I use it to record the band when we work on new songs and the result is very good. +1

Not sure if it's gonna help or confuse you even more but here you have a pickup comparison thread from Talkbass: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91384"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91384[/url] I'm about to replace the pickups on my Geddy Lee and I was also thinking Dimarzio Model J but I really don't like the look of the adjustable pole pieces. I've just checked their website and they seem to have change that option, the adjustable poles I mean, and now they look as any other jazz pickup, is that for real or just they've got the wrong picture?

Bought a Sansmap VT Bass from Rich and I'll say it again, he's a great guy and a pleasure to deal with. Cheers man

Have a look on this post on pickups comparison from Talkbass...I think it will help you, if not confuse you even more with your choice: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91384"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91384[/url]

[quote name='JJTee' post='492573' date='May 19 2009, 06:15 PM']... I'd love to find a power supply that has an 18v output capability (for the Blow Torch, which the DC brick has)) AND has isolated outputs to deal with the reverse polarity of the Compulator (if I use the DC Brick, it shorts out the other outputs), then I'd get one of those. For now, the Compulator runs on batteries.[/quote] I had the same issue with the Compulator and people on Talkbass said they didn't have any problems powering the Compulator with the DC Brick using the 18v cables supplied by Dunlop. I tried and I haven't had any problems at all, it works fine for me...and many other people.
