  1. Interesting result! I wasn't too enamoured with the PS6 sounds either, both the up and down octaves. Si
  2. I've played this bass, it's absolutely stunning!! To the point where it convinced me to order one! Buy with confidence! Si
  3. Hi Lozz, If this is still about at the Herts bash, I might have it off you. But anyone else crack-on buying it for now if you need it Cheers Si
  4. I do think there's a market for the spec (I would I guess ), and I think that if someone will do it well and this price range it's Ibanez......but it's difficult to see how this particular model got through a bassist focus group?! lol Oh well, onwards and upwards for them Si
  5. Is it worth considering the wording from Parcelforce? They have terminated his contract. It may be possible, that if they out-source some deliveries, the guy simply lost his Parcelforce contact and simply will carry on with his other contracts. In any case, the facts seem to be that someone didn't do their job correctly, within the satisfactory guidlines of both his employer and the customer. As a result of this, he has been let go (in whatever respect) via due-process, seems fair. As pointed out, perhaps someone else in need of a job will continue the job correctly. If he was sacked unfairly, he'll bring it to a tribunal, which he'll get a settlement for and the PR will be worse for Parcelforce than one annoyed customer....... Cool? Si
  6. Does anyone know if Mark just sells bass bodies? Or just whole basses? Have emailed him but apparently he's away until Saturday.....and I'm impatient . If not I'll take a look at Warmoth Chars Si
  7. It certainly will be interesting to see what turns up. For £250 including postage, it's difficult to see how the wood or parts are going to be anything other than average quality. I assume they're CNC machined, again, difficult to believe anything hand built could be had that cheap, wherever it is in the world. That said, those Sires seem to be getting very good reviews, and they are probably built in the same way. Of course, all that matters is that you like it, and it plays well for you! Si
  8. Did this position get filled? Cheers Si
  9. [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1431368749' post='2770612'] I'm very tempted to make the 2 hour 10 minute trip down so that I can,[list=1] [*]Say hello to Seashell [*]Meet the legend that is Lozz [*]Be in with a chance of winning a bass [/list] [/quote] Sounds like a great 3 reasons Si
  10. Yeah was always impressed with the Micro-Pog, that said, I haven't heard the Nano, like you said....new algorithm might have messed things up? Interesting. I had the Boss PS-6 (Harmonist), wasn't that impressed with it I have to say....maybe you'll like it Si
  11. Hmmm, I guess the body shape is reminiscent of the Imperial shape, but that's about it. Headstock is totally different, pickups are in an interesting position (not seen a Fodera with that layout before....I assume because no-ones asked for it), control layout is different. Hopefully it's a nice bass for you though Also, doesn't the new logo look like the Mayones logo? Si
  12. Bass is sold pending usual. Will contact those interested parties either way when the deal is done/isn't done. Many thanks Si
  13. This has one Speakon. I believe it was one of the first runs of Gen 2s. Si
  14. Hi all, Selling/retiring my first Compact. I'll say this first, this has seen a lot of use, it has marks, nicks and missing feet, but it's reflected in the price, still structurally solid as ever and sounds fantastic obviously. So, points of note: The handle (can of worms?!) is having the problems often written about. Still works perfectly fine, but you may wish to purchase Barefaced conversion kit to the new handle. All 4 of the bottom feet have been lost in vans or at gigs. I have 3 spare that I will supply, you could take the 4th from the side of the cab, or Barefaced list the suppler on their site. General marks - this has been heavily gigged, loaded in and out of vans etc, so whilst it comes with a cover, it still has marks, scratches etched pitted over it. Pics: [url="http://postimg.org/image/yzed9sl7z/"][/url] [url="http://postimg.org/image/ug24oa3cf/"][/url] [url="http://postimg.org/image/5pcgagnzj/"][/url] The bottom of the cab: [url="http://postimg.org/image/6y0bw3fxr/"][/url] The Roqsolid cover has a board pocket, meaning you can fit a protective board into it for the grill. I have fitted a cut-to-size piece of light-weight chipboard which will be included. The gaffa denotes the front of the cab: [url="http://postimg.org/image/s542k3skv/"][/url] [url="http://postimg.org/image/5f4xr49db/"][/url] [url="http://postimg.org/image/qel1imb1r/"][/url] Essentially this needs a little attention to get back to it's visual best, however still works great and sounds great! I haven't fitted my spare feet etc as my gigs haven't changed. This cab needs to retire to someone who carries their gear to their gigs haha. SOLD Cheers Si

    Yeah, if you use the LED pad on the board, then the resistor needs to be in the CLR space, otherwise that omission means the led is getting no power (due to the path being broken). You could bridge the CLR with a piece of wire and that's be fine to leave the resistor where it is. Neater to put it on the board though. You can not use the CLR & LED pad at all, but means you have to connect the long leg of the resistor to your power source another way (with resistor in line obviously), usually straight from the power socket. Short leg obviously always goes to the switch. Si
  16. I don't thing anyone is questioning how it sounds, I agree that it actually sounds pretty decent,from that video and their official one, but I think the shape and size of it misses the mark. With regards to the pickups, anchoring your thumb on them to play the E string would suck. Si
  17. Yeah those pickups are huuuge!! I think Ibanez missed the mark on this one a bit, nice idea, but the SR would have been a better bassis for this model. Si
  18. Yeah you totally want this Si
  19. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1431118471' post='2768058'] There is a scottish custom pedal group who make a stonking OC-2 clone, but for the life of me can't remember what they or it is called... Will post back if I ever remember! EDIT: GojiraFX, that's them! [/quote] Not tried the Gojira, seems alright, probably based on the Pearl OC-02 (low and high octave), so not quite an OC-2 clone. I considered one just for the up octave, but think I'll wait for the POG Nano. OC-2 destroys the POG on low end Si
  20. Thanks Seashell, appreciate your input Si
  21. bump Si
  22. My fave reverb to date is the Mr Black Eterna, however thats a Shimmer reverb, at extreme settings it sounds like a choir, beautiful pedal. That is, understandably, possibly a bit more specialised than you're after, so I would definitely recommend the TC stuff (either the HoF or HoF Mini), they also have their new Trinity 2 out, which has a ton of reverbs on it. Must give a shout out also to the Marshall Reflector, discontinued now, but probably still the cheapest of the above, sounds great and has a few different reverbs on it. Si
  23. Yes I've done that excercise with Anthony at Wooten Woods. I was fine at it, slightly surprised myself, but then I was on a 20 fret Fender. Now I'm using a 26 fret 5 string (high C)......it's harder lol....but getting there Si
  24. My '71 P-Bass has a Rosewood fingerboard My P/J has a Pau Ferro fingerboard My MGS has a Kingwood fingerboard .......they all basically look like Rosewood Si
