Price drop £210 posted U.K. I have an opportunity to pick up the Ultra model locally and I'm really excited to try the cab sim out for my live needs. So that means my AO is up for grabs. I'll get some pictures up later but the unit comes boxed and while there are some superficial marks on the case it all works just fine. For me it's the best sounding of the DG range and the ability to get a wide range of tones make it more versatile than some might expect from DG. Here's a link with more detail than I could remember https://www.darkglass.com/creations/alpha-omega/ This is a long video but there are good examples of how versatile this pedal can sound.

A Fender for me at last, a Dimension Standard V HH
krispn replied to Pinball's topic in Bass Guitars
From yhe demo's I've heard I really like the sound of the passive HB's its odd possibly the magnets but its like the best qualities of modern but vintage tone - a little more crisp but still warm. The proof is in the playing of course. -

I’m sure many DG fans got turned on to trying a comp once the ss came out and maybe more will be drawn to the new features as the ss ceased production due to component shortages or maybe only the fan boi’s will upgrade. Not really that bothered either way frankly 😀 The TC might get more paragraphs and maybe for good reason. It’s cheaper and quite editable and overall good value for money. I think the pedals in the range are still stand alone for what they do and again fan boi’s aside people will gravitate to the model which fulfills their sonic peccadilloes.

It a great idea and I can see it being quite popular. When a company like DG gets behind a ‘mystery’ effect like compression I think many people will ‘back the brand’ and try it. Kinda like “Oh if these guys make it then maybe I do need it? sort of thing.

Phone them- much better than awaiting an email. -
Yeah I'm all ears for this thing - I love what it does and can imagine it being a staple in any Cure tribute band or for anyone playing a baritone. The drive on it does sound great but I'm only going byt the demo's I've heard not first hand experience.

In some interviews Mr Keeley talks about his comps - the one with Juan from Pedals and Effects (I believe the pedals on show were the bassist and bassist pro) and how he wanted it to sound good set ‘all knobs at noon’. This way if you were on a gig and your setting got changed, knocked etc all at noon would get the job done without being too much either way.

Buy a SS used, give it a few months to become ‘collectible’ and then buy two DG pedals with the cash 😛

So this thing is fixed and it sounds massive! The basic eq works - the amount of low end on this thing!! -but that graphic really lets you dial in some specific frequencies. There is something special about an all valve amp. It’s not all in your head or folklore they do just sound great. This Mesa is relatively light in comparison to many valve heads and very easy to move due to the even weight distribution and the head case design. Having heard it before and after the service it’s now sounding like new and I had the pleasure of giving it a solid three hour workout yesterday and it was immense! Bit of valve amp history right here lads. Considering the price per watt it’s a great deal!

@Hellzero No it's fine but thank you. Like I say he's not being 'difficult' I can understand his position in the sense that he doesn't want to loose out but it is what it is.

I'm just after a refund. I'm not expecting PP to do anything and was just after opinion on if I was being reasonable. It's good to know what my legal recourse might be in other eventualities but unless the seller ponies up it's a bit grim.
-
The seller has sold some other items and as a BC'er I had few qualms as it all appeared to be an easy transaction. The guy just doesn't want to be out of pocket and I get that and had it been a smaller sum I may have split the losses but I'm needing the full refund to finish my bass build.
-
Big RedX Thanks for the insight. I waited as the seller was taking reasonable steps to find out what happened and I was willing to give benefit of the doubt. Next time I'll not be using F&F! and I'm guessing the seller wanted to keep his costs to a minimum. The item's were in France and the seller chose the courier - I had no say in who he booked it with. There is a reasonable risk involved in transactions and maybe we all should be more prescriptive when doing the final stage of deciding on couriers we trust etc. I still feel that a full refund is in order.
-
Cheers I'll look into that. When I open the transaction on PP there is not an option to 'report' it the same way as a transaction through a shop for instance. A wiggle transaction I opened has the option to report The seller has been in touch with French Post and they have a depot where stuff ends up but after three months still no sign hende my decision to seek a refund. I need my 4 string up and running again. I miss playing it.
-
I'm in Scotland it was Paypal F&F so I don'tthink I can recoup through there. I'm hoping it gets resolved without the need to go 'formal'.

I bought some pick up from a BC'er. They got lost in the post. Three months later I'm all out of hope for them to show up and I request a refund from the seller. I'm offered a portion of the total cost €250 but paid €370. I can totally understand the predicament but I'm insisting on a full refund. The courier is only offering €23 per kilo compensation. I mentioned that it was a shame adequate insurance wasn't taken out and I get told it's interesting that I ask about insurance now but didn't at the time of purchase... he goes on to say "Considering what happened, I do not see why the refund would be 100% on me". I'd just presumed that the seller would make sure they were covered as the liability is on them (and the courier) until the item is received. I'm insisting on a full refund and while I can empathise with the seller (who had done some calling around to locate the item) I still need to finish my bass - which means buy the pick up new (Lull T Bird pick ups come up on the used market so rarely I was really stoked about this build). I now have to change what I was looking to do with the bass build a little but I was hoping to have this all done in late May/early June! So my point is am I being unreasonable? I've waited three months and given benefit of the doubt but I'm insisting on a full refund. The story goes the post office placed the parcel into the wrong delivery bag so it went with French Post not the courier, Chronopost, and has become lost in the French Postal service. I'm sure that can happen.
