[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1352162463' post='1859668'] Hmm... just noticed they do a teeny weeny compressor! Anybody got their mits on one yet? [/quote] It's only been available for a matter of days so you may have to wait a bit. It's allegedly based on a Boss CS-1.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1352129644' post='1859087'] Yup - even if you add other brands like the Joyo and DrJ pedals then the discount gets applied to the entire order! [/quote] Reeeeesult !

Makes sense, the older pedals are the discounted ones from the sound of it. I wonder if a mixed order (old and new) would get the discount across the whole order ?

Marcmart is now listing all the newest pedals with the exception of the lo fi machine. No idea if the discount code still works with these.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1351972288' post='1857510'] The Hustle Drive has a great tone, but too much low-end loss for me. I could perhaps use it in my split channel setup to resolve the low-end issue, but no real use for overdrive there. Nice pedal, but more for guitar than bass I may see about modding it, but tbh, I have stock pedals that do the sound already. Si [/quote] Similar to my first assessment. However I've come to accept it for what it is. It does emphasise the mids but you can set it to keep the same level in the bass and just use it with it's added mids. It's also easy to compensate for the EQ if you're using an active bass. If you reach the conclusion (as I did once) that to use it you need to combine it with an EQ pedal in a loop on an LS-2 (substitute looper of your choice) then you've gone from one pedal to 3 and it doesn't really add up (particularly if you're aiming for a small board like me). If you can find a use for it on it's own, e.g. for me it's a different alternative to my SFX Black Dragon, then it's worth keeping it.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1351821149' post='1855946'] Look what arrived today No customs, and a cool 10 days since ordering! Tests tomorrow [/quote] My marcmart order flew in under the customs radar too Interested to know what you think of that one, I have been a bit on/off about it .... currently 'on'.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1351524994' post='1852154'] I appreciate even for these active pedals it's a squeeze for the few transistors [/quote] Given all the hardware necessary for a looper (2 extra jacks over and above a 'standard' 1590a pedal) I'm amazed there's any space left for electronics at all Interested to hear what you come up with.

[/quote] Yeah I'm looking out for one of those, on one of marcmart, dhgate, or wtfaccessories. (I got my Blues Crab, Ana Echo, and Shimverb when the marcmart code was first publicised). [color=#ff0000][u][b]DISCOUNT ALERT ![/b][/u][/color] Check the [url="http://www.wtfaccessories.com/index.php?dispatch=promotions.list"]WTF promotions page[/url] for discounts on that site. (The mooer code in particular was reported to be working a couple of days ago on TB)

My essentials in priority order: Tuner, Mild overdrive (SFX Red Dragon, VT Bass or Sansamp BDDI), SFX B3 (to tame the highs and mids), Octaver (OC-2 or MXR BOD).

[quote name='throwoff' timestamp='1351689882' post='1854181'] Tigerstripe ebony is just ebony. I have said it a million times but Tigerstripe ebony fingerboards are Warwicks biggest bargain. Even the Rockbass models come with it on the Fretless models. All Tigerstripe means is that the wood does not come solely from the core of the tree, where it is completely black, they use more of the wood from a little further out which means some parts have dark brown figuring to the black. Tonally it sounds identical, it feels EXACTLY the same as jet black ebony and is a little better for the enviroment. [/quote] It's the colour that bothers me. If I have a black-bodied bass and a neck unblemished by frets, dots, or fret lines, then I want a uniform colour black neck to complement the body.

You need an octaver for folk ?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1351441655' post='1851240'] I forgot about the SFX micro comp thingy... I wonder if it will be multiband! Or wiould that be expecting way too much??? [/quote] Probably expecting way too much You can see what max was aiming for at the time of doing the prototype here: From the talk on TB, Max has too much work on to make this into a 'production' pedal, so it seems likely that it will only see the light of day if someone requests a copy of the prototype as a 'custom' pedal. Or perhaps more likely if a small group of people (hint, hint) made the same request. I'm just about at the point of mailing Max on this very subject.

[quote name='RichF' timestamp='1351422979' post='1850967'] new nano board - sweet! [/quote] I like it Pretty close to my ideal. Main reason I never took the plunge with the MXR comp is that it didn't look like the attack went slow enough.

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1351018401' post='1846323'] There is no power supply, as I will only ever use the board in conjunction with my first board seen here, which is powered by a Johnnyshredfreak/Diago Power Supply: [/quote] How is that power supply attached to the nano ? Is it that super velcro-that-isn't-actually-velcro you're using ?

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1350680489' post='1842362'] My VT5 (that's a PJ to you and me) will be landing in London in two weeks Andy. More than happy to meet somewhere if you fancy giving it a workout. [/quote] Brilliant, thanks. I'll be in touch

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1350662250' post='1842014'] Here's my new toy: [/quote] That's probably my ideal bass right there. Ticks pretty nearly all the boxes ... P/MM config, active, 5 string, Alder body. I don't suppose there's anyone here in or near London with one of these (4 or 5 string, Alder or Ash body) who'd be able to meet up somewhere for me to try out ? I feel virtually ready to order one but have never played one, so I'm a bit hesitant. Please PM me if you think you could help. Andy

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1350379722' post='1837945'] True...I think its the fact there aren't many good P basses with 5 srings and decent extras...Sandberg have hit quite a niche. If I get one the first one will be a VM5. [/quote] That's definitely what I'm looking for. Alternatives I'm considering right now include Clover, a Hotwire Prezzman, or a modified Lakland 55-02.

Here's what I'd pick: Stealth fretless
