I came here after googling p bass control plate template. I'm putting together by first parts bass at, I've got cheap knock jazz bass neck and swamp ash body from boobooguitars. It's got a gorgeous knot on the lower horn that I don't want to cover with a pick guard so was thinking of getting a Ray plate template but i thought it might be too large so thanks @Velarian for the visual confirmation, it would need a lot of fettling to make it look P bass appropriate. Think I'm just going to trace the lower part of a p bass pick guard and free hand the other ends curve as I would like a wooden plate for the controls. I'm going to also make a matching pick up surround as the pick up cavity route is the non eared variety which to my eyes at least is the aesthetic I'm going for this build. @WabiSabi that control plate is class dude!

99% sure all of Nathan's pedals come with JJs, I know the GS had a Sovtek when they first shipped but there were issues with those so i think he went back to JJs. If you ever fancy rolling out the stock 12AU7 i have one of these Brimar 13D5 NOS in my Space Heater (same preamp as finally.)

I'm honestly thinking that this might be my 50th birthday present to myself in the spring!

I appreciate your post. My issue was you calling something marketing bollocks without substantiating your statement, which IMO was very clearly incorrect and you have now addressed. Thank you. The GS is modeled after the B15 but it's obviously not an exact replica, moveover it's Nathan's take on that amp and it's a pedal Nathan designed to be a clean preamp and to utilise the 6SL7 tube. Before the release of this pedal ,Nathan sold a Slampegg Bee Pre. pedal, (now discontinued) that utilised a 12AX7, had a master Vol and Gain and would overdrive quite happily. Link below. All the feedback I've seen is that the GS is a major tonal upgrade and you can stick a boost of some description in front of it and the 6SL7 will break up very nicely (but that tone is not inherent in the pedal). Slampegg Bee Pre Peace 🕊️

What bass do you think will drive this pedal to be not clean then? Nathan states that it needs a pedal to overdrive this, what are your reasons for doubting this? I'm curious what your direct experience with this pedal is?

"It will not be able to break up by itself. Granted running another pedal into it and pushing the front end will still allow the 6SL7 to break up, but by itself it will just be clean" Curious where you think the marketing bollocks "guarantee" was given?

Situation resolved. My credit card company got me the full refund for everything, including the Mooers without having to send them back! note to self: NEVER BUY FROM BAX AGAIN

I was watching one 🙂 Nice one! I'm more after for it's tone sweetening properties over compression, but would be good to hear some more real world bass samples.

Let us know how it works out! I've heard nothing but good about this device. The LA1A is on my wish list (Would love a Doc Lloyd DLA2A but that is firmly out of my price range!

I wish I Could say it was cheap! The bass was the cheapest I could find online inc delivery and decent returns policy, but it was only abround £30 cheaper than Gear4music. They did also have the best price on the mooer POS (It's PO 5 but P.o.s is the perfect name for it!) especially when combining postage. Unfortuately these days I live out in the sticks and access to decent music shops is gonna be a long drive. Do I do miss being a 35 minute drive from Andertons, who I have always had good experinces with even if they are a little more expensive.

To be fair the 4 mooer pedals that me and and my son have have been faultless

When they are not answering calls or emails is it really rash? How long would allow a company to have £1.8k it your hard earned. I did take pictures and videos when it arrived. My comment was why are they asking me for it now after 6/7 weeks when they know it's already been sent back. It just feels like delaying tactics from them. Do you have any other feedback as to what you perceive I'm doing wrong?

I did buy with a credit card! Going to ring them now!

If I was ever to buy a Fender that came with a case, I'd ask for a discount and for them to keep the case!

So I ordered a brand new Fender USA Vintage P bass a long with some strings, earplugs and a cheapo wireless system in November. When the box arrived, oneside of the box was open. On inspection the earplugs and strings were missing. The Fender hard case lid was misaligned and one of the clasps wouldn't open with some giggling. It looks like the box had fallen over and taken quite an impact. Whislt the bass looked fine, I wasn't prepared to keep hold of it knowing that it must have had quire an impact and p[otentially have an issue down the line. Spoke to an agent (it took over 30 mins to speak to someone) who said they would initate an investigation and raise the refund. I had to chase them up to get the return forms (wasn't possible on their website). So the bass went back and the tracking shows they have recived. I was away over Xmas and new so gave them till i came back. No refunds, no contact, nothing, nada, zip. I've spoken to them on the phone 3 times since I retuned and nothing is moving forward, infact it's moving backwards, yesterday I was asked to send photos of the box the bass came in (i told the agent to go to the warehouse and take the photo himself since he was closer to it) and how did he think I had returned it! To run salt into the wound, the wireless crapped out yesterday (Mooer Air POS) and won't charge (that's not Bax fault) but i have no confidence that I'm going to get a refund. To sumarise, 4 items ordered, 2 didn't arrive and 1 was damaged. How long should I wait before I submit a small claims case? I wish I had done some research on Bax before ordering, having now looked into them there is no way i would buy even a pletrum from them, their online reviews are terrble and evey social media post they make the comments are full of people letting the world know to avoid them. As an aside, I was really majorly disapointed in the vintage hard case that Fender supplied, it was absolute rubbish and the bass could move around inside when it was closed! Aside from legal action what else should i be doing here?

Here's Eric Arko's review of the pedal Grand Slampegg

That's a very nice looking board you've got there! From the setting on the stomp, it looks like you're running 3 compressors?
