[quote]“FLEABASS is born of my love of music education as a studier and a teacher of music, and a lover and a romanticizer of the tradition of it. I wanted students to have an instrument they could fall in love with, and I wanted them to be able to do it with the limited means that most of them have for acquiring one.”[/quote] I love this. I'm a passionate educator, and having an affordable, decent, celebrity-endorsed product makes me excited. I have no doubt the younger students I teach will be after them, but it will encourage young musicians to play the bass and not just walk into a guitar shop with their parent or guardian saying "I can't play the guitar... buy me a bass". I like it. xxx

Thanks man, but the email has started working again. dan

Ta Toasted. I could really do with a TB looper right now. I'm thinking of resorting to a soldering iron and i'm more likely to burn my eye out than make something usable. Dan

I suppose if the pots are directly soldered to the board, and the board is 2" x 3", that's a big hole in your bass to fit it all in. Dan

Just over 24 hours left guys!!

I wanted a white jazz body, so why not get a bridge and pickups and everything so I bought one. Does the job, sounds like a jazz, cost £200 second hand. Easy. Dan

I had a quote from a local luthier to put a new fingerboard on a neck. Basically it came to around £150. You could shift the bridge and get a neck/fretboard that was spaced for a 36" scale. Just a thought!! Dan

+1 on the trim pot on the underside. Dan

YouMa - I suppose they are providing competition but i know a lot of serious electronic artists that won't risk a laptop crashing on stage. I'm one of them too! Owen - Buy a gk3b and axon ax100 and you'll be blown away. i am!! Joe - i'd rather sell it on here. Make me an offer!!

Sorry Owen, no external audio in. What is it that you would be trying to do? Vocoding? Dan

I play midibass and used a behringer to mute and unmute the 8 different patches that can run concurrently. If you're genuinely interested Joe (and I think you should be!!), i'd be willing to trade/negotiate. I still own my MicroKorg, but versatility-wise, it's a pedal dynamo to this nuclear powerstation. I love the distortion and chorus in the effects section (controllable by dedicated knobs) that add a HUGE amount of harmonic content to whatever sound you're using. I'm starting to remember why I own this thing!! Dan

Anyone got a phone number for these guys? Their emails down and my bro owes me a chistmas present!! Dan

In essence, it is 8 wicked synths at once. Not much use for Mad Caddies, but maybe Tinchy Stryder. Dan

Hey guys, I've listed my Novation Supernova Rack on Ebay (280309213968). Awesome bit of kit. I'll let it go for £220 if someone wants it here. Dan

Hi G, Let me know how you get on. I recently put together my board with Diago Deluxe Daisy Chain power, red adaptor for moog. All should work but the moog causes a horrible and LOUD whining sound from my pedals. Here's the problem before I tried unplugging the moog:

What brand/type of laquer have you used? It looks great!!! Dan

I'm a daily player, and the last time i got blisters was New Year's Eve, pissed up during a 3 hour jam on my upright through an underpowered amp. The day after, i realised how important my playing technique was, and that through comprimising I had suffered. Make sure you're well monitored, practise the parts thoroughly (Not only getting your chops up but also making sure it'll be fewer takes) and warm up before playing. That'd be my advice. Dan

Hi everyone, Whilst in my local PMT I noticed a number of Blackstar Amps valve distortion pedals. I came home and had a read. UK based, valve distortion pedals. Sounded familiar, as I've been GASing for a DHA Dual Custom for about 2 years (no impulse buys here!!!). Anyone know the major differences, or why the Blackstar equivalent of the VT2 Dual Custom is a lot cheaper? Many thanks, Dan
