I don’t think it helps that you seem to post every thought that comes into your head as a thread on the forum. I mean there’s no rule against it but perhaps a more considered (and maybe more bass related) approach might be a sensible way forward. I also think you’d like Google, it’s amazing!

Ok will do now. Thanks for stopping by

Yeah, the factory I used couldn’t do that though. I also asked about having the writing in black or sort of making it sandwiched.

I tested several types of tape to find one that wouldn’t leave a sticky residue on the straplocks. I thought I’d cracked it, but this stuff seems to be a bit too sticky after all (maybe it’s the weather?) - either way it should be easy to remove compared to some of the tapes I tried. Maybe pop it in the fridge for a bit before you peel them off!! Thanks for the order and enjoy!!

She’s beautiful 🤩

Looks amazing. You must be over the moon with that!

That was an FX25 - great pedal! I tend to prefer a band pass filter for their squelchy response when driven hard.

I wondered where that one ended up! Glad it found a good home. You’ve inspired me to dig out my SB1 today 👍🏼

But then it’s normally best not to know - ‘never meet your heroes’ they say! I was actually quite nervous meeting Patrice Vigier. Even so, it’s impossible to know what these directors are like to work with completely. Ignorance is bliss... and personally I think Ken Smith is funny

It’s nice to think a company you are personally invested in is aligned with your own values but I think any big manufacturer at this level has to be fairly ‘aggressive’ to keep a foothold. Personally I see the advantage of ‘liking’ the company or being oblivious to it. However I’ve owned basses by Ken Smith who everyone seems to hate and I’ve said before I don’t care if he’s an axe murderer if I like his basses. Mind you I met Mr. Maruszczyk and let’s say that’s out me off ever getting one!

Yes, just PM a moderator

I’ve met HPW too and thought he was a thoroughly nice bloke and an astute businessman

Great, I was wondering about this the other day. Looking forward to seeing it!

I shipped out the 16-24th Feb batch on Friday so they should be arriving next week! If you haven't bought your set yet, get to it!! The more I send at once the cheaper the shipping is, and the more quickly I can send a batch! Cheers ped P.S Don't forget to show your strap locks in place when you get them!

Does look very cool. A bit too much functionality for me though. I just want to switch some pedals out of my path when I’m not synthing with my Wingbass

It’s good that it doesn’t need powering as I am a noise freak and want option A to be a 100% clean and silent path

Thanks @Stofferson just what I was after!

Oh absolutely - I understand that, but it’s amazing how often people say things like ‘I sound the same whatever I play’ which often then leads to the other fave ‘the audience won’t notice what bass you play’ - but then in the next minute they’re debating the advantages of ceramic magnets!

Good to see the old ‘tone is in the fingers’ comment doing the rounds again. It’s true that varying your attack and hand position can alter the timbre of a given sound, but you simply cannot make a P bass sound like a 70s Jazz with your fingers unless you use said fingers to install pickups 😂

Hello folks Thanks for the orders so far. As it says on the shipping page I'm aiming to send out batches every two weeks at least. The first batch (anyone who ordered between the 16-24th Feb) will be posted shortly. You should get an email to say the order has been dispatched, but don't worry if you don't get this as I'm not sure if it'll work. Cheers Chris

Just to recommend trying a good headphone setup and physical feedback device like a Backbeat, Bassboard or rumble seat. Well worth it IMO - no worrying about annoying anyone, complete isolation from any vibrations or unwanted room noise, Hifi quality monitoring and immersive when playing along with other stuff. It makes playing through an amp at home seem crazy when you get it right.
