Some more fresh pics from Robbie... Neck pocket routed and ready to go...

[quote name='Higgie' post='891910' date='Jul 11 2010, 12:30 PM']Really liking that Bugcrusher! Instant GAS! Just checked out the site and apparently no longer in production. B*llocks [/quote] Hexe still make the bitcrusher III for €199, which I hear is just as good! Shep

If you refer to the BG500 210 (or 115) then yes. I received mine last week as I was lucky enough to win one from TC! I have played the RH450 and thought it was 'OK'. The combo however is fantastic. It seems to be more sensitive to adjustments in volume and tone. The amount of volume on tap is absolutely crazy! To my ear this is tonally much tighter than the head and cab as separates… maybe because that cabinet is specifically for it, but all round I am VERY impressed. Should have some sound samples this week.

I want a bugcrusher… that sounds awesome :-)

Matching control cavity cover...

The BG500 arrived today. Lovely bit of kit. Only had chance for a quick test and so far I'm very happy. Tonaly it is totally different to the EBS sound I am used to but the combo's ability to handle the low B is very reassuring. Given this is going to be used exclusively for my drum and bass project I am very happy. The EQ storage ability and the tuner is a great touch (shame that have not theought about us 6 string players though as it tunes B-G). I have been asked to do a full review which I shall do and post in the review section after a proper rehearsal tonight and also to record a short vid which I will do later, which I understand will be for the TC Electronic YouTube channel. It will be shockingly bad as its though my iPhone, but I'll do it all the same. They were also kind enough to send me a Tee Shirt and Keychain Lanyard :-) More pics etc when I have time...

Cheers bud! It's nice to get some more pics… You loose touch with whats happening without them and it had been a while as he's been so busy (must be nice to be popular!). Fingers crossed it won't be long until the next update! Shep

Full slotted fish tail bridge... Yum!

A new update from Robbie... Top and Body mounted and glued... Edges profiled and looking awesome... And from the back...

Pics from Bernie… All the components including the thin layer of ebony that will separate top from body And the fretboard/neck

Had an email from UPS with tracking details saying it left Denmark this afternoon. Yay!

Quick pic... Taken at tonights drum and bass jam. It's a pic we are calling the Drum & Bassment. Pedalboard in action... Notice the Fizzhugger AB-Synth raised up on a box to the right of the board. That's being used as an instrument of it's own with loads of crazy NIN-esque noises...

Robbies a top bloke and seems happy to follow up enquiries. Drop him a message on here or an email via the RIM website. Shep

Ha. Cheers

I'm pretty sure he'd make any scale you wanted if you asked nicely... This is a 35", but I doubt he'd object to 33".

The top all sanded and ready for cutting and mounting...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='884468' date='Jul 2 2010, 11:47 PM']Well done man! Congratulations! Can't wait to try it out [/quote] Will let you know when it arrives bud and we can have a jam! (followed by a Bass Direct road trip to celebrate!)

Cheers dudes!

It was me..... Woohoo... Sig updated
