Nice! Where did you get it, anymore available?

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1432766714' post='2784890'] so would you say it would give a nice tubey/motown type of drive, the same way the solid gold beta drive does? I quite fancy one of these myself [/quote] I've not played one in person, but the demos suggest to me that Motown style is not it's forte. Best pedals for that (IMHO) are either a v1 Catalinbread SFT (older one with the white knobs) or a Bearfoot Blueberry. Both more expensive than the EHX though, granted!

My B9 tracks below A no problem - but for some reason it can't handle the actual open A!

There's an Epiphone Classic Pro Thunderbird out now though Blue, which has neck through construction and Gibson USA pickups, there's not much between that model and the Gibson. Unfortunately they don't have a Flying V equivalent though!

Ignore the preamp label, it's basically a bass friendly tubescreamer overdrive pedal!

I've not tried it with an aggressive active bass yet, so not entirely sure! In my hands the pedal sounds totally different - it is a very dark/warm/tubey sound, much like the Blueberry. I doubt I will be keeping both as they are so similar, after this weekend you might even see this in the classifieds!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1432017766' post='2777198'] if that 10% is weight then worth it. [/quote] Good luck, my BB1025X is much heavier than my old BB415! I think it is purely luck of the draw, assuming they both use the same body wood it varies from tree to tree!

Wow, ordered from Tonefactor on Saturday night and it's here already! Just did a quick A/B with the Bearfoot Blueberry. They sound VERY close indeed, it's definitely a Honey Bee / Blueberry derivative rather than a screamer-type drive. I think the Blueberry just about edges it though. But only just!

I was just going to say - makes me want to get a TFR again! Studio monitors are rumbling!

PMT Cambridge had a 1025X in last time I was there but that was quite a while ago! The only reason I'd get rid of mine is if a black 2025X came up for sale!

Just ordered one of these, sounds like a nice tubey OD, tiny footprint and BJF designed so may share some similarities with the Blueberry (sure sounds like it from the demo): http://www.one-control.com/hookers-green-bassmachine.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww1civXp2-I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHTk_xikJqc

I love TIs on my P-Bass but my favourites for fretless are Status half-rounds. Smooth like flats but with a bit more zing, low tension, and won't chew up the fretboard like rounds can.

How about taking the 78 in for a pro setup to see if you can get the playability to match the other bass? And if you've already tried that, perhaps try a different luthier or a PLEK setup?

I don't think Eden will sell a huge number of these... things would be different if it were smaller and 9v powered though, perhaps some market research would have told them that!

A bit late now, but another option would've been to keep the B3K and run it into this which should be out next week!

He's either joking or he's an idiot.

I have a pair of Ampeg SVT210AV cabs, together they're like half of an 810 fridge. I wouldn't want to balance a big amp on top though!

Hmm, no centre detents on any of these according to the listings, the search continues... This place has them! Made by Noble: http://www.bestbassgear.com/pots.htm $18 a pop though! EDIT: And ordered. Consider this thread closed!

I'd tread carefully if ordering one of those.
