  1. [quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1424870961' post='2701371'] Am I missing something? Surely the point of an effects pedal is that it changes the sound when its not bypassed. [/quote] The reason I prefer 'light touch' compression to alter dymanics more than the sound is that this, to my ears at any rate, works really well with fretless basses. In fact I probably enjoy the light compression more than the ubiquitous chorus pedal. YMMV of course.
  2. I'm rather attached to my Diamond Bass Comp. Quite mild compression but doesn't seem to loose much on the way through.
  3. [quote name='Scott S' timestamp='1424778107' post='2700272'] I'm putting this up for sale due only to the fact that there is one, particular, bass that's out there for sale atm that I need (not want but NEED!)... [/quote] What, just one bass you NEED?
  4. [quote name='stoo' timestamp='1424779581' post='2700295'] Is it possible that's the earlier MB2-500? I thought the MB500's all had the limiter switch on the top? Only asking as I bought an amp advertised on here as an MB500 which turned out to be an MB2-500 when it arrived. Wasn't an issue - it's a great amp and I'm still using it nearly 2 years later... just would have liked to have known beforehand! [/quote] I think it's the gen 1 MB-500 as I've had it a few years. I'd need to check the sales receipt for an exact date though.
  5. Check the website and the build diary too, stunning.
  6. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1424701413' post='2699303'] Me too. Until I saw the price tags. J. [/quote] Mr BigRedX has three of the buggers. How can that be fair
  7. I rather like the GUS basses [attachment=184774:gpic6.jpg]
  8. For sale is my trusty MB-500 amp as I fancy something different. I have owned this from new and it has worked faithfully in gigs and practices. Still in excellent condition with barely a mark on it. Comes with the footswitch and lead (neither have been used). Trades for other amp heads of interest but nothing that you'd need a truck to move please. Here are the pics. If you'd like to see more please just ask. £250 delivered UK mainland OVNO. Thanks for looking.
  9. Virtually new JamMan looping pedal for sale. Used a couple of times but not for mre really. Here's the link to the website info on the pedal: [url="http://digitech.com/en/products/jamman-express-xt"]http://digitech.com/...mman-express-xt[/url] Now reduced to £40 posted UK.
  10. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1424273583' post='2694617'] Not a hijack . if I really like a band, I will still buy cd . Just seems right . Could advertise here? [/quote] This.
  11. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1424335168' post='2695154'] Has anyone actually taken up Joel's offer and emailed him? I suspect he may be too busy to read this thread often. Just wondering really. [/quote] I've not personally, but then he did start a thread on here for feedback so it would be reasonable to expect him to read it.
  12. Yes a bit frustrating isn't it. I seem to recall that one of the themes that emerged from the longish thread on here, last year was it, that reviews of basses that didn't cost £2,500+ would be appreciated, but I don't immediately remember any massive change in that respect. We still have articles with missing pages, thinish content and interviews. My own particular frustration is that some particular visual feature of a bass is referred to in a review and there is no pic of it.
  13. The best thing about this thread is that it is prompting me to dig stuff out of my collection and play the records again. When you think of all the great music out there it's really hard to amke a call on one or two seminal works. So easy to pick something like Ziggy or Led Zep, but every post makes you think 'yeah that is pretty good too'. Great thread, congrats to the OP.
  14. [quote name='paul j h' timestamp='1423726626' post='2688246'] Close to the edge by Yes, the first album I ever bought (as a 14 year old) and I still think its great now, l would also suggest Seconds out by Genesis [/quote] Damn, I was going to nominate CTTE; so instead I will offer up Elton John and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
  15. BF G2 Compact and Midget owner. Together they are great. I've used the Compact on its own but not the Midget; what Alex says above about the Compact sounds about right to me.
  16. Here we go... [attachment=183691:20150211 Final.jpg]
  17. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1398549466' post='2435245'] ....The interviews and features are too short and usually pretty vapid , and, for the most part, the equipment reviews aren't precise enough or impartial enough to be useful. [/quote] Word of the day tomorrow will be Vapid. Excellent use there Dingus.
  18. Not come across RTC before, just had a listen on line and CD is now on its way. Thanks for the heads-up guys.
