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]

Some people like Bergs more than BF. Some people like BF more than Bergs. How this turns into angry posting central every time is just beyond me. It is ALL relative. It all depends on what each individual is looking for in a cab. Nothing else. How do I know if a cab is going to work for me? I play through one. I buy it, try it at home and if I like it I keep it. If I do not I send it back under distance selling or if I bought it here I sell it on for the same price. Alex is doing his thing. Jim is doing his thing. Both are great options. What a time to be alive!

I can imagine it will not be to everyone's taste but I like it a lot. [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/DB_zpswcwt3fap.jpeg.html"][/url]

I have a bitsa Goofellow neck/Shuker Body which much as I like it it just does not get used so I will probably bring that and offer it for sale if anyone fancies it.

Thanks everyone for all the info, both given and promised. The preamp is a Monique and the info for the latest mods (mine is very early) is not out there. I am sure that a decent tech could do it but Jule has the secret sauce.

Found it. Quite a scary walk through 6 years of rampant GAS.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1483825260' post='3210489'] And you're assuming they have the documents related to their buying it from the USA, assuming they were the original owner/importer. [/quote] It is wired up for UK voltage so am presuming it is a proper import. I have 50 pages of PMs to wade through to see if I can find who I bought it from. First world problems.

Sadness, the PM search function does not work

Ugh! This would mean remembering who I bought it from on here. Just as well I never clear out my PM box!

I have a preamp that I am thinking about sending back to the manufacturer to be brought up to present spec. He is in the USA. Am I going to get smacked about for import duties at both ends or is there a way around it seeing as I own it and have paid full whack for it? I am not importing it. TIA.

Low Achiever.

Anyone bringing anything to sell? Should I bring pocket money?

Some of us live REALLY far away from any decent set up bods. Would anyone know of a good local set up bod who would come in and charge individuals by the hour to do setups? We could book basses in beforehand.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1483367189' post='3206533'] From 1965 I've only had four amps, and while I've built hundreds of speaker cabs of all types I've only used perhaps eight. [/quote] I am genuinely interested to know what they are.
