...and then I start reading about the Subsequent 37

Really wish I could be there. Janek is one of my favourite players - of any instrument.

Good work! Sounds like you're curating a collection

And still no bids with 5 hours to go...

Yours as in you're the one selling it or you're the one who bought it?

You speak much sense. There is absolutely no way I can justify the ~£1000 used for a Sub37. The Sub Phatty is running at circa £600 used as it is, and that's more than I've ever spent on a bass. Madness. BS2 It is then I can't forget the compelling possibility of powering a BS2 from my pedalboard which I can't do with any of the Moogs. Can't even do it with the Ultranova to be fair. Well, I could, but it runs on 12v and I frankly can't be arsed dealing with the hassle of that.

Why am I getting Sub Phatty GAS when I know the BS2 does everything I want and more? Damn you Bob Moog.

Goodness.

Bit of a late reply but I used to use the Tron Up/Down effect on my Line 6 M5 and I seem to remember there being some kind of level control within the edit parameters? It's been a while since I owned it though so my memory could be less than accurate. It might be worth changing the filter from bandpass to low pass or vice versa. That can make a difference to the loudness of the output but will obviously have the potentially undesirable effect of changing the overall tone of the filter sweep!

I really like the look of that. The matte black hardware is a winner for me but it imagine some will hate it!

And after a bit of witchcraft with distances and gaps, here's the (pretty much) finished product! It all works as planned and I'm very pleased with the result but if I never see another patch cable again it'll be too soon I need to neaten up the power cables but I'll sort that out another time. And with the diagram for reference:

Got some treats delivered from Bright Onion today. Once they're hooked up the only thing I'll be waiting for to complete the board is my Micro Thumpinator. Which seems to be taking FOREVER. The wait is quite frustrating actually. I could have had a custom cab built in less time...

In fairness it seems like any issues people have had with the system have been dealt with in a swift and professional manner by Chris. I don't have any doubts customer service wise. And there are plenty of folk out in the wild having zero problems at all so I won't stress about it.

This is slightly concerning news as I've just bought one...I'm really not a player who does a whole lot of "moving" while playing though and I'm quite careful with gear in general so hopefully it won't be an issue. Fingers crossed.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1497602225' post='3319346'] Space being at a premium for many bass players, my former firm KeyShyyyk invented woolen guernseys with a keyboard pattern knitted in on the front and MIDI wiring or similar coming out at the back. Great gear for live situations, but many punters sadly thought it was just show, and that we had a backing tape. We had two models: - with resistance threads woven in: the WoolKiey, - with physical pressure points behind the wool: the KeyBacka. [/quote] Please tell me you have photos? On the subject of the SY300 - I loosely considered it, watched a few demos, sounded good. Until I saw the price tag and realised I could buy at least 2 small keyboard synths with the money it costs.

Conan speaks a lot of sense here. Excellently summed up.

Just looked at the auction again. I happen to be only a couple of hours from Glasgow at the moment - god help me. My only saving grace is having other priorities at the moment. Saying that, if this were fretless I'd be in trouble

Polytune clip for me. Needle and strobe mode available. You'll never want to get rid of it.

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1497442652' post='3318169'] Credit where it's due: the SM58's been a reliable go-to for donkey's years [/quote] You do have a point - the thing is built like a tank. I remember seeing a video a couple of years ago of some Shure guys burying an SM58 a foot or two underground in the front lawn of Shure HQ. When they dug it up a year later and plugged it in it was still producing signal. If ever there was a benchmark for roadworthiness!

+1. Any time I've lent my MP75 to friends for open mic nights etc. they tell me it's been a dream to work with.

On a serious note though, glad it's living up to expectations! Would you say it cures all temptation to buy a Moog Sub Phatty?
