Hubba, hubba… 

Been looking at this and trying to justify to my wife why its a necessary expense...

Will this one have the push/pull for split coil tones?

I want a 5 string

That Bass The World video drew my attention to these basses but I can't find any in stock in the UK online shops. Really want a white or black one now.

6:00 by Dream Theater. I'm just starting to think its out of my skill level unfortunately.

Been keeping my eye on these listings for a few days but the ones I'm interested in are still out of my price range unfortunately. 

I know its not very helpful to say, but if this were a 5 string I'd have it in an instant! 

Beautiful looking bass, good luck with the sale

That looks so much better, definitely going to do this!

Up for pre-order at £849.

Got one a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Managed to get the tone in my head out of the pedal which is all I could have asked for!

Agree with the dials, might see if they can be swapped out for some more 'traditional' as they're easy to bump with your foot and almost impossible to read at certain angles.

Couple UK retailers have them now, this will be my next purchase on pay day. Just bought the Digbeth Pre amp.

Hope this is available before Christmas. Wife keeps asking me what I want and I want this!

Uh oh. That fuzz only when wah is activated feature is something I've wanted for a long time.

Going to keep an eye on this, hopefully its not horrifically expensive! 

Can the Mono Synth get the Let's Dance (David Bowie) sound?

Patrick Hunter just did a video on it: 

Might have to get one!

@SloppyChops I've only had it for a couple of days so perhaps I'll notice things that annoy me over time but so far so good, it holds it's own against any other Preamp/DI I've owned and seems pretty good value at £150. (Edit: Actually minor issues are that although the dials look cool they aren't that easy to read, separate headphone volume control could be useful if monitoring while also playing out via the outputs - rather than sharing the same volume control, and it's quite big). 

 

It's well built, good EQ options, a foot switchable tube type overdrive (that I like on mild settings), good connections: headphone , aux in, link, output, XLR pre/post with ground lift, and FX loop. No hissing or crackling or other build quality issues - it feels like it'll be reliable. 

 

I suppose the things it's missing that a lot of the preamp competition now has is amp/cab sim and IR loading - I'm not too fussed about that and could put something like a Mooer Radar in the FX loop if I become fussed about it. 

 

This video gives an idea of the sounds:

 

 

 

Appreciate it. I've watched that video like 5 times now as its the only one I've been able to find! 

I think it would suit my needs pretty well so I'll buy one on payday!

After singing it's praises the Nux annoyed me by not connecting to Laptops (Mac or Windows 10) so I've returned it and replaced with a Laney Digbeth.

 

First impressions are it's bigger than I expected, looks good and seems well built, sounds good, lacks the IR and editing features of the Nux (which I guess is a plus point if things like Laptop connections, firmware updates etc. annoy you ) but gains an fx loop and more hardware controls. 

 

 

Any thoughts on it? I'm about to pull the trigger on one but can't find much information about it at all.
