Ugh! Pressure!

I have done the full custom thing with one of the UK's most respected builders. Would I do it again? No. The bass was all I asked for spec wise but it just did not sound fabulous. I changed electrics twice but to no avail. As above, I sold it for a loss. You just cannot tell how wood is going to work together. It might work, but it might not. If you still want to (and I am not saying do not) then I suggest you pick up a model from your favoured builder 2nd hand (they all come through here), live with it for a bit and then move on from there, selling it for the same as you bought it.

April I think, which will still be well before I get around to building anything!

I got the strap. Don't get me wrong, I would love a board but my inertia is crippling and this will arrive all ready to go!

I am a total lightweight. This popped up on the IEM thread and it looks like less hassle than carrying a board around so I am going to try it. http://www.woojer.com/strap/#StrapSpec

Will there be a better bargain in 2017? Doubtfull.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484962039' post='3220105'] I've bought one... but for those that are kinda sold on the idea too, I've posted this so you have the opportunity to get in on the cheaper price. Of course, when I get it when they are shipped, I'll give it my full appraisal. [/quote] I'm in.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I have REAllY fancied the guitar version of this but was safe because I do not play guitar...............

Sustain pedal. I want one. http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/namm-2017-has-this-plus-pedal-piano-style-sustain-won-namm-before-its-started-647110?utm_source=Adestra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=16750&utm_term=3973837&utm_content=297305

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1484303892' post='3214459'] This track is a good example. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9eED6Krl14[/media] [/quote] Word

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1484668933' post='3217333'] I snapped. I blame whoever it was who suggested the Thomann return policy. [/quote] It is a win/win situation. Get stuck into that Talkbass folder. Good times are coming.

You guys..................

Up to 5 hours at 1080p with a 32 gig card. Sadly the price is now £45 each.

What is the longest they will record for with decent quality?

I played with people who's timing was........ interesting. It turns out that mine is really good, but it took a long time to realise that. I suspected that I was ok on the timing front, but gigging and recording told me different. By now, if stuff is shifting I know it is not me. That is a comfort and a relief. To have the same engineer over a period of 5 years doing different recordings say "I will fix you later Owen" made me believe it was me. Not so. I have been told by someone who actually knows, that actually I put the beat in a sexy place, and that is good enough for me Thanks for letting me share.

You need a new bass. It is the BC way

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484318244' post='3214653'] These are the ones that are references on talkbass right? [/quote] Yep. Every clever pedal I have ever owned (Chunk Octavius Squeezer - I am looking at YOU) has freaked me out on the programming side so I have never really got to grips with any of them and just moved them on. However, this one has other people programming it for me and loading up is easy peasy.

I just ran into the picture while googling using copper foil as a finish on guitars and I thought "I know other people who might like to see that".

Get it from Thomann. If you don't like it send it back. Distance selling is the bomb. But do not send it back until you have downloaded and messed with these patches - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2_tqOG3lexBb0dMYTluOTczZUE

What he said. So often a product disappoints. This does not. It is actually all that - especially with the editor and people who are cleverer than me putting patches up for easy download. [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1484311928' post='3214571'] I have one from the 2nd batch ever built, no issues with peeling or knobs at all and I use it several times a week. It does all I expected and more. At just over 300 quid it is an excellent value pedal that delivers, yes the Deep Impact was cheaper but was also made by Akai not a boutique company. At this price point it is simply the best synth pedal out there at the moment and by quite some margin. If mine got broken or stolen I would buy another immediately. You can spend 300 in many, many worse ways. [/quote]
