Then another £8 or £13 for the handling charge at this end = £180 Thomann have them for £169 ( 192 Euro) - need another 8 euro for free shipping. If you don't get pinged for the tax then all is good - but if not, there's no advantage. I'd be worried about the warranty position - having to send it back to NZ would be expensive. [/quote] The thomann unit is b-stock. Only 1 available. I never ordered anything from overseas so it will be a cheap learning experience if nothing else. I'll keep you updated on the import charges as I get them in case your interested.

Just got myself a Zeus for £138 shipped!!! Thanks for the heads up, I can't imagine they will last long

I just picked one up on eBay for a steal. Can't wait to try it! Weirdly I found an unusual use for my previous chorus pedals.... They sound great in electronic music!! Really thick chorus on a clean bass in electro or edm, it just works

so i took delivery of it a few days ago and my initial testing has revealed mixed results... Firstly in mono, it sounds great when playing in the upper ranges of the bass, say for solo work, but as soon as i play below a D the effect becomes very unnoticeable, and dosent really add anything good to the tone. increasing the time and tuning goes some way to solving this, but its not ideal. when run in stereo this thing comes alive through headphones. wow, seriously wide!!!! makes anything you put into it sound huge and lush. so great studio tool, but not really for the average bass-pedal board me thinks. All that said, i played some mono guitar, and keyboards through it and it simply sounds fantastic! so its a keeper, but not for the reasons i baught it for. The reverb is usable on solo work, but im not really into reverb for my band sound so haven't really experimented much with it yet

i guess not.... well then, i need a project, so ill take it upon myself to do a video demo/review when it arrives. watch this space

Just pulled the trigger on one of these after one came up CHEAP on eBay. Sounds great on guitar but there are no bass demos available online. https://youtu.be/OIzylCWOG58 I'm hoping it will fill my chorus and reverb needs. Planning to use it with my fretless mostly Anybody got any experience with one or something similar?

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1490941034' post='3269142'] I have gone back to Rotosound RB45's I stopped using them a few years back as there was am issue with dead E strings but been using a few sets for the last 6 months on various basses and am very happy Dean Markley strings are worth a try the nickel rounds are pretty good, I loved the Helix strings but they dont make them anymore [/quote] I stocked up and purchased a a load. Let me know if you want some. I only have 5str NPS

I found the end of this sea4ch recently with the creation audio labs grizzly. It adds that "hair" that I was looking for all this time. But it also sounds excellent into the upper overdrive and distortion settings. Even gets quite synth like at the top. Useful low pass and mid cut aswell. There's not much it can't do. Search over

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1490218820' post='3263421'] no its not a vintage. Ibe played both and I can't tell the difference [/quote] As far as I could tell. The only difference was the pickup spacing. And as I slightly prefer the neck pickup on all my jazzes.... I thought the non vintage was the way to go. As it's bridge pickup is slightly further from the bridge. That's the only reason. String spacing isn't really an issue for me as I swap between 16.5 and 20 all the time. Edit. Found this on a sire forum.... difference between V7 and V7 Vintage. 1. Pickup Set *Normal V7 pickup set is made with a heavy formvar magnet coil. Heavy Formvar coil produces a good mid range tone and it feels clean and bright. *V7 Vintage neck pickup is made with a plain enamel magnet coil. Plain enamel has a good low mid range which posses a very warm and rich tone. While we did retain the bridge pickup and is still made with heavy formvar coil. So when the two mix together, it produces warm lows, a good midrange punch and crystal clear highs. 2. Pickup Spacing *Normal V7 comes under the 60′ jazz pickup spacing which is a standard favorite among bass players. *The V7 Vintage has a 70’s pickup spacing. The 70’s pickup spacing : the bridge pickup is much nearer towards the bridge. Most players found out that the 70’s pickup spacing produces a punchier sound. Marcus Miller’s original bass has that 70’s pickup spacing which is essential to his signature sound. 3. Bridge *Normal V7 Series does have a heavy saddle mass. (Made with brass) *The V7 Vintage has a 60’s style screw type saddle. (Made with steel) It is a standard type bridge among basses today. 4. Appearance *The V7 neck binding is ivory and the inlay is a square white pearloid. *While the V7 Vintage’s neck binding is black and inlay is square black for a more vintage look. 5. Finger board (For Alder Models Only) *V7 alder model has a rosewood fingerboard. *While the V7 Vintage model has a hardmaple fingerboard. Rosewood fingerboard gives out a low to very high sound response. It produces a warm and rich tone. Maple fingerboard : Strong mid-high tone plus it feels brighter and solid than rosewood which is favored by slap players.
