I wish I had spare cash for this baby - must check lottery ticket!

I'm afraid I had a much less positive experience with samuel over the purchase of a Linden EQ pedal. Similar to Beer of the Bass and paulbkeeves I regret to say. Delays, lack of communications, promised posting dates missed. The timeline as follows: [b]21 May[/b] - Enquiry 22 May - Sorting out details and price etc 23 May - Payment made - to this point good 2-way PMs 25 May - PMed to check that payment had been received 26 May - Confirmed receipt of payment, promised that the item would go in the post on Monday 28 May 31 May - Nothing received. PMed for an update/info on the posting 03 June - No response (although samuel had been on the site inbetween times). Sent further PM. Alerted Mods. as concerned about previous 'form' [b]08 June[/b] - Still nothing (samuel had been on the site at least twice inbetween). When I logged on I noticed he was online so sent a PM asking why I had had no responses and for an update. He responded back to say it had been posted. I asked for details e.g. tracking number. He said he would send it to me when he got home. Got home tonight to find it on the mat, posted 06 June. I don't actually mind if stuff doesn't happen instantly but I like to be informed that there is a delay and when I can reasonably expect to receive the goods. It takes 10 seconds for a quick PM. [b]Overall I'd say 5/10 [/b] [b]Good points:[/b] Pedal as described, decent price. [b]Bad points:[/b] Once cash paid comms dried up. Not posted until 10 days after it was promised. Ultimately it's up to you, fellow BCers, to decide whether to deal with samuel. From my point of view if he has a 1960 stack knobbed Jazz bass in mint condition with sales receipt for sale at £10 I will pass - Actually I probably wouldn't. But I probably will for other pedals and the like. There is no point in a feedback thread if it only lists glowing reports and I've tried to be objective here. I'll keep the PM trail for future reference.

It's definitely beginning to take a very bass-like shape now. [attachment=109831:Body and neck 070612.jpg]

Have you had a look on the Warwick forum? You may find somebody here that could help. [url="http://forum.warwick.de/forum.php"]http://forum.warwick.de/forum.php[/url] In fact now that I think about it I'm sure that I saw Warwick represented on here as a manufacturer; maybe worth a PM?

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1338576730' post='1676778'] Interesting, I've got the same bass as you and I tend to favour the treble being boosted to help cut through and get a bit of string noise in there. The 5khz boost also helps with that a lot. Mind you, it could be down to the amp as to how much you need to boost what on the bass. I played through a 1987 Laney Linebacker and I didn't need as much high end boost as I do with my Ashdown 220 Touring. [/quote] Each to his/her own I suppose maybe it's also to do with the style of music in the band I play with, just needs a little bit more bottom end I feel. Fretless sale just fell through too (not a person from on here I don't think), so marginally hacked off as I had just sold the Audere pre I was using which was rather groovy. On the up side I've acquired an ACG EQ02 on a Jazz plate to slot in to get used to whilst waiting for my ACG bass to be built.

+1 to the above. I am enjoying the lighter gauge strings on my fretless. They're TI JF344s iirc.

I generally run my amp EQ pretty flat and then for the Overwater I use a little bit of bass boost with the p/up sweep biassed towards the neck p/up. My new ACG will have the ACG EQ03 5K system which I'm really looking forward to playing with.

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1338447970' post='1674594'] Another Classic Rock victim here. Waiting is the hardest part. [/quote] +1 Does it look like the Rickenbacker is making a comeback or is that just for the vid I wonder?

Just sold Phil an ODB-3 pedal. Excellent comms, quick payment, very easy transaction. Thanks again Phil.

For the 50% of us who enjoy Rush here's a link to a track from the forthcoming CD. Check the bass on this, how does he do that and sing simulataneously [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFGrWjOX0E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFGrWjOX0E[/url]

Lee has just acquired my Audere pre amp. Very easy to deal with, good comms, easy exchange overall top banana. Would be more than happy to recommend him to y'all.

First pics of bits of wood to be formed into a bass shaped object... Butternut body [attachment=108325:Bass body core 160412.jpg] Walnut top [attachment=108326:Bass top 180512.jpg]

Just acquired an Aguilar TLC from Mick. Great to deal with, very smooth transaction and plenty of messages etc. Item exactly as described. Highly recommended.

Just sold my Hartke Bass Attack to Jon. Excellent comms throughout, quick payment. Seems to be a very dependable person. Enjoy the pedal, I hope it does the job for you.

Brilliant work, thanks very much to all the techies who understand this stuff. It's a black art to me although I can do RPN on on old style HP calculator! p.s. I'm liking the CTRL F5 thing, must try to remember that one.
