I've used lots of loopers over the years but the Ditto X2 hasn't budged from my pedalboard since 2017.

A very fortunate find, though I'm extremely surprised I've not come across you before to be honest, having seen Blacklisters, FOTL, TSPSI and various other bands I'd definitely put you on support bills for over the past few years. Unless I have and forgotten... Which is not entirely unlikely

Edit - You're from Leeds? I feel very bad now. My new band detection powers have failed me.

Cheers! We are indeed based in Leeds. We've played with Blacklisters a few times in Leeds and managed to convince Billy to join us on vocals when we played Berlin the year before last, we've played with TSPSI in London and Bristol and we've sort of played with FOTL if playing the same festivals counts (ATG and Wrong fest). To be fair we don't play loads of Leeds gigs though, probably 4 or 5 a year for the last few years. 

Some more album related videos from the launch gig back in December. It's a pretty rough and ready recording, but came out alright considering it was just one of those Zoom handheld recorders capturing the audio.

I'm resuming this thread only to say that I have your "Bread and Honey" EP and it's f**king awesome!! 

I've had it in heavy rotation for MONTHS

 

Thanks, really appreciate that! 

Here's the final song we recorded in the album live sessions.

This is awesome!! I'd love to know the setup for your bass sounds

Thanks! The previously recorded stuff was all DI'd, with most of the tone coming from a Warwick Thumb into a Fuzzrocious Demon or Rat Tail running into a Rusty Box, then various octave pedals blended in. Lots of the bass parts are double tracked on the recordings. The newest track has more mic'd cab tones, but there's still DI'd bass all through it. 

This was fun to record as I get lots of room to play with my bass sound in this trio. There will be an album following later in the year if this is your cuppa tea!

Some really good sounds coming out of this. See page three:

Damn this is a cool sounding pedal! Really helpful discussion in that thread. Thing is, I wasn't in the market for a synth pedal, but now I am... 😅

Has anyone ordered a pedal with the octave jawn option yet? Mighty tempted to order a Cat King with this option as it'd put 2 of the effects I use most into one unit.

Sorry, can't help with the GK but I have spent far too long watching your avatar going round

Hah! It still gets me to be honest and it's been my avatar for a number of years!

Don't know how old yours is (or whether version I or II) but this thread from TB mentions that some early batches of RB IIs had defective solder joints which caused some problems - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/gallien-krueger-1001rb-owners-did-they-fix-it-plese-help.179487/

GK seem to be pretty good at fixing faulty amps so may be worth contacting them. Polar.uk.com handle GK repairs in the UK - https://polar.uk.com/returns-and-warranty-repairs

Thanks! I'm not 100% on the age of it, but suspect it's a good 5-6 years old. I'll try giving Polar a shout. 

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what may be the cause of this, or has experienced something similar. I've got a GK 1001RB that's started cutting out intermittently, the blue power protection light comes on and then it makes a few popping noises. Each time this has happened I've switched it off immediately and gone straight for my backup amp. I've taken it to two experience amp techs who can't find a problem with it, but as it stands I can't use it for gigs like this. 

Any thoughts / insights would be appreciated!

Cheers

Hey gang,

I need to replace the push-pull volume pot on my Warwick Thumb Bolt-On, I'm now at the point where I have to use switch cleaner on it before every gig. Before I order the pot, I wanted to double check that I'm ordering the correct thing as I emailed Warwick and never got a reply! 

Is this the one? - https://shop.warwick.de/en/Parts+for+Instruments/Electronics+Parts/Potentiometer/MEC+Pot+Volumen+500K-Lin+1+Push_Pull 

Cheers

Whammy and Boss XT-2 still available

I don't suppose you would be interested in a trade of a tc dark matter and some cash your way for the Fredric unpleasant companion.

Thanks for the offer but this one is now sold

Price drops!

Price dropped, grab a bargain!

I recently sold a bass to Derrick. Flawless transaction and always quick to reply to messages Would highly recommend.
