Under what circumstances would you leave negative feedback??
pantherairsoft replied to TheGreek's topic in Site News
[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1346069635' post='1784768'] Agreed, but is this really likely to be a problem in practice? Who would leave negative feedback if a buyer (say) didn't turn up but called to explain why with a genuinely good reason. But even if they did, the buyer could reply to the negative feedback explaining the reasons. Again, both sides to the story could be posted in the feedback. [/quote] This is the main problem. It's always been a BC policy to say that if you have an issue with another member it should be dealt with by PM and not voiced as public argument. This tends to end with both people setting their differences, or a moderator being notified of X, Y or Z. I would hope the same is true after transactions and if someone wasted your time you'd find out why in private. If you were unhappy with the response posting negative feedback is not going to help as you already know their side of the 'argument' and disagreed with it enough to leave negative feedback! If a situation was enough for most people to feel negative feedback needs to be left it means they had a bad experience and both sides presenting their sides of the story on a public forum will result in nothing but an argument. Neither side will see the others point of view and the feedback forum will become a bigger battleground than Off Topic! As a public discussion forum that does not have advanced software or a workforce to police a set system (lke eBay for example) the current process has to be subject to some specific rules and this is one that so has has shown that if it is not adhered to more problems occur (as it's been mentioned feedback in the past over non-transactions etc. has resulted in serious fall outs). -
Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
pantherairsoft replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
This is what me and TaySte were playin around with this afternoon... [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/5CE956FE-FF84-4202-8FE8-088C07266402-9306-00000AE7FE6D7C8A-1.jpg[/IMG] Impressive results! -
[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1345981459' post='1783730'] Nobody's mentioned the Eventide Pitchfactor... Just wondering how it stacks up against those listed above. [/quote] It blows the socks off all of them and nails pretty much every tone other than that famous OC2 -1 octave sound. Buying a Pitchfactor to be just an Octave pedal is however a tad OTT! It's really stunning but does so much it could replace a large part of many pedal boards... And costs a bomb!

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
pantherairsoft replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
It's been far too long coming... but here is a new instalment of my Signal Chain BASSics series. This time around it's discussing my obsession - pitch effects! [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/signal-chain-bassics-part-viii-pitch-effects.html"]Shep on Bass - Signal Chain BASSics, Part VIII: Pitch Effects[/url] It's been a long time since I published part VII as the interviews I've been doing have taken up so much time. I fully intend to get back on the ball with these though, along with a pile of pedal demos. -
Stupid daisy chain/power question
pantherairsoft replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Repairs and Technical
The 'out' socket was to allow you to run a daisy chain or link cable from one pedal when you were using a regular single power supply rather than one designed to have a daisy chain plugged into it. Either way (a daisy on the power supply or from the pedal) will get you the same results. Be wary of using a daisy chain other a supply that does not offer much mA/juice for your pedals or that is not designed for a daisy chain - while it may 'work', it may also get hot/noisy. As for your patching - they should all work together... I would say something is not connected correctly. Everything powered up? Volumes up? Changed cables? Double checked correct ins/outs being used etc? Shep -
I understand it's the same engine as the a whammy DT (without the detune etc). If so, it works very well with bass (I had a DT for ages). There is a cut in the super highs which you wouldn't notice in most cases unless you run the whammy AFTER dirt pedals (which add high end harmonics) and have a tweeter on your cab. Running it after dirt is not recommended by Digitech anyway, but in this rare combination you hear a drop in highs when you turn it on. In all other situations it's pretty awesome and the tracking was pretty good all over the bass.

LS-2 is a swiss army knife of pedals. Seriously good for it's money and size. Perfect for what you need plus a million other tasks as well! Fpr the price you can pick one up 2nd hand (£40ish) you can't go wrong.

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1345794954' post='1781541'] Is that a 2 band EQ? Oh, and when will we see this "ramp" we've heard so much about?... [/quote] It's a 3 band Bartolini NTMB. Volume, Pan, Mids (with push pull for 2 centre freq's) and a stacked bass/treble knob. The pups are Roscoe spec'd Bart's (only available on Roscoes). A small hole will be drilled shortly to add an active passive switch that I have requested as I prefer a switch to push/pull knobs. As for the ramp - very soon I'm hoping!

Yeah guys. I'm super happy with how it's looking. That fretboard is still to be oiled so it'll darken slightly and grain should pop. Lookin forward to seeing the Maple/Purple Heart 7-piece neck on the other side!

That's fairly accurate summary!

Well... Final assembley (and laquering the headstock) here we come...

I have [s]three[/s] 2 GigRig Virtual Batteries up for grabs (Maybe a couple more coming soon). These can be added to a 9v power supply to isolate the pedal (so you can use a pedal that doesn't like to share power supplies on your daisy chain) and also make the pedal act as if it was being powered by batteries as many older pedals sound much 'fuller' when powered with a battery vs a power supply. Really useful if you have the odd pedal that gets all whiny with a shared supply. These have been used by are in perfect condition. I am asking £20 each including postage in the UK, which is a saving of £15 off a new one!!! It's the VB-DC version (not the voltage sag or AOK version) seen on this link: [url="http://www.thegigrig.com/acatalog/PS_Virtual_Batteries.html"]http://www.thegigrig..._Batteries.html[/url] Next up are 10 Straight George L's plugs. Everyone knows what these are. All in great condition. I'm asking £3 per plug plus postage. But them all and postage is on me. Shep

Shep on Bass - Interviews about effects!
pantherairsoft replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Effects
Thanks dude! -
I'm told it'll be complete within the next week or so. Finishing touches to next happening now, then final assembly. There may be a slight wait until the next shipment is due to come into the UK to bass direct though so I'm expecting to see some awesome pictures in advance of having the instrument in my hands.
