  1. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1476902449' post='3158356'] That made me chuckle! You should try the Vintage Ultra, gets VERY close to B7K flat attack tones. It doesn't get as metallic, but certainly covers a very broad range. I can see its already in the classifieds, it was the only pedal you were keeping 3 days ago alongside a Cog! [/quote] Meh! gas is a fickle old thing :-D i should have said it was based on my use of the older Darkglass models (not tried their more recent ultra's ) and to my ears the Pike definitely has different core tones. I'm sure you probably could get most of it with the new DG peds? Because iv'e cranked it in the Classifeds so quick doesn't mean that its not that good or contradict what i said about it, Imo its still a fantastic quality sounding preamp........................ a realization that my gas to find an extra sound that my Amp really doesnt need is the only problem ;-)
  2. Bump Can't seem to find these anywhere bar the US? Open to trades, preferably a decent Octave but open the anything bass related
  3. I have finally come to the long winded conclusion that i don't think i need a preamp . I have been through the usual suspects over the years...... sansamps,Vt bass's, Darkglass variants and many more! and in complete honesty the Pike XL has trumped them all in sound for me , it is beautiful and open sounding . if you skip past all the Drama associated with this and Darkglass there is a lengthy thred on talkbass (pages 20 onwards talk about how excellent it is) [url="http://www.pikeamp.com/products/vulcan-xl"]http://www.pikeamp.c...ducts/vulcan-xl[/url] A serious pedal that has its own awesome stamp sounds (please don't turn this into a ethical comparison whathaveyou[attachment=230364:20161019_185409.jpg] thred). Recently purchased From Andy [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/292926-pike-vulcan-xl-sold-pike-vulcan-l150-strymon-timeline-l280/page__p__3149961__hl__pike__fromsearch__1#entry3149961"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3149961[/url] After the same as what i paid £200.....now£190 .............£180!!posted to your door. Great condition but no original box.[attachment=230365:20161019_185430.jpg][attachment=230366:20161019_185235.jpg][attachment=230367:20161019_185448.jpg] Happy to Answer any questions and as always open to trade offers
  4. [attachment=230058:20161016_165419.jpg] New addition in the Pike Vulcan , with all the 3 leaf/ darkglass drama aside this pedal is absolutely fantastic. It definitely has a sound of its own (having owned multiple versions of Darkglass pedals) . for those looking for that sound inbetween the b7k and vintage. a space left for a cog octave.............but after seeing sk8's new custom cog im thinking of getting shot of all (but the pike)and getting similar :-)

  6. [quote name='longtimefred' timestamp='1476458765' post='3154547'] cant wait to read a review from gigging conditions and also i'd love a comparison against some of the big old boy SS / Valve amps. Darkglass say this amp is a no compromise amplifier so my fingers are crossed it stacks u well. Not used a class d that even compares to my SVT as of yet so lets see if this comes close. [/quote] Dito, i am getting some major gas for this ......but boy do i love my svt.
  7. Received a malekko trem pedal from Si. Super easy and fast...... excellent chap to deal with,would most certainly trade with again :-)
  8. Ahhh....ain't that cheap then,i was going by the old guitar version of £59
  9. I have a pike Vulcan XL inbound.....yet I still fancy one of these as well :-D bloody gas it ain't healthy
  10. Looks like a nice preamp for someone on a budget,guess around £60 Be interesting to hear demos http://www.palmer-germany.com/mi/en/Products/Pocket-Amp/POCKET-AMP-BASS-Portable-Bass-Preamp-PEPAMPBASS.htm
  11. Ahhh ....my mistake:-D Stonking deal then
  12. I don't think it's the latest? Doesn't have the 'cut' option . Great price though
  13. I'd imagine the power tubes wouldn't be that great at that price point......£150 n whack in some tung sols or similar n you will be laughing. I would actually fancy trying one alongside my SVT to see how close they are?
  14. https://reverb.com/uk/item/2703006-bugera-bvv3000-vintage-style-300w-all-tube-bass-amplifier-head-full-warranty A lot of people have said this is a very good copy ( and sounds the same) of an all tube CL. Worth a punt at that price if anyone's after a cheap all valver
  15. Always open to offers :-) ideally in the preamp area atm
  16. happy to trade (with adjustments from me ) for a vintage deluxe or a b7k bumparoo
  17. good man ,you would only miss it imo ;-)
  18. Bump ,happy to mail pics as having problems uploading.
  19. This aint gone??? nuts , would be excellent for a practice rooms permanent fixture
  20. Only just noticed that this thread has over 1 million views!!! ......thats nut's awsome:-)
  21. This is the 5th VT style pedal I've had over the years ( keep coming back to it as its ace)....good condition in the tin etc. I'm just a wee bit interested in the Darkglass vintage deluxe atm as its one of the Darkglass pedals I haven't tried yet......or a B7k If anyone fancy's a trade? with cash adjustment from me. i'll Probably regret it :-D [url="http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/tech_21_sansamp_character_series_vt_bass_di.asp?gclid=COP-gdT2m88CFQw6Gwods5kNYw"]http://www.richtonem...CFQw6Gwods5kNYw[/url] Pics up later
