  1. @HellzeroAmazeballs! Thank you 🙏
  2. I could do with purchasing one of these preamps quite soon but the black knobs seem to have been out of stock for a while, and no idea how long it'll be before they're available again (I did sign up for "let me know when they're available"). I see they are 6 + 8mm bore shafts for the stacked pots. Had anybody found some good alternatives that fit properly and look decent (in black)? Current preamp is a Bartolini with the black plastic knobs, which I actually quite like. The Bart knobs are the wrong size/type though. Thanks in advance for any imparted wisdom!
  3. Thanks Luke, your experience sounds similar to mine with the Barts+ Bart pre - mid control just seems to add huge gain ,(not so much when I switch it to 800Hz TBF) I do get some decent tones out of it but am tempted to try the East, especially as she of the pots are on the way out (it's 20yrs old). It'll mean drilling out the holes to 10mm though (and it's a nice bass, Zon Sonus), so just building up the courage!
  4. Out of interest, how do you find the East with the Barts? Presumably Bart pre originally? Apologies for the derail. Your bass looks awesome, OP.
  5. You're* *Sorry
  6. Similar experience here 😀
  7. Working in music retail gave me a different perspective. We sold basses from the 3 brands you mentioned, and would pretty regularly re order popular colour combos, for example. It's not like we sold loads of US Stingrays, but I know for sure there would have been several examples of the same spec/colour in the same town, so when you expand that globally it's not insignificant! I do think more people hold onto quality instruments than perhaps we assume; being members of this GAS - inducing den of disrepute (Bass chat) I think warps the perspective a little 😂
  8. What a great buy for someone. Would love one of these but sadly too many basses already
  9. If I can make more from playing than spending in gear this year, that'd be a massive win.
  10. I'm in for tier 1, can't imagine how long I'm likely to last, but let's see 😜
  11. Genuine Q. What did I miss here? Are these very good value? Why would these appeal beyond one of the Sterling/ Sub/Ray34 or whatever they're called these days?
  12. Too complicated for me
  13. That's a fantastic colour, enjoy the bass
  14. Tbf I think it's the online team that's putting up a fight?
  15. Brilliant, thank you! Rehearsing in Jan now, so hopefully a rare opportunity to experiment!!
  16. Good luck, hope you reach an acceptable resolution.
  17. It is, but they don't have to cover returns costs if it's unwanted. In this case they're saying there's no defect..... if defective they would be obliged to cover return postage. Tricky one
  18. Does it play and sound good? How much does it owe you? I kind of like it, but your priorities and preferences may not match mine... So if it bothers you then you should probably think about sending it back....
  19. Amazing price for a US-made Zon.
  20. Thanks, good idea. I know the sound direct from the DI is pleasing enough having tested it a few times at home, but I haven't tried seeing how it varies when I mess about with the seal.
  21. Thanks for this, bit to think about there. The issue I've had is more a very boomy sound, and the last gig that combined with overly bright treble. Do you know if there's individual mix control with that app? None of the others seem to use it, but a quick Google suggests that might be a thing.
  22. Not sure at the moment, hoping that might be possible ☺️
  23. I've just asked, and it's a Behringer XR18 with Mixing Desk app? Mixing Station, I should say..
