  1. Just realised the anti scammer pic didn’t show my details and date.
  2. Have the PV’64’s in one jazz decided to try out a 70’s wind in my back up. I was so impressed with the PV range these Fender’s were a no brainer. Much more forward in the mids and really cracking for a more rock oriented bass tones. Using the same settings on my gear and sitting here A/B’ing there’s more drive in the mids compared to the ‘64’s. Great clean tones too and the tone control does have an impact on the overall feel in a positive way. Takes a bit of the grunt off! I’m wanting a more balanced tone between my two basses so have decided to swap these out as a mid gig change means having to tweak settings and I’m lazy! If you dig the Geddy, 70’s thing and want a more aggressive mid focused tone these are as good as anything out there. Comes with box and instructions and I used these with a solderless loom so super clean wires and period correct brass type bases which are unused. . Price includes uk postage.
  3. EHX has just updated the new ‘lost muff’ circuit JHS uncovered into their BassBig Muff range. https://www.ehx.com/products/bass-big-muff-pi-2/ Some decent muff tones!
  4. PM’d Out of interest… does anyone know would these fit a JMJ?
  5. They do heaps of colour options and lifetime warranty

  7. Shovels for hands 🤣 They’re wee tubes
  8. @Quatschmacher Yup confirmed and I have a spare!
  9. From memory it’s got a quartet of Mullard M8100 valves plus I have a spare (I think). I’ll have a look for the spare later to show what they look like but can do a kinda gut shot.
  10. If I hadn’t just bought the API comp I’d have had the UT&T.
  11. Oops I forgot the time/date anti-scammer pic!
  12. Skip to 18:05 for audio (which is followed by the Noble… Then skip to 21:30 for isolated sounds.
  13. I hope the mystery box is a cheap £21 temp purchase. I liked the Bassrig as it has none of the low mid weight of some of the others but something a little more pleasing high end which might just become more prominent in a mix.
  14. Decided that I’m gonna mix things up with the rig this year. I normally change things up every few years. I have a Jule Simone I tentatively listed last year as I was tempted by an Anagram but realised I have very basic gigging needs. With some great preamps now available I’m up for a change! Simone Spec: Jule is a bit vague in describing his gear so I don’t have eq points etc. I do believe the eq is baxandall inspired (think broad, wide and gentle Q giving a lovely ‘global’ feel to the eq and no frequency poking out of the mix - musical would be the best description). These are boost/cut with about 10db per band either direction. The EQ is tube driven Line out is a master output and this thing has tons of output and can drive a power amp (+19dB) Sense control. 4dB gain shift in the lows and some describe it like an input sensitivity making the unit come a bit more alive in the feel. Playing with a pick and turning up the Sens add to the overall attack Boost foot switch is similar to the ‘pull control’ on the original Monique preamp and I think it boosts the sensitivity and is a fixed amount of boost. Drive adds 2dB-20db gain not dirt (also tube driven). In conjunction with the Sens control adds ‘more’ but it Is not an overdrive flubby tube sound. It adds clarity weight. All vague but listen to the demo below it is a very fair representation of the tone. Dedicated DI volume control - tube driven custom Cinemag transformer The Velcro is from when I would attach my DG Element for on the run, minimal kit IEM gigs and they paired wonderfully together. The best demo and one of the few demo’s can be seen below: he audio demos the features better than I can describe them! Recoded delivery available UK only! Pictures to follow when I get back home.
  15. Sounds good.
  16. What’s happening with the mantle 🫢
  17. Yup agree gigged one for a few years and always flawless.
  18. Sweet really interested in hearing some thoughts after hands on experience. It does sound like the things I enjoy in a preamp.
  19. I do but your profile says you’re in California and I’m not willing to ship internationally sorry. Unless it’s California, Falkirk 🙂
  20. I know exactly what you mean. There’s a way of designing a tube based preamp in conjunction with transformers which just sits right, sounds right and feels right to play. For many of us a compressor adds to that but at its fundamental core tone there’s a magic from transformers which is more present, deeply analogue and has a saturation and fatness which is very different to tubes. I’ve checked out the United D.I. on you tube and it’s a solid unit. We really should meet up and chat tone some day 🙂 The BR15 does a lovely thing but it’s not everyone’s ideal sound. It’s a classic sound but quite specific. I respect your choice and applaud it!
  21. Many years ago I bought a Read Purity preamp and it sounded amazing. It’s not the tube sound people might think it has a clean more hi-fi type sound and I eventually gravitated to transformer based colouration. This for me is where it’s at. I still like tubes but transformer based colouration is what I’ve grown to appreciate.
  22. Are they the Geezer EMG’s ?
