2,500 posts we've had so far on this thread, I don't think anyone has made these points with such clarity - so thank you!

    What you clearly need is one of these 😁

    Fair, you either love it or you don't! John is totally mad to be moving his 735A on anyway (I've already told him), particularly as he still loves it as a bass! Funnily enough I used to be a massive fan of 'burst. But I've now become an 'anything but' 'burst, overly civilised pups, 4 strings... 😀

    Out of interest would the Bass Buddy be worth getting if you already have something like a HX Stomp to cover off headphone amp duties? I see it has an EQ and comp, but then so does the Stomp. And I almost certainly wouldn't be making use of its 10W output. I could have been tempted by a Bighead just because of its compactness, but sadly none in this sale.

    +1 ^^ but as modified, for me.

    Love the approach and attitude you're taking - and you have all our respect and thanks for all the effort you are putting in, for free, which a lot of others are going to benefit from in terms of their enjoyment of this kit, and Panda Audio will benefit from financially. The flip side is that there are too many musicians who find it extremely hard to scrape a living with e.g. promoters getting paid but originals bands being made to play for free etc. So it's a balance. Panda Audio aren't a charity.

    Gotcha - so an unpaid internship, right? 😉

    Sibelius First 7 - Music Composition Software (by Avid) - £70 ONO inc P&P Great computer software for music composition. This was bought as a spare for the family to make sure we had sufficient licences between us, but ended up being surplus and seems a shame for it not to find its way to a creative home! Sony Acid Music Studio 8 - £20 ONO inc P&P Compact and relatively easy to use. Build tracks with your own vocals and instruments as well as loops, virtual instruments and pro effects. Useful added ability to change pitch, tempo and key of songs.

    To me it's irrelevant whether Andras is a one man band or not. There are plenty of sole-traders out there (including me, as it happens, but that's an aside). If this was Andras' hobby and he was a not for profit org. then fair do's but if it's a business it's a business and he should not be exploiting the hard work of others to be making a commercial profit for himself.

    @Quatschmacher you know my views on this: you definitely should be getting paid for the time and effort you're putting in, if only by them sending a couple of pedals to you as payment in kind. They're not a charity nor a social benefit org. like Wikipedia, and would never in a million years expect to be selling their products for free. There's a strong argument that they are certainly flouting UK min wage laws! I would never ask my bands to play covers gig for free; Panda Audio are totally taking the p*iss by making you work without any pay.

    Blimey can't believe it's taken me until now to discover this thread!! Looking forward to catching up on all your posts over the coming weeks and months!

    VK 210 MNT 8ohm has a great deal going for it in terms of quality. I certainly rated mine. At a similar size / weight / power handling and price point - I'd recommend also checking out the Fearless F112, a cab which really does knock it out the park.

    Lovely, versatile, bass from a great BC'er! GLWTS!

    ...listed on eBay this afternoon and was snapped up for full asking price.
  19. Al Krow
    Your wish seems to have been granted - in case you've not already seen, one just went up on the FS thread

    Bought a bass strap from Paul. All good and very smooth transaction. Thanks! Bas

    Let's keep it slow then... Enigma dimensions (Amazon) 4.75" x 5.75" = 27.3"2 Fwonkbeta dimensions (Stompboxsonic) 4.25" x 2.25" = 9.6"2 Ratio = 2.84 x as big. Q wins @fretmeister and @ped should still, however, go for a Fwonkbeta as the Enigma is clearly Q's balls 😂 Not a single comment on the IF in the last 14 posts on this thread, are we all bored of it already? 😁
  22. Al Krow
    Fixed! It is amusing, I agree. But it's been a slow day on the effects thread...😄
  23. Al Krow
    Dimensions are available on line - I might have got the wrong ones (I can see I was using the Amazon figures for the EHX Riddle Qballs), which gave the surprising relative areas. Feel free to plug the right ones into your calculator
  24. Al Krow
    5.87 to be precise.
  25. Al Krow
    TOTAL BASS MAYHEM !! You've so gotta get a decent video done of the gig.
