  1. I am proper gutted. I wondered into this forum without realising it and thought "Shuker J5 and the price is right! I am going in!" Then I saw the pictures and realised I was in the wrong place.
  2. I have one. It does all that stuff you hoped synth pedal would do but never found one which actually did it. The new firmware is going to keep it ahead of the game. Some sounds require a modification of technique, but that is true for all synth pedals (Syb 5 and Korg G5 - I miss the G5), and I would expect it. It is effectively a new instrument. It is no longer a bass guitar making bass guitar noises.
  3. G&L metalflake finishes are the bomb. Their facebook feed is just chock full of nice looking instruments. They do lovely pastel shades. Their aesthetic is just so right.
  4. It was not my finest moment. I totally feel your pain though. I was not trying to trump your misfortune.
  5. I managed to break two expensive B strings once. It turns out that I was squashing them into the side of the string box. I am not suggesting this is what you did, but putting it out there for info.
  6. I have the drop d hipshot thang on my bass. It goes from bottom B to A in a fabulous way. You do have to bend right down to use it and you will not be as easy to slide back up as a hipshot on a plank.
  7. If anyone fancies this then a courier will do it for 15ish. It does not need to be packed. It is a flight case. The courier will take it as a challenge. And the flight case will win.
  8. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ASHDOWN. I HAVE ALSO BEEN QUOTED BY JAMES DEMETER ON TB. The rest of you can pack up and go home now. I have won.
  9. I was listening to a Podcast with Guy Pratt who mentioned that these look like this cos Mr Ashdown loves Wem stuff and did them as a bit of an homage.

    Compressors

    Setting a compressor to make your bass sound fabulous is a tricky business. This is why I like the Spectracomp so much. Someone who knows how has actually done all that tedious stuff and it just works for me. I make no apology for my technical ineptitude. I just don't get it. But I do get great compressionish stuff with the TC.
  11. Shipping to the Netherlands is my favourite thing! It is as new. I will do loads of pics in a moment.
  12. Sorry, I am letting my grief derail your thread. Yours also looks very tasty!
  13. The aesthetics were very right. As far as I am concerned, if the aesthetic is that good then the design has to be there or thereabouts. I still kick myself for deciding 2 hours to late. As I said, if you are out there, do the right thing and sell it to me. The seller took the pics down. I only have one in a PM. Do I need to get out more?
  14. There was an MPU headless on here last year which I ummed and ahed about for too long and missed it. If whoever bought it is reading this thread then PLEASE sell it to me.
  15. I might have mentioned that I have to try them all. Here is another. It is an API (Neve kind of stuff, but American) bass preamp. It has 3 bands of Eq (switchable) and 6 position Compressor (switchable). It has a line out and a balanced DI out. It is full of transformers (for the TOOOOONE) and is built like a tank. It has variable gain and output volume. It is a lovely piece of kit and very well thought out. Just to demonstrate my maturity I am resisting any robot/disguise jokes. Quite fancy it you know you do.
