[/quote] I don't think I agree with that. The Wonderlove is a development of the GR2 circuit, basically the same with a few tweaks here and there, very much still on the Meatball side of things. The Proton is quite different from the Wonderlove and I wasn't a fan, although I own neither of them anymore as overall they both underwhelmed me. Would love to own a Meatball!

If you are after a creamy valve drive, the B7K won't be for you. The Vintage Microtubes Deluxe would be more up your street I would think, far less aggressive than the B7K.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1419256195' post='2638031'] My schaller strap lock had a major fail a few months back and my bass would have certainly hit the floor if I hadn't managed to stop it. [/quote] How on earth did that happen? Did the strap button/screw fall out? Or where you jumping round like a lunatic? I can't see how it could fail to the point of the bass falling any other way...

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1420499500' post='2650138'] I decided not to wait (by a week) and got this instead: [/quote] Not yellow enough for me... Gorgeous bass that Z3 though, mate. Congrats!

So, who is expecting to get their hands on theirs this week from Bass Direct?

This chap has just purchased a rather nice Warwick bass from me. Smooth transaction, paid when he said he would and seems happy with the bass, a pleasure to deal with. Cheers, Adam!

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1420478011' post='2649783'] There is an old fretless Wal Pro 2E for trade - only for trade against a good five string bass - here in Sweden. Here is the link: [url="http://pratabas.se/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=75233"]http://pratabas.se/v...php?f=8&t=75233[/url] Translated by Mayhem Translate gives: [i]Well, I love this bass but still I need a fretless with at least five strings and this has only four ...[/i] [i]A piece of British engineering from '79, absolutely top class and with a sound you will not find elsewhere. Newly renovated by Wal themselves (incl. reshaping the fretboard, new fingerboard markers, renovation of electronics, new chrome on the neck plate etc etc). I let the cracked laquer and dents be (see picture), then they do not bother me. Unfortunately, the original case is long gone when it fell into so many pieces that it could not be saved.[/i] [i]Not for sale but only swapping for fretless 5- or 6-string. I imagine something like the F-bass, woody and mwwaah, preferably lined fingerboard and bolt-on but it is not a requirement. Trade value around £1500-1600. Can arrange more images.[/i] [/quote] Seems like a great deal if you have what he wants! I don't really know what the Pro 2E's go for but I would have thought anything under £2k would be a cracking deal?

Great pedal I enjoy mine most in the lower drive settings, less is more for me with this pedal, I use Darkglass pedals for the heavier drive and it works brilliant with these. The bite switch very much off with a little treble boost instead, and speaker emulation on, sounds great for recording
