Is the neck already polyestered? e.g. on the back? Oil won't get you anywhere with that and speed. To get a fast neck, wet and dry it with say, 1200 grit. As for fingerboards, rosewood isn't finished. Maple generally is... unless you are with the Musicman crowd and like your necks getting grubby.

So given the history of the original company... its good to see yet another J bass coming to market... :-/ http://www.rockinn.co.jp/goodfellow-londonderry.html

Perfect. Buy with confidence. You cant go wrong. Inexpensive, quality and great protection. Thanks for the heads up. My only comment is that the inside material seems a bit thinner compared to what I would expect but to fair, the at risk points (e.g. at the point of the machine heads) there is thicker material. It's £23. I've seen worse gig bags at £80.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1358950820' post='1947492'] To me it read as if they've "adopted" the same manufacturing techniques/standards to improve quality (in the form of robustness) and reliability. [/quote] This is the point. When people think Midas, I would wager that they think audio excellence, not manufacturing excellence (although that is a given with Midas anyway).

Excellent to see Joe on here. The sales figures are impressive - but it's easy to see why when you audition the desk. The only desk for the money that comes close is the Presonus - but to be honest, the feature set of the X32 simply blows the Presonus back out of the water. Presonus really needed a 32 channel desk that would support firewire recording. It's still not here. It may not ever come. Even if it does, it's too late, the train has left the station. I would be very concerned if I was Presonus - I know from the activity on their forum that they have been "cleansing" the forum of any glowing references to the X32. Speaks volumes by itself. It's interesting to see the X32 compared against the LS9, it's impressive that they are mentioned in the same breath as I would have thought the GLD80 would be the LS9s main competitor. To have the X32 snapping at the LS9 must be making Behringer very happy. Very happy indeed. That's both the semi-pro and pro market in their radar. Even A&H should be concerned about the X32 and how it stacks against their GLD80 - they really need to get their iPad app out very quickly I think! I wonder if Joe could be more specific about the Midas involvement? I know that Midas are effectively owned by Behringer now - but spouting the Midas name without clarification as to what their involvement is, to me at least, name dropping without substance. What does manufacturing to Midas standards actually mean?... because at the end of the day, we're talking PCBs here. As you can appreciate, for example, using a Midas pre (as found in their desks) would be a big selling point... but that is different to say a Midas designed pre. What does that really mean? Is that a Midas pre designed to be the most cost effective as opposed to being the best sounding? Is that using components that aren't necessarily the best but are used to keep the price down to keep the X32 attractive to buyers?

He he!

Spitfires!

Rumour updates!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1358769560' post='1944567'] This may seem like an odd question but how do the faders feel on it? I hate light faders on mixers, the nicest "feeling" desk I've had the pleasure to use was a mackie onyx (1640 I think) [/quote] They feel as you would expect from a motorised fader desk at this price point - they are OK but in no means the best.

I got the Sony unit imported - it really stomps on the other digital systems and the body pack is a proper metal unit. Great stuff.

The big question is... What are you looking for and what budget? Wired or wireless... And as for the in ears... it really is down to budget...

Dont get me wrong, there are products by every manufacturer that could be sometimes described as a bit iffy but this x32 really is sublime. I was very very impressed.

Added to bag! Just hoping my Yamaha fits in it!

They do their fair share of tatt too.

Ideal.

Expensive... But cheaper than the competition.

This is certainly one to discuss on Pie Night Pete!

Alembic and Alembic And I know that they aren't exactly main stream but 9 times out of 10, a GB will be seen with EBS.

Encore and Gorilla

Hofner and Vox.

Defo.

Ooh. Looking forward to this one

It is as you say, an awesome desk. Not using it myself although did look at it when considering my next desk.
