Hi all, It's been a while, but am very excited to present an interview with the bassist from one of my favourite bands, The Dear Hunter. It's currently 1:20am, and seeing as I lost my entire edit of the interview once this evening, after the re-do, i'm afraid the BC forum text formatting is killing me. So please take a look at the full interview on my blog below. If you haven't heard of The Dear Hunter, you'll definitely like them.....seriously....there's videos and songs embedded in the interview any everything: [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/post/130366888058/interview-with-nick-sollecito-the-dear-hunter"]http://simonpoulton....the-dear-hunter[/url] You can also read my past interviews with bassists such as Liam Wilson (Dillinger Escape Plan), Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch), Gabe Nelson (Cake), Adam Burton (Arcane Roots), Jim Creeggan (Barenaked Ladies), Owen Biddle (Mister Barrington), in the archive here: [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/archive"]http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/archive[/url] Cheers Si

Just on some quick searches (am at work), I can only see the usual places stock the Duo version. Si

Are you any good with a soldering iron and small components/PCBs? If so, check out the Fuzz Dog catalogue of DIY pedal kits, you can build an OCD pedal for about £25 or so. You could also purchase a Boss ODB-3 and mod it with the Monte Allums kit, that would probably set you back about £60 with a second hand ODB-3 The Joyo stuff is ok......meh Si

Two from a band called The Dear Hunter: Waves "I thought that I knew love, but it was just a wave crashing over us" The Love "I was 22 when I first died" Si

Both sound great! Very glad I ordered mine now :-D, it should fit in well with my '71 P Si

Yes, great day as always! Those MTD 6s were lovely! Nice to catch up with some people I haven't seen in ages Thanks all who organised! Si

All fuzz is distortion, not all distortion is fuzz Si

I helped design/spec the 66 with Tom @ COG (I have the prototype) so always happy to see when people are interested . Basically the Knightfall is too separate channels, where you set the clipping, gain and volume on each channel, you then switch between the channels. The EQ and blend is then global. The Dual Knightfall is a bit different, no blend, and effectively two Knightfalls in one box, where I kicking in the second runs one into the other.....or run each one on its own Si

I'll definitely be there, but will have to leave about 3:15 or so Si

Not sure I'd go Ibanez, would definitely look at Cort though, some nice basses made in a decent factory. Cort make a bunch of stuff for a lot of other companies! Si

For a cheap 6 string, I'd definitely be looking at a second hand Yamaha or Spector. Si

Yup, my 33" (not standard) Jake P/JJ with Hipshot Ultralites, chambered body & metallic paint (rather than a solid colour) came in at about £875 Si

[quote name='mal2404' timestamp='1442644910' post='2868377'] Here you go Si, it's a real treat. Check out this video on YouTube: [media]http://youtu.be/OmTP1Sbf5Qo[/media] [/quote] Thanks, interesting watch . Can't wait for my Jake to arrive! Si

[quote name='mal2404' timestamp='1442526529' post='2867642'] That's really brilliant, delighted for ya! Sounds like it could not have been any better. I wondered about the maple necks also, great to hear that they are the same quality as the rest of the woods used. (Not that I should have doubted the quality at all really) Speaking of quality I came across a video on YouTube of their production set up in Germany. Talk about craftsmen at work it was really fantastic to see the process involved in the build of each bass or guitar. Between that video and now your post ....................... I wonder how many more sleeps I have before my Jake arrives [/quote] Oooo, where's this production/factory video? I can't find it Si

It's here, headphones/speakers necessary: http://youtu.be/WSL9jALcHNk Si

It's all about the combos! Did you see my video combining the Rat Tail, Demon & BDPG? Si
