  1. Seems I forgot to add that £180 Ono includes U.K. postage . So it’s cheaper

    Darkglass Anagram

    I doubt it would be boss/ehx/Mxr as frankly if they wanted too they could bring their own anagram type unit to market - and they aren’t going to undercut their own products. I imagine it will be things like is it the Valhalla reverb where a plug-in can find a new audience and compete with something like blackhole

    what do you think the plan is with 3rd party blocks? If I were Darkglass it almost would make sense to focus on the drives and comp (which Darkglass are known for) and let others develop the other stuff?

    I like your icon/personal brand at the end
  6. There’s a link between Cimar and Ibanez I think - but later in the 70s or 80s than this bass
  7. 1974-76 Diplomat Jazz bass - Made in Japan and looks to be similar to the Cimar 1905 model - but branded Diplomat who I think were a Kiwi brand? I had one of these years back and it was amazing. A really fun playable bass, that was just enjoyable to play. A mate took it off me and still uses it regularly. I've kept my eyes open for one ever since... spotted this, did it up with new bridge and fixed the wiring with two new pots and got it all set up and... It is a really fun playable bass and enjoyable to play... but unlike years ago I've got 3 other basses that do that jazz bass thing, including my main one, and I can just see this gathering dust... so offering it up for sale or trade, just to get money back £180 posted Ono - or trades The Good Its a fun bass to play It's pretty light weight Solid Ash body Mostly original and it really good condition for the age Nice vintage style sound The original bridges on these are evil things with sharp screws - it was also missing two parts - I replaced it with a Gotoh Sets up and intonate well Looks cool really nice neck to play Save money compared to an original 70's fender Comes with old sadowsky blue rounds AND a set of flats that came with it. The look, sound and feel like TI jazz flats I've got on my other bass but I'm only 95% sure they are - I'll set it up for you with either. The Bad From the era just before Japanese basses became accurate - so note the square heel and I think it's 33.5inch scale. Pickups are normal size but with the classic curved ends. So if classic Japanese basses aren't your thing and you are looking for a mod platform - it will do that but not be drop-in for fender parts. With where the bridge pickup was tucked close to the bridge to fit under the original cover, and with the Gotoh bridge being a fair bit longer it looks like the bridge and pickup are closer than a 34in fender bass. The bridge probably could go back a bit if you wanted. The Ugly It could probably do with shielding to get it quieter So it's a fairly cheap, fun, old bass. Anyone have any love for it? Trades... try me, P basses, Telecaster copies, jazz master, Microkorg or similar simple synth... I also seem to like trying effects pedals... .
  8. host plus version says "host" above button B
  9. There’s two versions - the original and the plus - both can come with by adapter - the plus version will do midi host. I’ve not actually owned one, @rwillett has…
  10. Ever buy a bass and know you will be selling it within a few hours :(

      I bought a Sandberg a couple of years ago and almost out the box knew it wasn't for me. Should've got a refund (bought it brand new) but I wanted to see if I would get used to it. I did not.

      Yes, every time I've bought a bass in the last 15 years.

      More than I'd care to admit

  11. Mvave chocolate plus will do if you want a cheap alternative
  12. Can your midi controller do usb host?
  13. these were good - Ild buy one
  14. thing is they are all inconsistent enough I think I'ld be tempted to play them. If I were looking I remember liking the old AVRI stuff... but not so much whenever it was the '62ri turned into a '63ri - but that's one opinion based on a limited sample size of half a dozen basses. Japanese are good as I think they are more consistent. One of the best Fender P basses I tried was Mexican ... but others have been dogs. If I were in the market and had the budget I'ld be driving to try this and see if it justified it, just cos it looks cool.
  15. that's obviously on a active circuit. The Bill Lawrence link looks interesting. He's also a legend and I'm an idiot so don't listen to me. The G&L OMG switch is actually series mode - so naturally way louder with more bass and treble - and then using a capacitor to take off the treble - leaving the massive bottom end to bother the PA! If I had known now what I know now I would have bought a HPF to take off the subs and kept that L1000
  16. it's not difficult to do on a circuit, depending on how it's powered there will be a resistor to ground before the first input stage, change that and it changes the input resistance. something like this before the first IC ... gives you three difference impedances. (R1 and R27, and R2 and R26, can be combined - I just split them into two to take advantage of JLCPCB's cheaper SMD reisistors) So in this case 20M with switch in middle or 3.33M or 1.4M in left or right positions... (except there's other things going on in this circuit so it will end up 10M, 1.67M and 700k )
  17. You tempted to add all 3 modes on the pickups and the push pull tone cap on the volume like the real one?
  18. Looks like the kinda thing @binky_bass would go for
  19. I love my PF101 - it just works and sounds good in a musical way

    CPC version of Lumberg jacks are very good 👍
  22. It’s interesting how at various times Zoom and Eventide have tried the “buy the hardware and then paid software add ons” - which in theory should work - but in practice people just want to buy a thing and have all of it.

    I ordered a tayda order on Monday morning - it's due here today. That's quicker than most UK based sellers!
