Took me a year to find a rack unit for my Streamliner. I feel your pain.

I kind of view most compression pedals as a Dynacomp with extras. Most pedals I've had (rather than racks) haven't had an input gain or threshold or release control and I didn't like the MXR Bass Compressor at all, and that had loads more. My favourite sub £200 compressor pedal is still the Marshall ED-1. It's just great.

Ooo! I'll be very interested to hear a good demo, to find out if the frets still allow it to sound like an upright.

"Is this a problem that needs solving?" What a bizarre concept.

Otis Redding. Awesome stuff and great to play along with.

Every year I think about doing this. Every time I can't decide which bass is my favourite. At the moment I'm playing my Ray5 and nothing else is getting a look in, but I know in a week or a month I'll be playing my Sandberg or Marleaux...

Saw these on facebook. http://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_studio_bass_compressor.htm As a compression junkie I'll probably end up with one.

It's quite similar to the Markbass Multiamp. I've not tried one of those, but I quite like the idea.

I like the hifi look. I reckon I could stick it on top of my AV Amp and the missus won't notice!! (She might notice 10m speakons winding round the edge of the room to reach the cabs though!)

Thanks for the review. This is still on my GAS list. I've never used a Pearce but I have the SVP-BSP and I'd love to try them all together!

I didn't like the MXR one at all. I'm a compression junky and I've had plenty from simple Dyna Comps through to stupid complex rack mount stuff. The MXR just left me cold. I went back to a Keeley 4 knob for my pedal board.

I can't see the demand for a new label TBH. The big boys are there because of their advertising clout. The new artists release their own work directly or through aggregators. Bands that might want your service will be the ones that can't be bothered to do the aggregator leg work themselves - you might be better off doing that as a professional service with your product being doing the work for them, rather than you being an actual label. Anyone can get on iTunes / Amazon etc now by using the right aggregator, but iTunes and Amazon still take a chunky percentage - I can't see a new band wanting to pay you a percentage as well. If I couldn't be bothered to do it myself, or didn't have time to learn the process I would certainly prefer to pay a flat fee where I give you my fully recorded product and you deal with the bar-coding & registrations and getting it to an aggregator, and then your task is over.

Demeter do a narrow 1u mono power amp - it is NOT rack mountable in its tiny form, but if you are buying new direct from them they will put the amp into a standard rack housing instead, for at extra $50 It's 800w

I like them. I only have 1 bass set up that way, but I'd be happy to have more.

When I swapped the ones on my Sandberg I went from the original clover keys to the smaller Y keys. I don't care that it looks different - but the Y keys were another 8g lighter than the clovers (1/2" versions). On a 5 string that's another 40g. So if you don't care about keep the exact same look, get the Y keys and save more weight.

Valve amps with big arse transformers are usually noisier than SS amps. It's the price you pay for having that all valve tone. But you shouldn't hear it through a wall!!

What happened to Shuffler? I was looking forward to that!

I had a set in a strat a few years ago. Stunning pickups. They should be far better known!

You lot are mental!!

This modified Status Energy I know someone on here has it and I'd love to get it back. I sold it to Bamboo and I know he sold it on. At the time I didn't have the money to buy it back and I can't remember who bought it from him It was a fretted bass, but it was in dire need of a refret and when I spoke to Status I ended up asking them to make a brand new fretless neck for it. If anyone has it and wants to sell it, then please let me know!

Sod the venues. The Shapla Tandoori in Watford was the best curry house I've ever eaten at. Hopefully it's still as good now.
