    If you have no complaints with the orange gear I would stick with them. Not spent much time with them personally but seen some ace bassists using them and getting some great rock tones. If you have an opportunity to try them out that's always gonna be best.

    Coming from a Warwick and lots of wenge and bubinga this feels very lightweight! 😂 I think it's pretty average though really, my Schecter J4 feels slightly lighter possibly. Ill be honest even with the upgrades/changes I still think my J4 is my favourite but this is now a pretty awesome backup for gigging or if i just need some punchy p-bass magic 🙌

    I agonised over sound samples between the model P, Nordstrand n4pa and Spb3/4. They were all excellent and i feel like the other two actually sounded better in the demos. The Model P however just sounded like it would instantly fit in my signal chain perfectly despite sounding less polished dry. It sounds great and with the Stellartone pot i can get some really nice scooped tones out of the box if needed The Schecter P4 Exotic is great, the subtle tobacco sunburst on the zebrano looks excellent. I've never liked sunburst but this is just right. Really love it, all black hardware is always the way.

    PS only had a quick play but the Stellartone b10 sounds great, loads of tonal options available which (to me) immediately sound more useable than just rolling off the tone. Can get a really nice smooth sound but still keep all the raspiness in there to a a little more life.

    And its done! Need to get some new matching black knobs, the EMG pots have a smaller shaft so they don't fit the regular 6mm CTS or Stellartone ones i popped in. Also still have to decide if i wanna plug the front hole or maybe pop in a parallel/series switch. Ive put crimp connectors on the electronics and its set up so i can easily add a dpdt switch without having to resolder it. Over did the amount of extra wire for manoeuvring so might clean that up soon at a later date! Sounds fantastic though 🙌 will try and post some sounds later.

    Switching put my Schecter P4 Exotic active EMG pickups and electronics for a passive Dimarzio Model P with a volume and Stellartone b10. This will leave me with a hole in my pick guard, was thinking of using it to fit a series/parallel switch. I know it's sacrilege but the slightly less punchy full range tone parallel gives with these pickups is actually pretty useful. It'd be a bodge but i could fit a standard 2-way dpdt switch although I'm really not a fan and find myself knocking them a lot. Anyone know of any low profile dpdt push switches i could use instead?

    As a general rule you'd typically put reverbs and delays in the loop because you want them after your amps preamp. I have a really nice preamp which I sometimes use direct into the amp fx return to bypass the onboard preamp altogether. It's too faffy to have as an actual setup for live (without everything in a rack) but I quite like running some light compression after the preamp to tighten stuff up too. Best option is to just try stuff and see what works, there's a whole bunch of ways you order your signal chain to get different results.
  8. MrDinsdale
    Haha its a slippery slope! I think the one advantage of a deeper pedalboard is that you can put always on stuff out of the way where you're not gonna knock it. Also would allow for a little extra space between pedals, especially those with 2 switches as it's almost impossible to avoid hitting both when they're close. But yeah currently trying to apply some restraint 😂

    If I got the OFF1 I think I'd need to try and get hold of a Dunlop expression pedal or something. Pretty sure I'd be upgrading to the Rockboard 3.0/3.1 at that point!
  10. MrDinsdale
    I keep thinking it would be nice to have something on my board that is a little more interesting rather than grit or compression and the OFF1 has me intrigued. We'd have practically the same board at that point though 😂

    Got the model p and the stellar tone ready to fit🤘 just waiting on a vol pot and trying to decide if i want to include a series parallel switch or just plug the unused hole in the pick guard. They don't look as good as the EMG but pretty confident they'll make a huge difference tonally.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Love the Cioks 4, tiny and can be battery powered. Great for small boards like the nano where most others struggle, 660ma on all the outlets is a huge win if you wanna use multifx too.
  14. MrDinsdale
    I've got one with a footswitch that was gifted years ago but it's faulty, keep meaning to get it fixed as they sound incredible. Such a solid head. GLWTS
  15. MrDinsdale
    Hahaha I know, it's getting silly 🤣
  16. MrDinsdale
    Why is this still here?! I love the EAE Longsword but theres always been a little bit of me that was curious about this one.
  17. MrDinsdale
    I think the VBA400 is about 40kg alone, that sounds like bliss!
  18. MrDinsdale
    I'm running a variety of dirt and shaping into the Marshall VBA400. These were the house cabs but sounded great. This is my board. The Longsword is my main overdrive dirt tone, the Model FeT doesn't add much grit but just stacks perfectly. The Capo is just an incredible tone shaper and DI, it also adds more grit when needed 😂 Its a little overkill tbh, I'll probably remove the Model fet at some point. Don't need any other effects but I'd maybe replace with a small volume pedal perhaps.
  19. MrDinsdale
    Rockboards are great, quite a lot of clearance underneath for a chunkier power supply and a thumpinator or a low profile DI etc.
  20. MrDinsdale
    I'm not a fan of the usual dingwall body shapes but the Super P is great.
  21. MrDinsdale
    Got the EAE Longsword, Model Fet and Jad Freer Capo. Also using the Hyper Luminal and a Thumpinator on there. Lots of grit options but a bit overkill 😂
  22. MrDinsdale
    This was monstrous! Obnoxiously loud and punchy, lots of fun.
  23. MrDinsdale
    Unfortunately i think Boss have taken the choice not to include synth stuff to avoid cannibalising their dedicated synth pedal sales.

    I've been on the fence about selling for a while but as much as I love this head I'm almost exclusively using a Marshall VBA400 and this is getting neglected. Selling a pristine GK Fusion S 800 bass head. Super light and portable tube amp, probably the most beautiful looking amp I've ever seen. According to GK: The Fusion S Series Heads are GK’s brand new Class D Model heads with a tube preamp. The rich warmth of tubes combined with the quick, punchy power section that GK bass amps are known for is an experience like no other. These high powered heads incorporate three 12ax7 tubes in the preamp, including one dedicated to the overdrive channel, making it GK’s first ever tube driven overdrive channel. Illuminated knobs add an extra level of sophistication and design by not only making it easier to dial in your tone on stage and but adding a beautiful stage presence as well. Each illuminated knob is also push activated, with additional voicing filters and tonal characteristics built in. Tube Preamp with (3) 12ax7s Four band active EQ Foot Switchable Tube Overdrive with Tone Control (Footswitch Included) Illuminated Knobs with Push Activation "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence" Push Button Voicing Filters Balanced XLR Output with Pre and Post EQ Unbalanced ¼” Send and Return Aux Input and Headphones Output Twist Lock Speaker Outputs 2, 2.7, 4 and 8ohm Load Capacity 11.5” Width x 11” Depth x 2 3/8” Theres one tiny scratch on top (see pictures) but other than that it's in practictically perfect condition. Happy to organise postage at the buyers expense, if it's fairly local I could probably deliver or meet halfway. Open to offers!

    You could just go into the fx return to rule out the amps preamp influencing the tone.
