  1. Necro-thread bump (kinda).

    I've been thinking of upgrading from my Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe, and the SGT-DI and Darkglass Infinity were in the running, with the SGT in the lead purely on cost.

    I did have a thought though, which occurred to me when reading the SGT manual.  With the Ampeg brand now owned by Yamaha who also own Line 6, is the SGT-DI just repackaged Line 6 technology using HX modelling?  With that in mind, would I be better off purchasing a used HX Stomp as a more versatile device?  I know the SGT has an thru output in addition to the preamp out but the HX Stomp can also be configured to provide some of that functionality with the send block.

  2. Bought a Johnny Shredfreak PSU from Ian. All arrived well packaged and intact. Paypal caused me grief and accidentally paid Ian twice, but he sorted it quickly with no issues whatsoever. Thanks mate.

    Bod.

  3. I bought this a few weeks ago, and I'm only selling because I've now bought the keyboard version which contains all the features of this and more.

    It's a great little piece of kit. It automatically configures and maps onscreen dials and sliders to the physical touch sensitive knobs. I've been using it for controlling Reason and Reaper and it does the job nicely.

    It's boxed with USB cable and receipt for warranty purposes. It's in perfect condition!

    £50 delivered. If anyone wishes to collect, I'm in Leicester.

  4. [quote name='krazy_olie' post='1358462' date='Sep 1 2011, 09:34 AM']On stadium arcadium the vinyl had a different master and sounded much much nicer and more open/spacious. I'm actually thinking of buying an record player because there are now a number of new albums which sound better on vinyl.[/quote]

    That makes sense. The physical restrictions of vinyl mean that they can't get away with it as easily. For example, excessive bass could cause the needle to jump out of the groove, so they have to master it accordingly.

  5. I've listened to it a few times and I'm reserving judgement on the songs so far. It took me a while to get into Stadium Arcadium.

    HOWEVER, the mastering is atrocious. Just like Californication it's overly compressed and distorted throughout. Why spend so much money producing an album only to ruin it during the mastering process. sigh.

    Yep can vouch for this, and the VMJ I bought from Tom also arrived incredibly quickly. Paid for on Sunday evening, arrived Tuesday afternoon - couldn't ask for more.

    Loving it BTW Tom - thank you very much...

  7. I just made my first basschat purchase from Tom - a lovely Squier VMJ. Great to deal with and the item arrived incredibly well packed and he even threw in a gig bag with it. Great stuff!

    Thanks Tom!

    Bod.
