I have their original larger bass one, and it’s a great tone enhancer type of compressor. A sort of always on affair.

Just saw on Talkbass this morning, that Diamond have shut up shop

No, I wasn’t even mentioning you, not that would. I just had loads of receipts, loads of messages, loads of bank transfers, and names on Basschat, that often don’t marry up with the person’s real name. So kept trying to make sense of it. It’s a possibility that there’s been one of the £40 pedals that’s not been paid for- but I don’t honestly know. 
 

Thankfully I’ve almost sold everything that I don’t use, so should never confuse myself again with selling stuff he he 

I wasn’t sure- sorry mate. I’d sold that many pedals in a short space of time, and had loads of Post Office receipts, that I’d lost track. Just must’ve accidentally deleted our messages, as I was trying to tie up the messages on here, to the PO receipts. Got myself in a right pickle 

Only the Burninator and Micro Energizer left now - all else sold . 

Cannot find the messages for the E Filter - think someone has it , and not yet paid . Live and learn I suppose

I watch loads of Rick, as and when I can. 
 

I never ever tire of him in the slightest 

A pre I’ve always lusted after

No mate, I need a front end, preamp or pedal. Any suggestions?

These are supposed to be unbelievable value for the money. Pre amp pedal of choice, then into this (in case the pedal won’t drive a power amp as some don’t). 
 

Like lots of stuff, when you get into separates, it’s all down to taste. 

What Pre amps do you have in your rack Owen?

A quite expensive pedal, but I’ve pretty much emptied my board, now I’m playing in a soul band. So got a few funds. Unsure if it’s just an extravagance or not, but apart from some good reviews, yet to find a bass review on YouTube. 
 

 

Or maybe a REDDI instead with an XLR splitter cable. One into the power amp, and one in case I need the DI function

These look really nice . Been checking the net about this one - the same as The Brick that followed it . The Brick added a Mic 'in' - that's the only difference . 

This will also drive a power amp directly I believe . 

Almost half tempted by this , as can never seem to find a Khan DI up for sale .

Are you still rolling with that lovely Aguilar DB680?

Not much info on these on Basschat - apart from a random sale a while ago . 

I like what the Diamond does as an always on compressor - I'm using it more of as a tone enhancer really . 

The Effectrode PC-2A is in a similar vein I suppose , and was thinking of one of those - or maybe go the full hog with the LA-1A . Though a fair bit more pricey . 

Have any one of you lovely peeps had a play around with either?

Tech 21 Q strip isn’t flavoured at all. 
 

I had one for a bit (as I have many pedals), and only sold it as I didn’t really need it. It’s like a recording console string in pedal format really. Loads of YouTube clips with these

Can this be locked please . 

Thanks

Happened to me at The Gallery over an Ibanez EDC700. The bass was second(-hand, and the advice was to phone them. 

So I did, and paid for it there and then. 

Then they phoned me back a bit later,  saying it had been sold even though it was still listed. This, plus a previous incident, means I won't be bothering The Gallery with my custom again.

 

Happy ending, however.

I put up an ad on here in Items Wanted, and ended up with an EDC715  and an EDA900 instead.

 

The Gallery’s web site isn’t very good. If you select ‘in stock’ basses, there’s still loads that pop up marked up as sold. 
 

I bought a second hand Berg cab off of them around two years ago, and it was still on their site as available a year later

These are as good as anything 3 times the price really. Alas, I’m spent out at the moment.

They’re about 600 ish normally. Which for what they are, represent great value for money. I saw that Stingray, and others on EBay. Definitely some optimistic pricing

There’s a nice natural Stingray Classic 5 on eBay at the moment but it’s rather expensive (same model in black was up at £1399 in PMT a few months ago) and something about the listing rings alarm bells. Not that I have room for another bass

Just went to check it out , did a search , and saw a Status Groove up for 1.5K - sort of Status Stingray , if you will . Some people's asking prices , as you say , are mental . 

After playing 4’s for 35 years, the 19mm on the Dingwall is really nice, but even after a year, I’m still occasionally stumbling when string crossing. So the Modulus is like ‘proper’ 4 string spacing. I’ll see how I get on he he 

Yep is really good. Got the East uni Pre I think. 3 stacked knobs- vol/blend, bass/mid, and mid/freq. Then passive tone with pull passive overall. Then two 4 position knobs/ one for each pickup- combinations of front and back coils, and series/parallel. So everything could ever want and more. Think the guy got the Norstrand PU’s as a special build, to accommodate the 21.5 mm bridge spacing 

Had this for around 2 months now. Yet to gig it, as for the Soul band, the Dingwall 5P, is pretty much perfect for that. Got quite a few function band deps lined up for next year, so going to have a proper play around, as there is a massive amount of on board controls. 
 

So as of yet, I’m still playing around with it. Bought it off someone on here, and wasn’t cheap. Sold two MusicMans, a Framus, and loads of pedals, but it was totally worth it. 
 

35” scale QW5 Modulus Quantum. They did two wide spacing ones- 19 and 21.5 mm. This ones the 21.5 mm. So basically their big standard 17mm 6 string neck, but with 5 strings. It’s really wide

It's still here guys . One of you two requires some Fuzz/Phase action at Christmas - you know it makes sense . 

Will this likely be more down to the volume taper of the amp?
