One of my favourite things about my Roland VB99 is the selection of compressors built in. They’re (mostly) transparent, effective and most of all silent. They really are everything I could need and offer lots of adjustment not normally found in a pedal or rack format and also it’s great to save a setting for each bass. Trouble is that the Roland isn’t that portable especially considering it’s plunked into my home setup so centrally with all the cables etc hidden, so I’ve usually had a compressor pedal to take when going to a practice or jam. I’ve been using a Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter for a while and recently got another with the built in plug as usually it’s the only pedal I use. I really like them but have found that in the studio it does introduce a little noise and slight high roll off. Before that I used the Boss LMB3 which I thought was fantastic for the price. None of us are going out to play at the moment so I thought I’d get some new compressors to try at home in my unnecessarily strict test environment so I’m ready for the things I have booked in from the Spring. My main requirements: - Super quiet - High ratio/limiting - Battery option is a bonus - As transparent is possible at low ratio/high threshold with no tone loss Enter the FEA Opti-fet- I’ll give it a go on Monday, doubt I’ll get a chance before then. Sounds like a worthy competitor...

Well sometimes those ‘do not track’ plugins and ad blockers prevent you from staying logged in. Perhaps try clearing your cookies (Google how to on your browser) and try logging in again 👍🏼

Yes afraid so. Do you have any plugins that stop cookies and such?

Generous offer 👍🏼

I don’t see why not 😊

Ah ok! I knew they’d suspended DPD for a bit, didn't realise it was everyone. I’ll get some clarification about that next week!

Yeah something has gone wrong there - I seem to remember it happening to someone before and they sorted it. Try getting in touch if you can.

Eurosender are the only courier I’m aware of who inside bass guitars. Something must have gone wrong if they quoted €630!!

It’s not mandatory at the moment and I’m not 100% sure if it’s possible to make it so but I’ll find out. Something simple light that can take ages and be really tricky to add in!

@Dad3353 you know it’s faster to fret notes then to tune up and down for each

Looking great. Really like the ramp idea too.

You really should treat him better!

Good to see some coordinated action. Thanks for the info

OK chaps, last chance - please keep this tread updated with details pertaining to your own individual case, crime numbers etc, but please keep any banter, ideas for retribution etc off the page otherwise I'll lock this down. Since my last message it's slipped that way again, which I understand, but we don't want to give Mick ANYTHING he can use against us, not that I have any confidence in him pursuing us, but still. Thanks ped

Hi @TedM all the details you need are in this thread. Sorry to hear you’ve been a victim too. I hope the Police do something but you’ve done all you can for now.

Leicester area code - phone down

That and ask if they’ll chat over the phone. That always sorts the men from the boys.

Yes, they probably nicked it!

I think everyone should go back and write a line about each instrument 🎸 @AndyTravis you can have an extension of one month

Many couriers exclude musical instruments from insurance cover in the small print (but still let you buy it) The main reason I have promoted Eurosender here is that, despite a few issues here and there (as you’ll find with ANY courier or booking service) is that they specifically cover instruments with a third party insurer, as long as the instrument is in a hard case. https://www.eurosender.com/en/terms-conditions ERGO insurance is the company providing the cover. Still, you only find out how good that is when something bad happens - but insurance always feels like that. I’d never ship an instrument without proper cover.
