    Someone at the dutch bass guitar forum (basgitaarforum.nl) made a video with a lot of samples of the Ring Thing.

    A bit of an acquired taste then :unsure:
    If I'm being brutal.....I very much don't like a single sound from it!

    Interesting. Their product demo vids seem to be improving too.

    I have a V800 and the active output is no more than a strong passive. (I have no idea if the circuitry is different in the EST, however)

    Have the manufacturers of your fx kit put any sneaky active/passive switches anywhere? I would have thought if your kit behaves ok with a passive, then there's an attenuator missing somewhere. Other than that I'm on headscratch duty!

    Everything works perfect with my deluxe jazz which is active but this bass is probably louder than my p bass passive. Somethings buggered somewhere! Haha

    How's that power supply? Any issues with noise or anything?

    No nothing as of yet. It's been great to start with but I'm more then sure I'll have to get something with a bit more output later.
    I got my enigma q balls in the loop now and if I turn on the power supply with that plugged in it goes a bit weird. But if I turn on on then plug in the enigma theres no problems which is strange, although I'm surprised this is working cuz the enigma needs 200ma

  5. I've had a Vintage EST96AF 5-string for some time now and always known its output volume is pretty loud but I've never recorded with it and I didn't have any pedals then.
    Now I've made a board and filled it up this bass is cause some horrible problems. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mine is so damn loud it makes my my audio interface clip at 0 on the input volume and also I'm finding it hard to run it with my pedal board as the output drives my compressor (on low settings) mental and kills the sound along with keeping my Enigma Q balls overload light on. [/font][/color]
    [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]It doesn't matter if i compress first or after the effects, I get the same problem.

    Any ideas on how to tackle this?? I've tried taking the battery or preamp as a first idea but that just doesn't work. Could I convert it to passive? or should I look at getting a better preamp?[/color][/font]

    I've just modded mine to something very close to the 'deluxe'; added a "mid", "gate" and "blend" control. Awesome. Not £100 either!
