No-one?

Nothing, some pedals do it for some and not for others

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1452781935' post='2953457'] An improvement... [/quote] But it's only the preamp section that has changed, the drive circuit is unaltered so a change, or improvement as you put it , was always bizarrely ambitious!

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1452779517' post='2953405'] The clean stuff all sounded great (actually VERY useful sounding preamp pedal!)... then the distortion went on and messed it all up! Yuk... [/quote] Given that you don't like the B*K drive sound, what did you expect?

Yup, sounds like a P bass

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1452688308' post='2952397'] Anyone see this? I never use distortion personally but the EQ section on this thing sounds very good for those who like a clean tone. [media]http://youtu.be/eFPCg9a5_mo[/media] [/quote] I was resisting until I watched that. Preordered...

Having recently took delivery of a custom Alpher Instruments 5 string, I would love to put a 5 string set through its paces. These strings sound very interesting indeed!

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1424628679' post='2698491'] I can't tell. Are you saying it's the finest instrument in the universe incapable of being bettered? Or are you saying that you can't polish a turd? [/quote] Haha!

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1452372691' post='2949420'] This or a vintage P? [/quote] You would get change with this in many a case. And when you compare the build quality... Still, each to their own. Vintage P's do look pretty on a wall, or in those rather fetching tweed cases Alternatively, buy a Squire Classic Vibe, stick a Aguilar P in it, and lets be honest you will be 3/4 of the way there

I was about to get myself a Polytune tuner, but then I saw this. Anyone any experience with it? Never seen or heard of it before??

I like it Price seems bang on compared to other 'Super' P builders too.

I think you are going to be somewhat surprised at how much more you can do with iOS Lots and lots to explore! But for a tuner, the Polytune App I have found the best and least glitchy for me

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1452294185' post='2948735'] That said I do use my B7K as an always on and with only a hair of overdrive. I am surprised to see some describe it as harsh but then maybe I like harsh? [/quote] People who describe it as harsh are not using it properly. It is capable of far more than that

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1452287932' post='2948638'] Good to see you here Doug! I don't know what happened in the whole Darkglass/Spencer affair, and I don't want to know. If I've spoke out of turn I apologise. But... I DON'T think the term CLONE should be being bandied about as there has been development in these pike pedals... even if the visuals are, ahem, questionably familiar! [/quote] Agreed. Thread title amended as appropriate.

Alpher Mako Elite 5: ACG Finn Custom 4: And a little shot of the pair:

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1452268923' post='2948340'] Err... How do you work that out then? [/quote] I said why I thought that in my post. With regards to Mark, he has pretty strong views on bass equipment as any who have dealt with him would know, I wouldn't be surprised if he made the decision not to sell them himself. However, I personally think him removing them from sale is more likely due to the hullabaloo about them at the moment, albeit a little odd as it is mainly on Talkbass, given that most participants in this thread have been defending Pike. Although, I think Facebook has been quite bad for Spencer, he is deleting an awful lot of comments. I may well be proven wrong if it comes out, but I repeat I do not think Doug (the only one at DG who would make the decision) would go this route, as he simply doesn't need to. Pike are not a real threat to DG sales, certainly no more of a threat than any of the other high end drive pedals out there at the moment.

No point in trying to force yourself to like something. If you have a lot of money in it, get rid

Providing you got it in 2015

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1452249530' post='2947971'] WTF??? He might aswell have said "Due to pressure from another manufacturer we are no longer selling Pike." It's understandable that he removed Pike from the list, DG sells more and generates a bigger income, i don't blame him, but if it's confirmed that DG forced him to cancel the Pike deal then they'll now look as bad in the picture as Spencer did... [/quote] Following numerous conversations with Doug, he doesn't care less about it and just finds it all a little sad really. He has said to me he just wants to move on from it and concentrate on his own releases, of which there will be many this year. I don't think this will be Darkglass pressure at all.

Something usually comes up, but Ill tentatively put my name on again as I am determined to go to one of these things! [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1.
