  1. I have a set of Ghost saddles in a bass. I once had a Bolin NS bass and foolishly sold it. I NEEDED something else. Live and learn - one day maybe. Anyway, it had a lovely, lovely piezo sound. I have tried to recreate that with this set of Ghosts. I have not managed, I do not know if it is the bass, the saddles or the preamp or a combination of all. They just do not bloom like the Bolin did. Mind you, nothing else has either (MM Bongo with piezo bridge and another custom).
  2. Just as well that is not a fretted 5 string!
  3. I had a Bolin NS bass and the piezo pickup was just sublime. I still miss it
  4. I used mine in anger at an open air gig at the local Castle. It is just a beast. A 3x10" + horn cab has NO right sounding this good and shifting this much air. The effortless extension all the way down to bottom B is a joy. I have tried gazillions of preamps through it ans they all sound great. I had got to the stage where I thought all preamps sounded great. How wrong I was. I tried them through other things and I understood how magic this cab is. Someone needs to take this and experience the IP310 joy for themselves.
  5. I am going to spend some happy time with this when life calms down next week. Thanks.
  6. Ayotte 12 x 5.5 wood with wood rims £250 Premier 60s Royal Ace snare £ 250 Zildjian 13" K Mastersound hats £270 or trade for a light set of 15" hats Crush 4 piece Maple kit 12, 16 and 22 + 14 snare shiny and new - for trade for a more mature kit. Will do pics tomorrow. Ta
  7. I always hope that something less expensive will be capable of something similar .......
  8. Anything that lets me do this (even with shocking playing) is fine by me Future Impact.wav
  9. I love it. It does what I had always hoped I would find in a synth pedal. Some adjustment for some patches, but it is a new instrument so I would expect to adjust, like any pedal really. I have to adjust when using my OC2. I have to adjust using a Boss Slicer. But that is fine.
  10. Thanks for the directions. It looks like my friend who was saving up for re-shells has timed it rather poorly
  11. Yeah yeah yeah - tuners, string anchors, blah blah blah. SHOW US THE WOOD!

    Curved Capo

    So as to provide closure to my original request I worked that I could go into alternate tunings on the DB to create the harmonic structures I was looking for and therefore the capo became redundant. It was fun while it lasted though!
  13. It turns out that I did need the Demeter.
  14. I just bought a Demeter preamp from yur man Chris 10 minutes ago. He will post it mid week. We all know it will be fine
  15. You have to respect a guy who has just plowed his own furrow when commercial success was obviously in a different direction.
  16. It is a very simple glue job. Packing it securely will cost more than getting it glued. The only extra expense will happen when the luthier asks if you want the board trued, a new bridge and soundpost.
  17. No it is not! I found a 2nd hand one and mistook the price for a new one.
  18. Thanks all, I will go and look at the Ventris, but it is the same price as the big sky Financial sadness.
  19. It is just one setting on the Neunaber and a bowed Double Bass doing harmonics. You load all their different pedals in to the slate so I am not sure which it is tbh. I will have a look.
