[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1502284820' post='3350461'] The Ashdown Lomenzo is one of my all time favourite pedals. I've been planning to reverse engineer mine and build a clone in a smaller enclosure for quite a while. It's still on the "to do" list though... [/quote] I'd point you toward trying the Sheehan Signature Deluxe from EBS. They have a certain amount in common on certain settings. For me though the EBS topped my charts

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! I too LOVE it and am looking forward to gigging it (well, it was gigging lots before the paint job, so I should say.. continue gigging it!)

[quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1503490893' post='3358646'] I had no doubt Sheldon would like it: he is very ok and happy for his Ding owners to experiment. Go to TalkBass and see the array of pickup up mods that users on there get up to - he's shared technical specs and info to help them work out what exactly they are replacing and what change X or Y would mean. [/quote] Indeed, Sheldon and I chat a lot. I've tested prototype kit myself and am hatching a plan as we speak.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1503093910' post='3355745'] The penny has just dropped. Is this the one you had up for sale? [/quote] It is! I managed to hold on to it by the skin of my..well, bank account.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1503171854' post='3356259'] And? [/quote] Just had ten minutes with the plug in - I've dropped it in to AU Labs (I'm on a Mac) to use it as a standalone app and it seems to work very well. Literally had no time to make any presets of my own yet, but now I have it in front of me, then I can't imagine that will take too long!

I've so much to learn about ha ha. I blew pennies on the plug in too yesterday. I'm hoping that I'll get a bit of time to get the whole lot set up properly!

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1503171854' post='3356259'] And? [/quote] I'll let ya know!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1503091933' post='3355727'] I want!! [/quote] I Have!

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1503093842' post='3355744'] That looks fantastic. Have you sent any pictures to Sheldon to get his take on it? [/quote] I have! Sheldon and I are friends and I respect him greatly. I did hesitate for a moment in case he might not like it, but that's just me I suppose. As it happens he loves it!

I want!!

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1503062257' post='3355433'] It may have been on my thread. I have had one a few weeks now. First impressions were ok, monophonic was a little disappointing, poly a bit better. Then I starting messing with the TonePrint and suddenly it's a different animal and I love it. I just wish the three positions could be three TonePrint maps. [/quote] I agree with the tweaking in the TP editor. I think it's easily missed and the bit that makes the SNU an incredible piece of kit. I love that you can sculpt not only the character but EQ curve of each of the three voices. For example I like to take a bit of top off the octave up and remove the sub bass on the -1 Octave to make it sound smoother and tighter. It's like having an OC2 which tracks better, behaves itself and goes much lower! Open E string for sure every time.

I'm on my iPad at the moment, so I'll get my other bass pictures up tomorrow

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1503002776' post='3355036'] That is porn. Does it feel as glossy as it looks? [/quote] It's shiny, incredibly smooth and not at all 'sticky'.

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1502991945' post='3354944'] I am glad you didn't sell this bass, Dan... It looks gorgeous, sexy, wild and wonderful. May I ask what a job like this costs? I've been thinking about doing the same thing with one of my basses. And - publish a pic with your whole "Chameleon Family"... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXWw[/media] [/quote] Thank you, I'm glad too! The paint itself isn't the most expensive bit in the grand scheme of things, though it isn't cheap. I think the cost is in the preparation and labour and skill to get it looking amazing. Mark at MIR is a highly skilled luthier and local to me. Oh yes! I'll get some pictures up soon!

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1502922314' post='3354470'] How much to get a paint job like this please? [/quote] [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1502984316' post='3354875'] Massive refin GAS now... do I do the Jazz or the Ray?! I'm not looking forward to the quote, but you get what you pay for and that looks beautifully worth every penny [/quote] https://m.facebook.com/Musical-Instrument-Rehab-167262633338121/ Drop Mark a message, tell him I sent you!!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1502954028' post='3354564'] Next up, getting the back of the neck to match [/quote] [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1502976387' post='3354808'] Nooooooooo! The yelllow.... 🙁 Still, looking tasty! Need to get the back of the neck done too though bud! [/quote] Like my Shuker you mean? http://www.danveall.co.uk/shuker7/complete/16.jpg

My secret weapon. Triple band & parallel compression. It doesn't limit my attack, but brings up the volume of my quieter passages. This 'levels' my output but also means I can switch between a number of techniques in the sate knowledge FOH will be happy. P.s, I don't *need* compression to fix technique, it's a tool. Like a plectrum is.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1502918038' post='3354428'] It's funny that so many people have asked me over the years if I use 'TVR paint'. I guess that's where most people are familiar with seeing these 'flip-paints'. Maybe TVR would like to bring one or two round for a test drive so we can compare! [/quote] Actually, earlier I was reminded that Sheldon Dingwall is a big fan of performance cars, so I don't mind the extra nod in that direction with the new paint job to go with my performance bass!

Well, I've splatted these all over Facebook already here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/pg/DanVeallBassist/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1396330077130536"]@DanVeallBassist Facebook Album[/url] but I figured that many of us here have managed to escape Facebook, (gawd knows I've tried) so here's what I've been up to recently! As I mention in the FB posts and many of you know anyway - I am a massive chameleon 'flip-paint' whore-bag My Shukers are both Purple/Green flips, the 7 string enjoying ten years of looking damn sexy now! Musical Instrument Rehab in Norwich did this paint job for me having already resprayed my Fender Power Jazz Bass Special recently. That's one bass I am constantly asked about in Guitar Interactive Magazine! So, I approached Mark Ball again and asked if he'd be up for something a bit special. I wanted to 'flip' my Ferrari Yellow AB1 3X (XXX) bass. We went with an 'Extreme Edition' which flips Purple, Pink, Green and Blue, though these indoor pictures show a more subtle effect. This Dingwall is already a bit different and is not stock, but more to come on that another time. It does sound FAT! with a capital PH! (lol) Here's the porn: and to think, I was forced to put this bass up for sale....

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1502870265' post='3353984'] I'm going to say a no. Just doesn't look right at all. [/quote] Agreed.
