I've never owned a Sansamp before, and haven't tried to get anything approaching one. You could always try an SVT-esq amp block with the cab turned off? For an always on overdrive, I've got a split signal running into a natural OD and the bass OD in parallel. I think they've both got a bit of clean blend and I want to say a bit of bass rolled off on the bass OD. Seems to do the trick for me very nicely.

Seems to be. I've been tracking the prices like a hawk 😅 Actually, Fair Deal have it for £875 https://www.fairdealmusic.co.uk/products/darkglass-anagram-bass-multi-effects

@Al Krow you need the bass amp block to find the Fat Tube amp. There's the whole bass effects section at the end of the block list if you haven't found them yet!

I reckon the F10 DX/DC will be more around £1600+. The current F10 is £1500 already.

Does anyone near Bristol have one I could spend some time with? Happy to book out an hour at a rehearsal space. I'm a gnats codpiece away from selling some gear to buy one.

Looks like mine is still stuck somewhere. Hopefully it turns up on Monday!

@Al Krow absolutely! That's quite the leak!

I got my GX-100 from them but on Reverb and was able to register the warranty on Boss' website with them appearing in the list of suppliers. I'd trust the seller. Very odd pedal though. I wonder if it'll be a NAMM release? Stripped down GX unit to maybe compete with Valeton prices? You wouldn't create retail packaging for a prototype.

Well, it's a good job I added a new set of string to the order then! Looks great!

How efficient have they been?

I saw on Instagram that @Goliath_FX has had one arrive! Any first impressions? It looked cool! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS5j34ODfAm/?igsh=MmxnbHZuMnJlN3Fr

Shipped! Fingers crossed for Friday!

It has to be done. For science. Purely research!

Looks like it went back up to normal price after it sold out. It was showing as £70, so the code took it down to £63.

No, you can do all of the input gain and waveform stuff too! Start at page 73 of the manual.

@HeadlessBassist exactly! Pay no attention to the RRP though. It usually sells more around £130-150.

I've been tempted. For £63 with the discount code, it seems rude not to, especially when I sold a guitar recently and there's another bass I've been looking to sell! Let's see what turns up. Should be here on the 2nd. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/fazley-outlaw-series-judge-plus-green-electric-bass-guitar-with-gig-bag

Really enjoying mine now I have it. I think I prefer the dirt in this compared to my GX-100. It's a shame you can't stack dirt though. And the Mesa amp sounds great with a bit of EQ changes to suit the bass. The reverbs and delays aren't as good as my Boss unit though.

I know my brother has got me a Valeton GP-5. We spent today with the in-laws, we'll see them tomorrow. Looking forward to trying out some NAM pedal captures in the loop of my GX-100.

I was having fun with my GX-100 at lunch today. Managed to make a couple of fairly cool synth sounds with the bass harmoniser, bit of dirt, touch wah, guitar harmoniser, flanger/phaser, delay, shimmer reverb, vibrato, humaniser. BassSynth.mp3 BassSynth2.mp3

Yeah, I got my Dingwall Combustion as an engagement present from my wife when she got her ring. Huuuuuuuge sentimental value. Then after a difficult few years mental health wise after our daughter was born, we thought we'd get eternity presents now we're all doing better. She got a ring, I got my Spector Icon 😅 It does feel a bit like cheating on my Combustion. And then that feels a bit like cheating on my Mustang which I'm now even considering selling...

Overload Guitars in Italy do them too. https://www.overloadguitars.com/basses

Is it worth checking if your phone can connect like that?

For £869, I'm really enjoying my new NS Icon 5. It's a lovely bass at that price and definitley has the Spector DNA in it even if it isn't totally traditional electronics wise. I feel like a used Euro would be a safe bet too. I played some 4 string Euros at a bass bash and they were very well put together.

It all depends on the music you listen to. Have a look at the artist pages on their respective websites, you might be surprised! Leland Sklar features on both. What surprises me about Hofner is that they didn't come out with a Macca endorsed copy of his original Hofner aafter it resurfaced. I imagine they'd have sold like hot cakes to bassists and collectors.
