Or rather than a trickle every month - save them up in one big bash for Christmas…

Great work - I spied the drolo in the for sale, and figured it would be an easy fix - but would have boarded space for it!! It will work, but for next time replacing the links between the boards with the longer cables isn’t best idea… there’s the aim to keep tracks to the minimum you can to fit it all in, and also in some cases thr circuitry that the cables are looped over might cause noise in the signal. Nice work though! Tayda are a legit cheap supplier, a lot of parts are generic so you could have found any pot the same size and value.

+100 I just wish someone else was making video clips of the FI4!

Updated my previous post to correct - cheers @Al Krow

With the caveat that hundreds of bass players have owned and loved this pedal… Tracking was the wrong word! I meant latentcy - I couldn’t live with the slight latentcy and thr attack of the thing - I don’t know how to describe it but it was a me thing, and I could hear it listening to a video so it can’t just be latentcy …

I had no idea if he's a member on here or anything so kept my thoughts to myself - but would agree - it's painful watching! @Kev - skip through and miss bits! My take, reinforces what I thought - Enzo X probably not deigned for bass... C4, the thing that annoyed me with the attack of the note you could hear on the video (bought and sold one twice) FI4 - sounds best to me and can do a lot MXR - pretty much on par and can do less with a simpler interface.

Kinda long video from someone who is doing the whole livestream thing - but somewhere in there is comparing the MXR, Enzo X, C4 and FI4 all custom settings as he’s the kinda guy who wants you to buy stuff on his patreon …

Bingo! “Bigredx mentioning Gus in a completely unrelated thread” was the last thing I needed for the Basschat bingo game.

I am saving this for when my wife moans about my mess! (I need to google what PiPedal is!)

go on, you never played effect pedal Russian roulette you've never lived - supreme confidence and you just go for it- like skydiving where you jump out the plane before checking your chute...

- why not? They own it now. (That bit of his history)

is that Ashdown recreating a LS-2 in a handy pedalboard sized enclosure?

Good point to recomend listening to the exceptional and recently released track “Fairchild” by Dave, that kinda touches on this kinda thing

If I were Fender … I would keep the Fullerton site and Leo’s stuff and make it a museum/shop and maybe move custom shop there if feasible, for the legacy thing I would use Leo’s signature and face on things loads more… I would leave it a few years and then bring a few G&L designs out the custom shop… then a limited version of the legacy line made abroad …

But their model is via their dealer network isn’t it? Direct to consumer must be a much smaller part of that annual revenue. also the shopify costs go on a bit of the ballance sheets that looks far better to investors than taking staff on to manage what could easily become a tech liability.

knock £150 or so off and I'll take it?

I’ve not met you, but imagine you have larger hands than average!

Or have the notifications for new threads turned on…

If you think back 12-15 years - the pound was fairly strong, interest rates were very low and it really was either basschat or eBay to sell things. it kinda makes sense that a smaller forum would have a sense of value of things that would be fairly static- so me buying a Mesa from @Beedster in 2011 for £400 and selling it again 3 years later I would probably sell it here, for about £400 - we all had ideas of value based on past sales. since then- inflation has shot up, the pound lost a lot of value because of B…reasons and general prices of new things have gone up lots- even compared to inflation. EBay has been joined by fb marketplace and reverb as places to sell - and reverb prices asked rather than sold or auction encourages higher asking prices. Covid left a lot of musicians with no work, and a lot of other people with money to burn- all pushing some prices up… in that environment and a standard USA fender nearing £2k new, how much something is “worth” isn’t as nailed down. So people’s behaviour changes mind you there’s some stuff in the for sale forum that’s been there ages - it’s not flipping if it doesn’t flip!
