FWIW, some people seem to have cracked driving this pedal with a bass:

Here's a 28'' scale fretless I just finished (build thread in the Build diaries section). It's called the Flea Market Funk Machine as it was made entirely out of wood from furniture found at flea markets.

 

 

 

 

Nice idea on the different length lines.

My new Franz is chambered

Wow  . Late comment, but I'd like to hear more about/of that. Did you do a demo ? Is it the Ralf Glauck model, but additionally cambered ?

For me last nights show was an absolute game changer... Joe darts solos are of course gratuitous by nature but the groove NEVER suffers. Just as danceable as the rest of his playing. Not sure I'd ever be able to dance to a Wooten solo! ;-)

I'd buy a Vulfpeck tab book!

Me too.

Joey Dosik opened with an acapella number on Saturday and had the audience in the palm of his hand from that moment on. Awesome voice, not the kind of thing I'd go out and buy however but a huge talent none the less.

I was utterly gobsmacked by vulfpeck however ... exceeded expectations by a good margin

Saturday night was awesome. On audience participation, it looked like the whole audience not only knew lyrics, but also sang the instrumental riffs too. Joe Dart got a very long (embarrassingly long to him, it seemed) ovation for a ridiculously funky and fast solo on 'beastly'.

I hadn't realised they didn't have a fixed drummer. Jack and Theo swapped in that role, in fact, those two played every instrument on stage at some point (either with Vulfpeck or Joe Dosik)

... and here's the evidence:

Surprised this is still here ... awesome bass-friendly fuzz.

Smashing bass. If I didn't already have a Deep 5 I could well be considering this. GLWTS.

Love these ... can't get on with the narrow spacing on the 5's unfortunately otherwise I'm sure I'd own one by now.

Ok, thanks.

Looks gorgeous ... what's the scale length and string spacing (bridge) please ?

Actually, I'm now pretty sure it's Terrence Houston:

Awesome ... and he knows it I don't know if he did this stunt when you saw him, but at one point he took off his t-shirt (slogan 'I will funk you to death') hung it right over his head, so he couldn't see, and then proceeded to play the most amazing solo

Looks like that's now his regular party-piece:

Gets my vote

[quote name='MothBox' timestamp='1421332740' post='2659989'][b]Kalikot Audio Hikari [/b][size=4]- heard it was based on a Dementer. Use as a boost to goose the Beta. Currently flicking between the Opto and this to see what works best.[/size]

Does that mean you're not really using it as a comp ? Got to say, I'd like to hear about how it performs as a comp.

What's the string spacing please ? And/or is that a genuine MM pickup (which would tend to imply standard MM spacing) ?

My 55-94D pre dates the dip switches.

My 2005 55-94D does have a bart pre like yours, but it also has (a different set of) dip switches. That one is set at 250.

275 definitely, boosted to 1-2 o'clock , maybe 3 if I'm boosting bass a little too. Nice and fat.

Wow that is nice (didn't check the pic before) ... almost nice enough to pull me back from the dark side to 4-strings again

Well spotted...

I never miss a new lakie listed on Talkbass thanks to IFTTT.com

There was, the 44-76, but they are equally rare. Worth looking around for, though!

Funnily enough, a 4-76 has just been listed on talkbass.
