[quote name='Rubbersoul' timestamp='1501001743' post='3341708'] Update: The ferrite clip made zero difference. The new 9 volt power supply power supply has however solved the problem. [/quote] what did you get? As ive replaced my Diago micropower with a true tone 1 spot and the problems still there im wondering if its just dodgy electrics at home and in my rehearsal space.

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1500909389' post='3340999'] They're both great, i could happily have either, and i actually intended on having neither on this board which is why i sold the Cali CB but every time i think i want to not have a comp i miss having one and get another, this is not the first time this has happened! This is actually my second SS i had a big Cali and i got rid of it to get a SS mainly to save space, but i didn't really get on with the SS that time so sold it for the Cali CB, turns out i wasn't so much not getting on with the SS but more missing the Big Cali as i didn't really find much difference between the CB and the SS. After selling my CB last month i thought i'd try the SS again, really liking it this time. I'm running it fairly lightly with a lot of blend and it for me does that job a little better than the CB did maybe, think its a keeper this time. [/quote] Thanks Jon I'm enjoying the Cali76 cb you sold me,however not had a chance to gig it yet. It's compression is more subtle than I thought,but that's a good thing. I've only got a little clean blended in! I dont seem ti notice much difference with the HTC but as I say I've not tried it at gig volume,only through headphones or my rig very quiet. suppose I need to spend a bit more time messing with it.I'm having some pedal board noise issues which is driving mad at the moment. The SS is on my list to try in my search for the ultimate compression Origin need to make a big box transformer version with the CB feature set and it'll take over the world -lol

I remember seeing these in the back of music magazines!! With a really cheesey shot of a rock dude I really wanted one (I wanted the guitar as well) but ended up with a Marlin sidewinder guitar and a Vantage bass!! I think I did ok -lol

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1500900972' post='3340927'] Still a work in progress but this is me just now... [attachment=249742:IMG_3611.JPG] And the mess... [attachment=249741:IMG_3616.JPG] [/quote] I notice you have a Super Symmetry now! How does it compare to the Cali76?

Well I've received the one spot and the problems still there! Really bad earth hum. Strangely through my bass trainer and headphones it's noisy through the pedal board (with a P bass) but quiet plugged direct. when I put the pedal board through my amp it's noisy but not as bad, however when I plug directly into my amp, I get massive earth hum. I tried all of my basses the P bass was worst but the jazz hummed too,but my musicman was quiet. Once again not as bad through the pedal board. I plugged into a different wall socket with same noise. I'm wondering if my power is dodgy. I have the same issue in a dodgy lockup I rehearse in and I know the power is dodgy in there. I still don't think it's my cables as the problem exists using the one spot on single pedals. Any other thoughts gents?

I've got the 60's Aguilar pickups in my Nate Mendel!! It's a very smooth and refined sound with a present but not overpowering treble. Its vintage voiced but not boomy at all,the mids are very punchy and sounds amazing with the TI flats I have on it

I've too much outlay this month! So the Cioks will have to wait!! I've ordered a 1 spot and hopefully will solve the issue,till I can get something better!!

If you fancy pushing the boat out! There's a glockenklang blue sky on here! Or the blue soul if you can find one. They both have two inputs and the ability to match the levels and switch oh and I think the Epifani 502 does too. Apologies I've just read the expensive bit-lol an EBS microbass 2 is good too

Has anyone tried the Heistercamp padded straps? I've been lusting after one for a while as they look gorgeous!! Not sure how padded they are. They are pricey but will be worth it I'm sure

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1500471612' post='3338061'] Should do yes: Before you splash the cash though, do you have any other 9v adapter in the house at all you can check to make sure it's definitely your power supply at fault? [/quote] no not since I sold my soul food!! The Diago was only meant to be temporary!! Five years ago when I use it without the daisy chain on its own,it's massively noisy!! Really bad earth hum!! I though my P bass was knackered at first

Ah good call!! I was looking at thehat last night on bass directs site,it's got more power than the diago too. Does it have a three pin plug though???

Currently bulking at the price of the DC 5 the Adam looks a cheaper option and I only need 9v (although I've a doubler on the Cali76) and still good. I'd have bought a fame DC8 but it's too big

3 leaf proton or wonderlove if you've the cash
