If you have exposed pole pieces a really simple tip is to cut some small strips of card, remove the pick up case and lay the card either side of the pole pieces and once you replace the cases it should make the pole pieces sit level or ‘just’ below the casings. Very simple and effective.

So in summary we can say the Quad Cortex is an expensive unit, not dissimilar to other high end processors. Taken in the wider scheme it could potentially be replacing multiple items which collectively would have a similar total value. Plus it’s new and shiny and kids are a financial abyss!

If you have the stems I’ll bash together a mix for fun. 😀

Get’s real upfront!! That drive switch makes the difference but you’ll need to run it at 18v. I gigged a Monique for a couple of years. Wonderful combination!

Said that about a few groupies back in the day!

The IronCore just adds that bit more character which is no bad thing. Have you taken the output from the ‘DI’ out with the high gain engaged into the front of the amp yet? It really comes alive into the amp and pushing a Monique. Oh suits you, Sir!

If only Chase Bliss has more fan bois to jump in and defend the price 🤣🤣

Yeah it is! Same way a Kemper is expensive as is an AxeFX is. DG pedals have always been top end prices. Sure they’re good for many folks and especially the heavier genres and I don’t think I’ve read of many, if any product failures. The latest, newest gear will always have a cost due to its latest chip set, cutting edge this and that and hopefully it’s sound quality. The product looks great as does its integration, innovations and its overall Darkglass ‘sheen’ but you’re not seriously gonna say £1500+ isn’t expensive? I’ve used some DG pedals and they’re good, the AO being my preferred pedal in the range. I’ve tried out some Neural software plug ins and again they’re easy to navigate, well designed but not tones I’d really gravitate to in my gigging environment. And as for price I’m happy to throw a wedge at a piece of gear I really fancy trying out and have done so in the past. Identifying that something is expensive isn’t a criticism as much as it is a statement of fact- DG gear always tends to be spendy!

That price though It’s eye watering!

Nice idea with the pick ups. It looks like Reverse p, normal p and neck

Wonderful integration and the logical step in this type of unit. I’m not in the market but damn it does look pretty well thought out.

There’s a cracking reggae tune I stumbled upon on a comp album and I’ve not been able to find it since It’s got this ascending into part on keys which makes me think of a spider skanking up the keyboard. Anyhow in lieu of that here’s a fine tune form some guys from upstate New York https://youtu.be/QXtjAPJ_fLM

Yup I’ve owned a Combustion and a Super PZ5 was my main gigging bass for about 5 years. The Super P was much more suited to my ear tone wise, not quite as modern.

Alright Bilbo!

Well my build won’t cost upwards of £3000 but yes the switching is Dingwall inspired the similarities however end there 😀

Nice. I was thinking four way rotary bridge, both series, both parallel, neck. All housed on a PJ style three hole plate and maybe move the jack plug a la a PJ!

Just add this to the first post and it’ll save folks a heap of time🙂

That’s Internet forums summed up beautifully! Now wait for the pedant to tell me forum is Latin and the plural..... Ahhh the Internet 🤗

So I’ve decided while many folks are on the abstinence tip for 2020 I’m gonna do a Reverse Double P build. I’m not sure if it sounds like a skateboarding move or a sub-genre of porn but I’ll persevere with an internet search soon just not on the work pc! Im just wondering would it make sense to have a higher out put bridge position p and more traditional output in the classic position a la pj config or two similar matched pick ups in terms of output. I’ve got three pick ups I’m gonna choose from, two more vintage and a higher output one. Two will go into the Double and the third back into my other standard (now a reverse) p. Look forward to your collective insight especially current double p users.
