To me it's irrelevant whether Andras is a one man band or not. There are plenty of sole-traders out there (including me, as it happens, but that's an aside). If this was Andras' hobby and he was a not for profit org. then fair do's but if it's a business it's a business and he should not be exploiting the hard work of others to be making a commercial profit for himself.

@Quatschmacher you know my views on this: you definitely should be getting paid for the time and effort you're putting in, if only by them sending a couple of pedals to you as payment in kind. They're not a charity nor a social benefit org. like Wikipedia, and would never in a million years expect to be selling their products for free. There's a strong argument that they are certainly flouting UK min wage laws! I would never ask my bands to play covers gig for free; Panda Audio are totally taking the p*iss by making you work without any pay.

Blimey can't believe it's taken me until now to discover this thread!! Looking forward to catching up on all your posts over the coming weeks and months!

VK 210 MNT 8ohm has a great deal going for it in terms of quality. I certainly rated mine. At a similar size / weight / power handling and price point - I'd recommend also checking out the Fearless F112, a cab which really does knock it out the park.

Your wish seems to have been granted - in case you've not already seen, one just went up on the FS thread

Bought a bass strap from Paul. All good and very smooth transaction. Thanks! Bas

Let's keep it slow then... Enigma dimensions (Amazon) 4.75" x 5.75" = 27.3"2 Fwonkbeta dimensions (Stompboxsonic) 4.25" x 2.25" = 9.6"2 Ratio = 2.84 x as big. Q wins @fretmeister and @ped should still, however, go for a Fwonkbeta as the Enigma is clearly Q's balls 😂 Not a single comment on the IF in the last 14 posts on this thread, are we all bored of it already? 😁

Fixed! It is amusing, I agree. But it's been a slow day on the effects thread...😄

Dimensions are available on line - I might have got the wrong ones (I can see I was using the Amazon figures for the EHX Riddle Qballs), which gave the surprising relative areas. Feel free to plug the right ones into your calculator

5.87 to be precise.

TOTAL BASS MAYHEM !! You've so gotta get a decent video done of the gig.

...some may consider this a trivial matter (particularly if you don't have a pedal board)...but best not to forget to also mention that the EHX takes up approximately SIX times (5.87 times to be precise) the pedal board space of the Fwonk. No small feat feet, eh?😉

Ah, well spotted dB. Yup I think most of us leave our active basses unplugged when we're not playing them, and certainly over night, to maximise battery life.

After my trip to Wunjos and the shock news (ok that's by first world bass player standards!) that the GVB36s have been discontinued, I had a quite a bit of a trawl to see if I could flush one out. Turns out there were a just a final couple of new ones available in Europe and I've managed to source one from a German retailer at a very decent end-of-line price, significantly better than the RRP still being quoted by a couple of others. Order placed and really looking forward to it! Fingers crossed it doesn't get lost in the ether or turn out never to have been available in the first place! So, dear Woody, that's another fine Ibby SR I can lay the blame full square on you to Mrs Krow, then!

Yup, that would be my expectation from experience with all my other basses which have dual active / passive capability i.e operates just fine in passive without a battery present. @javi_bassist maybe worth re-checking exactly what is the position with yours and / or if you are saying something different to the point that John and I are getting at?

Very much ties in with the point @Reaper was getting at with his preceding post:

Ah that's annoying! So if you remove the battery and switch to passive mode you don't get any output? Having said that, if you're not planning on making use of the active mode you might as well just get a 435...

Fwonk is an excellent little pedal! Only moved mine on due to a lack of board space (and pestering from a BC mate who was keen to get his hands on it! 😀) It just edged it over the MXR BEF for me when solo'd but the I suspect the 'harsher' tone of the BEF would probably work better in a band mix.

Cheers dB. I guess the question for many filter users is just how many filter tones do they want / need? For me, that differs to a synth where it's a more creative experience and different soundscapes are very welcome. For many of us it's been a journey with primarily analogue filters and finding one that gives us the squelch we're after - we probably won't need more than a couple of great tones. So we would be looking for this to match the best of the rest in what it offers e.g. MXR BEF, Fwonkbeta (digital), 3Leaf GR2, Mu-Tron III etc - and kinda ties in with what Bo0tsy has just mentioned above. The issue with some SA "multi" products is that they are a great jack of all trades but don't end up killing any. Fingers crossed that this won't fall into that category.

Tbf that is probably exactly what most lawyers think of 50+ y/o bass players strutting their stuff on stage 😂

Nope that is merely the "acceptance" of the "offer".

A contract requires "consideration" typically money, even if just £1. From what Dave has said, no payment whatsoever was made here.

Does the IF do a lot more than the SA Manta can? Or is it a similar repackaging of the Manta's core engine in the same way that the SA Aftershock did to the SA OFD?
