  1. It's not a Pascal module in the Sumo, but a proprietary one made by Didier Elchardus, the guy behind GSS. I've owned the Sumo coupled to a Warwick JH PR40 Hellborg preamp and an Audiokinesis 18134 cabinet and and it's really powerful and defined. I've also owned the little combo 06B400 running on a lithium battery and it was also great sounding. I'm now using an FRFR 12+6 with tweeter (12 kilos for 500 Watts) coupled to a MarkBass Alain Caron Ground Stereo Pre pedal preamp. It's just amazing how good and transparent it sounds. Go on, you won't be disappointed by GSS products and Didier is always ready to help.
  2. First of all, your ouput jack looks a bit weird (ring "connection" is odd) and rusty... The pickups groundings seam to go ... nowhere !?! And it's a nice mess, Vin, sorry.
  3. Too bad, there's is this way too loud drummer. And they do teach sound engineering at Berklee, must have been Johnny Deaf behind the desk... Just boosted the lows and cut the highs to be able to listen to it. A real shame to have to do this.
  4. I can do the same magic trick as the last time, if you want. 😉
  5. My favourite bass wah-wah pedal, even if the switching is a bit odd...
  6. Joe Dart is THE new groove master, for sure. And Vulfpeck is a terrific and amazing band. Love them so much, always a pleasure to listen to and also to watch as they don't give a sh*t about attitude on stage. They are just themselves and having fun.
  7. In fact, these modifications depend a lot on how precise and accurate your ears are. But, please don't fall into the audiophile stupidity. The change will be very very very slight, or more precisely subtle, but certainly audible ... to a certain degree (almost worst all of the time). The better idea, before changing parts on your instrument that will cost you big money for small improvement, is to ask yourself : What don't I like in this instrument ? Once you have the answer, try to find an instrument that suits better your taste, you'll save a lot of money. I've "upgraded" lots of gear (I've also been an audiophile, you know these guys listening to cables, but not to the music) in the past to eventually always go back to the original parts and tone. Now, if I don't like it, I get rid of it, because it's the way it was designed, so I won't improve it, but rather degrade it. Simple and effective. I have always this sentence of one of my teachers in my mind : There's no bad gear, only bad users.
  8. That's called a fast answer, urm, almost a year later. 🤣
  9. I've met her, I think she must be some kind of Brazilian. A real low balls offer, methinks.
  10. My name being Tony, I'm glad to know that I'm unisex, but noticed it before as I had the balls to check.
  11. Now, we have the proof we were looking for. Same person.
  12. I'll be the devil's advocate, if you've doubts and certainly fears about it, sell it. To me it's also a work of art, a masterpiece and an instrument that needs to be played. How much did you pay for the repair, if you'd like to share, of course ?
  13. Vincent NOLOT is an excellent bassist who has been working with Christophe LEDUC, he made that superb SEPARABLE DOUBLE (6 String) NECK BASS. The separation / attachment device has been especially well cared using only one knob. The fretted bass has a recessed potentiometer knob for the pickup balance, the fretless features a top (sound) table and a piezo pickup. Several switches are judiciously placed to choose among a lot of pickup configurations.
  14. 10 Guineas on you Russ. May I be your witness ? I love kippers duellings at the dawn.
  15. Maybe these two unique Noguera's, but I'm not sure as I'm more Leduc labelled. Speaking of Leduc, this photo was taken the day I got this special ordered 3/4 EUB named Moaï . Wow, I still had hair. And this beast will never leave me.
  16. My more than 10 years companion, Leduc U-Basse Custom 6 second generation I : The one that followed just after, Leduc U-Basse Custom 6 second generation II (the one and only with a gloss finish on the floating top) : And a Status KingBass Black Beauty : I had many more, but can't find photos...
