  1. I had a hotone patch kommander at one point and didn't notice any degradation
  2. Following as also in the market for a new preamp - Do you have any specific feature requirements? (Aux in/Phones out, Cab sim or LPF/HPF etc?)
  3. Glad it's worked out well for you, Al! I'm still using mine every week without any issues. The cable tone function is great, I've not had a single drop out (bar the lighting incident, but I do wonder if that was something else now), and I quite often go for a run through the crowd at shows. The charger case is the real MVP though! Rigid enough to keep them safe, and ensures plenty of charge, just remember to press the button on the front to initiate charging, otherwise you'll have a dead wireless set in no time!
  4. Those pedals are funny with what they're being fed. As above, it's most likely to do with your spectracomp. First in chain is probably best for these, although I struggled to make mine play with a few basses (all low end vanishing)... might be worth looking at the zvex mastotron as a pricier more functional alternative.
  5. Buy it > Realise it's not appropriate for what you're currently doing > Let it sit in the F/S section at a loss for a few months before selling for far less than paid > Repeat
  6. Looks like it's confirmed... http://www.aguilaramp.com/effect-pedals-2/agpreamp/
  7. So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a V1 if this is the case! Can't see what else it could be, but I'm excited to find out!
  8. Excellent price! Worth it just for the gated fuzz effects available alone! 👌
  9. Honestly not sure on that one... I've seen a guy on YouTube offering patches that sound good in his demoes, but for me half the fun is experimenting with amp models etc. I know the guitar presets sound tremendous, so I can only assume there are at least a couple of decent bass ones
  10. There is an option called "ctrl", which is a very basic snapshot function in that you tell the unit which blocks to turn on and off with that 1 ctrl footswitch. They've said snapshots are coming with the next update though, which is a whole other level of functionality!
  11. Spectracomp up for grabs... images to follow after work tomorrow 👍 Let go of a cali76 a while back but thought I'd give the compression thing one more go before deciding its not for me. After a good go at persevering with it, turns out compressions just not for me 🤦‍♂️. Good used condition, works fine and reset to factory... no box etc and velcro on back (hence the low price). Happy to meet or deliver locally, also happy to ship at buyers cost.
  12. Thanks! They really make the bass pop in person, definitely worth the 9 month wait time!
  13. One and only price drop - £750 Ibanez med scale headless bass with upgraded gigbag and knobs, with mono strap and fretwrap included (original knobs and gigbag also included) Good condition bar small nick at headstock (common on these) and a bit of chipped finish at the strap peg. Most ergonomically comfortable bass I've ever played, super lightweight, mega comfortable neck and balances like a dream. With a mega punchy sound. Has 3 band active eq and active passive switch. Knobs are a custom made resin knobs which reacts to UV light (made by woodland cast in Canada), gig bag is a Shergold deluxe padded guitar bag (perfect fit) Mono strap is a black L mono Betty strap and fret wrap is the perfect size for a 5 string Selling as was bought for a project that didn't pan out, and I'm a 4 string guy at heart Can look at shipping at buyers cost but would prefer local collection or will delivery locally for free or try to arrange a meet
  14. It's the cab sim in particular that's got me thinking there could be a digital element. Great looking pedal though!
  15. Very very interesting! Keen to see if this is analogue, digital or a mix if both 🤔
  16. The larger flagship Ampero II Stomp is a phenomenal bit of kit, and if Hotone's standing wasn't in the lower budget chinese arena I think it would be a HX stomp killer (or at least challenger). If this is even close to that quality then it'll be a tremendous bit of kit!
  17. If you have an EQ pedal, try a small boost around 60hz and slightly larger boost around 150hz.. I do this with my jazz bass and it makes a huge difference. Personal preference of course so YMMV. That being said, I had an active jazz recently that I couldn't EQ the thin/brightness out of. Sometimes it's just in the wood as mentioned above.
  18. Admittedly the Delanos and pre-amp left me wanting on the Sandy, and thus they were pulled and replaced by a local builders custom picks ups and passive circuit. Build and playability are amazing on it though, but again not worth the £1300 compared the the sire by any means...
  19. I hope I haven't "over egged" the fat pick ups mind, I'd hate to cause disappointment! I just feel that to me, it's got a bit more body to the tone than the other couple of Jazz basses I've had in the past, it doesn't quite have the same fullness as a P (although, I don't think that's the point of a jazz). Either way, I'm sure there'll be a lot to like... enjoy your NBD when it comes!
  20. It's not as light as the Sandy (which is very light) but it's certainly lighter than the Fender MIM deluxe jazz I had before it! I wouldn't consider it heavy by any means, but it is the 4 string so YMMV. Not majorly exposed to jazz basses, but don't feel the need to change the pick ups. To me it's fatter than the jazz Deluxe in passive mode, but with a gorgeous high mid punch with both Pups on full. Your SR special is a dream bass for me! 🤤 but this will definitely feel a safer bet for gigging for you and it'll still do punk rock perfectly!
