If you're looking for interesting and really lush reverbs, check out the different offerings from Mr Black, really nice shimmering and modulated reverbs. If you want to spend a bit of money, easily the best on the market (to my ears) are the Strymon offerings, the Blue Sky and specifically the Big Sky. Si

If someone is not interested in hearing any other options other than the two options they initially supply......don't ask on a forum Si

Yeah, few of us in the Hatfield area, welcome Si

Lovely bit of Rosewood too Si

What were peoples email response times from them recently? I sent an email via their webform last week (wednesday I think), no reply yet. Cheers Si

I've liked this since it was announced/released, and with my change in preferences, the spec is spot on. If I had cause to buy another 5 string, and there wasn't the money for a Fodera or Elrick, this would likely be the choice! Si

It sounds like you can simply open the For Sale forum, close your eyes and buy the first thing you point to (obviously re-trying the exercise until you hit your budget!) Si

What's the budget? What kinds of basses do you like (shape, sound etc), 4-5-6 string? What kind of music do you play? Si

Yes, for me, having a good pedal board is infinitely quicker to setup than individual pedals. And if you set it up with the right power-supply, then you only need 1 extra plug. Now if you play one particular venue that literally has no spare plug.........then I'd suggest a polite word in the sound persons ear to "buy an extra 4 way" would be in order. I've played a LOT of toilet-circuit tours and shows, there's always enough plugs if you ask politely. Anyway, considered the PedalTrain Volto? Same deal as the above, basically a PSU that you can charge and run like a big battery on the gig, daisy chain your pedals, then just get an 18v adapter for the Tonehammer from Gigrig: [url="http://www.thegigrig.com/doubler-c2x17796187"]http://www.thegigrig...ler-c2x17796187[/url] The Tonehammer might run it down quicker than normal at 18v, but hey.....probably going to be cheaper in the long run than 9v batteries every single week. Easy Si

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1469029937' post='3095225'] Buy a 4/6 way extension and a good PSU... You found the socket to plug your amp in alright? Common sense really. [/quote] Yup, this, all day everyday. Si

I had some repair work done on my DL-4 by Martin and couldn't recommend him enough! Si

Why don't you ask Martin? He's a bit of a whizz and it would surprise me if he couldn't mod a build to work better with bass for you. Certainly the original Rat was a low-end suck! Not sure about the YDR though. Si

I'd say you'd pick up an OC-2 for sub £80?! Certainly the Taiwan models Si

Yet people only moan about Foder pricing lol Looks lovely though! Si

Interesting, although doesn't that run into the expression in of another pedal? Si

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1468658362' post='3092391'] Yeah that was the original plan but the Fueltank came up 2nd hand for £60 with the Pedaltrain and the compressor I was eyeing up before the Keeley needed 18v. [/quote] Ah ok gotcha. Wow that's a hungry compressor! Si

So I shifted around my main board to make things a little easier to get to, not pretty, but very versatile!

Boss OC2 Keely Bassist Compressor TU2 Pedaltrain Nano+ All powered by a Fueltank Jr. My gigs don't really call for much more than some synthy OC2 stuff. Otherwise, just the compressor which I only got today, which will be an always on job. Very impressed with it so far, incredibly easy to dial in. Just got to get some velcro and mount the Fueltank underneath and then patch it all in. I've played the last two years with only a clip on tuner, but I'm really looking forward to having a simple but effective board again 😁 [/quote] Nice! But you don't even really need the fuel tank! Put the three pedals on a Nano, and just daisy chain the power to the other two from the TU-2. Si

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1468574190' post='3091833'] Imagine having the kind of money to be able to walk in and just say 'I want a replica'. That is when things are great in life! [/quote] I imagine that owning that bass, the owner probably has quite a close relationship with Fender. A master built is probably 4-5k?, I imagine he might get a slight concession simply because they get to work on such a piece of history, gets their customers excited etc. Basically just Fodera money + the history involved. But who knows Si

If Jason spent the day with it with the owner, guessing that means one of two things: 1) A CS limited run of '59 Protos 2) The owner wants a replica to gig. Very cool though! Si

I don't own any Ashdown anymore, but their service record (and service I've experienced with my previous ABM) is a big reason I'd buy again! Si
