[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1493372585' post='3287810'] Bass Direct have these in - just so you know. Cannot get over the price. Are these hand soldered analog pedals? Or are they digital? [/quote] All their products have gone up loads. Funnily enough since a particular event we're not allowed to talk about. Even the B3K is £200 now!!!

Marvel can set a worldwide release date for a film before filming has wrapped because they have the money to make it happen, even if they have to hire another 500 people to get it done. I don't know of any music company who could do that. I don't think it's a professionalism issue necessarily, I think it's a money issue.

Email the cab maker to see if they could estimate the force needed to damage it like that. It's good evidence. Might be able to prove the height it was dropped from

I usually find that when non-musical items arrive on time I haven't got time to use them that day anyway! Why new films are released on a Monday I will never know. I never have time to watch until the next weekend. Actually - I wonder if they do it on a Monday because new releases at the cinema are on a Friday and they don't want people opting to stay in. Mmmm...

I have never had a pre-ordered musical item arrive on time. Doesn't matter what brand or retailer. I think in a way we have been spoiled by Amazon DVD pre-orders and that sort of thing. I now just view a musical pre order to be nothing other than getting in the queue, and I'll simply order it from a shop I trust rather than the one that might have it a little earlier.

Join the Helix Group on facebook and ask. There are a couple, the one you want is "Line 6 Helix - Helix Rack - Helix LT User Group ORIGINAL" Lots of Helix nerds there. Youtube demos wont really help though, their compression system would ruin a proper comparison

Stevie Salas - Tell your story walking. The Commadores - Brick House.

I just ask if Tesco provided them with free food, and the power company free electricity.

I;m using the M900 with a pair of One10 and I think they really suit each other. So I vote for the Two10

I sold my B7K and kept my VMTD, and funnily enough now I wish I had gone the other way! I have the M900 amp now, but I use the B3K setting all the time, set low even for clean. It just does something I like to the sound that I can't do with the Vintage.

[quote name='Elfrasho' timestamp='1492590041' post='3281361'] With these it is possible to plug it in whilst using it? As in, use it like a traditional power supply? [/quote] Some but not all. The Rockboard LT XL will - I have one of them. And it's only about £45 too. It's very good. http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/RockBoard-by-Warwick-Power-LT-XL-Lithium-Ion-Rechargeable-Battery/1FV7

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1492525970' post='3280936'] Scott Devine has done a wee review of this on his youtube channel. Very different from the other DG pedals. I like it! [/quote] It's got a real hint of the Pearce type grind in the mids.

I went cheap last time as I needed a beach pair. I got some Soundmagic ones and was frankly astonished. Definitely worth trying.

Or the Helix which has just had a massive bass heavy firmware update including a B7KU model with all the switches.

I've got the Rockboard LT XL It's ace.

I'm looking for a Scratchplate for a 2005 5 string Stingray - but without any holes in it (or only screw holes) WD Music - USA - will make me one, but it would be pretty expensive. I did think about Tim / Scratch-It as I have 1 of his already, but his are clear with a photobacking and I want something more traditional this time. Anyone got any ideas?

Oooo! I want one!

[quote name='ChazzJEUK' timestamp='1492165799' post='3278388'] Just travelled 140 miles to purchase a Spector gig bag listed on Bass Directs website. Got there only to be told very rudely "not had them in 3 months" So why are they available to purchase via the website. I stood awkwardly while Marcus & assistant tit tattled about when one was last sold like children. Frankly Marcus seems like a very spoilt, downright rude person who has no people skills, no idea how to treat customers and has no idea how to run a business or a website. I highly recommend taking your money elsewhere, especially if you're looking to buy a new instrument. The Gallery in Camden or Bass Gear are both very friendly and will offer you a brew and a chat. Marcus will offer nothing but awkward silences and rude remarks. [/quote] So the first bit of this wasn't really accurate then? Giving the impression of an entirely wasted trip because of the bag, when in fact you went looking for other stuff too. Either it was a wasted trip or it wasn't. Can't be both. Agreed that Marcus has no people skills, but I find Mark to be great. Top service whether I've bought a bag or a whole new rig.

Wasnt' the C the one that was loaded into a combo?

Driving 140 miles when the site says "Out of Stock" Mmmmm. I won't even make a special trip to the PMT in my own town without calling first - even if the site says it is in stock. Even the big guys struggle to properly display real time stock levels.

Stingray 3 band?

+1 for Reaper!
