Raggy

Congratulations, I bet that sounds glorious.

Every time I've used a bass fitted with the PJ configuration, the J gets turned off. Always sounds a bit too hollow and scooped for my tastes. 

Yes from me. Despite owning several Fenders and a custom built P Bass.

The real difference is that the mids on the Para Driver are sweepable, from something like 170Hz to 3kHz whereas on the V2 Bass Driver there are just the two frequencies. The V2 also sounded less scooped overall to me when I had one briefly, much more "chunky" sounding imo.

Thanks Loz

So is there much difference between the Para Driver and the V2 Bass Driver?

GK also recommend having the master up high and adjusting the input stage, at least for the MB800 head i have.

Yup, that seems to be the GK way.

Oh my 

I’d just logged onto here to post a SansAmp or EHX Battalion thread, but I really like the idea of kicking in and out a bit of grit, so the EHX might suit my needs better.

Will be interested in your thoughts after a bit of use..

Gerry is a top bloke, my band Rotten Aces are there, but I’m not, which I’m gutted about. He does so much for charity. Sounds of the Cotswolds is another he organises. There must be someone out there who can help. 

I think the drive section has 'more' and the power has been given a bit of an oomph.

Cracking bass Dave, congratulations. Love those necks.

A fleeting resurrection of this thread to (tentatively!) post some studio recordings, for anyone who might be interested (Yamaha 2024 bass via mic-ed up Orange 4 Stroke). Don't judge my haphazard playing lol - its only so you can hear the amp in a recorded / band setting, as I don't think there are many examples around.

I liked that, (the tone and playing/song, cheers).

I've been torn between one of these and the GK Fusion 550.

I used a Les Paul switch plate I had (Treble/Rhythm) just turned it over. Already had the vintage looking knobs. Bought a black jack socket washer and nut from eBay as a pick guard bracket in black. All bought for pence. The pick guard its self came from Jacksinstrumentsupplies.com. Great and easy to deal with. Sent my original and they copied it to spec and returned them both in about a week. Cost was just £29 then I transferred the Epiphone logo from my original. Hope that helps. Andy

Great stuff, thank you.

Hi all - I recently bought a Casady from Basschats own Mickeyboro. I was surprised at how sweetly it plays. I didn't especially like the amber knobs that come as standard so made a few aesthetic changes by adding a black switch control plate, black jack washer, new knobs and had a new custom pick guard made in black.

Now looks badass and proud.

Hope you approve. I think these are great value for money.

Looks great, would you mind telling me where you sourced the parts from?

Yes, it will be told once we sure there is no truth in her reporting us to the police! All I can say at this stage is that if anyone is offered a gig around Melksham it might be worth checking with me that you're about to play the gig you'll never forget, for all the wrong reasons!!

Got a feeling I [i]might[/i] know that venue

A quick look here in the specs, its says latching.

Bumping this, i can vouch for FerDeLane, a top chap to deal with.

Had an LH500 with 2 Trace Elliot compact 15's, great for Punk.

Develop your sound. Make it a good one then use it on everything. No really, everything. Make those songs yours.

This.

Damn, this comes up just after i've bought a new exhaust for my bike.

Gorgeous bass.

There is a thread here that might shed some light

Slightly odd relic'ing, never seen an actual vintage with that kind of wear......but other than that, looks cool!

Agreed. Very strange relic'ing
