My Antique enclosure is all etched and painted, very happy with it. SMDs are done, populated all the resistors in the board ready for soldering, just need to find some time (when baby is not around....fumes) to solder it all. Si

Yeah, think it's rounds on his Jazz, flats on his MM. What isn't mentioned is how old and dead his rounds are lol, but yeah, great tone all the time from Mr Dart Si

I thought this had a clean blend too?! Or is that someone else's Heliotropic?! Si

Shame they didn't see fit to seperate out the octave, fuzz & envelope onto seperate footswitches, way more useful than a boost (lazy inclusion from someone with a guitar mindset) & chorus. Still a nice piece of gear, but couldn't replace a good setup of individuals for me at the mo, shame. My guitarist friend has the Richie Kotzen one and loves it! Si

Also had great experiences with Hipshot, long may it continue Si

Note that if you have a luthier build you something, they'll likely request that you send them the neck so they can fit the neck pocket specifically to that neck. Not a bad thing obviously, but worth noting that you might have to factor that postage cost into the final cost of the body I've had a neck from Warmth and it was great, not had their bodies, but imagine everything is made to 'Fender' specs so necks/bodies will fit perfectly fine, but not as bespoke as having a Luthier make it Si

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1477253703' post='3160929'] Must be a savage case of GAS. I wake up in the night thinking of these in that finish! [/quote] Now's the chance [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1477260990' post='3161018'] I've just what your looking for! But no cash to add till at least the new year �� stunning bass. [/quote] I'm in no rush, so who knows I've also uploaded a rough demo I was asked to record recently, sounded like it needed a 5 on it, good chance to hear it 'in the mix' with little (if any actually) processing. Find it in the original post. Some interest, PMs replied too. I'm potentially interested in Lakland & MAYBE G&L USA, again both 5 strings and no Blueburst . Probably Rosewood too. Si

[quote name='Prosebass' timestamp='1477269892' post='3161050'] I honestly think she is the best bassist I have heard since Jaco. I think we are about to witness the next bass phenomenon. [/quote] Yeah I wouldn't go this far, but she is very very good and definitely carving a path for herself! Si

SOLD I don't need, or particularly want, to sell this, it's an excellent bass which I get on with very well! But I have terrible Musicman GAS (I also want some humbuckers in a 5) and I'm on a strict one in, one out policy. So this is the lightweight version of the XJ-1T 5, basically it has a marginally slimmer body, a thinner neck profile, 18mm spacing at bridge as opposed to 19mm, lighter weight Hipshot bridge and so comes in at 9.5lbs. This all adds up to being very playable over long periods! Handmade in Japan. Swamp Ash body Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard Electrum metallic finish (basically like a nice faded shoreline gold) You can read fully about the spec here, mine doesn't' have the Hum Cancelling thing as that's a paid extra, but is a very quiet bass: [url="http://xotic.us/instruments/basses/xj-series"]http://xotic.us/inst...asses/xj-series[/url] Because I don't need to sell it, I'm not going to underprice it. Bass Direct have the same bass for £2499 here (same spec): [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Xotic_XJ5_Light_Gold_RW.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ht_Gold_RW.html[/url] As such, you can get this immaculate (as new) bass, with similarly immaculate case for £2k, £499 off the new price and same condition! This also has the newer script logo on the headstock, which I much prefer, bit more vintagey The three last pics are from the original listing on BDs website, they are of my bass, not the current stock mentioned above. [url="https://postimg.org/image/3nmetlsm9/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/4ef4zduzl/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/on2il3uap/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/m70p79c81/"][/url] I've attached a rough demo track I was asked to record this week, sounded like it needed a 5er as opposed to my usual Precision, so prime opportunity to hear it in the mix . The forum is doing it's usual thing of changing the file format to .ipb, just download the file and rename it to .mp3 to play it SOLD Cheers Si

I've been talking to the UK distributor recently, they don't have any Sterling 5s and the wait is 5-6months from MM. All of the options are on the MM website now, very few customizable options. Sometimes they do limited runs (there's a midnight sparkle thing at the mo), but nothing more. Si

Heya, We did see some clipping issues on the 1st Gen with guitars/basses that had fairly high output, however this has now been completely fixed in the 2nd Gen units. As someone also mentioned, the 2i4 has a selectable pad whereas the 2i2 does not. You can of course use the Line input option, however this will give you a different tone due to the impedance change, not usually for the better. Fortunately you don't seem to be having any issues, but if you find that they start to creep in as you change/upgrade guitars etc, then the 2nd Gen will be the upgrade to make after hopefully wetting your whistle with the 1st Gen Cheers Si // Focusrite Media Relations

Hi bud, I'm here with my 'Focusrite Employee' hat on, so feel free to ask any further questions you need. Thanks Dad for the advice above, but there are some things I feel I want to clear up/clarify So the basic differences between the 8Pre and the 8PreX are as follows: - 8Pre has 8 channels of ADAT, 8PreX has 16 channels of ADAT - 8Pre has Wordclock Out, 8PreX has both In & Out - Whilst every channel on the 8Pre has 48v (Phantom Power) available, they are in two blocks of four. So 48v to channels 1-4, and 5-8. The 8PreX has dedicated 48v per channel, this is helpful if you're using a real mix of mics, for example if in two adjacent channels you have a mic that needs 48v, and one that alsolutely can't receive it (as it will damage it). - It's not possible to connect a 2Pre or 4Pre as a channel extension as Dad mentions above, due to those interfaces not having an ADAT Out port, only ADAT In. You can of course use another 8Pre (as it has both ADAT In & Out) as an channel extension, however most people will simply use a dedicated channel strip such as our Clarett Octopre, connected to your 8Pre or 8PreX over ADAT. With the 8PreX, you could even connect two Clarett Octopres (because of the Xs 16 channels of ADAT) for a total of 24 analogue channels (this is also where the Wordclock comes into play) - Each channel on the 8PreX also has dedicated phase reverse and low pass filter features - Also worth mentioning that Word Clock is simply another option to clock two devices together, if using an interface with an external channel extension device, 99% of situations allow for the user to simply clock over ADAT, meaning no extra cables. Some more in-depth setups might call for Wordclock to be added to the equation if there are 3 or more devices being used. So, I'm certainly not suggesting all the above is correct and necessary for you, most of it isn't, but wanted to clarify some things as I mention . In my opinion, if you want to really set yourself up with a great and expandable setup, I would plump for the 8Pre to get started. Then if you genuinely feel you need more channels, simply get a channel strip such as the Octopre to add another 8 channels. Hope the above helps clarify some stuff, I just finished the JoCee album tracking my Precision straight into a 2Pre, and it sounds fantastic to my ears, a step up from my previous Saffire unit. Si // Focusrite Media Relations Oh also, as a P.S. today we have released our Focusrite Control iOS app. Meaning you can now control some aspects of the Clarett range (and Red and Scarlett range) using your iPhone/iPad

Yeah pedals aren't going to do it really, definitely key bass I work for Novation, and the Bass Station 2 gets there easily, Darrell Freeman killing it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BLjIOd0BXeH/?taken-by=darrell_freeman Si

Bit of a feeler, but thinking of moving on my SFX Loop Logic effects loop. It is a 2 channel effects loop which allows you to select either loop individually, or both simultaneously. You can obviously also bypass both loops to run the input straight to the output. Each loop channel has a dedicated volume control. Mine also has the m:Power feature, allowing you to Daisy peer to the pedals from the LL, in the same way as the Boss TU2/3 tuner: http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/customshop/loop_logic.jpg One of these will cost you £189 direct from Max and is a custom shop pedal (I.e. there's a build wait, no stock). Looking to sell for £130 inc postage, perfect condition, not sure there was a box originally, but will obviously pack very securely in an appropriate box.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1475750343' post='3148401'] Helloooooooooo! I wonder how much something similar would be from the Fender CS? Would anyone like to hazard a guess? [/quote] Well into £4k I reckon. Love the gold sparkle, but not keen on the black block/maple combo. Bet it's great to play though Si
