Watching ian talk about this pedal and the unique boost cut mechanic, I was intrigued. Then I saw the price. Nope 🙂↔️ 🙂↔️

Hey Steve! Yes, your cabs will be along shortly... Thanks for checking in to the channel, much appreciated! -
Whoa, not often a real one is seen up for grabs -
They have reversed the placement of the handle and both sets of feet, so they are fixed on the opposite sides to where they used to place them. I don't understand why they would do this, as nobody is now able to mix older One10's with newer One10's, as I have tried here. I am within my rights to ask for a refund, as it's just been delivered today, and I ordered it online through their website, so I have 14 days to ask for a refund and another 14 days to return it. I would also accept a replacement cab, but it's taken more than 10 weeks to get this one, I'm not sure i want to wait that long again!

This looks like a lovely example. Has the EMG logo simply worn-off the pickups? I was fortunate enough to own a transitional XL2 for a while. They sound like nothing else, in the best possible way, for me. The downside was ergonomics - a personal issue, but I simply couldn't find a way to make the bass easily/comfortably playable either sitting or standing (using the plug-in hardware seen on some transitionals). Plenty of others had no problem throughout the '80s and beyond. Rare and desirable - the first serious and successful iteration of bass guitar design IMO

I was lucky enough to watch the interview at the time, but I'll be revisiting it thanks to this video. Mike's content is always interesting. I've starting tuning in to his Youtube live stream, which has now moved to the more convenient (IMO) Sunday evening. He seems to have concentrated on basses in recent times, but I think he might be reviewing some bass cabs any time now. -
That's the problem with unclear language. Yes, they are in "use", but remain untouched. They're so-called "sympathetic" strings. I'm sure Wikipedia has an article about these.

I built a CNC machine as a lock down project during Covid. It had a cutting area of 800mmx600mm, it was fun to build and the aim was to design a machine to cut foam for tool drawers, it didn't really do the job I thought it would do, and whilst it was a great learning experience, I have the machine away to the local school to make better use of it. As I was doing anything with bass guitars then, building a bass from wood with a CNC machine wasn't even a thought. If I was going to do anything with a CNC machine, I would go for something decent such as the X-Carve that @Richard R has commented on. I did just check it at https://www.inventables.com/products/x-carve-1 and it appears that the nice entry level kits have been discontinued and they are moving to the X-Carve Pro which are bigger and more money. However there are other kits or systems out there to replace the entry level stuff. I wouldn;t suggest making your own though as I did Rob

That was probably Terraplane back then. Thunder are quite a different proposition! Enjoy the listening and thanks for the kind words. Cheers!

Very Nice... But i'll have to stick with my Hohner B2, and Myopia 🤣

Regarding the price..... It is cheap compared to a Noble Di. 😀

Warwick / Hipshot Xtender issue - help advice.......
Andyjr1515 replied to Shaggy's topic in Repairs and Technical
I don't know for sure - and don't have a Hipshot here - but having fitted them to a number of my own basses and builds, I think you would have the same problem. -
I’m probably stating the obvious but has it been made the opposite way round Rob

Why is it when you buy just one pedal you have to keep buying until the pedal board is full.

Most of my builds have been neck-through but, when I was asked to build a bolt-on neck or do a major repair, I have always used screwed-in inserts and machine-screws. Whether it adds anything the human ear can pick up is debateable but a tight joint will certainly suffer less string vibration losses than a loose one - and you don't have to worry about stripping threads with proper inserts.

After two and a half months waiting (ordered 1st November), my new One10 was delivered 30 minutes ago. To say I'm a bit gutted is an understatement. New cab on top. Could you live with it? I can't, I've asked for a refund.

Just another reason Reverb's the place to shop

It's changed selling prices as people put things up at really high prices and then slowly drop them until they get a bite - it's a very different process to ebay. Or here! I'd always rather sell here, but it's easy for listings to get lost -

Steinberger XL2 1987 A rare opportunity to buy a 80s iconic bass. I’ve have been asked to sell this on behalf of a friend. I was playing at my local pub just before Xmas and the landlord said to me that he had a Steinberger upstairs. I asked him how /why and he said that he bought back in 80s just to collect . I took it home and since had it all checked out by a local collector expert. So based on the serial number it was made end of April, beginning of May 1987. It’s not been played in years but I just put a new battery in it and it played (still in tune!) The only problem is it didn’t come with the backplate. But has got 2 metal aftermarket bars that I believe to be a replacement. I have since found a guy on BC from Finland that can make them from a mould he has but he said he needs the weather to warm up before he can make one. (120euros + shipping) So I’m putting the feelers out there. A chance to own a rear 80s iconic bass. He is looking for offers around the £3k price and includes hard case and gigbag. If you are interested I have the bass in Hove Sussex if you want to come and try it .

For those not on IG, he said transformer is custom order. Pots used are rotary dials with good quality caps on each EQ points. Knobs are custom order. I bet they will not produce a lot of it so profit margin might not be as great as opposed to being mass produced. IMO it is a niche product anyway for people who likes a Neve/API hybrid but cannot afford the real thing. is $750 justifiable? maybe, maybe not. But some people are ok with spending a lot more for stuff that are just a tad better if not just the same. Otherwise, noone will buy vintage basses. or branded underpants.
