I feel pretty bad that no one has replied at all but I've genuinely never heard of anywhere that does that. There's a service like this in America dubbed "the Netflix of pedals" but nowhere over here. Short of finding some generous folk on here the best idea would be something like a Line 6 M5 which is the equivalent of finding a massive box of pedals under your bed. Hope the recording goes well.

I got one recently and used it for practice for the first time last night. In the week leading upto practice I used it at home with a Ashdown perfect 10 (straight into input) and it made it quieter, more versatile and intimately better. I used it in practice into the effects return of an Ashdown AMB300 and is sounded pants. No definition at all and just sounded muddy and a bit too distorted. I put it in the front end (input) and although this was better, I didn't really need it with a decent-ish amp.

You could probably do it for a tenner (plus P&P) from www.doctortweek.com [/quote] I'm using it always on. It's not so much the stomping I'm worried about but just it's general condition over time being bagged up/ carried about/ unpacked, plugged in/used/ unplugged over time.

Recently bought a behringer BDI21 and would like to house it in something a bit more substantial. My local pedal builder has quoted me £60 which just poo's all over the £15 Bahrain pedal. Has anyone done this or anything similar? Is this cost average? Can you recommend anyone?

How's the synth stuff? Every demo I have seen just shows it on funk stuff

Says it all really. Post rock band consisting on 2 guitars, bass, violin, viola and cello need new drummer. PM if intreated pass on as much as possible if you might know people.

Wouldn't bother with Ric resource if you have a copy, they aren't kind to you/ them. In in the same position as you (copy, looking to change electronics). The biggest difference with out copies is they don't have the 3rd cap in there (which the push pull allows you to take out). I would expect you to lose output and low end by adding this, which you would do if you are going to Ric wiring. Let us know how you get on! Out interest what value pots did you go with?

I have a copy that I'm soon approaching an electronics upgrade on. Pickups are fine (either Ric or Classic Amplification) but do you guys convert the wiring to Ric spec or keep it as it is? Obviously Ric's have that extra 0.47 cap in there that (on newer models) can be taken in and out of play. Mine is just wired up with 2x 0.47 on the pots where they should be.Does that mean technically I'm going to be the same as when the cap is out of circuit (with more bass response as intended?). Is it worth fitting the extra one? Do you guys use 330k Ric spec caps? I'm thinking of going all 250k as I prefer a darker sounds and less harsh treble, would this work?

Just realised nobody has helped you...so I'll try. If the dr j was any good surely everyone would be going on about it? There is loads of threads about how good (and is some cases better) the behringer is in comparison to the sansamp. One or two demos make it (the dr j) sound horrible and fizzy when pushed. If your looking for tone shaping and DI then surely the pedal would be always on? Then why is the behringer a construction always an issue. Turn it on and leave it there. Failing that there is loads of alternatives in price between the behringer and the sansamp such as hartke and mxr. Hope this helps

Happy playing! A Ruby one is my dream. I just walk with my head down a lot incase I stumble upon a grand. Congrats

[quote name='Back to Bassics' timestamp='1394307141' post='2390202'] Beautiful. Only one problem. It seems your Ric's pickup selector switch is broken. It looks like it's stuck in a position that sounds terrible! I would take it back, get a refund and make sure the replacement has the switch in the middle position, or even better pointing down. Better still, just get one with one pickup. No switch, no problem! No. Really. You know it makes sense ... And I think the "so-called" neck pickup is a good 1/4in, maybe more, south of where it should be. [/quote] Nooooo I love neck pickups! Amazed how few people seem to use them on their own

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1394227100' post='2389438'] I know a chap who swapped his 4001 pup for a Seymour Duncan, and noticed no difference what so ever. http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass-pickups/rickenbacker/ [/quote] I don't know what to think of these. Bar far the cheapest option. Hated by purists and tolerated by people wanting to make their bass sound a little bit different. I'm personally not too bothered on it sounding 100% Ric as long as it sounds useable but the horror stories put me off.
