I would try another preamp tube given the above?

I'm with you mate, and those triangular tuners don't help a whole lot either

What's the saying, plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.....?

I think that one has flown straight over my head mate, sorry 🤔

I've ben pretty disappointed at the crap packing I've received stuff in recently. I know that photo in the O/P looks a bit rubbish, but multiple layers of bubblewrap, despite being a PITA to unravel sometimes, are probably the safest way of moving gear around via couriers, only caveat being if it has cables, careful with the scissors, I very nearly cut through a mains cable that the seller had wrapped rather interestingly

That I will do! Yes I'll investigate what the UAD version does and perhaps have a look at the Reaper version to compare 👍

I hate hissy amps, I can live with it when it's a cheapo or old, but when allegedly high end gear by manufacturers such as Markbass or PJB hisses noticeably out of the box it goes straight back, I'm not going to use EQ to deal with a design or production flaw. Ha ha, nice point, but I think I prefer hum

Yep, the one I linked to above is included in my UAD package also, but I have a similar problem! However, the fact that so many people seem to swear by multi-band compression, even on a speaking voice (which is where a lot of my work is going to be from next month), inclines me to better understand and use it. I'm going to be watching those tutorial videos this weekend I suspect!

No that’s defo fingerstyle 👍

Some 90s MIJ Fenders had bridge piezo and split coil Precision PUPs and required a modification to make them playable, at least if you wanted to use both, there’s a thread on here somewhere 👍

Of course 👍

Now I’ve done it ….

Just asking, prices are getting silly?

No Fender/EBMM/Ric mass-produced bass is worth more than £1500 new

Starting to suspect the BFR and FCS instruments exist purely to make the prices of the standard offerings of EBMM and Fender seem reasonable 😡

Watch the vid

Seems likely

Customer service doesn't come better than Ashdown 👍

Ah, it's a joke, not sure the Lowend Lobster is my kinda YouTuber

I guess this is the flip side of Fender’s conservatism 🤔

Sorry yes I meant 5ths of course, same as 'cello 🤔

And thanks for the helpful posts above folks, I'd completely forgotten about this thread 🤔

It's a fair point, but I think you'e missing something @51m0n, understanding of how to use the VSTs! Thanks for your input above, I'm in the UAD environment, what do you think of this as a starter of the multi-band compression journey? https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/mastering/precision-multiband.html
