Thanks for this.

This sounds pretty cool.

I actually emailed Source Audio with my needs too and their suggestion of which way to go. Their reply is somewhat confusing...

”the Spectrum would do a much closer Moog LPF impression with its 4-pole Low-pass filter.  The EQ2 isn't a resonant filter so it probably wouldn't sound very close to the Moog.”

The website clearly states that you can control the Q of each frequency band, and the sound samples are clearly resonant. Odd.

Yes, it’s resonant.  It’s got a very big peak on maximum. 

Now I’m very interested. As the EQ2 can replace my tuner as well - extra pedalboard space!

Have you seen a video/sound clip of it functioning in this manner anywhere? Would love to hear it with some fuzz and octave before it before taking a punt!

Yes you can but the cutoff caps at 6KHz so you don’t get a full-spectrum sweep. Ironically the EQ2 works better for this as it’s just had a lowpass option added and the frequency range is 20Hz-20KHz.

That’s interesting! However, I’m assuming the EQ2’s LPF isn’t resonant/have an resonance control?

Hi all,

Question for those of you who have had hands on this...

Is it possible to use the Spectrum as a sweepable Low Pass Filter (adjusting the LPF cut-off frequency with the expression input). I've heard multiple clips of it tone shaping in the style of the Moog MF-101, but I'my eat to hear a demo of anyone using it for expression sweeps, like it commonly associated with the Moog LPF.

Can anyone comment on the functionality of that aspect, and most importantly, the tone?

Thanks.

I think that Kev has enough feedback to convince you that he's a trusty person to deal with, but just incase... 

Purchased a pedal from kev. Flawless comms, well packed, posted quickly, arrived safe & sound. Couldn't ask for more.

I think you may have just purchased a pedal I was looking at that would have made me say yes to that! 😂

Ill let you know if anything comes up I fancy, keen to trade as I know if I sell without replacing it right away, the money will disappear into the endless void that is life.

No worries.

I'll try my best not to buy a new one for a few days... give you time to be persuaded

Sold Paul my Darkglass Element. Smooth and easy transaction.

Thanks!

Nice easy transaction with Rich. Nice chap, great moustache, good taste in effects pedals. What more could you want?

Thanks!

Shep.

IT IS MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a suitable trade, but give me a shout if you decided to sell.

Shep

I’ll take it. I’m in Derby, if collection is an option.

PM’d

SOLD!

Sheps a legend!!

Hahaha! You guys!

Legend might be a bit far... I am pretty awesome though!

Now, buy my stuff! Ha!

It’s been a loooooooooooong time since I posted a board here and given the size of my old creations, this might seem a bit tame. But, this is my new essentials board (aka. “I want to sound like Tool”).

I’m super happy with this set up. The space at the top will eventually be filled by an Iron Ether Nimbus. One day. It’s a pedal I had and loved for the creative ambience is gave me. I sold it and nothing else really ever filled the hole.

Board consists of:

Darkglass Vintage Microtubes.

Darkglass Alpha Omicron.

Nemphasis Steam Bass.

Source Audio Nemesis.

TC Electronic PolyTune.

All sat on a PedalTrain Metro 16 and powered by a Cioks DC7.

NOT happy! 🤬😉 Saw your bass advertised and immediately began looking down the back of the couch to try and find the farthings to offer in exchange. Turns out 1) there was sod all there! and 2) you'd already bought it! Darn it I was too slow.....but happy its gone to a good member here. 👍

I used to have a very similar one and a friend persuaded me to sell it to them during one of my "not that bright" moments Here's a pic of my old one and hope you have lots of fun with yours 😁 They are excellent basses.

Really nice. Love the burl underneath that red gloss. 

It's been a while, but this thread need resurrecting!

After an extended stint of having no basses, let alone any Roscoes (I had five at one time!?), life has begun to get itself back on track. I've been playing a Yammy TRB to keep my going while I considered my next purchase, then this came up and I couldn't resist. It's been here in my hands for a few days and I can't put it down.

LG5 Custom (2007 model, immaculate)
Lightweight mahogany body
Exhibition-grade quilted maple top
Trans cordovan gloss red finish
Maple/purpleheart/maple Neck
Spalted purpleheart fretboard
Bart pups
Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
Black hardware (ebony control knobs, graphtech nut)
Strung with Black Beauties, because the black and red combo is stunning

Sorry about the glare on the pics... one of those annoying days, plus it's a REALLY high-gloss finish.

Hi,string space is 16.5mm,

The body is normal like a standar bass

Thanks!

Is the EMG a factory install, or modded later? This is the first one I’ve seen that doesn’t have the pickup hidden under a full size ramp. Also, no piezo on this one?

Thanks!

What’s the string spacing on this beauty?

Also, as it’s chambered, how deep is the body?

Thanks.

Happy with how this is turning out just midi and a few more bits of power to sort out 

Cluster Flux for the win!

Hi, what is the scale length and string spacing on this one? I've seen VB6's ranging from 30-36" and 17-19mm string spacing.

I love Atlansia basses, but these Oxford are certainly at least ... ugly. Thanks for the reminder. 🤮

Yeah - that's pretty awful!

Come (back) to Europe. 😁

We're actually contemplating a move to Germany. My brother-in-law moved there 6 months ago (he got a job with Thomann) and is absolutely loving life. We went over to visit between lock-downs and felt really inspired. It's a serious consideration.

Edit - this thread has gone major off topic!

Nevertheless, cheap they ain't, and even if you bought them direct from BassLab, you'd still get hit for import taxes post-Brexit.

So that €3350 just became €4020. Plus, presumably, shipping and currency conversion... eeek!

This is the agonising truth. At €3100, compared to other luthier specs, it sounds about right. But add VAT once it hits the UK and it’s time to cry. Wish I’d investigated this a few months ago

The current price is €3100 with a finish if your choice. Plus €250 for a 6 string.

I also want one.
