    @Reaper That’s my bad it was your ‘Ear Candy’ reference which, considering the thread title, sparked my initial KX album chat as I thought you might’ve a fan. All this crowing about ‘best’ album servers no practical purpose other than to detract from what the OP and established users think is a versatile pedal. I’d not want to put people off the scent who might otherwise be interested irrespective of the KX connection.

    All I know is that if a proroguing thread is still running you should be fine discussing someone's band origins and former beliefs. Just be careful not to get called out on being something you're not from a post - stranger things have happened on BC threads 😀

    @Reaper @Kev I'm just illustrating that controls are not always meant to be 'set at noon'. I'm presuming you both have had to tweak gear for a sound and pushing a freq won't automatically introduce noise...well perhaps pushing the treble. In relation to the dUg having the mids there to boost sounds like it counteracting the scoop and therefore makes sense to push those to get the desired sound. If it's not introducing any noise then it's simply working as intended. Personally the dUg sound isn't a sound I'd gravitate to but it would be good to hear the range it offers if one weren't a King's X fan.

    My old guitarist had a quilter guitar head and it was pretty loud! Took pedals really well too

    To be fair controls on a pedal/amp are meant to be turned until the desired effect/sound is achieved not to where they 'look correct'! Ears over eyes!

    A rolled fret board just makes a bass feel more inviting and most folk who talk about a neck feeling 'sublime', 'buttery' et al will probably be describing the 'played in', rolled fret board feel as much as the other dimensions or at least I would! Both my main basses have rolled edges and combined with flat wound strings they fell super smooth and very comfortable to play!

    Just a reminder that Bartolini make many, many pick ups and I'd not judge thier entire collection based off a lower priced model found on some lesser and mid-range priced models. I count 8 soap-bar style variations and as many jazz ones too! Might be wise to check what's in it first they might surprise you! https://bartolini.net/product-category/bass-pickups/bass-soapbars/

    I’ve been screwed over twice by my courier this week in collecting a bass I’ve sold. There was a movie being filmed in Edinburgh which may have had a knock on effect the first day (Fast and Furious flick) and the next day I waited all day only to discover they’d called but I never heard the buzzer if they even tried it - I’d even left the front door unlocked so they could just walk in the stairwell. Anyhow the buyer has been great about it and I’m very grateful for his patience. Sometimes things are just out of our hands and it can frustrate all parties!

    There is...or was! I know the statue has been removed a few times due to repairs or what have you. I'm assuming it's still 'all original'. As for who's underneath all that bronze...there was a very well regarded Philo impersonator who's not been seen about Dublin for many, many years......

    You'll have to excuse the terrible images - ripped straight off VHS. HD didn't exist back in 2005!

    Yup mine was a non-original '79. It had the paint stripped and a non-original bridge when I got in it trade for Ibanez!!! The shop were actually selling the bass on my behalf as I was moving to Scotland, where I now reside. They had ot for a while in the shop and called me one day to declare they were gonna buy it. When I asked why the change of heart they insisted I get to the shop and all would be revealed! Here it was before it got bronzed holding down the low end for swagger-core pioneers Bloodbath Callaghan and The Warcrimes

    My old 70's p bass was bronzed and used for the Phil statue in Dublin. My only claim to fame! The guys at the Guitar Emporium in Belfast had Phil's black p bass in the shop courtesy of Philomena and they spec'd mine to match Phil's before the bronze casting.

    Well he's just bolting together two bits of bought in wood when making a bass right? *ducks for cover*

    Extends the scale length on one string only you’d think it’d be easier to move the whole bridge unit back an inch but might ironically have something to do with aesthetics!

    Guitar guitar have a competition on just now and the DTE is one of the prizes. I wouldn’t be at all upset if I won one!

    I played a sado in guitar guitar and was underwhelmed for the cost and while they might excel on a gig it wasn’t that memorable.

    P basses are know for the mid range they bring to the bass sound and band mix. It’s all about the (lo)mids. Jazz basses tend to have bottom end and top end rather than mid punch and on account of this scoop they sit different and aren’t a bass folks would associate with mid punch. Now if you’re playing a jazz with active eq and dial in mids that’s a different thing but inherently a jazz wouldn’t be described as having mid punch. I hear a Sadowsky and I think Marcus Miller scooped slap bass, I hear p bass and I think Duck Dunn! I’m a bit like @thodrik in that folk on forums get all caught up in this that and the other and it’s all a bit meaningless especially when two opposing descriptions of the same instrument are employed. I see it a lot on TB but we can all hear things differently I suppose

    If you have a guitar guitar local they’re doing free restringing with Ernie ball strings. Worth trying a set of your choosing for free!
