Congrats - it’s absolutely superb

Good man - it was always always going to be a winner in my book

Ultimate Guitar tabs app for most mobile/tablet platforms is a good start. For my money though, they are often in the ball park but not correct. Nowt like listening and working out!

Other way round for the DP3X at its peak of powers with other instruments in a band There is a shift button with the mids centered at 325 or 700, unity gain at 12 o’clock, +/- 18dB boost/cut - you can get a decent amount of mid presence

@Wolverinebass cheers for that chap, been wanting someone for ages who is sensible and unbiased to compare the 2. Couple of things to flesh out, which will inevitably happen with a review like this when people put their 2 pence in. Value - DP3X has a very good tuner, which makes a big difference for a one stop shop. Distortion - i will have to bow to you on the ins and outs, but if you say it is ‘Darkglass’ in its sound, I will have an idea, and no doubt the DP3X will be more musical as you say. Even at extreme settings of ‘clank’ on the DP3X, using the tone knob on your bass really tempers that bright cutting sound and can give a very organic sounding drive. Did the Darkglass do the same admirably? Clean tone - I personally have found settings where I can switch between the clean and dirty with no knob tweaks and get great sounds with it, but that’s just me. Minuscule turns can lead to pleasing differences, it’s not one for your Andertons review where they play and wildly twiddle. Mid scoop - can’t disagree, but for me this is a pedal to use with other instruments and not triple kick drum demos like most of the Darkglass videos. Yes you hear it when playing on your own, but between the 2 frequencies and the shift button, it gives the presence you need to fold around others, and keeps a very tight bass sound. Also the DP3X is VERY responsive to how you play, is the DG the same? All in all, great work chap, and these are just my thoughts on top of yours which I agree with 🤘🏾👊🏾

Sandberg black labels are very very good and punchy Haussel do buckers and also a triple bucket in the same sized shell as an MM pick up Aguilar just brought out a new MM pick up

Doesn’t matter what equipment or wattage etc those guys will be using, they need to learn EQ and balance

That’s 2 more than a few

A few is a vague term......

All this get loud for the sound is also bollox as well, so many guitarists on touring bands etc are using low wattage solid state heads with a low stage volume and get a massive crunchy sound, Tech is moving on. Get them down to your level i reckon and then see!

Question is, will gigs have PA support? Also you said ‘maybe’ gigs - be a shame to buy stuff and then no gigs happen. Why not use it as an excuse to get them to play at sensible volume, also saving your ears while you arrange and get it together, and if it comes off and looks like it will be a go-er then splash out

Sorry about that, if i knew you were a BCer I wouldn’t have sent it....

Hardly, nowt wrong with decent principles However I was never brought up to do the splits

No inference has been made on whether it’s a band or Richard van Dyke doing his one man thing, that’s an assumption that’s been made. You could argue that you can’t get upset about something you never had, it’s not like the gig was played and then the person/people weren’t paid. In this case, in fact the OP has not lost any money, he should be thankful........

1st outcome - no bass - a different bass not bought because of 1st bass deal in pipeline 2nd outcome - no gig - another gig/event whatever turned down because of first gig deal in pipeline End result of both - nothing gained, something lost Crystal

And that’s relatively obtuse. A different scenario with similar principles was given where an opportunity was lost, that’s the point. If that point can’t be seen then there is no point, point of fact.

Thats hardly like for like Serious rebuttal

What about a scenario where you are booked to play a gig at a venue, turn down other gigs/family events etc. Because of doing this gig. Venue turns around and says last minute they don’t want you to play. Similar scenario/ different scenario? No money has been lost and no children or animals hurt in this episode. Would the win some/lose some idea still apply? Purely Devils advocate here, no axe to grind.

Even during this CITES thing and until it’s lifted, just tell them it’s Pau Ferro - doubt the customs officers know the difference

Benefit of something like TransferWise is that, the currency conversion rate is good, but also you can use your credit card as the means for money transfer to their account and this further decreases the risk

Creamery Pick ups are without doubt one of the best around
