Circuit board comparisons up on Talkbass. Interested to hear Spencer's 'explanation' as to why the circuit boards are near identical too, bar a few value changes and a small section in the middle which one presumes is this 'second drive circuit'. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/pike-amplification-vulcan-od-3-leaf-audio-new-company.1190555/page-15#post-18135447

Iv posted this over on the W forum, see how it goes down.

Is this the buckeye Infinity or Streamer? I can't believe those repair costs and the attitude. Warwick prices are what they are new and people pay them, however surely no-one is paying those prices for repair. I bet Martin will sort it, however if he doesn't out of principle I would never consider commissioning Warwick for the work.

I may wait for the first batch cast offs in January....

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1450220806' post='2930771'] thinking about it - I think the dingwall had a flat fingerboard, and that wasn't slow, but again it is hard to compare [/quote] It would have been a custom spec if so, no Dingwall boards are flat as standard, most of the higher end ones have a compound radius, which is really nice.

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1450294232' post='2931499'] I'd expect a 20" radius board to be barely disinguishable from flat. [/quote] This. To be honest, I don't notice too much of a difference at all really, but certainly a 20" board will feel very similar. Far more noticeable will be the Asymmetric carve!

I'd like to try one, particularly as you had the Darkglass and the full sized Cali and chose this over them both.

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1450028038' post='2928906'] Pedal is now ready to order, tempting! €426, so around £308 delivered, expensive but still a good price compared to how much Deep Impact have been selling for! [/quote] Yes, but the kind of people paying £700 for a Deep Impact will not be considering buying this. The Bass Whammy reissue was price much better, has sold well and killed off the market for the vintage ones as it sounds and works better all round. Digitech, though, are somewhat larger and the costs of getting this off the ground may well have been high. I'm still so torn on this. It needs to be a big improvement on the Deep Impact to justify the price tag.

It is bloody expensive, but I can still see myself ordering one...

Considered installing a Nordstrand Bigman pickup? Larger route than a normal MM Humbucker so may let you do away with the pickguard...as well as having a monster of a pickup

How does the M80 compare in size to the Vertigo? The Vertigo is an excellent case, best 'bag' I have come across. Mono also do the Bass Sleeve which, whilst a little thin on protection, will certainly be one of if not the smallest bag you will find.
