Wow - look at the seller's Other Items too... It looks like they rate their refin skills at £1k-2k per instrument.

"Complete with Free Hardcase at the Full Asking Price!!!"

Well; v3 was just a software upgrade, which could also be applied to the v1 to make it identical bar the graphic of the case overlay. So, whilst acknowledging that the word "just" there trivialises the effort which has gone into producing that software, it's debatable whether it was a total product new version. Had it, for example, included changing the case to a double-MXR size unit (EH "9" units, TC Ditto x2, etc.), it would've been a significant usability upgrade too. Maybe the next version...

I think the form factor of the EH “9” products is about what it should be. The C4 layout is pretty much an acknowledgement that you can’t control a synth on the surface of a pedal, so it’s scaled back rather than trying to overdo it.

Thanks, I stand corrected on price; I took the prices from online prices listed via a Google search as going to the FI page I couldn't tell if Panda's €300 was inclusive or exclusive of UK VAT, but on second look the Panda storefront says prices include tax. One gripe of mine is that the FI is an awkward size and a lot of the inside is empty space; it can be re-housed in a Future Compact case however: i. the push control knob is sort of in the way then, and ii. it (of course) costs extra money to buy one. It would've been handy if you'd said they're pretty much the same - flip a coin, but perhaps the technical differences do make a difference, or perhaps they aren't so important for shaping/generating sounds in the bass guitar context?

Has anybody compared the Panda Future Impact side-by-side against the Source Audio C4? The C4 seems to have the technical edge, but is that right? From a physical perspective, the C4 is more pedalboard-friendly, though you can spend another chunk of money on a smaller conversion box to re-house the FI to part-mitigate against that. The C4''s MIDI input is USB, which limits the choice of external standalone MIDI controllers. OTOH, the FI has a 5-pin DIN MIDI, but it is pernickety about what you can connect to it (both computer-FI and standalone controllers). The the C4 sells at approx £220 whereas FI is 50% more, at ~ £330. Any thoughts?

But missed by the 2nd post... 🙂

Looks like this is already posted...

To be fair, the description does say "Yes I know it’s a squire it’s the Pete wentz signature collection which is what makes it rare and if you’ve never heard of him then just move on , no need to message me to tell me so. ". But the dumbass keeps calling it a "squire". They have got the "Was part of my late fathers collection" heartstring, though. This did make me chortle, slightly: "Comments from a customer whom bought a fender strat from me recently was wow , what a bass when he saw this , he played it as it was the only bass I had in tune". Hmmm, they say a "customer"; could they be a biz-nezz? Their sold items list things designated "new". (They've sold a number of instruments, but can't they tune one?) All-in-all, there's something whiffy about their ads.

It'd be overpriced at £180.

Picture shows a Fender logo, but description is a vague disclaimer.

I prefer the Ric bass neck to others; it's purely subjective.

Yep - that one smelled worse than an old kipper, bent as a nine-bob note.

Where? There!

I definitely want something to just add a little more crunch. I'm trying out a tube one at the moment... I'll give it a go with the Ric in stereo over the weekend, as I made a splitter box last week.

Do you wanna touch? Yeah. Do you wanna ... (Oops - not allowed!)

I think @ped likes these...

Oh missus Ware I do like your hair cor-blimey...
