I've got a countryman with upgraded strings. It's excellent.

Available to order on Thomann.de £325.85 I'm out.

Line 6 Helix Amazing machine. And this month there is a massive bass specific firmware update coming.

What is the neck shape like compared to the ABZ and Combustion? I see adverts saying 'new fast shape' type things, but without an explanation of the shape. I've owned an ABZ and quite liked it, but if the neck was a little slimmer front to back then the NG2 might have to go on my list.

The guitar demos are brilliant. If it can double with bass then I am mightily interested

Fantastic! Can't wait for the update to be available!

Why put the same thing on 4 different threads?

Big band & swing & orchestral at the mo. Quite a surprise after 20 years of metal!

Rather than start another compressor thread... I'm loving my Darkglass, but I could do with a good comp that runs on battery for when I can't get extra power cables and stuff. Obviously there is the MXR Bass Comp, but is there anything else that is really good quality? Ideally not a Ross circuit one.

Just spotted the new 4 way footswitch in thomann - £143 I don't need one, but I thought I'd mention it.

The aux in on the back of the Helix can be configured to be a 2nd input. Very useful for teaching too.

Going to over £300 then when Vat gets added. For most pedals I have a mental block at £200. Darkglass are the only brand I've broken that for. I'm not breaking £300 for anyone.

£84 for a bag? That's stupid. It fits in a Gator or even a laptop bag.

It's still almost £100 more than what I paid for the VMTD. Still, when we are out of the Single Market it can only get better....

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1485377619' post='3223562'] $360, someone has posted on the FB group. Not sure if this is based on anything concrete. Going off current B7K/B7U prices, that will stick it at £325 here. [/quote] Dollar price doesn't have Vat on it! 360 USD is £284 + 20% = £340 Either way, I'm out. I not paying that for a drive pedal.

That's true enough.

Brighter.

I love it. I got a quote. $4500 Plus shipping, import duty and Vat of course.

The B7K Ultra is about £375 already. Apparently the Alpha will be in between the B7K and the B7K Ultra.

Prices have gone up by loads due to the pound crash. I got my VMTD for about £220, now they are £260 or more. I bet the Alpha will be £300-£325. If they are, then I won't buy one new.

There is no other forum!

I was going to say more guttural. Definitely needs a proper demo. Whether I get one will depend on what the bass heavy update for my Helix sounds like next month.

The L6 guys on another forum have been teasing. It appears that the Pearce they used to get the model is a "legendary" one. I'm thinking it might be Sheehan's modified one. Giggity.
