  1. I had an OLP Ray and a SBMM RAY 35. The OLP was only like a 'real' Ray in appearance, the similarities ended there. The SBMM's are far more like the 'real' thing and IMO great value for money.

  2. I'm a huge floyd fan (they're my favourite band) but I don't like it one bit.

    I'd have much preferred a reissue of the Pbass he used at the Live in Pompeii film (the sunburst one with the chrome pickup cover- it also happens to be the one used to record Dark Side)...in fact I may even cobble together my own.

    Historically its not an accurate reproduction of any of his basses, let alone the one from the Wall era (which I assume it purports to be since it has a Wall protective film applied to the pickguard).

    It baffles me why its got all black hardware then chrome/nickle machine heads and none of his basses - to my knowledge - had the 50s neck profile (but I could stand corrected in this).

    I guess he's using it on the current Wall tour so thats the tie-in but for my money i'd rather mod another precision.

  3. [quote name='simon1964' post='1095212' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:38 PM']I can see the sense in this, but if the limit exists for the ebay forum shouldn't it logically exist for the for sale forum as well? I'm not sure I follow the logic of having a limit for one but not the other.[/quote]

    I completely agree. There seems to be a plethora of 'Newbies' on the site recently who come on to tout their wares and the proceed to bugger off again. A min post idea for all selling forums is not such a bad idea in my books.

  4. Personally I dont have a problem but I know the guys on the DIY stomp box forums look rather unkindly on the cloning of production pedals. I can see the argument, ZVEX make great stuff and relatively speaking they are a small company (compared to say Boss) so these cloned probably do hurt their business. I suppose whether you agree or not there's clearly a market there (understandably people will find ways of making cheaper clones since pedals like the WM are so expensive).


    Now cloning old/out of date/rare pedals (rams head big muffs, etc)...that i'm all for!

  5. I've got a 201 on my fretless Jazz and I reckon that for the money they are great bridges. They are pretty high mass in comparison to the standard fender bridge so it will tonally affect the sound slightly but I can't say i've experienced any negative effects from them. If you are looking for one I'd say go for it. :)

  6. There was a guy in the effects forum asking for advice on Multi's. A couple of folks shouted for the B2-1u (for good reason) you may want to get it touch!

    Good luck with the sale.

    Chris
