    Yeah, sounds like a Scarlett will do what you need @ped, for transparency I do indeed work for Focusrite and I’m only here because our products have already been mentioned. Scarletts come with everything you need to record, including DAW’s, plugins etc. If you get a 2i2, your friend would be able to connect the bass to input 1, and assuming that the vdrums have a single output, the drums to the second output. If the drums have multiple outputs, then you’d need to consider an interface with more channels perhaps. Anyway, as also mentioned, it would be possible to also just use the interface to play along with Spotify, you monitor your signal direct from the Scarlett, so zero latency. You only introduce latency if/when you monitor your signal via a DAW, and you’d only do that if you’re recording (sometimes) or wanting to hear your signal through an amp sim/effects etc. I would argue that if they’re a beginner, they won’t beed all that and just a dry signal along to Spotify will be grand. Any other questions, feel free to drop a PM. Si

    For a while they made the Steve Bailey signature 6. Looks ok to me, can't have sold many though: Si

    Last batches were 1st Nov and 1st Dec, so with the understanding that Christmas/New years probably stopped 1st Jan happening, but complete and utter guess would be 1st Feb. But if you follow them on Facebook, Tom will announce it there when he's ready. Si

    I'm a huge Bartolini fan (and endorser, for transparency), so my vote will go with them. Ultimately it seems you've answered your own question, you know it well, and it has features that are useful to you. Unless you feel it is lacking in some way, ie enough to try something else, i'd order the Bart. Si

    I think standard spec is 1 5/8"....or 1.625.....or 41.2mm I agree though, my MW is a wonderful combination of chunky and very playable. All Lakland 44-01/44-02/44-94 are 1.625, super comfortable and playable. 44-94 are obviously US models, so whoever ordered it might have custom-spec'd something else, but as standard they're 1.625. Oh and their 44-51 is 1.625 as standard too. Yes I know it's 1.2mm more than the thread is asking for, but my fave 4 string necks! 😊 Si

    I daren't ask, but do you have a weight @Daveybm? Si

    Demon FX D7K

    Sibob replied to Rubbersoul's topic in Effects

    Isn't it the case that it's actually quite difficult to defend one's IP in China (where Demon seem to be based), as such, it's probably not worth Darkglass' time and money to go after them. For the sake of a few quid, i'd rather just get a used Darkglass pedal and know exactly what I'm getting. That said, Demon FX' tagline is extremely compelling: "Make a good product, so that everyone can use the good product" 🤡 Si

    If it's not tightening up the power socket inside the enclosure (I think the nut is inside on that style), then it would be a super easy fix to replace the socket. Just incase that changes your decision to sell. In any case, GLWTS, very cool pedals! Si

    I prefer it without the plate, but wonderful looking Lakkie regardless! Si

    Of course, there might also be discussion in what is lacking from your basic tone that makes you feel like you want an octave always-on in the first place haha. Si
  11. Sibob
    Have you spoken to Max at SFX to see if he could create a custom, variable, version of the Thumpinator? Si
  12. Sibob
    Also, forgot to mention, the feel of the back of the MV necks is fantastic, second only to my Lakland US and even then it's close. Really nice feeling finish, a joy to play! Si

    I wouldn't necessarily go by the BD measurements, the MVP62 is based on a '62 spec Precision, which would have been 44.45mm nut, or 1.75".....a 'C' width nut. Annoyingly the don't list an official measurement on their website, simply an oversight I reckon. 70's spec is listed on the MV website however, at 42mm (1.625″) nut width.....a classic 'B' width nut. I found the MVP62 very comfortable, and would have quite happily continued to play it, I've had a few other C width neck basses previously, Lakland, Fenders etc. However I do have a mild preference for that 1.6" width, my '71 P has it, my Lakland 44-PJ has it, my Serek has it, all by no design.....apparently I just gravitate to it haha. Si

    Yes as far as I'm aware, BD are the only UK stockist for Elrick and MV (ModernVintage is a joint venture between John Files and Rob Elrick). You could try going direct, they ship (very quickly) to the UK, which is how I get mine as I'm friendly with Rob. I had a MVP62 in Shell Pink and it was a wonderful bass, I had to sell it, along with my Moollon P, when I bought a house in June. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another at some point though, I'm particularly interested in getting hold of one of their new 70's spec Mocha P's. Yeah, if you want something P orientated @ossyrocks, you can't go wrong with them I think. Highly recommended. Si

    I know it's not an ABM, but has anyone got an ANT? Are they any good? Thinking it might be a gigbag solution (Mono Classic) for small acoustic type shows in London and small rehearsals etc?! Si

    Similar experience with me, I had never tried a Fodera that I thought "Yeah I'd pay that amount of money for that bass", wonderfully built, impeccable quality etc....but just didn't light that spark for me individually.......... Until I played a Matt Garrison Standard 5 string at Bass Gear (RIP), that was an incredible instrument that I then ended up ordering, through them, from Fodera (as the shop one was already spoken for). As it happened I was in New York about 1 month before the completion of the bass, so did a tour, had my picture taken with the nearly finished bass. Lovely people, fantastic place. If I was well-off, I wouldn't have sold it 2 years later, but as i'm not.....it was sold in readiness for my son being born. Oh and the Smugmug hosting site is very much Fodera's platform for hosting their various 'new born' bass photos. Si

    Probably. They make a helluva bass! Si
  18. Sibob
    That’s just a 44-64, but with a Darkstar/Bisonic pickup. You have two options: 1) Find a stock US or Skyline 44-64 and mod it yourself, Guild and Curtis Novak sell their versions of the Darkstar/BiSonic pickup. 2) Have Lakland USA build the bass for you from stock….although they may ask you to source the pickup to be sent to them. Si

    Ooo, is that the one from Andy Baxter’s? Soooo nice! Si

    I mean, for me, partly the price is due to never needing to change them, similar to flats. When they go off, they do so in a really musical and toneful way. So really, you're saving money over roundwounds haha. My experience of them has been very pleasing, I love how flexible they are, and they sound amazing on recordings and through an amp. What I will say, is that because of their very low tension, instead of finger noise, you do have to be careful of 'acoustic clatter' if you have a heavy touch. Either you have to be comfortable with adapting your approach, or already be a light-touch player. But if you can make them work for you, they're wonderful strings. Black Nylons much the same but without as much brightness, I've got a P strung with them all over the new Jocee recordings.....but unlikely to be released until 2023. You can hear the Gold White Nylons on my active Lakland 55-01 (US Dual Coil Barts and NTMB Pre) on this track here: Si

    Gah, could you just shave a pound off the weight? 😂 GLWTS Si

    SOLD Like new with box, power cable and assorted patch power cables etc. There is some velcro attached to the unit, I can remove that if needed. "The DC5 link is a professional, small and very flat power supply for effect pedals with 5 isolated outlets. Being only 31mm high it fits under the flat Pedaltrain nano, mini, new nano+ and all metro boards. It offers voltages 9, 12 or 18V and has a total output current of 900mA. The top two switchable 9 or 12V outlets can power any two Strymon, Eventide or other two medium to high current pedals. The middle outlet in 18V setting can power one or two dirt pedals, Pigtronix, MXR or other 18V pedals. The bottom two outlets configurable to either 9 or 12V can power two or even more standard low current pedals when used with Split Flex or 3-way daisy chain Flex. In 12V setting using Stack Flex, they’ll power a 24V pedal. If needed, all 5 isolated outlets will give you 9V DC in the default position of the settings switch." The price includes delivery in the UK. Stock photo for now, will upload one of the actual unit this evening. Si

    Not me I'm afraid. Lovely looking Precision though! Si

    Hi all, Anyone have any interest in giving these a go? These: https://www.labella.com/product/dt54/ I had them fitted to a bass for a few months in drop C# tuning, however the bass has been sat in my cupboard unused and is now being sold in standard tuning. As such these are cut for a 34" neck, 2+2 headstock. The strings have had a tiny bit of use at home, probably about an hours playing. They do not have the packaging, they're just coiled up at this point. £10 inc postage. Cheers Si

    Now setup in standard tuning with Elrick 45-105 nickel strings. Si
