I don’t remember the figuring being so spectacular on the neck of mine, though I’m pretty sure you’re right Andy – one way to be sure, would be to remove the bridge and check the string through arrangement. When I bought the bass, I noticed that the bridge was very slightly off centre. Martin at the Gallery re-positioned it for me and re-drilled the string through holes on a diagonal to retain the through stringing option. It all worked perfectly. Celinders can have their idiosyncracies! -
Absolutely beautiful - I've had a few Celinders including one very similar to this. There's something about the ergonomics of a Fender-type Celinder that I don't think any other luthier has matched. Wonderful

If these are anything like as good as the Spector Shorty (no reason why they shouldn't be), they'll be superb if prohibitively expensive basses. I often wonder why the Shorty was discontinued (if indeed it was, though I haven't seen a new one for a long time). The Shorty came in a wide range of configurations, though didn't have the exquisite curves of the NS2 etc. I'd be interested to see the prices, though very unlikely to pay them. -
Fabulous - I had the plus version - the twin xlr outs are extremely useful in the real world (or at least they were for me). -
Thanks and yes, the absence of a ratio control (or any discussion of this) is a little curious. Or maybe not if the unit is primarily designed as a master. The replies are very useful - I may be looking in the wrong place with Caveman
-
I’m not sure if there are many of these in circulation. Most of the video demonstrations, and especially that from Caveman, promote the unit as a back-end (end of chain) master compressor. It seems to work beautifully but it’s subtle. Has anybody tried using one as a front end, i.e., more as an effect than a master? Given the specification and parameters of the BC1, there doesn’t appear to be any reason why it shouldn’t work really well to squish and pump etc. Maybe I’ve missed some good videos, or somebody out there has real world experience?

This is what I really like about BC - the best of it

Agreed! Lovely to see more

'could be the coolest bass I've ever seen -
Superb cabs - I have the HD210 - possibly the best cab I've used, and I'd agree on these in preference to the HDN series. I use 210 with a DB750 and it's an extremely solid and articulate combination -
Fabulous craftwork and some gorgeous timbers and hardware - I've always had a fondness for these. The build quality is up there with pretty much anything I've seen from Fodera Do you have details of the nut width (it looks to be quite tight), and the overall weight of the bass? -
The difference between a DI box and the amp DI output?

Lovely! Please let us know of further dates - a really good venue and night out! -

Thanks Rob - excellent - it sounds like all went well and a great experience. A good audience too. I'm with you on wedges or sidefills, I really haven't adapted well to IEMs. I thought that FoH would be involved - it really is quite a long room. Great staff and a friendly vibe too. Sorry I missed it! -

Edit - oops, I realise this has gone - I hope it worked out well - please let us know I’m afraid I can’t really comment on tech issues, though a nice, medium-sized (longish), mainly jazz-oriented venue. Decent PA and engineers in my experience. There may be more from the PA than you’d imagine and quite probably a fairly quiet stage - it’s a smallish space. Enjoy it! -
Same here, I have one so have some understanding of possible idiosyncrasies (beyond terrible strap balance for anybody of average body size). The troubleshooting pages on Club Alembic are also an incredible resource with very knowledgeable and helpful users and frequent interventions from Alembic staff (especially Mica Wickersham)
