Tom is an artist and a gentleman. Highly recommended.

I have had the QM 6 on my pedal board for a bit now, by far the lightest, perhaps the smallest and certainly one of the best pedal switching systems around. +1 to the review above.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with this cab, sounds a real trouser flapper!

Lovely full tubes gents!

Job description did say "must have mild S&M tendencies". Yeah to BC!

As a premium builder in a market where there is a lot of competition (Lull, Sadowsky, FBass, Suhr etc etc) you simply cannot afford to give no customer service and to be frank the whole story seems hard to believe because of it. IMO Two things that can be taken from this, never buy a really expensive bass without seeing it first and never buy a really expensive bass

flats will help but you get closest by palm muting your strings, imo the right palm mute technique is a bigger must to get that upright sound than strings.

Tom did a great job on the Grand Tarkin as he has named the production model of Harvey's Wallbanger (my son is called Harvey, fuzz is a wallbanger blah blah etc). My feedback/review on it is under COG in the Affiliates section if you want to take a gander. I really like it and I am spoiled when it comes to pedals.

Time for an update.

There are 4 gain/ dirt stages: Carl Martin Bass drive (low gain tube breakup), MXR Bass OD (medium gain), COG Fuzz (settings pretty heavy) and lastly the excellent B3K distortion ( hi gain distortion). I use these separate and combined. Then a simple EBS Octabass, MXR Bass Envelope and MXR Chorus for more sonic goodness and lastly an MXR Line Driver for Clean Boost and a Korg Tuner. My board is a Pedaltrain PT3 and I have 2 Voodoo Lab power plants installed to power it all.

Isn't this more about the ridiculous prices Fender charges for their Custom Shop models than anything else? I have actually played a Pino and it was an absolute dream to play (TI flats rock!), but it was not better than for instance my old Lull PJ with TIs which was a lot cheaper and probably not hugely better than any well built Fender standard P (you can luck into a really good one, like on of my mates). Personally I don't get spending that much on an instrument (and it gets progressively worse when you start looking at Alleva, Fodera etc), especially since I can guarantee you that a lot of the people that own instruments like it are part time hobby musicians, it's like having a Rolls and only using it for the weekly ASDA trip. I get it even less that you then take this 8 grand custom art work to the local pub and gig it over the 50 quid Behringer 1x10, as that is like driving your Roller to the ASDA on wooden wheels. My point? If you are ridiculously rich or stupid or just really want it or whatever, do it, but a VW Golf will do the weekly ASDA trip as well. And as

There is some sort of filter effect going on. The sonic landscape is painted by bass and guitars, but if I were to cover this song I would be trying low gain OD into envelope filter (very light!) into sft (does the whole doom thing nicely). Muff based fuzz with blend and mid control would also work for sft. What do you guys think?

Can't beat a Muff based fuzz!
