Mine didn't turn up. Paypay dispute and claim underway. They tell me they've refunded but it hasn't shown up in my paypal. Tossers.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1357482273' post='1923165'] Just pre-ordered one of these beauties from the US. Haven't been this excited about a pedal for quite a while. [url="http://www.bestbassgear.com/ebs-sheehan.htm"]http://www.bestbassg...ebs-sheehan.htm[/url] Apparently due out sometime later this month . Sounds stunning to me - see post #5. Admittedly it is using Billy's bass, but even so, I want one ! [/quote] Are they good people to order from in the US?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1357565092' post='1924493'] I'm interested as I still very much love my Ampeg SVP-BSP. I don't use the 'Sheehan sound', which is very much to do with his basses too, but with my own set up, it sounds fantastic. I'd be very interested in a pedal sized unit and have seen the video already as well as a few other posting by Billy himself about the pedal. If it does the kinda drive I need, I can lose three other pedals on my board! [/quote] I should never have sold my BSP! Anyway, I bet the pedal has gone to EBS because Hartke won't build him a new rack unit like the BSP.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1357581250' post='1924831'] Blimey, you've been lucky! I've never tried a bad Zon but I've had some absolute howlers from the other three. Especially Status [/quote] Really? What was the issue with Status? I've had 4, all brilliant. Only selling my Streamline because I don't get on with the newer neck shape.

[quote name='Bobby K' timestamp='1357580012' post='1924812'] Having owned (and just sold today!) a CIJ Fender P, i would very much recommend them. Fretmeister has got a very nice example up for sale as we speak: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/194430-fs-fender-japan-1962-re-issue-precision/page__p__1907005__hl__fender%20japan__fromsearch__1#entry1907005"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1907005[/url] If it's anything like mine was, you could do a lot worse than take a punt on it I have also owned a fiesta red Classic Vibe Squier P bass. It was a very nice P bass indeed, but i have to say that the CIJ edged it in terms of quality. [/quote] Thank you squire! I don't really want to sell it, but needs must and all that.

It's taken me 25 years to find a Fender I like. And in that time I've never had a bad Status, Zon, Yamaha, Washburn, or Aria. And that doesn't include others of which I've only owned one.

"I use some Sennheiser h'phones on the hi-fi which can worsen the tinnitus for a few hours " Then stop it! Every single time it worsened you are increasing the permanent damage. If your hearing is that f***ed then you should be seriously considering giving up bass.

GHS Pressurewounds. Awesome.

Sounds like you want a Rosewood board Marcus Miller with an East preamp.

The 410 is great. There is a used one in the Classifieds I think.

Having had all manner of composite 'boards I have to say the body is much more important. As a direct comparison - my Graph neck, wood body Energy (old one - no truss rod, very stiff) compared to my Streamline... the Energy is much more traditional sounding and a warm rounded tone is entirely possible, whereas the all graphite Streamline is much more modern. that being said, the difference in Stainless Steel and Nicket frets is quite obvious too. Zon boards are wooden but pressure treated to force resin into the wood. I like it a lot! But I'm not convinced it makes a huge amount of difference unless you are looking at a fretless. Body wood and pickups are a much more important part IMHO

[quote name='Stingray5' timestamp='1276380310' post='865605'] The one... [/quote] If I could find one just like that, but that was under 8lb I would buy it instantly!

Sold the TC! Got a Genz Shuttle 9.2 instead. Had no intention of that happening, but you know when Mark at BD gets talking....

I have a Line 6 UX2. Might that work?

Anyone had one? I've never done anything with skype at all, and I fancy the idea. Not sure whether a simple camera mic would be good enough - but then again I don't suppose he needs to know how bitchin my sound is... just whether I'm playing the note right!
