So Ive seen a few posts about them and I was so curious I thought id get one plus I would never be able to afford a genuine one unless a lottery win landed in my lap I didn't see the point in it being a straight ripoff by having a badly made Fodera logo so I have made my own which Ive not been charged extra for. Its probably gonna play like a pig but I like a good project so I don't mind too much, heres a pic of what it should hopefully look like. Im guessing it won't be 15-20 days until I physically see it but the guy send he would send me some pics when its made so I will update with progress for those interested ************************************************************************************ UPDATE Finished pics in thread

Whatever floats your boat

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1431081988' post='2767578'] Just received mine. Though I am awful with Compressors so I don't know how good my opinion will be! Seems solid enough. Manual looks a bit useless. Wouldn't mind changing the chicken knobs to make it look a little different to other Joyo/Chinese pedals) [/quote] Yea I suck with compressors too lol I have a gig Saturday so I will give you my verdict then, but seems solid

Ok thanks postman has just delivered mind do il tinker with it later Cheers everyone

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1430995274' post='2766624'] Hey man, sorry for the delay. At £49, it's by far the best comp out there for the money. Tbh, for £100 it possibly would be! I've had more since January and it's incredible. Exactly what I was looking for; a great optical comp which can add subtle compression, add a bit of girth, and really make the higher strings cut through strongly in the mix, with no perceptible losses and quiet operation. The controls do interact with each other a lot, particularly the gain control, which will affect the response of the other controls considerably. You will need to spend a little time tweaking to start with, but once you hit your sweet spot, you'll love it! [/quote] Hey no probs thanks for the reply. Just out of interest whats your typical setup and how are you setting it

[quote name='Andytre' timestamp='1430986641' post='2766498'] iv had one a year or so now probably the best compressor i've had for bass, i run it through the master FX loop on my genz shuttlemax and it improves my sound and helps fatten out those higher notes! [/quote] Sweet just what I wanted to hear At £49 it's worth a punt at least

Hey @TRBboy how did you get on with it, I've just ordered one myself I got it a £49 which looks like a steal

If your not after a loud gigging amp then Id definitely say try a VR out they do sound good. The only other issue I found was the drive channel was substantially quieter than the clean channel, its not uncommon but I found it further apart here than with any other amp.

Ive had both amps in question and for me the 30VR wasn't loud enough for my rock/blues band, if your happy mic'ing then id say got for it because it does sound great. I personally like the drive channel on the Deluxe, the VR will give you more modern gain tones. Hope this helps

Yes [b]DO NOT RUN A 4OHM AND AN 8OHM TOGETHER[/b]

An LM3 with a 102P @ 4Ohm would be loud enough to cover most pub/club gigs. If down the line you want to run multiple cabs you would have to [b]leave the 4Ohm 102P at home, [/b]you would instead need 2 8Ohm cabs. I was in the same boat as you a few months back, I went with a single 8Ohm 102P and have just purchased a 2nd if I need the extra push.

I sold a Squier fretless jazz bass to Derek. Great transaction no issues

Ok No probs, he's gonna get back to me tomorrow and il let you know asap

I have a friend who owns a music shop, I'm getting a price for my bit, if you want I can ask him to give me a price if you get me the model no. I can't promise anything but he usually gives me trade prices

@Rumple. I called Rosetti and they will not sell direct and the prices on their site are the RRP, I was told to go to a Seymour dealer and get them to order it for me

What is the difference other than £40? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sstc3psb.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...an_sstc3psb.htm[/url] or [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_stc3p.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...uncan_stc3p.htm[/url] Its going into an EBMM Stingray with a stock passive pickup

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1430402121' post='2761057'] Me neither, I'm after a SD Antiquity 2 pickup for my Precision and it's more than double the price of buying one from the US on Ebay, even after paying VAT and import duty it would be a darn sight cheaper from America, it doesn't make sense! [/quote] Yea I don't get it either

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1430402527' post='2761065'] Distributor costs. [/quote] Surely Rosetti are the distributers so they send to GAK? Am I wrong?

@Rumple I saw that but can't figure out why they're charging £30 more than GAK?
