    The replacement valve arrived today and it working well and seems to have resolved the noise issue. As a bonus I managed to obtain a NOS vintage Jan Tung Sol Black Glass valve which sounds wonderful. I exchanged a few emails with Nathan of Sushibox and he did offer to refund me the cost of a replacement valve but I told him not to bother as I would have started tube rolling sooner or later anyway. He did say he is planning to move from Sovtek to JJ valves in future. I had initially bought the Grand Slampegg with the intention of using it on a few songs I thought would benefit from a vintage tone but, after playing it for a while, I think it's going to be an always on pedal.

    I did try that. I also tested with both a CIOKS with a CRUX and Truetone power supplies with the same result. I just need to be patient and wait for the world to get back to work in the New Year.

    Unfortunately it's faulty so I haven't been able to play with it. It does pass audio but there's a loud background rumbling and buzzing sound. I will wait a few days until the holidays are over and email Nathan. My guess is the valve is bad and I won't be able to order a new one until the shops open again on 2nd January.

    It finally arrived this morning making a great Xmas present from me to me. I will give my thoughts once I have time to play with it.

    It's unusual. I've bought several things from the US and they generally clear through customs very quickly. I'm hoping it will finally arrive next week in time to be a nice Xmas present to myself.

    Sadly not yet as it's been stuck in UK customs since November 22nd.

    Custom made flight case for Helix Floor. £90 delivered in UK. Absolutely brand new and unused. I ordered a custom case built by https://www.ikarcases.pl/en/ but by the time it finally arrived I had decided to sell my Helix Floor. It is beautifully constructed with a fold-down flap at the rear to allow the Helix Floor to remain in the case while in use. It cost me 250 Euros so grab a bargain. Collection in person welcome in Glasgow. Helix not included! 😀

    Shure GLXD16+ Wireless System - £350 Delivered in UK. This is the new model with an input jack and other improvements. Purchased in May this year and used so little I haven't had to recharge the transmitter yet. Boxed with all accessories plus a NeoTech pouch and a Designacable cable with right angle jack. Bought as an indulgence but only used twice as I generally play on tiny stages where there in no point in going wireless. Potential buyers are welcome to try out in person in Glasgow.

    Well after chatting with Nathan of Sushi Box I have gone ahead and ordered one. I will be able to make do with using the bypass toggle switch when needed.
  12. JohnR
    These went on sale today for $400. I was very tempted to order one but really need a bypass footswitch which this doesn't have.

    I've played DR Hi Beams for a long time and they are the best (for me). I buy mine from the US at fretnation.com to take advantage of much lower US prices. Three sets just arrived for which I paid £78 which included the £14 shipping fee.

    These are brilliant bridges. I add them to all my basses. GLWTS.

    Harry bought my Helix Floor and went to considerable personal effort to collect it in person. It was a pleasure to meet him.

    Price drop to £800.

    Price drop to £800. Line 6 Helix Floor - £850 £800 Delivered in UK. In brand new condition. Purchased only a few months ago. Comes with original box and includes a custom slip cover. This has never left the house as I prefer to use my HX Stomp for gigs.

    I always get excited when I see a new post in the lefty forum. 😂

    I have a custom German Sadowsky due next year. I’ve waited almost three years for it. I’m tempted to buy a new Metroexpress J/M to tide me over until it arrives.
  22. JohnR
    According to an email exchange I had with Hans Wilfer they should start appearing over the next couple of weeks.
  23. JohnR
    He still plays beautifully.
  24. JohnR
    No left handed basses so far.
  25. JohnR
    That’s a very pretty bass.
