    It's a 14 year old thread but here's where it started: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/darkglass-pedals-are-going-to-be-made-in-the-usa-now.892646/ The relationship didn't pan out - don't know the specifics - but these Built in the USA units are Spencers redesigns. Anyway - great pedal (mine is still on my board). GLWTS!

    I have one of these - it's one of the Spencer Doren built units (3 Leaf Audio) from the very short collaboration between him & Darkglass. Loads of info about that relationship on that other forum! Suffice to say, a pretty well built box that does the low gain thing very well and a possible collectors piece in years to come? GLWTS.

    Just going to chime in here (for provenance, or whatever)- I was the guy Shaun got this bass from - in fact we traded my (this) Olly White Std Jazz for his Olly White Std P (it's still going strong Shaun)! I was the first owner, having bought it new from GAK in Brighton sometime in 2014. It's a great bass, reasonable weight iirc and great tone with the Aggy pups installed. Was my main gigging bass until I bought my Sadowsky then it retired to its' case - hence the trade. The dent in it as pictured was caused by my Fodera at the time falling over on stage. I like to think the Jazz leapt forward to save it (!) and it should therefore be considered a hero 🤣!! Hope you're well Shaun and GLWTS!

    Thanks for all the input fellas - I went to my local Warhammer today and got some white base coat (it's got more pigment apparently 🤷‍♂️ - who knew!?). Taped it up with frog tape and slapped it on! It's run into the grain in a couple of places but that will clean up ok once it's fully dried. Does the job and now I can see where to put my sausages on a darkened stage 🙂 Only bought it for 2 songs - Boys Of Summer and New York Minute - they didn't sound right on a fretted bass IMO. Glad it's only 2 songs though as it's feckin' heavy compared to my other basses! Still, I'm really rather impressed with it for the money - dare I say it sounds & plays better than the Fender Jaco Artist series I had a while back and that cost me over a grand.

    Hi BC'ers Little quandary that I'd like to probe the hive mind about 🙂 Bought a cheapo Harley Benton fretless jazz from Thomann that turned up today. First impression is that it's really not a bad bass for £150, although a tad heavy (4.8kg) and needed a bit of a setup straight from the box. The issue I have with it is the side fret-line markers are nigh-on impossible to see in any dim/subdued lighting! Any of you lovely souls have an easy & elegant solution, before I go to the model shop for a fine brush and some white enamel paint? Cheers all Steve

    Idly perusing and came across this - yes, running mine into my V4B and it sounds lush. I mean, it's more lush (cos a P Bass into a V4B is pretty sublime already). I have the DI at the end of my pedalboard chain sent to FoH, the V4B is just for me on stage. Tend to keep it pretty clean normally and jump on a pedal if I need a bit of dirt.

    Not full time - I do have a day job but, as a freelancer in Broadcasting, I get a fair bit of downtime. It does seem like a lot when it's written down like this but it's what I do to relax and as yet I've not felt overwhelmed (👈 kiss of death right there)!

    Hadn't thought about it until reading this thread made me think about it.... On top of the usual rehearsal schedule to keep 'em fresh - (Pop Orchestra - around 35 tunes, function band - around 120 tunes, 3 originals bands - around 50 tunes total) at the mo it's: 27 Eagles songs for a potential seat in a touring tribute - TBC 25 Kylie tunes for a dep seat in a touring tribute Writing 10 basslines for a Singer/Songwriter project about to go on the road Had to learn Stratus, Behind The Veil & Savannah Woman for an impromptu party gig last week with about 48hrs notice. Always in the shed 🙂
