Any pedals you're particularly after at the mo?

This is a little bit tempting when thinking of downsizing! Looks nice.

TC Poly clip on is great. Never liked a clip on previously, but trust this. Never liked that thing where you strum all the strings together though.

Has anyone tried using an Orange Terror Bass 500 as a poweramp, with the Kemper through the effects loop? Would this idea be good or bad?

SOLD. Cheers.

SOLD. Cheers.

I don't get it. I must have missed something...

Dunno what year mine is from, but it's never had a problem.

I have one... actually I am onto my second...

I used it for only a section of a song live, so quickly whip it off and lob it aside to carry on playing, but without fail always forgot to pick it up at the end of the set, so lost it in Croydon, and it was kindly posted back to me, then lost it in Edinburgh, which I never got back.

If I lose this next one, I wont bother with a third.

Any idea what the power handling and impedance are?

Pretty sure my Vintage is 1000 watts and 4 ohms.

Wish I could have two

I would say best is eventide pitchfactor, but sadly not the cheapest

Can anyone tell me what sort of space these things have for controls etc.? Would a darkglass tone capsule preamp fit?

Orange Bass Terror, doesn't get simpler than that, the EQ barely does anything

I really need to have a good play on one of these.

It looks great, and in theory I think it must surely sound great, but I saw one used live for the first time this weekend and it seemed really weak and thin... Maybe it was just the way the person had it set.

Shouldn't get stung again if it's labelled as a "warranty return" I don't think...

Finally got round to putting my LaBella roundwounds on mine, and it made such a difference. Why would they put such rubbish strings on to send these out?

I can vouch for '79s

Which forums would you suggest? I only use Joinmyband currently and perhaps this is where I have been going wrong. Certainly Jazz circles don't use this medium as there are plenty of workshops around Sheffield which probably pre-occupy their time.

I tend to see most stuff on Facebook groups really, things like one called 'The Math Rock/Instrumental/Post Rock exchange' or on pages and websites for relevant festivals such as ArcTangent Festival.

I don't know where exactly Yorkshire you are, but check out a band called Order of Voices, they touch on the Tool-esque. They are from Barnsley/Sheffield type way. Played some gigs with them and have stayed in touch. Top blokes.

Where are you based?

EDIT: ArcTangent mentioned whilst I was typing my response - Great minds eh

...and then there are further niches within the genre.

Valid point that.

You may not be looking in the right places as there are people playing stuff that at the very least touches on prog all over.

You tried any prog specific forums maybe?

I phoned to check why my tracking wasn't working...

"Dear Customer,
thank you for your e-mail and your patient, the shipment was delayed at DHL and they can't explain why.
Please excuse the delay."

Haha, lucky I'm not in a rush and am patient, just happy to know one is on the way

Seen one doing the rounds lately that I wanna see...

Not very impressed with the shipping times...

I ordered one pretty much as soon as the OP went up, and got a confirmation first thing the following morning (Tuesday) with a message saying that it would be delivered in the next 2-3 days. Well today's Parcel Force delivery has been and gone with nothing for me, and the tracking information has the bass still stuck in Köln...

Pretty much the same here, except the DHL tracking ref I have doesn't work for me :/

Luckily I'm in no rush.

Only thing I'm wondering, since they put the price back up, is anything gonna get sent out even though the email already says it has? I'll wait and see...

I've voted 'other'

I would (and did) go for the Abominable Electronics Hail Satan, or keeping it closer to home, as mentioned already, the fantastic Cog Effects!
