  1. There is, of course, a lot of options available to you at this budget, however the rest of your 'spec' screams ACG Si
  2. [quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1433415550' post='2790847'] Personally I don't think I'd ever use more than 2, but it allows me to switch them around. Another cool thing is that the carry bags zip together so you don't have to take them apart to transport them [/quote] They may be completely solid, but I agree, I think their main business will be people who use two of them probably. Si
  3. I've just ordered a Warwick Rockboards Solo, they essentially look exactly like Pedaltrain Nano, but for a few pound less. I'm assuming exactly same factory etc. Will report back, I also have a Pedaltrain Nano that I can compare it directly to. Si
  4. The Stompblox system looks interesting, although I'd want to check how sturdy (picking it up etc) the whole thing is with say 4 or 6 of them connected, full of pedals. Si
  5. Yeah, I've seen lots of people use pedals over two boards, very common! Si
  6. Effectively, the Meatbox gives a particular tone (mild fuzzy octave) with a 30hz sub boost. You could approximate the effect of the Meatbox with an EQ (either pedal or amp) and boosting that lots at 30hz, then turn it up to gig volume. Actually don't......or at least be careful and don't blame me Si
  7. [quote name='Jonesy' timestamp='1433336798' post='2790188'] Sorry for the stupid question, but can you explain what you mean about the output being TRS to an idiot who is new to playing with effects and doesn't want to blow his rig up? =) [/quote] A standard mono instrument cable is comprised of Tip & Sleeve, a stereo cable is comprised of Tip, Ring & Sleeve. In this particular application, you can send different signals from the pedal to each part of the jack plug (with the exception of Sleeve which is always ground). And so, if you connect a standard mono instrument cable to this Meatbox, you'll get the effected signal to your amp, the Octave/dry signal is blendable via the Octave control. If you connect an 'insert cable' (google it), which is a stereo jack to 2x mono jacks, you can separate out the Wet (effected) signal, from a Dry (bass) signal. This is helpful for the meat box because it means you can send the dry signal to your amp and the effected signal to the PA (via a DI box as usual). Gives you the sub through the PA without destroying your amp Si
  8. Looks lovely, has a bit of a Sadowsky vibe about it. Matches my Fender/Warmoth P/J almost exactly Si
  9. [quote name='visog' timestamp='1433311557' post='2789879'] Agreed although in a MGS you're citing one of the most expensive basses in the world so your examples are a little rarefied. I saw the MGS connection too and it would be great for someone to do an A/B comparison... [/quote] Well if someone buys a Volo, let me know and we can try and sort something out . The 33" B examples were ACG basses, probably circa £1500 new. Si
  10. It's always nice to see newcomers to the field, but I think Pedaltrain have this sewn up at the moment. The Pedaldecks guys above look interesting, but again, probably a third of the size choices that Pedaltrain offer. Great to buy 'British' if they have the size you want, but if not? Si
  11. BBOT bridge that came from a Fender Japan body. 7/10 condition, works perfectly fine, but I think some height adjustment screws are replaced as some are taller than others. £10 plus £2 postage.

  12. [quote name='Chownybass' timestamp='1433249020' post='2789339'] Ha! We'd do one any colour if you were prepared to wait 40 days. [/quote] Oh really? Interesting prospect! Si
  13. [quote name='visog' timestamp='1433270492' post='2789665'] Potentially but it might take some nut & neck adjustment, set-up and experimentation with string gauges to get that low 'B' intonated and ringing properly. Getting a good low 'B' is a challenge on a 34" scale bass let alone 33". [/quote] Oh I'm not sure about that, I've played a few 33" basses that have great B strings, mostly ACGs to be fair. I imagine the restricting factor may be the frets, if they're as small as my MGS (which the Volo is modelled on to a degree), then having anything thicker than a .125 B string would probably just choke out. Si
  14. £100 for a 614, nice! And I thought I got a good deal on a 615 at £180 lol Si
  15. Antigua burst....that's all I'm saying Si
  16. Digitech/Juan have just clarified: The output is TRS: Tip = Octave+Sub, Ring = Dry Sleeve = Ground Boom, you'll need a long insert cable to get from the MB to the amp/DI, but it's workable! Si
  17. Just in case anyone wasn't aware, the auctions are up over here: [url="https://reverb.com/shop/circuitstocurecancer"]https://reverb.com/s...itstocurecancer[/url] Good luck to anyone who is bidding, I certainly will be Si
  18. It is probably the nicest looking P5 I've seen! And obviously pure quality too! Si
  19. Just a shame the dry-out has disappeared. A great way to use the Meatbox through a PA and not destroy your speakers was to use the dry out to your amp and the wet out to your DI box. Si
  20. I reckon my Fuzzrocious BDPG counts [url=http://postimg.org/image/xqzc1zmen/][/url] Si
  21. I don't know much about bass construction (I've played 33" 5ers with lovely Bs). But what I do know is that if you increase the size of the strings core (not the guage of the winding), you increase tension. Si

    I wonder if there's been a run on them?! To be fair I just ordered 1x Pink 1590a, so hardly a large stock Si
  23. I have to say, I went from 19mm 4strings, and an 18mm 5 string, to the 17.5mm of the MGS with no issues. It seems to be a string spacing that lends it's itself to easy playing without being too tight or alien! I had a 16.5 ACG before the MGS and that was a bit tight for me. Anyway, good luck with the sale. Si
  24. Got an indication of delivery date bud? Si
  25. These really are stunning basses. Si
