I would put the ACG posted above in exactly the same category as the Wal posted above, hand-built, boutique basses. The spec is different because different people ordered them. I wouldn't touch either of them but I wouldn't start a thread centered around the fact that not many people complain about the brands. Go practice the bass people lol Si

Yup, just spec exactly the measurements you want. Perhaps an Elwood (Jazz) dimension neck on a Jake body would be better for you, perhaps a 33" or 32"scale length, no extra charge for each of those spec changes Si

Most dub players won't use an octave, and just boost the lows and cut the highs. The old DOD Bi-Fet Pre pedal does a good dub sound! But yes, if you want a more processed subby sound, get a Boss OC-2, crank the -1 control and turn off the direct signal control Si

I'll certainly be there, one or possibly two days, repping BC and catching up with a lot of lovely people! Si

My soon-to-be Maruszczyk (being built) will probably come in around 7.5lbs, maybe slightly less. My Fodera is about 10.5lbs I think. Thought you'd all be interested in that Si

DiMarzio Model P should always be a contender, solid tone! I've also been very impressed with sound clips of Haussel pickups, looking forward to hearing them properly in an upcoming Maruszczyk build Si

Hi all, It's been a while, but am very excited to present an interview with the bassist from one of my favourite bands, The Dear Hunter. It's currently 1:20am, and seeing as I lost my entire edit of the interview once this evening, after the re-do, i'm afraid the BC forum text formatting is killing me. So please take a look at the full interview on my blog below. If you haven't heard of The Dear Hunter, you'll definitely like them.....seriously....there's videos and songs embedded in the interview any everything: [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/post/130366888058/interview-with-nick-sollecito-the-dear-hunter"]http://simonpoulton....the-dear-hunter[/url] You can also read my past interviews with bassists such as Liam Wilson (Dillinger Escape Plan), Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch), Gabe Nelson (Cake), Adam Burton (Arcane Roots), Jim Creeggan (Barenaked Ladies), Owen Biddle (Mister Barrington), in the archive here: [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/archive"]http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/archive[/url] Cheers Si

Just on some quick searches (am at work), I can only see the usual places stock the Duo version. Si

Are you any good with a soldering iron and small components/PCBs? If so, check out the Fuzz Dog catalogue of DIY pedal kits, you can build an OCD pedal for about £25 or so. You could also purchase a Boss ODB-3 and mod it with the Monte Allums kit, that would probably set you back about £60 with a second hand ODB-3 The Joyo stuff is ok......meh Si

Two from a band called The Dear Hunter: Waves "I thought that I knew love, but it was just a wave crashing over us" The Love "I was 22 when I first died" Si

[quote name='eevespete' timestamp='1443441020' post='2874637'] Think I need to step up and get myself a Svoboda.. anybody on here have one? I tried one at LBS last year and it knocked my socks off .. plus, Adrian is an absolute gent. [/quote] They look quite Citron-esque Si

Both sound great! Very glad I ordered mine now :-D, it should fit in well with my '71 P Si

Yes, great day as always! Those MTD 6s were lovely! Nice to catch up with some people I haven't seen in ages Thanks all who organised! Si

All fuzz is distortion, not all distortion is fuzz Si

I helped design/spec the 66 with Tom @ COG (I have the prototype) so always happy to see when people are interested . Basically the Knightfall is too separate channels, where you set the clipping, gain and volume on each channel, you then switch between the channels. The EQ and blend is then global. The Dual Knightfall is a bit different, no blend, and effectively two Knightfalls in one box, where I kicking in the second runs one into the other.....or run each one on its own Si

I'll definitely be there, but will have to leave about 3:15 or so Si
