    Thanks for your input @Phil Mann I ordered mine a couple of days ago so looking forward to getting my hands on one in the next few weeks. BTW your Jaco video was the deciding factor for me. 

    You're more than welcome - only pleased to be able to share some information. 

     

    My best,

    Here's a few YouTube links to help your research!

    For audio reference, here's a short video of me stumbling through a Jaco solo - there's nothing in the signal path other than the 'Finally' V2 (although, in fairness, I did re-amped the signal through my LB-2.N).

     

    If you'd like to know anything else - please feel free to pop by my social media pages (Facebook, or Instagram) and drop me a direct line!

     

    My very best, thanks for reading!

    Anybody on the European side of the pond have any experience with this preamp? It’s endorsed by Phil Mann so I’m guessing it’s pretty good. Could be next on my list of ‘secret sauce’ pedals to try with my fretless 🤔

    Hi Jonse!

     

    This is lovely to see - thank you so much for the mention on Basschat, it makes a huge difference to the reach of small businesses - I'm afraid I'm not on this platform a great deal, so would love this opportunity to tell you about the unit.

     

    Firstly, I must agree a little with Walshy, I also had the original unit and wasn't completely knocked out by it, so I contact Nathan Slade and we gave it a little polish! The 'With Bass In Mind' edition features a number of refinements to the original unit, the main one being the valve which comes as stock...

    I've never been a lover of 12AUX preamp valves, their a little too harsh and over saturated for my liking, thus the WBIM Edition is fitted is a 12AU7, which is far smoother and provides less saturation - a subtle difference, but changes the overall characteristics of the pedal substantially - think more Fender Bassman, than Ampeg. 

     

    The idea of the unit is relatively straight forward, a small footprint DI box which runs on a 9v power supply, intended to sit at the end of your pedal board.

    It's able to enrich your signal with warm valve tones (similar to that of a RedDI, Noble, or Khan DI), act as a signal splitter (XLR and 1/4') whilst also supplying natural compression. I spent 90% of my stage time on IEM these days, so it's a perfect addition when only utilising the signal from my pedal board into FOH. However, when there's an amp present, it gently warms up any light weight Class D digital power amps - think less of it as a distortion box (which I've already seen written), and more as a valve DI. It's also been awesome to work with in the studio.

     

    A number of my With Bass In Mind students have now taken delivery - Nathan ships from Chicago and there's usually about a two week lead time - they're selling like hot cakes. As soon as I'm off this current run of performances with The Drifters, I'll be able to find some time to produce a little more internet content - there's a few bits on my YouTube channel, but not a great deal (will share below).

    Hi @Phil Mann

     

    I just wanted to say that for Christmas I decided to treat myself to a year's SBL subscription as my ear has always been good but my theoretical knowledge to back it up has been rubbish.

     

    I can read sheet music for the band I play in but I have tried to learn the theory behind triads, circle of 5ths, modes etc on several occasions over the years and it normally just fries my brain...

     

    I decided to go straight for your Functional Theory For Bassists Vol 1 course and although I will need keep reviewing to lock it all in I already feel that your way of teaching has helped me see it a lot easier,  I now feel I will get there and am a lot less overwhelmed by it all.

     

    I'm also impressed watching a leftie play the correct way around :ph34r: 😁

     

    Thank you - I will keep plugging at this and check out some of your other lessons as I go along.  

     

    After looking at this thread, it looks like I also need to check out the interviews your YT channel!

     

    There's a couple of books on my website that may also be of interest to you! ;)

     

    Good luck with the programmes! 

     

    My best,
    Philip

    “...Return To The Forbidden Planet...” - oh that brings back memories! I love that show! An old school chum, Rosie, was stage manager for a load of the national tours back in the 90s/00s. Saw that show so many times. Always a blast! 

     

    ...any show that's got a few Carol Kaye bass parts in it is fine by me!

    Was great fun to play... :) (alas, a distant memory now, but I've still got a copy of the pad!)

    Hey everyone,

     

    I've had a number of people emailing me and approaching me through With Bass In Mind's social media pages with offers for my SVTDi...

     

    I'd like a sale, but the offers are way too low I'm afraid...

    As a result, I thought I would try and find a happy medium for everyone, so have edited to the original advert to knock-off £25 and also included postage to UK destinations!

     

    The unit is now, £425 all in (inclusive of next working day, recorded special delivery to UK addresses).

    That's the best I'm able to do, I'm afraid. :)

     

    Thanks for looking!

     

    My best,

    PM

     

    (European postage will be supplementary)

    Phwoar, tasty bit of kit here!
    I don't need/want one but it does makes you think LOL

    Yeah, it's one of the better units on the market - and I think I've tried most. 

     

    Whats really refreshing is that on the newer Khan Audio versions, other than aesthetics, the only thing to have been changed is the ability to bi-pass the preamp valve (which is completely understandable as why have one...it defeat the entire reason for why the Di exists in the first place!)

    Yes love these. Built link a tank and sound great. Miss mine which I moved on because of my REDDI but they were close in sound. Don’t do it Phil!!!

     

    Oh, don't worry - between the other SVTDi I own, the two Khan audios, the Avalon U5 and a few Sushi Box pedals....I should be fine! :)

     

    I'm just trying to streamline my studio space a little...maybe what I need is a little purchasing council.
