  1. I'm really worried that I'll not make it now Still offshore! If I do come my other halfs gonna venture down too (mate who was gonna join me, has pulled out).
  2. Bought a Korg G5 from Goran. Great comms, great shipping and overall excellent to deal with. Would highly recommend.
  3. Hello - I was getting wrist pain pretty badly a little while ago. Went to the doctor and was suspected of CTS too. I was told to wear a wrist support (the ones with the metal rod) whilst sleeping to try and keep my wrist in the correct angle. I also was advised to get an ergonomic mouse for work (I work in IT) - so now got a funcy joystick looking thing. Did the nerve tests and found no issues...Until the doctor asked what my hobbies were. I mentioned bass (whilst miming with my hands), to which he said "Hold up, do that again... is that where your right hand sits?" I agreed - quick test found I was somehow trapping the nerve whilst playing! Changed my technique slightly and strengthened my wrists with exercise. Not much pain or issue now! Still get the odd flare up but it's controllable. Hopefully the nerve testing reveals whats wrong
  4. Quite like the idea of this. However - I'm happy with my head and cab. I would quite like to use some of the more strange effects within my pedalboard... Presume you could run in/outs on the sonic port as per normal board? Can you disable the amp in some of these apps? Eg could I run Bass > Tuner > Octave > Fuzz > Sonic Port > Synth > reverb (for example)?
  5. The price difference is insane. Prymaxe are pretty decent for shipping to here. Don't think I've been stung any time I've ordered from them!
  6. [quote name='Dolando' timestamp='1393790983' post='2384422'] Thats a great build! Can I ask, what do you use to make your templates from? I'm starting a build soon, and want to make a master template to use more than once. I'd also love to know some more info on installing LED's! Am I asking you to reveal too many secrets on that one. [/quote] Hey man - I'd ping Ou7shined a message Sure he'd be willing to assist! I'll try and get some recordings as soon as
  7. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1392843664' post='2373500'] ^^^dream on [/quote] Never know never thought the bass whammy would be reissued! If Akai were to make a reissue they could make ot the ultimate synth - usb editting, multiple wave forms and a bloody "down" button built in! I can dream! On the plus side they're coming down slowly... Just gotta get one at a price im willing to pay!
  8. I dislike IE11 greatly. Nothing I use works on it yet!
  9. [quote name='lemmywinks' timestamp='1392810524' post='2372927'] Dunno if this has been mentioned but I was reminded of this build when I spotted this bass on eBay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitarCustom-Hand-built-Horned-Hell-by-Robin-Jupp-of-Deadlight-Designs-/301101191864"]http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/301101191864[/url] [media]http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Bass-guitar-Custom-Hand-built-Horned-Hell-by-Robin-Jupp-of-Deadlight-Designs-/00/s/OTkyWDcyMg==/z/zrIAAOxyUrZSs3rW/$_12.JPG[/media] Time to cash in Rich! [/quote] Holy Crap! Do it Rich
  10. [quote name='thumbo' timestamp='1392807407' post='2372890'] Has anyone heard anything new about the release date on the bass whammy? Can't wait to get my hands on one of these, the Whammy IV has become my most used pedal over the past year so this is perfect timing [/quote] Andertons had end of March - but I got another email afterwards saying May. So it's totally confusing.
  11. [quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1392714390' post='2371795'] Received my Grand tarkin the other day. Still to play it but a pic below. Tom changed the frequency response of the clean blend to allow addition of pure low-end under the fuzz. Looking forward to running this with the band! [/quote] That sounds pretty cool - is it running into the meatbox? I'll bet that sounds demonic!
  12. Ou7shined on here. Rich took all my ideas and made them real. Based in Aberdeen. Bass looks and feels superb.
  13. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1392131311' post='2365109'] This is because bass players by and large are regarded by everyone who doesn't personally play music (and the vast majority that do) as failed guitarists... it's only got four strings, you don't play chords or widdly solos etc... hence when they see a good bass player you are seen to be playing bass like a guitar (ie. well) [/quote] Dunno - I've seen many a bass player playing as though they were playing massive chords/dreadnought guitars. That looks like playing bass like a guitarist. imo.
  14. Is that a he? Sounds kinda pretty distorted valve tone coupled with something muff like maybe? The Heliotropic might do that. Nice tone though!
  15. In a world where it's only the bad stuff about companies mentioned, Thought I'd let people know of the great service I received today. I ordered a certain pedal ( ) last night, forgot to use my loyalty points - thought bugger it, I'll try and get the cash back today. Emailed the guys and got a response within about 2 minutes saying it was no problem and I'd be refunded the points value asap. I know it's not much - but the speed and the fact they're willing to do this is great It's the little things that count! Very pleased
  16. I took a chance on the PF800 after hearing tons of issues about the 500. So far the 800 has been perfect (touch wood!). Dunno if Ampeg changed something with this model?
  17. Weird! I see it in the very bottom left (near change theme)
  18. Theres a link at the veeeery bottom of my screen (iphone)
  19. [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1391598917' post='2358926'] Oh good heavens fabulous Glad the epic journey was worth it. One like that, but 35" with 5 strings and in Candy Apple Red please [/quote] You should do it!
  20. I decided to get Rich to go a little nuts on the paint/polishing again - so it's currently having a little holiday where she'll come back relaxed, cleaned and looking fantastic. Which I should add I visited her the other night.... Oh my sweet baby jesus - the purple is looking amazing. He also went back and made the neck even better (which I didn't think possible!) - I can't even think of a description! But it's lovely. So smooth and lush. She'll be coming back with a new hipshot xtender and some nice new aurora black strings (possibly purple depending if I stick em on my lakland!) I have a ticket for moffat so will be with me (unless I get stuck offshore...) - so anyone who wants to see the Purple Beastie up close is welcome to give her a shotty.
  21. Jesus man! Know i put porn in the title but you gotta keep it PG! But that is hot.
  22. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1391522935' post='2358073'] Get photos up as soon as you receive this! Sounds fantastic Just to make you feel even better about the TK-421-x I've just sold a Rat Tail on to our guitarist, having picked one up from Joe's a couple of weeks ago so I could compare with the COG and my old Turbo Rat. The COG destroys the Fuzzrocious! Bizarrely the Rat Tail was my least favourite of the three...Don't know if it's the tin-can LM308 but quite an excessive top-end roll off, and I found the clipping on the highs to be a bit brittle and fizzy? Just couldn't get that "Clank" out of it on the low-gain settings, which is what I love about the original and the COG. The clean LPF/blend on the COG is just ingenious, makes it SO versatile! I'm very intrigued about the HPF on yours [/quote] For sure man! The HPF is to give a little nasal sound if possible. Aiming for an animato type sound. Tom's description - "it will kill people and destroy your enemies".
