How odd.

No question, my Wal was the best sounding instrument I ever did own. Sadly, it was only a 4 string and a few aspects of is playability didn't agree with me and as such I moved her on. Finances have since significantly worsened so I cannot see me being able to afford a 5 string version anytime soon. The 4 string models are more love/hate than people may expect; the neck is a v shape, the fretboard edges are not rolled and can feel quite sharp and the pickups make for difficult thumb anchoring. All of those disagreed with me, however the five string model has a C neck and thumb-friendly pickups, but I try not to think about that! I don't think any model is in any way fugly. The new MK3 is definitely my least favourite, the MK2 shape is just perfect!

Ordering the one in stock now will be guaranteed for Thursday, so imagine preorders will be the same, unless they did get dispatched today, which seems unlikely now. EDIT: All stock now gone, but apparently they are getting more in a week? DG must have really increased production if they can meet another shipload so soon, I don't any other british dealers have their initial stock yet...

Andertons stock is in. No dispatch notification yet, but it appears they still have 1 left! No shipments until late November from what Doug was saying, so order quick anyone who is still debating!

Decisions, decisions! [/quote] Switchable power, stick it in 2 ohm mode is 900w its too much for your cabs 350w at 8ohm that way! I have owned multiples of all Darkglass equipment released, I had a couple of issues with the ones built by 3Leaf, but all products built in Finland have been 100%

The Andertons stock left Finland on Friday, so I reckon they will be shipping before the end of the week

I like a good Doug interview. He has so much time for his product users as well as media outlets. Damn nice fellow to chat to face to face too Interesting what he had to say about the Class D power module argument. Also cool that the digital circuitry for the switch can be upgraded in the future without modification to the amp!

It's worth adding Bergnatino and Vanderkley to your list. Both excellent cabs, with Berg's having the edge for me with their honkier midrange. The Vanderkley has more bottom I haven't tried the Aguilar or the TKS though!

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1476010133' post='3150365'] Here, I always leave feedback (unless I forget - which I don't think I do, but how would I know?). On eBay, not so much - it's too obviously a business tool and too fiddly and prescriptive. I leave feedback because I dealt [u]with a person[/u]. [/quote] Feedback on eBay is a joke. Did I imagine you are not able to leave negative feedback easily anymore, have to jump through hoops e.t.c.?

Have to admit I don't 'get' unboxing videos, but the cat was a great source of entertainment there! You are very patient, I would be freaking out if my brand new bit of gear was exposed to cat claws so quickly!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1475962853' post='3150169'] Our BL would never call the same song twice. Blue [/quote] Your gigs must be quite a feat. Surely you will run out of different songs eventually??

Sold this splendid chap a box of funk, he seems happy with it. Cheers bud!

I'm guilty of forgetting to leave feedback. Im happy to be asked to as a reminder, and I regularly ask for feedback myself Now, I sold two pedals last week....

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1453831198' post='2963243'] 1000W and only one speakon? D'oh! [/quote] Assume your not serious Funny how it is becoming more common to daisy chain cabs, makes total sense when you think about it, less wire dangling cables around!

They're certainly aware, obviously a mistake not corrected from the prototype but I'm not sure if they'll just keep it that way now, its quite funny! But if they do correct it, hey at least itl be first edition collectors item!

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1475850087' post='3149235'] I'm not convinced. Unless the use of the Preamp Out re-activates the Master Volume, I've asked the question on Facebook - I'll post the reply when I get it. I've ordered one anyway. I discovered I had some Andertons points to knock another £13 off! [/quote] Just had a read through the Talkbass thread, and Doug confirms in a post that the sockets can be used as an effects loop, so I think its all good! I got £1.39 off mine....

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1475858370' post='3149334'] I bet it's a great amp but it needs more general use demos without gain. [/quote] Without gain? What nonsense is this?!
