You may well be correct!!!! Theres remarkably little about sai bass on the Internet If anybody has any good info about these early models I'd be happy to learn about them.

Because there's very little actually wrong with it. I might just get Bow or similar to do a refinish. There's actually no Luthier required really. But I like the idea of the original builder bringing it back to original condition.

Very interesting thanks. Yes one of the things that sold me on it is the tone of the B being the same as the E.

Yes it is.

Yes. Couple of cracks in the top. But nothing that can't be easily repaired. None of the work I intend to have done affects tone/playability. It's a superb instrument already. I'd just like to restore it to original condition. Shouldn't be much more than a good body refinish. I'd be happy to leave the neck as is.

Picked this up in bass direct today. Couldn't resist after a couple of hours playing it. Its got a super low action, amazing B, punchy as flip with 2 single coil EMG. I beleive it to be an early model. Spec: Flame maple body, Cocobolo top and back, Gloss natural finish,Flame Maple/Wenge through neck, Ebony fingerboard with maple edgeing It needs some work, but nothing that affects playability. Finnish related stuff. I plan to restore it to original as far as possible. Chuffed. X

https://mu-tron.com/products/ripper/ anybody tried one?

@Sibob have you had a chance to try one? i understand sequential are now owned by focusrite?

As do I. Covid had been hard. I had assumed maybe he had unfilled your order when others had been satisfied If that's not the case, them I take it back. Mental health is a real and current issue that needs addressing with support and care.

I'm going to take the plunge on this. It seems like the synth 8ve been waiting for. FYI my previous have been the novation BS2 and morpho x4. I've been considering the peak for weeks now. But for similar money I feel the additional keyboard, analogue oscillators and simplicity of design will be more to my taste.

Spencer is a fool for letting you down. So many people I know hold your opinions in such high regard.. he could have sold so many if he had impressed you. His loss. Just mho of corse.

they obviously realised they had misspriced it and put the price up. maybe it will come down again soon. it does errk me a bit tho as i would have probably gone for one had it been 999 and i thaught i was getting a bargain

i checked the link last night it was 999

this thread is not good for me.

Theres a thread somewhere where I posted some clips. If you can't find it. Or I deleted it. Then I can re-reccord some later.

Strymon deco ended my search for low gain overdrive. turns out i needed a tape saturation.

i used to have one of these. i loved it. it siunds very similar to the MXR BEF when just using one chanel. the 2 chanels are voiced slightly differently. i got some wicked sounds out of mine. id diddnt really fint into my es8 setup back then but would defo consider another one now. great score!

done a little clip of the kangra. filter then the fuzz, then the 2 combine same settings. i forgotten how responsive the filter is. an the gated fuzz on its own feeds well into other filturds too. kangra mix.mp3kangra mix.mp3

I've got a brown dog clone. A brown dog. And a kanga. I like them all for different reasons. I really like the kangra, and it gets packed it the gig bag often when I dont take a board.

been looking at this, but that damage, and the fact that its spec is exactly the same as my current sandy, has enabled me to resist. would look lovley next to my Fender jazz tho.
