Agree with the above-mentioned point of the Solid colour/ joins issue. If it was originally natural, it'll be an Ash body and a nicer grain, however it was originally a sunburst or solid colour, you'll have an Alder body (no interesting grain to speak of) plus some obvious joins. Your choice of course, and you don't have to make a decision until the current colour is stripped off. I'd use the opportunity to go for a 'rare' custom colour myself Good luck Si

To me, that video just proves that the OC-2 still has more sub?! Although I will say the Octabvres Mu-tron side, into the Envelope Filter does sound great! Si

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1418471974' post='2630444'] Definitely less than that. It's be cheaper to get a 70's P and get it refinished purple [/quote] Yup, you could buy my '73 and have £100 still in your pocket Si

So which colour is best for metal then? Si

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1418211943' post='2627957'] I hope you enjoy it. The vids don't sell it to me unfortunately. Maybe if I get to try one in person, it might be different [/quote] That's the problem with Octave/Sub pedals, you need to hear them in the same room with a cab! Si

I think MXR make great pedals, the head of their bass pedal department is a lovely guy and a phenomenal bassist. The Envelope is one of the best I've tried and a main-stay on my board, but I just can't get into the drive pedals at all. Si

Just seems a strange place for such anger is all. EB don't have a custom shop, they don't build a bass with the specific set of specs the OP wanted, and the poor guy who read the return email from the OP had to take flak for not doing something that they don't advertise they do. I emailed Lakland once politely asking if they were considering a Skyline version of the Decade Shortscale. When they replied 30mins later saying they weren't, I didn't reply with my 'disgust'. They don't advertise it, why be angry that they won't accommodate it Si

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1417669192' post='2622857'] ......as EB doesn't have a Custom Shop. [/quote] Yet you're 'disgusted' that they won't make you a custom spec bass?! Sorry, don't get it Si

Thanks a bunch guys I have a 1.5mm drill bit, but not 1mm, so hopefully that should do for the pilot?! Cheers Si

When Doug & Spencer started working together, this would have all been covered in the contract signed by both of them I imagine (if not, they're both a bit silly). As such, I highly doubt Spencer is doing anything 'illegal', why would you put your business at risk?! Although morals are another subject entirely. Interestingly, the new Finnish Darkglass pedals still seem to have the relay bypass added by 3Leaf when Spencer started making the B3K. I wonder if the Finnish relay is that design or a new one Si
