Hey! I wondered where you’d gone! Hope you’re well? Here are some more pics of that one. It’s a one off Peavey made for Ken Achard (head of Peavey UK operations at the time I think) who was the author of the book The Peavey Revolution. He included a pic of it in that book, and I’d been lusting after it for years. One day it came up for sale and I just couldn’t resist!

I was wondering about that too. I'm no expert on PJB rigs but i think the smaller box also has speakers facing upwards thru the grill part so i'm guessing you hear it better when its on the floor than stacked on the extension cab. Just guessing tho. Dave

Thank you for posting this. Been scouring BC for gigging testimonials for this pedal. I'm in a situation where the guitarist and myself need to flesh things out more than we do already or we consider using backing tracks for some tunes. Not a route I fancy going down at all after having done a solid year of playing to track a very long time ago. Have you had to change any picking technique or roll off any highs to accommodate the pedal so it doesn't glitch out? Cheers, C

Just the good ones 😎 Dave

Oh I should add I want to avoid building pedals for other ppl, not as fun as building for yourself

How does this set up work better than stacked - What's the science behind it?

I have to keep my nails short or they just break anyway.

Just like speakers there is no right answer when it comes to evaluating headphones. However for critical listening when mixing speakers and headphones that make everything sound good tend to be of less objective use.

The first photo is of a Born 2 Rock F4B bass guitar. The second photo is a Gus G3 4-string fretless bass. I no longer own either bass but I still have my two Gus G3 5-string fretted basses which are my main basses when I'm not playing Bass VIs.

IMO Nottingham has an undeserved less than good reputation. However looking back at the the second photo I should have spent I bit more time Photoshopping out all the fag ends on the ground.

I'd say much of your problem is here. Mids is the last thing kicks need. A difficult room plus people that don't know what they're doing. Good musicians/sound techs know how to create space in the mix. A kilowatt of bass amplification is more than plenty for any stage but can't win from incompetence. You say most of your pedals were running hot, that would mud up the sound even more. Roll off some low bass to make room for the kick and go light on the distortion, a little crunch goes a long way.

yeah at the end of my video lesson he says JJ played a knackered old P bass, high action and one finger and so all his tips were bollox lol

Only in America... I do hope no one is so utterly stupid to fall for this. $50,000 would buy you nearly two new Alembics! I bet the neck dive is terrible, too.

I quite agree 👍

@Silky999 You're becoming the single piece body artiste, my friend! That is seriously lovely...

Love the black fretless bass (photographed lying on a public seat/bench ?). Can you tell me what make/model it is please. I don't recognise it. Looks a very cool instrument 😍

Ah yes, the Dave Swift owned one. Very nice basses, they were. I had the Jazz version with the FSR hand oil stained finish. They were based on the American Standard 2012, but had the 2008 pickups, which were better sounding. I shouldn't have sold mine earlier this year. It had a hugely focused modern punch, quite unlike most other Jazzes.
