We're not as good at building up our brands and them creating brand equity as our US cousins? Some of the US brands also has a very distinctive core tone, if you want a Sadowsky sound you probably need a Sadowsky. If you want the Ken Smith thing, buy a Ken smith etc... With the exception of Status and Wal a lot of our builders make instruments less focused on their core tone thing. Gus I guess unmatched visually. I think that makes it a harder sell to get brand equity... Every single Overwater I've played and heard has been an amazing professional level instrument - and with a tone that could sit anywhere in any genre. I guess that's why so many pro players use them... but that tone that could sit anywhere also means it doesn't stand out as much? (I dunno, that's my theory, maybe I'm just annoyed I didn't buy that Overwater @briansbrew was selling last week? )

That has to be the most expensive used Lakland skyline I’ve seen

Overwater Wal ACG Zoot Alpher Status (up to recently) GB Jaydee Shuker Of them Overwater are probably the most comparable in terms of being slightly bigger operation.

Ok - so it sounds like I just need to wait

Anyone here ordered from PedalPCB? How long it take to get here? Mine reached the UK two weeks ago so guess caught in customs limbo

Sure - don’t you know that over £100 for headphones (on a forum where basses are regularly 10x that have been advertised for 100x that) is blatant flaunting of your wealth?!

They might not have responsibility - but even if you paid £200 for them to draw up the documents for you that show the ivory was reclaimed from an early piano would be cheaper and less risky than finding someone to remove replace and repair any fretwork. the other benefit is anything else that is near restricted in the guitar like mother of Pearl will also be documented - who knows in 5 year time what will he restricted

@jimbobothy showed me his Zoia and it kinda blew my mind a little bit

A year on, it really reads oddly without the context

Sire - Export version of the domestic Dame init?

I have some that are 600Ohm the 2021- MacBook Pro's can drive them providing you don't mind it being quite quiet. I ended up buying a Behringer mini mixing desk as it was the cheapest way to get something with the power to drive them! u ok hun?

The Transducer Testing Transit

is the bass juice the one that was on sale here a week or so back?

it sounded so bad in that clip I did wonder if something was wrong with it?

Just bodge some drivers in a box and use something to tune it the best you can? 🤷 I dont really get it tbh - the cheapest way in terms of time and money is to buy something - if you are investing time in making nice boxes (nice hardwood outers?) why not spend enough to get something better technically than anything you could afford to buy? plus then you get to level up your bragging rights!

Alder first, Merenti second? Guessing just cos I want bonus point more than any real conviction

my faves.... The two Origin effects ones, though is it cheating as they have amp sim on? The two Tech 21 rack models, VT bass and Geddy sig The Digbeth thing also stood out, I've not heard of that one before Also nice most the time but not as nice as the above The Badwater, and the Bass butler

Are there not diy plans for hifi stuff you could follow in the same way there are some diy plans for bass cabs?

Of course if they go up to 11 that’s one better…

Ignoring switches I count 94 knobs and sliders … presuming 10 distinct positions on each knob that’s 10000 0000000000 0000000000 00000000000000000000 0000000000 00000000000000000000 0000000000 0000000000 options

Measure the pickup placement for us when it arrives?

Isn’t tone doing crossover point? Or is that a boost? I’ve got a crossover drive pedal that has adjustable crossover and does similar things to the EBS - it’s nice

“Off the shelf” with 4 pedals that look like you built them… not just got them off the shelf!!
