[quote name='Cygnus x-1' post='750095' date='Feb 18 2010, 07:15 PM']I wanna try this amp, why very little information in the music media and on the net, nobody seems to be advertising it as 'in sock'. This seems a perfect combo for me but it's as rare as hen's teeth, anybody know why?[/quote]As per my previous post, we have the Promethean in stock. It's a fantastic bit of kit and really well-priced too. It's not in every store because there has only been one shipment into the UK so far and we were lucky enough to secure stock from that shipment.

The Zoom B2 is a multi-effects unit. The RC2 is a dedicated looper. They are not at all similar products and neither can do what the other one can. If you're looking at loopers, there aren't too many out there. If you ignore the Zvex Lo-Fi looper which is a bit different, then the Boss is the smallest dedicated looper you'll find. Digitech are launching a similar single stompbox unit but we have no date yet for when it will get to market.

You could also look at delay/loopers, of which the Akai Headrush it one. Although the Headrush is a nice, simple unit, none of the delay/loopers will allow you to store multiple loops like you can with the dedicated loopers and their recording memory will be limited, normally to 30 seconds or less. Other delay/loopers are the Boss DD-7 and DD-20, Hardwire Delay/Looper and the Electro Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai.

For dedicated looping also look at the Digitech Jamman and Line 6 JM4. But these are bigger and more expensive units than the RC-2.

If you're close to us (Northwood, North West London) then pop in for a demo.

We don't have any pricing information as of yet on the Phase 45. Yes, it's a limited run as they only have the parts for a certain volume. However, despite that, it should be around for a year at the very least. Unless they've massively misjudged demand!

Thanks for that Dude! Good to meet you and you're welcome back any time. Freddy - good to hear you've had a positive experience too!

We have all the new MXR pedals on order so they'll be with us as soon as they start shipping. We'll set them up on our Dunlop demo board once they arrive if anyone's close to the shop and wants to try them out.

There are many options available to you and you don't necessarily have to spend a fortune. Feel free to give us a call to discuss should you wish.

We have the IDBB5 in stock. One of our team has a GB Bass with a 37" scale and that fits fine so I'd be very surprised if your bass didn't fit. We can't post prices here, but call or e-mail if you're still looking for one as these are now a deleted line.

We're open 09:30 to 17:00 Monday to Friday and, starting from March, 10:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays. See you on Monday!

Yes, the Weeping Demon is very good. Also take at look at the Morley Bass Wahs.

Most of the options have already been mentioned. In terms of clean boosts, you could consider:

EHX LPB-1
Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster
MXR Micro Amp
Modtone Clean Boost

Other options that have also been mentioned which would work are:

EHX Signal Pad
Boss LS-2

The LS-2 may make the most sense for what you're trying to achieve. Of the clean boosts, the Modtone is probably the least coloured.

We look forward to meeting you!

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes. Munk - we take your point, however effect pedals are not exclusive to guitarists! Bass players can have a lot of fun with them too!

The Jamman is still in production. Two new Jamman models have been announced at Namm - a high end stereo looper and a simpler compact model - and both these will run alongside the existing Jamman.

The Line 6 JM4 and the Boss RC20XL also have mic inputs.

We have these in stock. It works fine on bass. It's not the last word in phasers, but it is a very versatile pedal enabling sounds approaching ring modulation in addition to standard phasing.

The Subdecay Noisebox is definitely one to try out. I'd also suggest looking at ring modulation. Another one that may not be obvious as a noisemaker is the Ibanez Airplane Flanger - you can get police sirens, laser guns and general mayhem out of it as well as more traditional flanging and chorus sounds.

[quote name='Sean' post='711707' date='Jan 13 2010, 06:31 PM']Has anyone got one of these yet? Anyone used one in anger?[/quote]Sean,

We have the full Promethean range in stock and think they're fabulous. If you're local, pop in for a demo.

A big 'hello' to the Basschat community. We look forward to participating in these forums with you and answering questions where we can. We have two bass players on the staff, including myself, the owner. I won't write too much here as I'll leave that for the affiliates forum so please do check there periodically.
