    What may help you, is if you tell us whereabouts on the uk ( and a round what time of year) you intend to be in.
    Sorry to sound odd, but it may narrow things down etc.
    Have a bump on the thread any way ;)

    May tour is gonna be Middlesbrough, Manchester, Norwich, Cardiff, Brighton and London, in that order. So anywhere in or around those places is cool :) Cheers.
    June is TBC.

    Weird/fun/unique things to do in the UK?

    So we a have a couple of tours coming up in May and June, and I am looking for things to do around the UK, just little short stops whilst travelling, things to see, places to visit etc.

    Where would anyone recommend stopping/visiting/seeing on our way past if we go anywhere near?

    Strange/weird/unique/gear orientated things all preferred :)

    Cheers.

    Cog T65 - demo....please!

    Anyone else had much of a play with these yet? Sibob, any updates on how yours is treating you, or have I missed a seperate thread?

    One of these is really starting to work its way onto my want list, as I want as close to an OC2 but with more options if possible, and love Toms work.

    Ashdown B Social - really?

    Nate Mendel and his tech spent a week with every bass rig they could get hold of a few weeks before Christmas to test and naturally we were a little concerned, thankfully for us he still preferred his Ashdown set up at the end of it so it starts to grate a little when people start saying things like 'he only uses the gear because he's endorsed' as it is totally untrue.

    Honest question here mate, and I have no beef with Ashdown, they arent for me, but at the same time, my gear isn't for everyone...

    I've only seen Nate Mendel using a Verellen Meatsmoke head on an Ampeg cab these days, and very recently, and is quoted as saying -

    [i]"I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. It’s so nice to be able to plug in your amp and know that it will be loud and clear, and that I don’t have to struggle with an amp that is…struggling"[/i]

    So does that mean he is talking about Ashdown gear?

    The B-Social for me, as everyone else has said, is overpriced, but I am very impressed with the idea if it performs well, and if you are at all interested in genuine feedback, which I am sure you are or else you wouldn't have 80+ posts on a bass forum, I wouldn't buy it for the price, but also the aesthetics and design, again, it's a personal thing, but I can't stand the look of Ashdown gear no matter how it sounds.

    I genuinely hope it sells well and we all eat our hat, as if you progress this side of the bass gear world, hopefully more products will arrive, and we will have more choice.

    What pedal should I get?

    If you wanna thicken it up I would recommend the Abominable Electronics Hail Satan, it's a muff clone with mods that sounds amazing on bass, and if you want even thicker, pop an OC2 in there ;)

    (That's what I do!)

    Barefaced customer service

    I've always been a very happy Barefaced user (a Compact, and then a Vintage) and had great comms with Alex before and after my purchasing experiences, so that's the other side of the coin I guess.

    Barefaced are currently one of the few brands that still consistently gives me GAS, and I hope to get more cabs, if funds would ever allow (I dream of a 2x retro610 setup ;) )

    I am consistently surprised how much stick Alex and Barefaced get, and think that maybe people have so far expected a lot more of such a small company on the rise than they might even get from a bigger faceless company.

    What pedals out there are Boss OC2 clones?

    Firstly, do you mean actual clones, or pedals that are designed to try and get that sound?

    Mainly actual clones, I have a couple of OC2's and that's what I use, but wondered if there was anything that would give me teh very same sound, but with more options and extras to fiddle with?
