Just received a PT Nano from Nick, a pleasure to deal with!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1334686031' post='1619801'] Both mine have beautiful fat, full and sweet clean tones, no distortion needed (a little USA valvey warmth doesn't do any harm though) [/quote] Amen to that! My old 70's 4001 was (at the time) a dream bass for me to own - truth be told I hated the thing so much soon after getting it, it didn't matter what I tried (strings/setup/EQ adjustments) it just sounded horribly clanky and seemed like it was only capable of one sound!? I just had to get rid of it - it took a while for me "to get over it" but 10 or so years later I thought I'd try a 4003 as I was gassing for one for ages, I love the 4003 - completely different to the earlier bass I had - really warm and fat sounding but can still reproduce the typical clanky Ric sound if needed. It's a much better all rounder than my 4001 ever was.

[quote name='sprocket123' timestamp='1334615425' post='1618761'] some Rics had not much sustain [/quote] Not in my experience.

I was really surprised when I bought my 4003 (around December last year), I was expecting it to sound quite "clanky", rather like the late 70's 4001 I had for a while a few years ago, which sounded typically like that - in fact that was the main reason I got rid of it - although it was quite trebly, I found it was getting lost in the mix when playing live (I was using a TE AH350SMX and 2 4X10 cabs). The 4003 sounds absolutely HUGE - I was amazed how much bottom end it has whilst still retaining some nice mids/highs - I'd previously been using my Geddy Lee Jazz and had to roll a substantial amount of lows off the EQ on my Markbass F1. I have to say the 4003 definitely has no trouble with the live mix in my current band - I'm really hooked by it! Horses for Courses and all that...

Just received a Catalinbread SFT from John - exactly as described and arrived surprisingly quickly given the Easter holidays! Excellent, stress free transaction - a real pleasure to deal with!

I'm in the orange camp too - goes with my tour bus!

Hi Liam, Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you're gonna be busy! Enjoy! Pete

I did a service and repairs on a friends car just before he was taking it on holiday (around about £350 worth of work IIRC), he asked if he could pay me at the end of the month as he was skint - as he was a mate I said yeah, no problem. Fast forward 12 months and lots of me asking for the money (he was always skint apparently), I decided to pay him a visit to "collect my debt" - he was still skint so I said I'd take goods to the value of....he pleaded not to take the TV & Video and offered me a Black Vox, some leads and a Peavey TNT150! I said he could have it back when he paid me my money - the bass spent another 12 months in it's case under the bed! Never got my money from him (not sure where he is now?). I then decided to have a bash at learning to play it and haven't looked back since.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1333999322' post='1609477'] Got myself a TAFM today [/quote] I'd be keen to hear what you think of it when you've had a chance to play with it - have been quite keen on one of these for my board!

Hey Shep, Yeah I e-mailed them on Tuesday (via a "contact us" link from their website) asking for confirmation of the order - I haven't received a response to that either Just a bit concerning after shelling out the dough and no communication on their part - having searched google I can't find any other contact details for them and they don't appear on Toronto's list of businesses either (ok, i'm not surprised by that as I think they're fairly low key). I'm hoping they may be away for the Easter holidays - even so I'd have expected an automated response to the order? I checked today and funds have been taken from my bank account. Edited spelling!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1333650141' post='1604900'] Can`t remember his name, but the singer from Magnum. Used to do this really rubbish "hand-dancing" thing. [/quote] +1 to that! IIRC I saw them at a Monsters of Rock festival once - either that or they were on the bill at another venue? I'd forgotten about that thing he did!

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone out there in Basschat land has had direct dealings with Wounded Paw Effects? I ordered a Blender V3 pedal from them on Sunday (1st April and paid with Paypal), I would have expected an e-mail confirming the order/what status it's at and anticipated dispatch date - as yet I've received no communication from them at all? Having paid my $245.00 do you think I'm over-reacting by thinking the worst - I've logged into my account and it just states "processing"? In fairness to them it does state on the website the item may take 1-2 weeks for delivery - I guess I'm just a bit concerned I've heard nothing from them. So hence the question, has anyone out there had dealings with them? How long did it take for the goods to arrive? Did they communicate well? Etc Etc... I guess if things turn pearshaped and could contact Paypal and take it up with them? Cheers in anticipation for your feedback/comments. Pete

Eddie bought a LMB-3 from me, totally hassle free and would do business again! Cheers Edster!

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1333452384' post='1601791'] I've forgotten my bass before now. The worst one was probably the time I forgot we even had a gig - my mobile rang just as our food arrived... [/quote] I recall a Saturday evening when I was led on the sofa watching World Cup football when I got a phone call from my drummer - we were supposed to be gigging and I'd completely forgotten about it! Had to haul ass to get there on time! Another gig (not me this time), we'd driven to the venue (about 85 miles away from home) and the drummer sheepishly admitted he'd left his snare at home! Thankfully, one of the bar staff played and agreed to loan him his.

Just received a Darkglass B3K from Jose, very easy transaction and a pleasure to do business with, arrived quickly too! Cheers again Jose! Pete

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1333440463' post='1601583'] Shep uses gigrig stuff which is the best 1 stop shop for power supply needs and is made very well. [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/diago-powerstation.html"]http://www.diago.co....werstation.html[/url] Diago proves that the voodoo stuff is vastly overpriced what it is and does. 3000mA is a lot of pedals. At the same time diago actual pedal boards are expensive, compared to pedal trains. If you want an easy solution and only have standard 9v pedals to power then you are set to go with a powerstation. [/quote] I can fully understand the need for Shep to choose the Gigrig set up - with his EPIC set-up it's needed. But for the average pedalboard I see no reason for anything else but a Diago - perhaps as Janmaat eluded to earlier in the thread - everyone says Diago - probably because they're the best all rounder and reasonably priced. I agree, their boards do seem expensive for what they are? I'd sooner stick with the Pedaltrain.

[quote name='janmaat' timestamp='1333437024' post='1601532'] Can someone hint me out what justifies these huge price differences, and if they make any sense? [/quote] In a word - no! Before I bought the Diago I'd seriously considered a T-Rex Fuel Tank (and previous to that the Voodoo Labs range), however I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on a power supply!? Having looked at all options - I'd even considered the Gigrig generator and Gigrig distributors (which do make for a nice tidy set-up and also give an element of supply headroom and allow for future growth), I decided to speak to James at Diago to discuss whether he thought the PS-01 would cope with what I wanted to achieve - he agreed it would and at around half the price of the other options it seemed a total no-brainer to me. The PS-01 I have is velcro'd to the underside of my Pedaltrain 2, out of site and not taking up any of the valuable space on top, the supply cable runs have been cable tied around the board in mini looms - it's a tidy and reliable set-up IMO.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1333390618' post='1601084'] I once dated a Redhead. Lovely. [/quote] LMAO - I dated a redhead once or twice, and jolly nice she was too, Gymnast as I recall. Forgotten about that...just off for a shower!

FWIW I think the Diago Powerstation is excellent quality/value for money - I was getting a fair bit of hum etc from the previous power supply but the Diago is whisper quiet and currently powering 14 pedals without any worries.
