    Which cardboard is best for metal though?

    I have a Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ, and it is a glorious all-in-one (minus overdrive-abilitly) pedal. Works especially well for double bass, with the hpf. Also equally awesome for clean bass tones. EQ points are great, sweepable mid, compressor is great - boost function is great for balancing slap/pick sounds with fingers. My one problem is that my particular unit has developed an annoying intermittent fault where the power glitches on and off momentarily if the wind changes. It’s become too temperamental to take out on a gig alas.

    Have just taken delivery of an Ashdown Ant from James. Great communication throughout, speedy delivery and bomb proof packing. Thanks James.

    Yep, still here.

    30 minutes must be getting to you Bilbo - you've linked the wrong chart! 'Rien Ne Va Plus' pops up instead of 'Mari Mulambo'.

    And metal/rock sounds aside, it’s serving me well in a pop/rock orchestra. With the speaker and bite switches disengaged it’s can cover a lot of non-metal ground. Then taking the Sansamp element out of the equation with the blend knob fully counterclockwise, it’s a great simple 4 band eq. Despite the manual saying different, all 4 eq’s work this way.

    Maybe it takes the brain the size of a small planet to get it? (Not saying I have one, just the best comeback reference I can muster!!)

    Quality reference!

    I watched this last night - eye opening to see how we all collectively walked into this one. https://www.paramountplus.com/gb/shows/how-music-got-free/

    MXR Analog Chorus, or an equally awesome but much cheaper option is the TC Electronic Afterglow. Both have righteous low end and no volume drop.

    Thanks Lozz. It’s a headf*ck to be honest. Puts me off seeing live bands again! In the same venue I’ve seen Iron Maiden twice - once with great sound, once with great sound minus the bass. If any band is going to have clearly heard bass it’s Maiden!

    In Dublin he played the purple one above for most of the set. On a few drop tuned numbers from ‘Worship Music’ he switched to a traditional Spector - the old NS shape (sorry, don’t know Spector model names). The old NS Spector was the better sounding of the two - in that I could at least hear it. The sub bass on the kick drum - and the fact Charlie B plays a million kick drum beats per song - drowned out any chance of hearing anything Bello played at all. (Grumble grumble - I just don’t get that mixing choice at all, but they’re all at it so it must be me)

    GenzBenz was just quality all round. I’m still loving my two Streamliners (600 and 900), my Shuttle 9.2, Shuttle 3.0 combo and Focus 4x10 cab. Happy Happy!! Joy Joy!!!!

    Sold some wall hangers to Andy - great communication and swift payment. Happy to do business with again.

    My old bass!!!! So cool. Wish I’d held on to it at that price! Good luck with the sale.

    That’s great to hear. I’m the market-ish. Always been tempted by the NG Dingwalls, but never had one in my hands. And I’m just a sucker for white basses!
  20. Gareth Hughes
    Hey Danny - how’d the Dingwall work out for you on the gig?
  21. Gareth Hughes
    In case anyone hasn;t posted this already - well worth the watch.
  22. Gareth Hughes
    I don’t know about the Sadowsky sizes, but these definitely fit in both Fender US and Japanese basses. Hope that helps.
  23. Gareth Hughes
    Heartily recommended - these pedals are bomb proof. I have two, both 25 years old with several thousand gigs between them. Flawless.
  24. Gareth Hughes
    Yes, totally passive. Extra wires so they can be wired with a series/parallel switch. Can also just be wired in a normal manner (earth/hot).

    Hi all - here's a Pedaltrain Backpack 2 Pouch Case for sale, barely been used. Also included is a Classic JR board (which has a fair bit of mileage on it). Separately the case is £135 new and the board is £139 new (albeit with a soft case). So that's £274 total. I'm selling this for £160 £130 plus postage. As for pedal board sizes - here's the blurb from Pedaltrain: This case accommodates several board sizes (Classic JR, Novo 18, PT-JR). Smaller Pedaltrain sizes in this group (Classic-JR, PT-JR) will have extra room for storage of cables, accessories, etc.
