    KORG US has announced the purchase of a majority interest in the Helsinki-based bass gear maker Darkglass!

      Interesting times. Wonder how many fanbois will accuse DG of selling out?

      Will Korg keep Darkglass going, or close it down in favour of one of their own existing brands?

    One of my students has an awesome sounding Jazz bass. I don't actually own a Jazz bass. Now I need a Jazz bass.

      You've come so far, yet your journey has barely begun..... 🙂

      They are very nice basses, as said the neck is more of a handful than a usual Jazz, which is nice imo.

      I am SO looking forward to getting my teeth in to this! I have three reviews on the way almost immediately and a whole list of manufacturers who want in. I'm pretty touched actually! Thank you everyone :) My reviews are only gonna get better and better now!

    TC SpectraComp bricked:

     

    Failed to update firmware two times, third time lights out. I now have a very small door stop.

      I can't believe (well I can!) that they don't have a failsafe/revert to factory option.

      I have three TC Polytunes, all of them play up every now and again.  I leave them for a bit use a different one, then a couple of months later come back to the faulty one, and it works!

       

      I also have a Spectradrive that still works as an EQ/Pre-DI but the tone prints won't load.

       

      I won't buy anymore TC Electronic pedals

    and here:

    I used to work for GI and despite having recorded the best part of 400 videos with GI, sadly you'll only find about 150 on YouTube, you'll have to trawl the last ten years worth of back issues to see them all and even then many issues are missing!! GULP!!!

    I've covered some really awesome pieces of kit in great deal over the years, so if you are looking for real world information BassChat, this is a good place to start

    The EMG GZR P pickup is SOOOOO good!! 
    Just dropped on one my Tokai and it sounds superb!

      I put a PJ set into my Hamer.  Yup, they're great pickups, but they're even better if you dispense with the EMG pots that come as part of the installation kit.

    3. Dood

      What didn't you like about them? - CTS or Alpha instead then @NancyJohnson? 

    4. NancyJohnson

      I think it was the taper, the pots didn't do the pickups justice.  I eventually pulled the passive circuit and put a John East unit...then it really came alive.

      Nah.  Was interested when it was a bass show, but quietly changing it to the electric, acoustic and bass show without telling ticketholders was a bad move. lost all interest.

      Yeah it is disappointing. As an exhibitor I like a bass only show, as it means that I can be sure everybody walking past my booth is interested in what I am showing.

       

      However. Paid in full to do the show in 2020. So it's not like it's costing me anything. Look forward to seeing you guys there. We have new UK made basses (SWB Deluxe, SWB-1, CHB-1 and CHB-2) on show! Come check them out.

      Nope. I'd spend all day and many £££ just to get there, and I'm not in a position to buy anything anyway. I'd be like a diabetic kid in a sweet shop. :(
