[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1481048555' post='3189332'] Trawling through and saw this. I used to wave at Brightlingsea folk. Mersea boy. I'm thinking that suitably set up the Knightfall with do subtle warmth/a hint of grit but that the Tarkin won't?? Peter [/quote] Haha, small world In my experience, OD/Distortion can be wound back for that slight grind/hair vibe. But Fuzz only really sounds good full tilt IMO. Si

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1481654652' post='3194093'] Ace that is!! [/quote] I had a quick blast of it last night, it's really cool! I think I'm going to use it as a soloing tone, with the the second footswitch as some momentary weirdness! It can obviously go into fully strange, self-oscillation too which is also great fun. Si

I thought I heard that the Stingray 5H humbucker position was slightly different to the 4 string?! That was a long time ago though, could be wrong. Si

So my new Anomalies turned up. Stock over Kid-Paint: [IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/j6tmjr.png[/IMG] Si

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1481580872' post='3193519'] GAK have a [url="https://www.gak.co.uk/en/music-man-sterling-natural-rosewood/25845"]natural one in stock now[/url] at a really low price compared to normal[/size] [/quote] Oh man, if that were a 5, it would be on its way to me. Si

I've been looking into this at the moment too, albeit with 5string Musicman basses. I emailed Strings & Things (who were very helpful), but they mentioned that they had no stock of Sterling 5s in the U.K. I was invited to order one, but thenorder would take 5-6months potentially. They weren't able to let me know if there were any dealers with stock (Google suggests there isn't). I've got a couple of friends with Sterling 5s, but with them and I being busy players, we're like ships in the night. This means I'll likely go for a Stingray 5, which propagates this 'very few Sterlings' in the U.K. thing. Cheers Si

I recorded my PH-3 on a Corybantic tune today. Sounded awesome! Will post the track when it's mixed & mastered etc Si

For a while I used an old Ibanez PH-5, sounded fantastic! Really liked it! I swapped it out for a Boss PH-3 because I just needed something a little more extreme, which it does, but it doesn't sound quite as good as the PH-5 at more 'normal' settings. Si

The sonic blue Ray 5HH is very cool, definitely my choice, closely followed by the 30th Anniversary! Si

I'll almost certainly be there, even if there's evening gigs to play . Great hang! Si

So a refinish (assuming it's just a body refine) should command around half of the full market value. If it's a neck and headstock refin as well, even less. So an £8k 1963 is pretty top money for an all original, I would certainly expect a refin with non-original pickup to go for closer to £3k, maybe even late 2ks if there's other stuff missing. If you want a cool (but expensive project), then get the '63, then find and buy the period correct parts over the coming years, you might end up spending £800 on a pickup, but it will eventually give you an all original '63 (minus the finish of course), you'll certainly learn a lot about vintage Fenders along the way. However, if it doesn't sound or feel perfect for you now, and a relic does, then get the bass that is going to inspire you to play and make you and the band sound the best it can! Si

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1479465457' post='3176728'] Glad to see a Focusrite rep on here Si.... [/quote] Absolutely, although I was certainly a member here before I started at Focusrite But in any case, always happy to field questions etc! Cheers Si

My main setup involves a P with flats and an MXR envelope, sounds great!! Yeah the only real difference is how the bass triggers the effect. So i'd argue similar tones are possible from an envelope with a J or P, but the pedal settings will be quite different! Si

Don't think TRAPCo is going any more, or rather Shep sold his share to Mark ages ago. I know Dan @ Gig-Rig does this for quite big acts (presumably because it's pretty expensive). It's not something I'd invest in, simply because I'm constantly tinkering and changing stuff, ripping it off and starting again. Unfortunately this means that it's never tidy haha. Sure there's plenty of people who'd be interested, but yeah, needing to be on Facebook in order to view details of the page might be a little restricting perhaps, maybe a Tumblr type holding page would also help.
