    Cheers all - really hope I don't regret this but this will be making its way to a new owner.
  2. MrTea
    Afraid not - unless anyone has a Eminance RN4 or very tempting upright then cash is king on this at the moment.

    Original German Fortress Masterman 5 in generally good condition for its age. It's been played so not pristine and does have a few dings here and there. Nothing major and the only one of flag is a small knock to the side of the neck pictures here. You honestly really don't notice this but wanted to mention it for clarity. All stacked knobs work well and the active electronics give a great range of tones. No hard case but will be shipped well packed in an old gig bag and a tonne of cardboard and bubblewrap. I may have a guitar box in the loft although I'd rather take the neck off for shipping but we can talk about how we ship. I'd also rather the buyer arranges their own courier but again we can talk about this. Under normal circumstances I'd be happier with a meet up but unless I'm on your exercise route then that seems pretty unlikely for the foreseeable (and if you're the kind of person who thinks that it's still fine to meet up then please think again!). I know lots of people on here may have an opinion on the price - if you do please feel free to message me direct. I don't see these coming up very often so really wasn't sure where to price it. I've had one or two people tell me it's overpriced but more telling me it's underpriced. At the end of day I've priced it what I think it's worth bearing in mind what it owes me and what I need for the next purchase. Let me know with any questions. Only up for sale as I have my eye on something else. If that sells this may be withdrawn. I've bought plenty on here but sold nothing so it's my first time as a seller (and paying my subs!) but I have a feedback sale for purchases. Listing this on the computer and have more photos on my phone so let me know if you'd like me to send any more photos. Thanks for looking.

    Don't worry my tail is firmly between my legs. I updated through the editor with so much excitement I just assumed that Firmware update would include the patches. I can see it makes sense it doesn't. Thanks for putting me back on the right track.
  5. MrTea
    What an idiot - RTFM! I didn't spot the instructions on the first read of the updates page. Thanks for the prompt - off to give that a go!

    Spoke too soon ... The firmware upgrade appears to have worked. When powering on the FI I now see the 3.00 firmware flash up followed by BASS signifying it's in Bass mode. However, must of the patches appear to now be mostyl dry bass with the occasional one with glitchy synth behind it. Any ideas on what might be happening?
  7. MrTea
    Should have read the manual! For future mes you need to power up the FI with both footswitches pressed! Right - off to see what v.3 firmware has to offer.

    I need some help upgrading - I'm convinced I'm missing something obvious! I've purchased a Roland UM-One and connected it to Windows 10. It did it's thing ad seems to have installed the drivers. But when using the online firmware updater no MIDI in or OUT are shown to select the channels. I tried downloading the patch editor and this seems to recognise the UM-ONE. I've updated the MIDI preferences to use the UM-ONE for all options. Clicking on the virtual keyboard sends a MIDI signal to the UM-ONE as the in and out lights light up but nothing gets to the F.I. Trying to run the firmware updater through the patch editor just says 'communication error'. Any ideas?

    I had no luck updating via the controller keyboard. This might be a silly question which I can find the answer out elsewhere but for the benefit of myself and possibly others on this thread I'll ask it ... Bearing in mind at this stage I only really want the USB to MIDI cable to update the FI is there a big difference (apart from £25) between the Roland one suggested earlier in the thread and something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digiflex-Adaptor-Musical-Keyboard-Laptop/dp/B00K4UXH5Q/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=USB+to+MIDI&qid=1573222092&sr=8-19
  10. MrTea
    Thanks for the quick response. I don't have a USB-to-MIDI interface but do have a USB Controller Keyboard that has MIDI in and out so hopefully I can use that. I'll try and dig out the MIDI cables later tonight and let you know how I get on.

    Mine turned up today - got a good deal on a FI.v1 direct from Panda Audio after chatting with them via their website. One quick question ... How do I know if it's v.3 firmware or not. Gabor at Panda had told me it would be upgraded to v.3 but when I power it up '1.33' flashes up briefly on the screen and from the manual I understand this should be the firmware version. Regardless first impressions seem very promising - I can imagine with some tweaking this will be a lot of fun!
  12. MrTea
    Did someone say there was a way to do a sample and hold ‘EHX freeze’ type thing on the FI.v3? I’d love to know although I’m hugely tempted anyway.
  13. MrTea
    Of course if you’re looking without the shimmer the Game Changer Audio Plus Pedal could also be worth considering.
  14. MrTea
    Doesn’t the TC Hall of Fame 2 do something like this? I think they call it MASH although I’ve never tried it. See around the 10 min mark in this video ...
  15. MrTea
    Not sure if this is the right place and I may be well of track but can the FI do any of the sample and hold stuff like the SuperEgo or Freeze? I’ve not seen anything like that but thought it worth an ask. Also, is anyone using one on upright?
  16. MrTea
    @franzbassist Glad you posted a positive comment 🙂 I’m really looking forward to trying this. I wasn’t specifically on the hunt for a slimline but coming from playing EUB it seemed very tempting. Now nervously looking forward to other responses on this thread!

    I picked up a Raven Labs blender/preamp in a job lot of pedals recently. It powers up in as much as the light comes on but I don’t get any signal through it. I had a friend take a look and he couldn’t work it out either. This was his diagnosis: Unfortunately it looks like a power rail problem. The voltage rails look good until it turns on, at which point the 18V split rail becomes an 8V single rail. So I'm guessing something has blown. I've taken all the chips out but it made no difference. I know it’s a long shot to ask for help with such a vague diagnosis but does anyone have any ideas? Failing that, who in the UK would be well suited to look at fixing this? I’m in South Devon so someone local would be preferable but happy to send it off it it could be fixed. Many help much appreciated!

    Are they good machine heads? The Facebook ad I saw mainly talked about the neck so I wasn’t sure 🙂 As I said above - it’s your call what you do with it. I’m just suggesting from my viewpoint that it’s not in the spirit in which it was passed on to you. Best of luck with the sale.
  19. MrTea
    Aye

    I think I count as one of the ‘shocked lads’ ... Just for transparency I did get in touch with Andy to see if he could post the neck. I totally understood he didn’t want to be thought it worth asking. I’m totally happy he found someone local to give it too. But ... I think there are 2 ways you can look at this: - the neck was passed on to you and your free to do with it as you please. - the neck has been passed on for free so if it’s not for you, you pay it forward and pass it onto another member of the community (either online or locally to you). I’ve had a few freebies off the forums and for me the latter is the spirit of the community here. It’s my choice (and maybe that’s the key) but any free items I’ve had off here if I decided I had no longer any use for I’ve passed on to free to local young musicians or our community music project. If I knew they wouldn’t get used there I’d stick them back on here. At the end of the day it’s your call - but I’m sure it’s easy to see why it might get people querying it?

    Must admit the sceptic in me saw an ad for a squire fretless neck on Facebook this week and wondered the same. But then I thought that’s not really the basschat way ...
  22. MrTea
    Awesome. Thank you kindly - just the thing for the new fender Japan 51 p which arrived this week.
  23. MrTea
    I’ll take them if they’re still available please!
  24. MrTea
    I also bought some strings - good communication and easy deal. Both myself and my 51P are very happy. I can only hope he tries more strings he doesn't like!

    I have a PJB C4 which I picked up from here which I like the sound of for EUB (Knutson Messenger). That said, I still find myself looking at the Crazy 8 or Barefaced 110 and being tempted. Has anyone else compared the C4 with either of those? Apart from a slightly smaller and lighter cab am I going to be getting much difference? Maybe I'd be better to just pick up another C4 ... (maybe I don't need anything else!)
