I'd agree after a year of sales perhaps, but a few weeks? And I assume the number of units sold so far won't be massive. I dunno, I didn't buy one, but I think i'd be peeved if I did. Hell, the Quad Cortex came down by £100 after two years of me owning one and I was irked by that 😂 It's interesting, as around a month ago I was strongly considering buying one of them, had it in the basket etc, but I ruled it out as I couldn't stretch my budget past £300. I went a different synth route instead (a route I'm VERY happy with) so its no longer a goer for me, but yeah, if they'd sold it direct for that price, I'd be part of the club by now.
-
The shop price is delivered and includes VAT. I think at the intro price ordered direct it landed at around £330, based on a calculation I saw a few pages ago. So yeah, the first buyers given the special pre-order deal seem to have paid a 30% or so chunk more than anyone can presumably order one now, which I find odd to say the least.
-
I may be mistaken, but i'm 99.9% sure the intro price was 299 euros, regular price 359 euros, plus a hefty shipping charge and the fees that come with it. £258 delivered is a massive saving. What's going on?
-
May well do, but they're still selling them now. I ruled it out as I had it landed in the UK at somewhere around £330-£350 including VAT duty , fees etc, and that was the special cheap pre-order price... I think I'd be more than miffed if a few weeks after I supported the launch, they were available at a shop for almost 30% cheaper.

At least a couple of those exist, its a custom shop option

The thumb is so nice, i'll even forgive you for the state of that headstock
-
It's quite unusual to get Bubinga with that kind of figuring on an eighties Thumb. It's a real special example, congrats!
-
I can't see the discussion, but my word, being a gent would be an absolute struggle in response to that if it was me.
-
I think it also matters tremendously the reason the shop gave to the US buyer for cancelling the sale, whatever that may have been.
-
You know, I totally didn't pick up on this part of the story, got distracted by the almost-bargain aspect. Yeah, that's gross, from both parties but mainly the shop for me for agreeing to it. They haven't come out well from this at all.

Mooer 'shroom footswitch toppers - does anyone have a spare one they would bequeath to me? I need 11 so the 10 pack didn't cut it!
-
I've had a play with it now, was expecting more of an overhaul of the UI given the move from 10 to 11 but I guess I'm happy its mostly just polished here and there. Had a go of the stem splitter on one of my own tracks, and I'm actually really impressed with how the drums and vocals came out in a pretty dense metal mix. Bass not very useable and having everything else lumped as "guitar" is a shame, but it has potential.
-
I think that just about wraps this up 🙂

The thing is Nick, I'm struggling to see why you appear to have any animosity with the Basschat Admin/Mod team. We explained the situation to you as you have now acknowledged, you unfortunately followed some bad advice from a non-moderator on here which caused us to have to act again. You have not been accused of anything by the team, and our informal warning text is very clear to highlight this and offer help, but somehow you appear left with a negative opinion with us and how the site is run, which I think is what is causing such confusion and frustration with Ped and the rest of the team.

3Leaf Audio Proton £100 *REDUCED* - *SOLD*
Kev replied to HoorayForAnonyms's topic in Effects For Sale
Am I missing something, I haven't seen a 3Leaf pedal hang around this long for a long time, aren't they like £300+ odd on eBay/Reverb etc? Sure it will go soon! -
He would have received the full explanation that has been reposted a couple of times in here. If he didn't receive this, then this is a bug we can look at for him if he lets us know, but it shows at our end as sent and acknowledged. Unfortunately, like many forums, rules like this have to be in place i'm afraid, site runnings costs sadly don't pay for themselves, and it is still an AWFUL lot cheaper to sell stuff here than certain other online marketplaces
-
This is sad, and very confusing, to read, especially from a Supporting Member. If we are missing something collectively here guys, please do say, as at present it just seems the consensus in this thread is that we should have allowed this one valuation thread, for reasons not current obvious to anyone on the team?
-
I'm not sure if there are miscommunications here, but the issue really is as simple as the rules of the forum do not allow threads requesting valuations for equipment outside of the subscribers members only sub-forum that has been linked to in this thread. The reason is people (not necessarily you!) have been known to use valuation threads as a way of getting gear sold without paying to be a supporting member. It isn't personal and shouldn't be viewed as such, you will only get formally warned if you repeatedly break the rules after its been pointed out to you. Best advice is to take advice from the mods/admin team and not members To view the forum in question, you need to be a Supporting Member, which is £20 per year. The £7 price is to post a single sales ad, which I do not believe makes you a supporting member.

I feel like its come down from the absolutely bonkers days of £10k basses appearing everywhere, which is about the time I left that group. Any much more than £6k seem to hang around for a long time at the moment, which gives me hope. I just wish Wal would change their strategy and get a team of builders in and start pumping more out, just to see the collectors panic. I really loved the sound of my MK2 (huge BSSM tone fan) and have never been satisfied by a "clean" tone since, but I hated everything else about the bass. V neck profile, distance between strings and body, thumb anchoring, all not me at all. Perhaps I'm just forever bitter for selling it for £3.5k....
-
Wouldn't surprise me if half of the enquiries this bass had was from Wal owners, keen to tell the shop keeper that they need to increase the price. From my days in the Wal group on Facebook, my word they don't like any notion of the sky high prices of the basses being threatened... A shame the bargain never happened, but congrats on the new bass Max!

Modern digital processing is more than capable of rendering a very decent drop tune, to a higher standard than anything analog? Though I'm not sure of your context.

Really interesting video. Little in it, but the older version somehow sounds more organic and natural?

So my signal chain is bass > Gallows Sidechain in/out > Quad Cortex, with the main in/out of the Gallows in an effects loop. The fault, when it appears, happens when a note is left ringing out for a few bars and, to my ears, the gate kicks in and lowers levels too soon, with the LED indicating that's what it's doing too (it changes colour when the gate is open and closed). As I say, it could be in my head as I have never managed to recreate it on purpose, and I do have the gate turned up high to make the gating action as hard and choppy as possible, which could be related too. I've gigged it for a couple of months without any problem, its only during bedroom noodling I've experienced it. -
So whilst I have continued to use this pending sale (the Quad Cortex update is still pending!) I have noticed a potential intermittent peculiarity with its gating action. I don't know if I'm imagining it, especially given the choppy nature of the gate design, but very occasionally whilst playing, the gate seems to kick in a little early i.e. begins to close even when I'm sure I'm playing above the threshold. Whenever I notice this, I attempt to recreate it and can't! Sweet as a whistle for the rest of the session. I'm not sure if there is an intermittent fault with the pedal, or the fault lies elsewhere in the chain, but I can't sell this on as fully working in good faith. So I'm dropping this right down to £45, if anyone wants to give it a go!
