Why does Thomann take so long to despatch?
lemmywinks replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I ordered from them on the 6th (evening though) and it was despatched the next day, just been delivered about 1hr ago. So basically 5 working days which isn't too bad. -

This has been partly brought on by the insistence of Fender/Gibson for stores to have entire walls of their product. Now, I like a good Fender as much as the next guy but I have no desire to see a wall of them so I never visit. Shops with a wide choice of brands, a good used section etc will always win out for me...... be they specialist stores with a wide range like Bass Direct, Gallery, BassBros etc or a more general music store with a decent range like RichTone or Andertons.

It's a shame but like others have said I've barely been to the Bristol store since they move to Temple Meads as its a pain to get to. I've bought a number of bits from them over the years and they were always helpful.

I meant to also say that I intended to drop into the Birmingham PMT at some point - they moved to just inside the CAZ from just outside it, so as we didn't have a ULEZ compliant car I didn't, and after we finally got a compliant one I never got round to going there. They did have the occasional slightly interesting instrument in there, and in fact I bought my Crafter acoustic guitar from there.

That would be a problem for any music store, keeping 4000 Precisions and 6000 Jazzes in stock before they've even considered stocking Squiers too.

That was a brave post Lee. I feel for you, and what you must be going through at the moment. I'm just out of hospital now, and I'm on the mend but still taking it easy. I know you have a gig tomorrow, so good luck with that, but I'll say that when I was your position a few years ago, I found solace in music and playing live, and found it really helped, especially playing live. You ain't got the blues until you've lived the blues man. We'll have that meet up in the next few days hopefully, it will be good to see you and talk. Until then, stay strong. Rob -

Intonation set up on Cort B5 Element
neil___lien replied to neil___lien's topic in Repairs and Technical
Yeah i agree that it is very unlikely that the bass would have a fret distance problem. The strings are GHS Precision Flats. He replaced the screw with one that is 1cm longer and sent me a picture. The saddle is all the way towards the pick-up, and the intonation is much better at the 24th fret but still not 100% perfect. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the string is spot on at the nut and 12th fret, but flat at the 24th? How is it possible? Anyone else has any other idea than the possibility of a faulty string? -
I have a China made version of this bass, and it's absolutely awesome. Super lightweight - yet the sound is immense. Did some studio recording with mine just the other day, and the sound engineer was mightily impressed with the tone. Easy on the shoulders for those long gigs, great sound, slim easy neck, and with a very different look. Someone needs to buy this bass now! 😀

No response so far concerning the bug in the Hyper Luminal Compressor block. More voices need to be heard, maybe...

Broughton RFE (Resonant Filter Equaliser): LPF + HPF + semiparametric mids
ikay replied to mcnach's topic in Effects For Sale
I have one of these, it's a really unusual and useful bit of kit. The HPF does the usual thing of progressively filtering out unwanted low frequencies, very useful but can sometimes leave the bottom end feeling a little lacking. By adding in a little resonance you can not only tighten up the bottom end up but also retain some real low end punch. The mid speaks for itself, really handy to have, particularly if you have a bass with 2-band eq (or passive). The LPF does the reverse of the HPF, and in combination can emulate a cab sim. By itself it's useful for filtering out unwanted clacky high end or tuning in a vintage vibe. But with the added resonance control, it effectively works like an Alembic filter preamp (or ACG/East, Lusithand etc). By adding a bump at the cutoff frequency you can tune in a vast array of sounds from any pickup. A clever little box of tricks.- 1 reply

@mikebass456 can add me to that disorderly queue. In the meantime, I'd better post a white bass... here's my 25 year old Mexican Fretless.
