  1. Due in the UK in December, I believe, with an RRP of £1050.
  2. Hi Nick I might go for these. I assume they are the 45/65/85/105/128 set? Cheers Gareth
  3. [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1477678744' post='3163866'] LS-2 Out -> Tuner in [/quote] D'oh, of course!
  4. Thanks chaps, and if I wanted to have a tuner available to both, presumably just put that in front of the LS2?
  5. I sold a Radial Bigshot to Etienne, and as usual he was polite, paid promptly and communicated well. He's 100% reliable and I would happily transact with him again.
  6. Is it possible to run an LS2 with two basses, one bass clean and one with its own effects loop?
  7. Hello Al There is no volume adjustment on Channel B. Have you tried your electric in A, without the piezo switched to 10 MOhm, and the upright in B? Cheers Gareth
  8. How to make a great bass better? Add a Noll preamp. Neck stack is volume on top and midrange below, pull up for passive operation. Bridge stack is passive tone on top with bass below. It's whisper quiet and suits the bass perfectly. Installed by our very own OBBM - thanks Dave! Original passive setup New active setup And the stack knobs
  9. Thanks for that. My understanding is that the screw Dunlop use isn't your run of the mill head, so may not be easy to find a direct alternative. However, it's no big deal really. Cheers Gareth
  10. Hello all I'm sure I've seen extra long screws for Dunlop Straploks somewhere in the past. I think they utilised a hex key rather than a Phillips screwdriver. Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks Gareth
  11. I've dabbled with Octave Mandolin, Bouzouki and Tenor Guitar, as they can all be tuned the same (EADG, high to low). Great fun to play, and the Octave is [i]much[/i] easier to navigate those thick bass player fingers around than the teeny tiny regular mandolin. Tuning is in 5ths, not 4ths, and the chord shapes are totally unlike guitar, but if you're willing to put the time in it's a very rewarding instrument to play. There are a few mid-range makes out there, especially if you consider tenors and bouzoukis as well.
  12. [quote name='JohnDaBass' timestamp='1476300257' post='3153227'] If you plan to upgrade can I have first dibs on the D800?? [/quote]
  13. Damn it, I just bought the D800. If I'd known this was coming.......
  14. Less than a month old [url="http://www.radialeng.com/legacy/bigshotio.php"]Radial Bigshot i/o[/url] Instrument Selector and box. Only used to check all works well, which it does, and to attach the rubber feet. This is a fantastic pedal that allows for switching between two instruments and balancing the volume between them too. It's true bypass and passive too, so no batteries needed. It has a tuner out and a mute too. Currently retailing at £88 posted, I'm firm on £70 posted.
  15. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bump for price drop to £75 posted [/font][/color]
  16. Great amp at a great price.
  17. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1475933950' post='3149893'] There is an internal trim pot for gain. I have messed with it but really just leave it alone as there is plenty of grunt on tap. [/quote] This is correct, but I never felt the need to adjust it, and that was using active and passive basses.
