Nice score!

Stuart is a legend. A lovely man who I've had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions..... and one who not only cares about his instruments, but also his customers. The customer service he and PJ provide is second to none!

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1446373444' post='2898798'] Not read the whole thread but the best tribute band I ever saw many moons ago was dressed to kill a Kiss tribute and "Gene Simmons is a BC member how cool is that [/quote] Cheers chap! That's me Doing a tribute properly is about so much more than just playing the songs..... it's about making the effort with the 'look' and/or 'production', using the same instruments and recreating the 'vibe' of the original act amongst other things....

My February order can't come quick enough!

Just ordered mine. First batch have all sold out within 2 days so mine will be in Feb batch....

Gotta have me one of these!!!

Yep, tried that..... I decided to try the MXR as a shop local to me had it..... and if that didn't work then I'd have to take a long trip to Bass Direct for the Octabvre.... Luckily the MXR was great, brilliant tracking, no distortion and a cool sound so I went with that. Cheers all for you suggestions...

I do have my Compressor (Empress) before it but it still farts out.....

So, I have a lovely old Boss OC-2 pedal which gives me smooth, clean 1-octave down tones when using my Fender & Tokai passive basses. However, when I plug my Haz-loaded US Spectors in it becomes distorted and if I plug an 18v Tonepump loaded Euro Spector in it becomes distorted with terrible tracking. Does anyone have a real world experience/recommendations for a nice OC-2 look clean octave pedal which can handle the higher output of active basses (in particular Spectors or others with very high output)? For clarification - I'm not looking for mad synth octave bass sounds - just nice clean 1 octave down action... I've been pointed towards the 3Leaf Octabvre... (very expensive) and the MXR.... but don't want to waste time/risk purchasing something completely unsuitable. Cheers!

I'll bite...... as per the previous post - Spector. From the very start (& even when owned by Kramer for a few years) they have always had one constant guiding their product. Stuart Spector himself. He's always ensured that anything with his name on it is of a high standard at ALL price points. The man is a legend..... and a master of customer service too!

Mark sold me his Gator shallow rack. Great item and fab communication. Cheers mate!

The customer service and personal touch they always have are just a couple of the reasons I swear by Spector. They look and sound just how I want them to, play like butter and make me smile every time I pick them up.... PJ and Stuart are legends!

Love my 400RBs and 800RBs but had no problems save the FX loop fix. May be worth contacting Surrey Amps or Guitar Aid to see what they say?

Nice! Welcome to the 'family'

The holoflash is/was available on all models. I don't have the cheapest model but I have a holoflash Rex, a holoflash Euro4 and a holoflash US NS2...... Which are you referring to?

Thanks all! Very helpful

I'm moving away from my Multi FX unit and back to good old pedals. Could you lovely people please advise as to the correct order for the following (which will be making up my new pedal board)? Line 6 G30 Wireless Receiver Korg Pitchblack Chromatic Tuner Boss OC2 Octave Boss CE2 Chorus Boss DD20 Digital Delay Hartke Bass Attack Darkglass B3K Microtubes Overdrive BBE Sonic Maximiser Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Gutted...... I'll be gigging again
