Hi all! So, for a while I've used this guitar for teaching and it has been a spare at two gigs. A super little machine! The good: A cheap runner with a surprisingly full tone from the guitar featuring a hard-tailed fixed bridge. Absolutely perfect for down tuning and stays in tune so well. I've had the pickups upgraded - there's a superb Dimarzio Steve's Special in the bridge position and a Dimarzio Evolution in the neck position. These were not new pickups, but have not seen much use. The Bad: The tone control has been removed so there's a hole! The Ugly: I fitted locking tuners thinking fast string changes would be a good idea, but the tuners were not very good ones. The strings locked perfectly but failed to stay in tune. Yup, that's an epic fail. I've removed them and reinstalled the original tuners. There are 6 small holes where the fixing screws were. I'd like £100 for the guitar - it plays like a dream despite it's imperfections and of course, there's some great pickups on board too. Trades-wise, I'll let you know! PM me with any interest and we'll go from there!

I feel I'm a little late to the party!!! I'd missed the wonderful unveiling video! Andy, [i]thank you for the very kind words, it means a lot[/i]. Your video is excellent and as has been said already, how you managed to talk for so long without playing it - you're a stronger man than I!!! - The initial pause when you open the case! Ahhh!! I think I hung on your every word after staring at this gorgeous gorgeous bass! There's so much I like about it. Truly stunning, congratulations! The reverse headstock!! oh yes!! - Funnily, it was a guitarist that got me in to reverse headstocks too. Both of my electrics are upside-downers! Paul Gilbert for me though. On the subject, I recently found out that a friend of mine was the very person who suggested Ibanez start doing reverse headstock guitars many years ago. I've known him for a while now, but didn't know he was to blame for my quirky love for them! Anyway! I digress - I just wanted to post a message to say that this is a wonderful bass. Jon never ceases to surprise me even though I know that his basses are already untouchable value for money! Beee-oooo-tiiiii-fulllll!!! I'm off to listen to your soundcloud clips now!

The click you are hearing is a relay in the protection circuit that is connecting the amp to the speakers. That is completely normal and yes, it does it after a short time. The hiss you are hearing afterward is general noise created by the valve preamp. This *to an extent* is normal, but if it is really loud there's probably a simple cause. Are you using the overdrive section, boosting treble frequencies, boosting the compressor or using the master volume high and gain control too low? Each or any of these can cause undue hiss in any amplifier. If you are still getting a huge amount of hiss, then it could be a noisy preamplifier valve.

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1384874789' post='2281722'] yes you can matey, check out the vids of billy on youtube talking through the features of it...there's a clean loop and a dirty loop and you can put whatever you like in them [/quote] Saved me replying! - Yes, as Andy says, you can chain as many pedals as you like in each loop giving you effects on the clean side as well as the 'dirty' side. You can also use just the returns of the loops through the compressor and off to the output as a mixer as well as isolating just the distortion for example by running and instrument in to the pedal input and then out of the 'dirty' loop send. Similarly, you can inject your own signal bypassing the distortion altogether in to the dirty loop return as well as feeding your normal (or any other) signal in to the pedal input to make use of the clean channel and compressor. It's a really felixible pedal if you think outside of *just* Billy's tone!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1384945272' post='2282524'] I reserve a special hatred for Mike Mansfield. I'd lock him in a room and force him to watch all his stupid out of focus videos on a never ending loop. Back on topic. I only ever tried to sell one thing on Gumtree and I got swamped by Nigerian scammers. If £7 keeps those arseholes away from the For Sale section then it's all good by me. [/quote] A Facebook friend of mine advertised for a flat-mate on Gumtree. She was shocked and sickened to actually receive emailed 'photos of men...err... 'posing' shall we say. It's not a good place to advertise, that's for sure.

... and of course, if you are looking for a BEAST to go on top of those lovely 4.5XL cabinets, then look no further than the Hartke Kilo (2x500W /1000W) . I can confirm that This amplifier as well as the LH series heads (and the HA series for that matter) are superb amps with tons of girth on tap

I'll post actual pictures of this pedal should you want them - just a couple of nicks on the edges but the rest of the unit is A1. I am selling this pedal simply as a good mate of mine is working on a custom bass distortion pedal with me that will render this one unnecessary. Other than that, I love it I just need to cut down on kit! A great opportunity to get a superb pedal for way less than the lowest web prices. Bank Transfer is good as is a paypal gift payment. Still has original battery in with plenty of juice left!! Clean and Distorted signals mixed, two effects loops (one for each signal path) AND an EBS compressor in one box! Here's some bloke reviewing one: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ch5ZIJgp2Q[/media]

Yup, I really like the Pacifica too but I'd also recommend the Cort guitars too.
