Hmmm...... I'm quite happy with the tracking on my BOD. It does lose it's composure on the ends of long sustains with the pitch shift effect that you describe. But only really on the long sustains. I use mine with a Stingray and an active Fender Jazz. I rate it over the EBS Octabass I had before, also the octaver on my MB Super Synth.

The last one on ebay went for £500! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190475864975&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_976wt_1031"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_976wt_1031[/url]

I thought it was a very good ad. Informative and specific. I ruled myself out on the time commitment bit. The ad saved my own time with me deciding not to jump through the hoops chasing this one. I think the picture is a good idea - shows whether I'm going to fit in - should I take a Precision or the Bootsy Star bass (I wish) I couldn't find any info on Shuga Management though....

In this cold weather it's likely that it will need a tweak, sounds like you might need to slacken it off a touch to add a bit of neck relief if your strings are touching the frets. Measure it first, naturally. If I were you I'd take it to a decent luthier for a set up and get them to check the wiring.[/quote] As above! And if the circuit board problem cannot be rectified I'd recommend one of John East's replacement preamps. Stick with it. There's probably a great bass in there once it's sorted out properly.

Perhaps the most famous bass line of them all? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1hI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1hI[/url]

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1033928' date='Nov 23 2010, 02:30 PM']There is some discussion [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=573244"]here[/url]. It's true that the older model doesn't have a "true-bypass" bypass mode, but it can be modified easily enough to be true bypass (I've done the mod myself and I don't know anything about electricities).[/quote] Thisnameistaken, I meant to say thanks for putting me onto the TB thread - but I got swept away by BMS lust Cheers, Derrick

Tell me more type PM sent

Hi All, Sorry to start a new thread for this but I'm only just aware of the possibilities of this pedal and I couldn't find a direct answer in the search engine. What's the difference between the new and older versions of the BMS? How many versions are there? Which ones should I avoid? True Bypass is very important to me and I've read stories about the degradation of the signal when the BMS is in the signal chain but not on. Is this really the case? Your advice and opinions gratefully received! Cheers, Derrick

Oooh I can play in this one..... I have XXX ultra hardcore white bass porn of the highest order from under the counter of the seediest, dirtiest white bass porn shop.... [attachment=62991:IMG_1283.JPG] [attachment=62992:IMG_1289.JPG]

[quote name='lapolpora' post='1001151' date='Oct 26 2010, 02:23 PM']I've just replaced my ER15s with the new HF17s. These sit deeper in your ear and cut out even more than the ERs. Hearing balance still good frequency wise. Also their occlusion properties are better so you're not hearing your own breathing so loudly. These are going to be a better choice if you sing as well. They are cheaper too at £139. I'll be trying them out tonight with my tenor saxophone in a very loud band - so I'll report back again later.....[/quote] Got back from rehearsal and I have to say that I'm preferring the ACS HF17s over the ER15s. Much more comfortable to play in (blasting my guts out on a saxophone). They are much more effective at noise exclusion than the ER15s and ER25s (yes I have them both!), and relieve most of the back pressure in my ear when blowing hard. I don't think the ERs will get much use from now on. Just my experience mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the ERs normally, but the HFs do work much better so definitely look into them.
