There was a Yamaha BB 615 in the for sale section at a silly price, amazing bass for the money! Get that if it's still for sale! Even at their new price (GAK had them for £299), the BB 615 would be my suggestion. Si

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1421962374' post='2667268'] The proof's in the pudding, or rather the sound this thing actually makes. Features-wise it's the same as the ODB-3 with the addition of a direct out, so nothing to set the world alight. Especially as jack out' on a balanced line has always seemed a little pointless to me. Still, to my mind almost anything would be an improvement over their existing bass OD. [/quote] This is pretty much where I stand, nice of Boss to have a go though. MXR nearly nailed it, but no drive sound?! Silly Si

http://www.guitarworld.com/namm-2015-boss-introduces-bb-1x-bass-driver-pedal Thoughts? A well needed refresh? Or too little too late from Boss on the Bass Overdrive front? Si

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1421943739' post='2666944'] Well it has got me thinking about the final stock model ;-) I'm now 100% happy with the circuit and it's only details like the channel LED config, knob layout etc that are under consideration... [/quote] Looking forward to A/Bing the release with the proto Si

So I decided to rehouse my BDPG, from the 125b enclosure that Shep painted for me, to a proper Fuzzrocious enclosure painted for me by Shannon. Even if you're not into Fuzzrocious......if you're not into Day Of The Tentacle, shame on you! [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/ayrgjp.png[/IMG] Si

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1421762530' post='2664643'] My LEDs are red & green and I've just ordered matching knobs. They'll look great. Thanks for the info [/quote] Good stuff, yeah mine was blue and red simply because thats all Tom had when we were spec'ing the prototype haha. Maybe it will find it's way to the stock model Si

Headstock reminds be of A-Basses: http://abasses.com/bass.html Si

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1421684041' post='2663923'] Those knobs look great. Where did you get them from? [/quote] You can find Red ones at Dr Tweeks website, but I only found Blue ones at Banzai in Germany. There's a few on eBay, but cheaper at Banzai, so just waited until I needed some other parts Si

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1421553476' post='2662674'] Lot of distortion going on there Kev! Here's mine. Looking to add a delay, octave and (if space is available) a chorus pedal. [/quote] Buy this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/252232-fs-tc-electronic-flashback-mini-delay-pedal-l75-inc/ Winning Delay pedal in a small package for the little space you have left Si

Decided to change up the knobs on 66 #1, just to match the channel controls to the LED colours....helps quick changes on stage when I can't remember which is which lol. [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/2aeumma.jpg[/IMG] Si

1971 Precision Fender/Warmoth P/J Yamaha BB 615 Fodera Matt Garrison Standard (incoming) Pretty sure that covers anything ever Si

Just thought I'd post my experience when I took my Jazz bass to Wooten Woods, I don't think I've posted it in this thread. I essentially decided to not trust American Airlines (who's website states that instruments go in the hold anyway), let alone their internal US flights! Tiny tiny planes. So I took the neck from the body, took tuners off the neck, and basically stowed it in my main luggage case. The body was no issue, and the neck fit snuggly from corner to corner diagonally. I wrapped them both in clothes to protect further, as well as a cheap gig back wrapped up. Got to hotel, rebuilt it, jobs a good'n. No conversation with airlines, no worry about the bass getting through about. Obviously not possible with neck throughs Si

Can you imagine the stampede if they got Pino? Si

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1421329772' post='2659916'] I think Andrew McKinney who plays with the James Taylor Quartet uses a JV a lot as well. [/quote] Yeah, he has pretty much the same setup, uses his JV as a backup to his '62, for overseas gigs etc. From what I understand anyway Si

[quote name='BassHappy' timestamp='1421283352' post='2659508'] New Gibson Les Paul basses are mighty nice shorties: [url="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015-Memphis/ES-Les-Paul-Bass.aspx#BALP15GTNH1"]http://www2.gibson.c...spx#BALP15GTNH1[/url] [/quote] They look lovely!! But I think they'll struggle to find their market at $3000? Si

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1421323191' post='2659791'] I should have put my comments in context with my situation which is basically a 'hobby' bass player. In the bands and venues I play in it won't matter. I know that professional players have a different set of expectations put upon them, my very best friend does session work and writing and there are certain instruments he 'must have' for certain jobs and a lot of the time they do need to have the right logo on them to be taken seriously. [/quote] I have a friend who is a VERY busy London 'session' bassist with some big pop acts, he often can be seen out with his Squier.......yes it's a JV, and its a backup to his '63......but still, no-one tells him not to use it because of the name on the headstock Si

I actually think Squier has got a great name for itself at the moment, I don't think anyone would actually blink an eye if someone turned up to a Pro gig with a CV Jazz (as long as they can play ). Si

[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1421316544' post='2659669'] I have been looking at Fodera and Pedulla basses and talking myself out of buying one, (it helps that I'm not a fan of wood finishes on basses). [/quote] All I can say is that I'm sorry: [url="http://www.fodera.com/monarch-standard-classic/"]http://www.fodera.co...andard-classic/[/url] Si
