Truly bizzare, as someone comments on Mark's facebook post, that is going to look a complete mess if used by a regular gigger!

I'll never understand why people make such a big deal about this bridge and feel the need to fit them as an 'upgrade'. Don't see the appeal and I certainly didn't fall in love with it when I had one on a Fender I used to own. Just a bridge, isn't it?

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1400525338' post='2454676'] Hey I'm thinking of ordering a bass from thomann because I can't find it locally. If I order one and don't like it, thomann have a no quibble return policy which is great. However, according to their faq if there's nothing wrong with the instrument i would need to pay the return shipping. Any idea how much it would cost to return a bass to Thomann? [/quote] Paying for your own return shipping is pretty standard in UK too from what I have seen, although I have never bought a new bass online! Too much of an unknown entity! Using interparcel and parcel2go will give you decent shipping costs, in my experience typicall 150%-200% the cost of posting a bass within the UK. Not a deal breaker I wouldn't have thought

Thing is, this question is impossible to answer. There are so many pedals out there that sound very different with active basses, but sometimes it is a good different! There are not too many pedals out there that flat out don't work with actives, but that's half the fun of searching for the right fuzz!

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1400059882' post='2450238'] I'm very keen to try the VMT now, though I'm not sure I need it...I got sick of the character of the B3K pretty quickly, tried a B7K as I thought the eq would give me the versatility I needed, but I realised that I just don't like the nagging (and rather unnatural) sound of either unit...It just sounded like Meshuggah or something, whatever bass I put through it! [/quote] Its amazing how peoples opinions differ. Every bass I have put through it sounds completely different! I find it incredibly sensitive to the signal going in, not in an active/passive way either. I just love it!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1399318236' post='2443124'] I thought they only ever sold direct? Anyway, here's the thread for you: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/iron-ether-status.1070657/ [/quote] No UK dealers, but several us ones, including prymaxevintage.com. Bought all mine from them bar the sub.

I have just acquired a wonderful Sei from Andy. Was patient with my decision process and all in all I think it has turned out to be a great deal! Cheers bud!

12v just gives it more headroom/less gain. I found it made the B7K and Vintage worse than with 9v, so I didn't try it again

That's a good buy mate, well done!

Anything less than 650-700 quid would be good for a fully working model, preamp should be an easy fix so anything less than those would be a decent deal! Spill, what did you pay?

Not sure what is happening with their business model. I think all of the dealers they had dropped them, I believe due to a costing issue, and following this a new potential flagship pedal was released with a quite obvious flaw. A bit odd, but hope they get things sorted as they are cracking pedals.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1399311643' post='2443025'] Relisted and sorted with no fuss. It appears if you don't opt for Int postage when listing, it isn't possible to amend! [/quote] Makes sense I do despise eBay. Fine to buy, but to sell it just seems to be getting worse and worse.

I didn't get added to the list but I did say I was going to pop over for this, however I'm guilty of not checking dates! I am up north with family all weekend so me and the Dingwall I wont be able to make it i'm afraid!

If you don't need to sell them financially, what is the motivation for a cull? You have four Seis so I cannot imagine there is much you are missing out on there, unless you intend to be a collector.

What a collection! The fretless is wonderful

It just says posts to United Kingdom when I click on the link, no mention of Europe?? EDIT viewing from a foreign ebay site,it does say UK only John. This wont be paypal related, if you have selected EU shipping then it looks like a bug with your listing.
