    Ooo you know me well, it is a JJ passive! But lots of others specs to guess haha Si
  2. Sibob
    I just put in my next order with Lakland…any guesses on spec? 😁 Si

    Just plumbed in my new (to me) Grey Stache, sounds so good! Diode options and tone bypass mod! Si

    Yeah I absolutely do this….although like a few above, will usually try and have duplicates where finances allow. Saves from pulling boards apart, also gives me a some spares if one of those duplicates goes down! Si

    It’s still with me, I haven’t been pushing it as I might get away with not selling it…..but if there was an offer, I’d consider it still. Si

    Easily the 3 Schu-Tone 1590a pedals I had arrive. One original Chorus circuit, and two overdrives based on popular bass overdrives (but not available in this small an enclosure). So happy with them. Si

    The DG B7K Ultra v2 I had for a short while, really didn’t think much of that at all (in my use-case), was very short-lived. Si

    Indonesia, the changeover was 2008/2009 (both factories were Cort interestingly), so this would be a very early Indonesian build. Si

    Hi all, Moving on this fantastic 2008 Lakland 55-02 for a couple of different reasons; I’m primarily a 4 string player and I’m looking to order another Lakland US bass. Last in, first out and all that. This bass is stock, so Lakland LH3 pickups/preamp, as well as a really nice slim and fast neck profile, not as chunky as my 2016 55-01. The colour is a solid ‘piano’ black, not a black sparkle like more recent 55-02s. The bass is in great condition, no wear to write home about other than the standard swirling you might see on a 17 year old bass. The input jack has a slight intermittent issue which would be a simple fix for anyone with a soldering iron. Typically I would, but only have lead solder and don’t want to have the fumes with a new baby in the house. Weight wise it’s pretty much bang on 9lbs (see photo). Not unusual for Skylines of this era, but fairly rare of the newer ones. These are the only pictures I have of it so far, will grab a few more tomorrow (along with a post-it haha). Potentially interested in a Guild Starfire II in trade (not green) in trade. Or a Sire P5-5 in white as part-ex. Don’t really have the means/brain space to ship it at the moment, so pickup/meetup preferred. I’m in Hazlemere, Bucks, basically High Wycombe. £750 inc very basic gig bag. Cheers Si

    A fair shout haha Si

    I can’t think of a brand I’d be less inclined to give my money to! Si

    Different tuning though no? Si

    That’s a tough one! The Noble board is my main board and has been for years, so that is just dialed in. The Pedaltrain Nano below it is an attempt to capture a similar vibe and sounds in a smaller footprint for when I’m not taking my full rig out (my amps and Noble board typically live in a packed away flight case). The ‘clean’ board top-right is cool, with the CE-5 being one of the early analogue ones (they’re all digital now), old Octaver too, May ‘82. I often use that board with Jocee. The ‘dirt’ board at the bottom is just for fun at this point, but hopefully will get to apply it to some music at some point, lots of big grindy tones. And the HX Stomp is for when I just need any of the above in a tiny, easy-to-transport package…plus a mic-level DI. All of them, but ultimately, it’s all about the Noble board! Si

    I’m not quite sure what you mean, but I like it. It’s 5 separate boards really. Si
  15. Sibob
    Yup, that’s my Fuzzrocious BDPG 🙂 Si
  16. Sibob
    Done for a bit I reckon 😅 Si
  17. Sibob
    Indeed, that’s not really the issue here though. Si
  18. Sibob
    Yes, now if they’d called them Shreddies, we’d be into DemonFX territory. Si

    I sometimes play with a guitarist who heavily relies on sounds from a laptop in a similar setup. Largely fine, but there has been a couple of instances where the laptop has crashed and he’s had to restart it…..which is 3-5mins of particularly awkward space to fill, especially when it’s a private function. It’s not for me lol. Si
  20. Sibob
    It’s a fair question, it’s purely because I want the option to send Mic level, which the Stomp can’t do natively. Si
  21. Sibob
    Need? No…..but where’s the fun in that! 🤣 Updated ‘board family’ pic coming soon. Si
  22. Sibob
    Actually, no, Boss don’t use the number 4 in their naming as it’s considered unlucky. Pronouncing 4 (shi) in Japanese is very similar to their word for death. Si
  23. Sibob
    I made an ickle one: Pedaltrain PB3 pedal-riser makes a nice little board. HX Stomp + passive Radial DI. Si
  24. Sibob
    PM’d you. Si

    We’ll agree to disagree, my opinion is that it’s their intent to deceive, on whatever level. The litmus test would be to produce those same pedals in a country that is WAY more consistent with enforcing it’s IP legal framework, and let us know how many days it takes to receive the cease and desist 🤷‍♂️. People will buy what they want, the free market wins out and there will always be loopholes ‘acceptable’ exceptions through precedent…but we exist in a relatively tiny (bass) industry…and I’m sure we’d all like to continue having nice things available to us. DemonFX are some peoples acceptable exception, not for me. Si
