    I think the fact that you could hear people going "that's just the same bass again" when they switched between an Epiphone Thunderbird and a Rickenbacker 4001 is all you need to know!

    That looks nuts, I love it! One of my students has a bass like that, but it's from Gear4Music and I don't think it's intentional...

    Bought a Hypergravity Mini compressor - they sent it incredibly quickly and covered far more of the postage than they needed to - great person to buy from!

    Wood recently did a trade with me on my Bongo 5 for his Spector Euro RST - excellent communication, very accommodating, let me have a play of some of his more obscure short scale basses whilst being offered constant tea!

    Compression is one of the few "effects" that I can't live without. Sure, when playing alone I feel like I lose all my dynamic range, but for live gigs it just takes everything so that I can better sit in the mix, rather than be constantly concerned I'm too quiet or too loud!

    Gorgeous bass, absolutely killer for long gigs, and a bargain price given how much they go for new! glwts

    Have a check out of Jayme Lewis' unboxing livestream of the SGT he just did yesterday; he does a really good job of fiddling with it to see what sort of sounds and styles it can do:

    Back off hold, and back on sale!

    I'm also following this thread with great interest, as I also want to pick up the SGT-DI and the Revolt Bass!
  10. Killerfridge
    The VT definitely can do grindy, so I'm not doubting your experience with it! The character dial really affects how much "grind" you get. Have a listen to how I use it here (just through the VT, no other eq/effects etc.):
  11. Killerfridge
    I know you mentioned the Sansamp was a bit "grindy", but have you tried the VTBass? I use that currently for my IEMs and that gives me a nice fat warm sound. There is also the Two Notes Revolt Bass which I absolutely love the look and sound of. And as Boodang said, the SpectraDrive is great (assuming it has essentially the same circuitry as the old RH amp heads, or at least can sound like them).

    It's currently the bargain of the century! Best of luck!

    On hold

    Yeah it might have had more of an impact than I anticipated! For me it emphasises the key aural difference: the Stingray sounds "looser" whereas the Bongo is more tight and compressed. Obviously though the fretless-ness is going to overpower that though!
  15. Killerfridge
    I said I'd do it didn't I? Ignore the slightly dodgy transitions, everything set flat recorded DI through a VT Bass also set flat, blend at 50%:
  16. Killerfridge
    If I didn't have flat wounds on my L2000 I would add that to the comparison too!
  17. Killerfridge
    I hear it as the difference between a P (Stingray) and a J (Bongo). The Stingray sits in the mix, whilst the Bongo more punchy and wants to push through the mix into your ears!. I'll upload a couple of clips compared to a (fretless) Stingray. Whilst not a true comparison it gives a good idea of the sound profile!

    £100 price drop as I have found a couple of extra marks on the back of the body that I haven't pictured (yet), so it seems only fair. Pictures will be uploaded shortly
  19. Killerfridge
    Oh man, that is a pretty Spector; if I hadn't come to the "Stingray Realization" that prompted this sale I would have bitten your hand off for a trade
  20. Killerfridge
    The figuring on that Thumb is beautiful. Also your playing, but mostly the Thumb
  21. Killerfridge
    Quick attempt at a cool little hook: Dontcha by The Internet
  22. Killerfridge
    Wow, that is absolutely stunning, I can't imagine what would bring you to part with it!
  23. Killerfridge
    That neck is absolutely nuts, I love the binding!
  24. Killerfridge
    Such a great bass, really tight compressed low end with a great sparkly top, if I didn't already have one I would be all over it!
  25. Killerfridge
    What an absolute beauty of a Bongo, and they sound absolutely incredible (I should know, currently have a 5 string for sale on the marketplace wink wink). The only sellers remorse I've had was a Stingray 5 HH that I wish I still had. It's not remorse as such, I just wish I'd kept it a bit longer than the 3 months before I traded it for something more special!
