I love a happy ending to a story with a few twists and turns along the way!

BigRedX that vibracell looks amazing, what a great concept! I've had four MM rays, two 4 strings a 5 and a fretless 5, all good, the ray5 stayed with me as my main bass for a good while but ultimately they had to go, the 4's weren't thick enough sounding and I always wanted more from the 5's... I've bought/traded/sold maybe 30 basses in the last 20 years and don't regret saying goodbye to any, they all felt/sounded good when I got them but their time was done and my needs had changed. I like my Lakland 55-02 and it does what I need just now, that may change if the music I play changes again...if only I could have (and had room to store) about 10 basses! My gorgeous sounding and playing '61 p-bass copy is getting the least airtime so might have to go purely for space reasons which is the wrong reason to sell I think!

I got my 55-02 earlier this year and it's flawless, the 55-01 I had before it was similarly perfect. That said, the dj5 I tried was seriously crappy, the neck felt terrible!

On my phone's crappy speaker it sounds like fuzz bass to me, something that has a wet/dry mix knob would be great, and probably an octaver too wouldn't do any harm

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1344948114' post='1771470'] Joe Meek Floor Q Markbass Compressore [/quote] Thanks for the superb answer 51mon, will have a proper look at the Joe meek as it runs on normal power rather than a 12v supply like the markbass so will more easily slot into my setup...

So, I have an EBS multicomp and kinda like it, it's always on and just cleans everything up a bit, very handy... There are songs that would benefit from a volume boost and a bit more compression in certain parts to aid slapping noises to cut through... Is there a compressor that sounds really good (like the ebs or preferably better) AND has a delectable and controllable second stage? or Would a clean boost do that job loads better, if so, which one? Also, what better comp pedals are out there too? Ta folks

Having listened to your ep on repeat last night, my only criticism is that it's not long enough

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1343895907' post='1756841'] C'mon! You know he actually wants to do Vigier! [/quote] He'll be seeing the world doing these 'factory tours' for our benefit

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1343866398' post='1756727'] P.S I just posted the link on Talkbass in the 'Strings' forum, reckon that's OK? I just thought for the US customers it would be especially interesting; they probably see Rotos as quite exotic! ped [/quote] I reckon rotosound will be well pleased with the free advertising, I'd let them know you've done it so they know where the vid is being seen and how many folks it could be reaching, they'll be super chuffed I should think! Looking forward to more of these! Warwick next, then...? TCE Sadowsky? Lakland? EBS? Epifani? Genz Benz? ACG? sfx?

Superb and really interesting, very human insight into string making and a very British company!
