I guess I should chime in here then! I have it, it is a nice bass for what it is. It is not a Ken Smith or a Fodera butI have enjoyed messing with it but have confirmed (again) that 6 strings are not for me. The fit and finish is great on it, the spacing is 16.5/17mm as close as my eyes will let me see. The sound is good. The pre-amp is not a Fodera, but it is not overly noisy - I have heard worse and better. I am going to sell it and will put it up for £180 later on. It is not the lightest bass but as an entry into 6 string land it is very very fine indeed.

Nice rig! How noisy are the fans in the Crown?

A nice 12" cab build with one of these in it? http://www.hypex.nl/product/2012-11-23-13-44-01/2012-11-23-13-46-04/psc2-700.html Gobs of power + DSP on board. What's not to love?

There is no denying it, they are lush.

While Newtone made my F# set they also made me a set of roundwounds to go on my EUB 41" scale tuned an octave down. If they work I will prob go fretted EUB rather than Dingwall.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1413211503' post='2575852'] Here ya go!!! 183 and a standard 130-30 6 string bass set. Low F sharp up to C [/quote] 34" or 35" scale? I seem to recall 34". I went .043 .051 .068 .089 .118 .160 (taper core on the 160) from Newtone and they feel pretty good at the moment. This is on a neck through 35" scale. Obviously I now have Dingwall 6 string GAS.

The Furry Leopard was a total fluke. I got it for nothing, I spent £2K on refurbing it and putting a 5 string neck on it and I have never ever had DB GAS.

There is no one bass to rule them all. It is just fun having a change now and again. You have no idea how a custom will sound until it is built. I know this from expensive experience.

If I was near, I would totally have that just to put in the corner of the room.

I have Berg IP love in my life. Believe me I have tried to find a replacement but cannot. If he made a lighter series I would buy one now. My considered opinion is that the action is in the DSP. Yes, they are great cabs but the real action is in the active EQ specically for the cab and the multi band compression. The real question is how do we replicate that? All the grown up PA cabs use extensive DSP. Configuerable DSP is now available with lower end PA power amps. It is beginning to be possible to run a mastering app with detailed EQ and multi band compression within your iPad. The company say only on recorded material. Others say it can be inserted into another app to make it work. I am certainly going to try. A lot of people talk about pure tone and no processing etc. I understand the argument but it applies to exactly 0% of any recorded tone we have heard. If an IP with less weight is the question, DSP is at least 50% of the answer.

Duo tone ash/alder body thing. If I had paid full whack for a CS P in blonde I would be hugely sad to have a great big go faster stripe down the middle of the body.

They said "No, you can not. Final Touch plays back audio files only. Cheers Support @ Positive Grid" and the app store review says " Customer Reviews [b] broken currently[/b] by Tayeb meftah i used to use Final Touch to finalise my radio show or do postprocessing using direct with audiobus now audiobus is not functional, can't find final touch on input, output or filter chain! please make the module switching area accessible to blind users using VoiceOver thank and hope to see FT comming back to audiobus:) [b] iOS 8 UNUSABLE IN AUDIOBUS[/b] by Erik of ~Anzeigen KINDLY UPDATE _ALL_ YOUR APPS !"

I have emailed them about using the mastering doobrie in real time.

Anyone using the iPad to do front end DSP for their rigs? Parametric EQ + Multiband compression + Limiting etc etc etc
