Excellent outcome and price. Shame Warwick couldn't satisfy a user in this case Si

Love this tune, will take a listen when I'm out of the studio today and see what I hear Si

Can some who's in contact with him now find out if they're at the London Bass Show again in March? I'd send another email, but I doubt he needs anyone else clogging up his inbox needlessly Si

Just remember that mine took 13weeks from deposit to delivery. Some peoples wait is shorter, and some longer I imagine. Adrian will let you know as soon as it's finished Si

Number 2 Always preferred Buckeye a little darker Si

I'm almost at the point where a high-end boutique bass doesn't look right to me unless it's singlecut lol. There are some exceptions, but I do love 'em Si

You cannot copyright a schematic, only layout of the PCB. I could release a B3K 100% schem clone tomorrow and I would have no legal questions to answer if I'd redesigned the PCB layout. Si

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1450355716' post='2931943'] Yep - my own fault. I thought a maple board would be nice alternative, but it turns out I'm dyed-in-the-wool rosewood. Adrian won't send me a neck 'cos they're carefully matched to the bodies, so... here I am. As soon as it sells, my order is going in for another. [/quote] I know how you feel, I've flirted with Maple a few times, but it always comes back to Rosewood or similar species, I do like ebony too. Si

How about a little update to finish the year [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/156zvh5.jpg[/IMG] L-R: 1971 Fender Precision (34") Maruszczyk Jake custom (33") Fodera Matt Garrison Standard (33") Fender Japan Jazz (32") Si

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1450213390' post='2930684'] I find the flat board on my ACG slows me down a bit over the slightly curved one on the ibanez. if I specced one today, it would be rounded. [/quote] Interested to know why you think/feel the flat board slows you down? Cheers Si

Vintage Microtubes or Solidgold Beta with a VT Bass always on?
Sibob replied to HeyJimmyGogogogo's topic in Effects
They're both quite different pedals from one another, but both very well thought of! I think you'll probably do yourself more favour a by getting hold of them and trying for yourself! Si -
So mine arrived today in case that wasn't obvious . I can post a photo tomorrow, however the picture above from Adrian can't really be beaten! After an evening with it at home, my instant thoughts are: - It's light! (7.3lbs) due to the chambered body (costed extra) - Beautiful finish, the shoreline gold (costed extra) is lovely, and the matching headstock really sets it off. - quality bridge, nice and solid. - Hipshot USA tuners (costed extra). - It's light. - the neck was slightly more shallow than I anticipated, which is perfect actually. Really fast and smooth neck. - frets slightly smaller than anticipated, really nice feel. - the above two points are largely born from my '71 Precision being my benchmark, which is a bit of a chunk. - really lovely & dark rosewood fingerboard! - the Haussel pickups sound great through my Markbass practice amp, but the real test is gigs this weekend, I'm confident! - did I mention it's light?! - the 'retro' strap that came with it is stunning, hugely happy with that! - nice gigbag too, simple but effective. Overall I'm incredibly happy, a 33" Precision bass is ultimately what I wanted, and I have that and more . Can't wait to gig it! Si

Hi guys, I made a little video primarily comparing the new COG T-16 with the Boss OC-2. Let's face it, the OC-2 is the benchmark for analogue octaves, and I'm a huge fan of it (I'm the guy who owned 9.....I only have 4 now ) The T-16, really is fantastic, especially with the added filter, very powerful feature. I just had the Nano POG arrive too, so thought I'd throw it in the mix, however it really is a different sounding sub-octave. Anyway, see what you think, headphones/good speakers absolutely necessary, you will not hear much on your phone/laptop speakers: http://youtu.be/fLXzbHRVvfQ Si

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1449846375' post='2927485'] More Ed Friedland comparisons. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMNTN-9SAUQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoJUz1oajXo[/media] [/quote] Seen these before, and I have to admit, the Lull 5 was the only one that sounded particulaly different really, the rest I absolutely wouldn't tell apart in a band mix. So then it just comes down to how they play and feel to the individual Si

I built one of the a FuzzDog ones and it's great, huge sounding gates fuzziness! Maybe there's some extra tonal detail from the specific components Zvex uses, but not circa £150 worth in my humble opinion. But then part of what you're paying for is the hand-painted enclosure, and they do have some cool artists. Si

Whilst there are lots of amazing Precision basses out there (this thread is a little like 'Which family car is best'), I can comment on my experience with ordering from Maruszczyk. Adrian will be your point of contact, and whilst there is a slight language/translation barrier and some short answers every now and then, Adrian is so incredibly helpful and fast at replying he's a true credit to the brand! He has made the process very quick and easy. My build has been 13weeks and 3 days from deposit paid to arriving with me (tomorrow), a little longer than most of a similar spec on here, but I did have some non-standard custom options. From a customer service and ease of use point of view, couldn't recommend them enough. I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on it, I'm confident it'll be great though as, like Michael, I'm coming from a '71 Precision. The other suggestions I'd have are: - Find an awesome 70's Precision - Get a Mike Lull (not tried a bad one) Both those options cost more than the Maruszczyk, but will be awesome Si

Clearing out some more pedals and found this clean boost I built into an enclosure painted by my mate. Unfortunately there are some nicks and little scratches to the finish. 125B sized enclosure (same size as a Boss pedal), but with top mounted jacks. Nice large control. Clean inside, all quality components (Alpha switch, switchcraft jacks etc) Poultone branded PCB (laid out by me) SOLD Cheers Si

Build one yourself for £35 http://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Fat_Furry_Freak_-_bass_fuzz_monster_-_board-mounted_pots/p847124_13048100.aspx If you can solder that is Si

I think we're done here Cheers all Si

[quote name='sellisnba' timestamp='1449654052' post='2925512'] I find it interesting/annoying that we have to pay to sell items. I'm a member of a few forums and BC is only forum where you have to pay. Bah humbug!! [/quote] Maybe sell your bass on those forums then, or ebay? Si
