Hello everyone, This probably goes more for all the metal buddies out there - recently I've got an opportunity to face to face the original Microtubes X with version by DemonFX and did a short comparison for those who are interested since there are not that much can be found about that particular clone. Sure, there are differences, some of them are subtle, DemonFX is a bit bigger as it has a classic pedal housing, however power connector is a bit better placed to me personally, etc etc. In terms of sound I prefer my original one for wider level range and I think it has a bit more of a grind than the clone, but anyways for the money I think it is quite a good option to give a try for such type of distortion to understand whether it suits needs or not. So I leave it here more for some informational usage. Cheers! DemonFX vs Darkglass Electronics: MICROTUBES X: (more details on a gear and IRs used can be found in the video description)

I was surprised how cool this pedal is. It's definitely worth every buck it costs! you can check my review to see all tone possibilities, but I suggest to try it live or at lease extract audio and "reamp" with your fav amp/cab sim to get picture how it could sound live!

Hello forum, I know it might be a lot of people making gear reviews here on Basschat and YouTube overall, however I decided to make this topic and share with my in-depth reviews for different pedals that you might find useful (for yourself or someone who is interested in particular pedals). All my demos are showing how pedals influence the sound of dry bass signal. No talking, just bass riffing! Also I would love to receive any comments/critics/recommendations here or in comments below videos.

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1443019755' post='2871509'] Very nice, is the neck finished? Quite shiny. [/quote] Yes, neck was lacquered back then. I had a little maintenance so now neck would be oiled. At least for some time

Finally, c[color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]heck out me playing through song "Contemptible" of my band's [/font][/color][url="https://www.facebook.com/TheatrumBand"]Theatrum[/url][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] on this custom bass.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]What do you think about the tone in a mix?[/font][/color] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIDgYvGeu0Q

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Sorry for quality (taken from my instagram), but I don't usually take photo of my board [/font] [font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Simple, but still in progress - think to add compressor.[/font] [font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][/font]

Thank you for kind words, everyone! [quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1427124276' post='2726037'] Personally I'd prefer a less ostentatious 12th fret marker, and the reverse of the headstock, but that's just me. Lovely colour scheme, Looks like top quality work. [/quote] [quote name='Rikki1984' timestamp='1427136977' post='2726305'] Not a fan of the marker on the 12th fret but that is an amazing bass. [/quote] It's actually my [color=#252525][font=sans-serif]abbreviation of my name and surname - V G made in this kind of shape.[/font][/color] [quote name='charic' timestamp='1427124368' post='2726038'] Headstock sort of reminds me of : But better [/quote] To be honest, I'd say it's closer to this

[size=4][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Hello everyone, I would like to share with you custom bass made for me by Latvian luthier Andrew Schultz from [url=https://www.facebook.com/BrutalGuitars][i]Brutal Guitars[/i][/url]. Bass was made by my specifications, and together we came up to this design. This is first bass project of this luthier and must admit, that result is more than great. Will make demos of this instruments in near future. Now I'm using this in my prog/avant-garde project [url=https://www.facebook.com/TheatrumBand][i]Theatrum[/i][/url]!
