I discovered them the same way and so glad I took the risk on getting one
-
That zebrano wood top looks amazing! Congratulations on an awesome bass
-
Thanks, it is a bit of beast but really wanted to have the maximum scale as I use the b a lot. Bet your status is lovely to play!
-
Thanks so much! This is my first headless so still getting to grips and always finding new little details to admire
-
Thanks. I have two multiscale basses now and I don’t think I’ll go back. The clarity of the b string is just amazing, plus I just love the look
-
Sure, here you go. It does finish the top of the neck really nicely
-
I think it really works, though the only reference I really have in terms of fanned fretted basses is my Dingwall combustion. Tap far this feels like it has more low end punch to it. Really enjoying playing with the tone too
-
Thanks, I love the shape so much. Feels really great to play too

NBD! I’m now the very proud owner of this Overload Achilles bass. Absolutely in love with how it sounds, really nice deep tone and lovely to play. Matteo at Overload was awesome, helping me decide the final spec and walking me through the process. I had a lot questions about ordering a custom bass, such as woods and shipping that I posed on this site, so a huge thank you to everyone who answered them and patience on follow up questions. It great to have such a responsive and lovely community here that helped so much in choosing what to do. For any one interested in spec: 5 string Achilles Bass 34-37’’ Multiscale Body wood: Swamp Ash Top Wood: Poplar Burl with Wenge layer Neck: Wenge and Bubinga Fretboard: Birdseye Maple Pickups: Nordstrand Big Blade Preamp: Aguilar OBP-3 Schaller Straplock Gator hard case Gruv gear Neo Solo Strap

Awesome, thanks, highly recommended! The fuzz alone is great and the wah is so much fun to use
-
So just an update, I got one of these a week ago and absolutely love it! Love the wah settings and the distortion has a great tone. Out of the distortions Iv tried this is only second to the darkglass duality in quality. can’t recommend this wah pedal enough
-
Absolutely love it, but yes it takes up a lot of real estate on the board. I like that is only engaged when the rocker is down, so no switch to tap under the rocker to engage it. The wahs are both great but much prefer the wah over the uk filter. the vintage fuzz is clear and out of all the fuzz pedals Iv tried it only comes second to the darkglass duality. I love how the pedal accentuates my overdrive too to give some great attack sounds. overall loving this pedal, can’t recommend it enough
-
Finally decided to take the plunge and get a Justin Chancellor Wah pedal and got to on the board today. Can’t wait to let this loose in a band practise. Hopefully it’s worth the extra weight carrying it around
-
Thanks so much, that clears it up as a lot of sites still say preorder, but looks like a lot are just out of stock. The pedal sounds really awesome, I’m ideally looking for it to give me some cool synthy sounds, but also give me a new dimension and dynamic to my fuzz and distortion bass lines.
-
Hi, I’m not sure if this has actually been released or if it’s been pushed back, but wondered if anyone has got hold of a Justin Chancellor Wah and if so what you think of it? Is it worth the £300 price tag? https://www.jimdunlop.com/justin-chancellor-cry-baby-wah/ Thanks, Rick

bump for price drop, now £150 -

Thought I would just update this topic. In the end I went with the darkglass microtubes 900 v2 and a Vanderkley 112 MNT. the darkglass has such an amazing clean tone and it really was a bit above others I tried. The distortion circuit is also amazing and looking forward to seeing how I can make more use of it. The Vanderkley was recommended by a number of people and really clear when using the low b string and sounds massive.

Hi, Thanks for looking. I am selling my Trace Elliott GP7SM Combo that I have had for about 10 years. Its a 250w combo that sounds great, but sadly is just a bit too heavy (34 kg) and bulky for me to take to gigs and so its just taking up room (61 x 59 x 33 cm). It sounds massive for a 250 W combo and the only issue is that the mute button has stopped working. I would prefer pickup from Hitchin, but happy to drive a reasonable distance to drop it off. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Rick

Hi Again, iv been doing a bit of shopping around and tried out a barefaced big baby 2 and 500watt amp. I tried an Aguilar tonehammer and darkglass microtubes 900W and the darkglass was incredible. I think a 500 W darkglass and the barefaced big baby 2 would be a great combo.
-
Nice! I’ll take a look but this seems to be a rabbit hole I might not want to go down at this stage but your setup does sound awesome
-
Awesome, I’ll take a look at the range. Which one would you recommend?
-
Awesome, what power and amp and cab do you have? I think that sounds good, but I would like the option of having an EQable head if I ever don’t need the board.
-
Thanks. At the moment if hopefully star with one cab and see how it goes as Iv not yet played a venue where 2 are required. My budget is flexible but £1500 for both a head and cab would be ideal. What do you recommend?
