    Heading to Rockprest with the Evanescence tribute tomorrow, if anyone wants to say Hi!

    Apparently, the Modulus made early necks were a myth (rrp of a modulus neck was almost as much as the rrp of the G Bass), and they are not actually carbon necks as marketed, they have a maple core with a carbon wrap. Still cracking basses for the money of course, but really interesting marketing choice from Peavey; the manual literally says it's a Carbon Graphite neck with no mention of it being mostly wood. Crazy but there you go. Still want it!

    I think the F# tuning is what many going for a 6 string NG would likely tune to over regular tuning to be fair! But I agree you may want to look at removing the vinyl cover (or at least checking it can be removed cleanly) as its a little niche, don't remember seeing anything like that before!

    Ripping the Tolex off of one of those awful peeling BF cabs is possibly the most relatable cab-related action i've seen. I say Bravo!

    Witness point, that's the phrase I was after!

    Scam, in so far as I'd bet an awful lot of money that what you receive is not what is pictured.

    Yeah that's what I mean, so I'm really surprised the competitive price wasn't based on moving lots of units and they're this uncommon. Lovely basses, I always looked at as a bit of a middle finger to EBMM for never giving Flea a sig bass!

    I can't believe so few of these were made, felt like they were for sale everywhere for years at a relatively low price point for a US artist model?

    I don't feel like you go to many metal concerts...

    .125 string, has the zing of a smaller string but enough heft to add weight behind the note. Much, much more importantly than that, the setup on the bass needs to be spot on. Neck as straight as you can get away with, nut cut well. When you string a new string, when just under tension, push down hard at the break angle over the bridge saddle (towards pickup) to create a cleaner break. Makes the world of difference. Experiment with tapered strings too.

    Yeah this is the 2.0 version, the first one was quite a different beast altogether. I assume the bars were added later on. Don't see many of these about!

    Nice one for accepting the return and being upfront with the new listing, goes a long way to add a sense of trust to the community! Hopefully nothing that a decent luthier couldn't improve. I had a similar issue with a Warwick bass that got fixed up nicely.
  13. Kev
    That must be quite a story, where did they go?! What was the situation with the replacement neck too?

    Respectfully, why is it always the sellers with the highest asking prices who make the least effort with their sales pitches?

      Yeah I did that too after I posted the above. They seem to come in waves. Not that many to be seen at the moment - which is a good thing 👍

      I suspect it because they're not really bothered if the bass sells or not, because they don't need the money.

       

      I always sell at a realistic price because, if I'm selling, I need the money.

      I absolutely agree that lack of info is irritating, but you can always request more pics etc., although it may or may not be forthcoming, of course. What I really don't understand is why some sellers list a bass having seemingly made no attempt to clean it up - gunk, layers of dust, and grease and crud on the fingerboard make me want to heave. Having said that, a few years ago I bought a used bass online from a well-known specialist retailer, and it arrived in a similar condition (which hadn't been apparent from the photographs on their website) smelling like it had spent its entire life in a kebab shop. I nearly sent it back.

    Seems like an expensive way of doing it, BD used to use and introduced me to a guy based in Coventry for repairs and ive used him ever since, but as long as they do actually reimburse! Surprised EBMM don't have authorised repair shops in the UK.
  16. Kev
    Trying to keep dirty laundry private until it's resolved, or is there another reason why you're having to arrange your own repair for an under-warranty ~£3k bass?

    Why are Shuker getting involved?

    Don't believe I am, different colour but the necks on the earlier ones looked like the one on Reverb here: https://reverb.com/item/48796534-peavey-g-bass-green-sparkle Definitely carbon, I thought the later ones were carbon too but painted, not sure though! The manual also confirms carbon necks.
  19. Kev
    Pretty certain this is a carbon/graphite neck, just not made by Modulus like the earlier ones? Always wanted one of these, lovely looking bass.

      Do you get a link to the post that has been reported? For example, I reported a spammer post the other day, I couldn't send a report for the spammer account specifically, only the status post they'd made.

    In terms of QC captures, I think there is a lot more to it than capturing a single sound. Its effectively machine learning, the QC sends all kinds of signals into the device it is capturing for several minutes and "learning" what each signal makes the device do. So, in effect it absolutely does capture amp break-up and reproduces it rather well.

    Sounds like at least another month before 3.2.

    I think you definitely need to try and find a way of trying them both. They are really different basses, the feel very different to play and sound quite unalike, particularly the 5's. No Basschatter will be able to help you with that stuff. You can't go wrong with an SSI (think Spector, only with character ) but the Thumb is my favourite. But they're unique marmite basses, for sure.
  24. Kev
    Lovely sounding bass, but the only thing I could think about is how much of a nightmare that paint job is and how hard it will be to keep clean and not gloss up 😅 Nice review though man!

    Darkglass Anagram

    Kev replied to Kev's topic in Effects

    So would the exercise be a way of getting some cash back but maintaining functionality you need, or are you looking for something else from the Anagram? I've snapped back to my senses somewhat and realised that the QC does everything I need and risking a switch to a lesser unit on the basis of its size and bass specificness would be a bit of a risk. I'd definitely buy the Anagram out of the two if I didn't have the QC, but i've not seen anything yet that would justify a switch. I'm more just frustrated at the lack of bass focus with the QC.
