Looks great!

I owned one of these once before and I loved if but for the hard click switch. Does this have the same or soft click?

Did this sell?

Assuming this is still available, is there any chance of some additional pictures? Perhaps with natural sunlight. I'm very interested in this but I'd like a better understanding of the ash grain on the body. Thanks in advance. 

Hey all. So I recently relocated to Canterbury and desperate to get involved with the local music scene. I've got over 20 years experience playing in bands, recording and touring. Willing to consider must music types so please let me know if anyone needs a bass player.

Oh my...

This is my (current) dream bass.

Interesting thread, this.

I too am considering a 2 band drop-in active preamp (i.e. East) in my Fender Jazz, however, I am curious to know if an outboard/floor-based preamp pedal, like the Sad­owsky SPB-2 Bass Preamp, would do the same thing? Or is that a totally kettle of fish?

I'm very interested in this but my question is how easy would it be to string this up tuned E-C?

I keep coming back to this in the hope its gone. Its a beaut and I have been hankering for a fretless for a while. 

This is gorgeous and if I was in a stronger financial position I would seriously consider this.

I must say though that I find it kind of strange that Serek don't provide a hard case at this price point and I imagine that given their scale/length it might be difficult obtaining an after market one.

I currently own the excellent Strymon DIG but recent pedal purchases mean that I no longer have space for it on my gigging board. As much as I would love to keep it that means I need to sell it to fund a replacement (keep an eye on the sales page soon). So right now I need your suggestions on a suitable dual digital delay pedal in a standard Boss size unit. Regarding functionality, ideally any recommendations can match the DIG. Personal experience with said pedal is preferable.

Your input is fearfully received.

I got this yesterday. I’m in love.

Oh my...

I have been on the look out for one of these for months. It you ever change your mind on it, consider it sold  

So I have decided to go for a silent home playing option. I recently picked up a rather excellent EBS Microbass II and the plan is to run that direct to some headphones.

Now the question is - which headphones. I have earmarked the Audio Technica ath-m50x as a likely option but since I often play with lower octave pedals engaged I just want to be sure that the headphones will be suitable. I am not expecting the full sub/low frequency effect but I want to make sure I get a pair that will capture most of it whilst being hard wearing.

 Does anyone have any experience in this area? 

Would anyone recommend these particular headphones or others for this application?

Any other advice?

Over the years I have tried a bewildering range of overdrive/distortion pedals and never got on with any of them.

The best option by far for me was to run both channels of the (very uncelebrated but awesome) Electro Harmonix LPB-2ube in a Boss LS-2 loop so as to keep a totally unaffected signal layered with the drive of the EHX. That way I had total control of the volumes for each channel. It was awesome and I would have totally kept to it if not for the flipping daft power supply required for the EHX. I often check to see if they have updated the pedal with a more secure powering option. Sadly not yet.

On balance (sound, size and $$$), I would have to go for the Markbass.

Filter board, I turned all the lights on 

Is that a mini volume or wah pedal?

With reference to the OP, and to anyone else you might be interested in a achieving a similar setup, the TC Electronic Brainwaves is a very decent, cheap and compact alternative to adding multiple variable voicings to the original note (e.g. 5th above and octave below). The onboard pedal options are really quite expansive (inlcuding Whammy approximations) and the added Toneprint compatibility really makes it staggeringly versatile. 

Vein-Tap offer a wide range of true bypass loopers...

I recently picked one of these up and agree that it is an incredible piece of kit and the Expanse software makes it a truly versatile unit. I am very interested in doubling up and taking this one too.

I recently sold my Strymon Timeline as I was using only about 5% of its capability. However, must of that use was with the excellent Swell settings so now I need to find a new way of recreating that. Obviously, a volume pedal would be an ideal solution but not possible due to lack of pedalboard space.

So, my question... has anyone used any of the auto swell pedals currently on the market and if so, what are your thoughts? Various models include the TC Electronic Crescendo and Mooer Slow Engine but also very interested in any others I may have missed. Note that the Boss Slow Gear is out of the question on account of the $$$.

Ideally I am looking for a pedal that can do extremely long/slow volume swells well rather than the shorter swells.

Alternatively, and this has just come to me but does anyone know of any other (simple) delay pedals that offer an auto swell setting as that might be an option too.

As always, thanks in advance.

That’s a good price for a new one of these, I just wish they didn’t have blocks...

Totally agree.

Pretty sure that Mark at Classic & Cool Guitars (home of Limelight basses) will also relic client's basses.

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

I am extremely interested in this. However I would want to see the finish minus the stickers before committing to a purchase. 

Want!!

I regret selling my sunburst one a few years ago.

Now gone.
