Can anyone help me out with the Pitchblack Pro please? Looking to order one tomorrow for my rack with the intention of downsizing my pedalboard and I'm not 100% sure how to wire it up. At the moment my signal chain is as follows: Bass -> Rack Wireless -> Pedal Tuner -> Effects -> Amp Should I be able to do the following? Bass -> Rack Wireless -> connected to input 2 at the back of the Korg with a small patch cable then output to -> Effects -> Amp? Works in theory but Input 2 at the back is supposedly line level whereas Input 1 at the front is instrument level. I want all cabling to be done round the back if possible, would using a line level input cause me problems?

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1388164772' post='2319044'] Still early days but it seems to be a great bit of kit and very easy to use. I've got it plugged in to the Tuner Out socket on the back of my amp in to the input socket on the back of the Tuner. It seems to work fine [/quote] Ah, there's an input on the back - lovely stuff. My rack wireless is the first part of my chain out to my pedal tuner, so I'd to think I could go from the back of my wireless into the back of the Korg and then out the back of that to my board, keeping the front of the rack cable free?

Here they both are on top of my Bergantino CN212. It's a great setup, but the jury's out as to whether it's better (to my ears) than my old GB Shuttle 6.0 and a pair of Aguilar DB112's I had a few years ago. [/quote] I love the looks of the PitchBlack Pro. How's it working out for you? Definitely want to add one to my rack, even if I am a little unsure about how to connect it up to my signal chain!

Cheers, I'm off to the store today to try it out and potentially buy, so I'm going to make sure a .130 fits through the bridge comfortably. They've already tested the pickups for me and they seem to be the correct ones installed so equal volume on all strings. It is an early model with the strap button on the side of the body, so I'll need to change that myself which I don't mind doing. Main concerns at this stage are the pickups and the bridge, but I'm looking forward to testing it out.

Afternoon all I'm currently looking for an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro-V to add to my Thunderbird gang, but simply cannot find one anywhere in this country, new or secondhand. I'm in talks with a gentleman on eBay about one he is selling but it's listed at a nearly new price, although the hard case is included for £400. However, I can quite easily pick up a Thunderbird Pro-IV, either new or second hand, and for a lot less money. My main problem is, I need the bass for drop tunings, mainly Drop A and Drop B. Now, I know the bridges are different to the usual three-point bridges, and are top loading much like the Hipshot Supertones, but does anyone know what size of B string I could possibly get through it? I'd want a .130 at the minimum. Then of course there's the nut issue, I'm aware I'd probably have to get a new nut made. If I did go down the Pro-V route, I'm aware of the issues with some of the basses that were fitted with 4-string pickups resulting in a quiet B. Is there any way to tell by serial number or any other means as to what batches have the proper 5-string pickups in? Lastly...if anyone has a Pro-V they want to sell me or know of anywhere other than eBay where I could grab one...that'd be grand EDIT: After yet another thorough search on Google, I've managed to find a store that has a Pro-V in stock! Just waiting on photos to be emailed to me!

If you weren't already fulfilling bass duties, I would've been right on this! Have some drum/guitar/keyboard experience - especially with NIN back catalogue (and learning Hurt on piano at least) but not to a level where I'm that confident... Have a bump from me!

And the BIN price has been lowered to £130.

Afternoon all On my way to work today, I spied a bass in the local Cash Converters window out of the corner of my eye as I went past on the bus. I walked back and had a proper look, but struggled to identify it. It looks like something from the SR range, but I can't really match it up with anything on the Ibanez website. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be a potential bargain? Sorry for the dodgy photos, didn't have time to go in and ask to have a proper look at it.

Looks like Amazon have stock again for anyone interested

What a beauty!

Dispatch from Amazon is 2 to 4 months. Has anyone found it available a bit quicker than that? Anyone know if this is compatible with the iPhone 5/5C/5S? It looks like the old style connector, if that's the case I'll have to purchase to Lightning adaptor for it. Very intrigued by this, already playing with the app on my phone.

I had one and it is the second best Precision straight off the bat that I have played (the best being my newly acquired JV). They are lightweight, have a beautiful neck and a warm, dark, woody tone especially with flats on. [/quote] I second this, I love the one you sold me
