Walrus Audio are not established, IMO, in the bass world to warrant such high prices. They refer to 'premium' components. I mean, they list transformers and a 'year of research', but what EXACTLY is premium. I want specifics. See how Thorpyfx approaches such claims, as they really are bulletproof high end pedals. I've always thought they try to push their guitar pedals like the 'Apple' of pedals. I've not heard one that is that remarkable. This preamp doesn't seem to actually do that much at all. Ian's tone is from his playing and his bass. It sounds like a nice EQ pedal? There needs to be way more comparisons of dry/or a normal DI compared to this high end version.

What a bizarre decision! Is this reflected on the website/store in the description? Is it due to them making the active versions? I'd ask them for one like your old one, if possible, or sadly a refund.

Exactly my thoughts. The Sadowsky and Tech 21 pre amps have been used for decades. They aren't cheap. They are extremely well made and well renowned. This IMA chap is a great player, he seems extremely enthusiastic. But, he just seems like yet another online personality pushing product. Do we have any links to his bands or recordings?

I just don't think Walrus have a big enough name and/or specialism in bass gear to go in at this price. I wouldn't listen to anyone saying that profits in the pedal industry aren't high. Why do you think there are now SO MANY manufacturers, with many being high end. Big money, small footprint, easy to ship and thus less concerns over returns like a bass/guitar as you can really pack a pedal easily so it is nigh on impossible to damage. Walrus churn out pedals and updated pedals all the time, for big money.

Had a listen, sounds...well...nice? But, unremarkable. You'd probably get almost exactly the same sound with the HX Stomp he uses later.

Insane money.

These were very recently MIM....they've kept that quiet.

That looks like it was damaged!

Very fair. If they can't get the instrument to look at least a bit close to stock images, then take photos of all and check them. Even at 600 quid. I find Cort are a very mixed bag. Their PRS SE instruments are mostly very very well constructed, but then other brands don't hit as well.

I've had issues with GG in Newcastle many years ago. I've used them online since, and I would have hoped their Newcastle store would have improved (after all, the North East lot are bloody lovely humans). They seem to only really 'turn' on you when it is a return. Disappointed in this response.

Danny seems like a normal lad and a good player. He has tried for a long time to get where he has, and now it is paying off. He is one of those players who can genuinely play well either plectrum or finger style. I tend to find especially with fingerstyle players, they don't seem to nail it as much with a plectrum. Not sure his bands are that great....YET. I think he has potential though. It seems a bit 'punk by numbers'.....like my first punk band (even though his playing is WELL beyond that). Curious...is his dive into the punk scene a new thing?

Going to wait for the Nano price to settle. It'll eventually be in a little sale.

It's a bit like how I LOVE the treble/bite/zing of a bridge Telecaster pickup, but in my old band, the other guitarist wasn't keen at all. The frequencies did not gel with him, whereas I knew it was overly aggressive in the treble but liked it for that reason. I did what every person should do, if it works in the mix, carry on.

HOW MUCH?! What on earth is going on.....?! A basic MIM P Bass?

Yeah send it back. Maybe wait for another full on Bongo to come up second hand.
