    I need some more time to get acquainted with the Pwnzor as I haven't been able to run it through my gig rig. I will be testing it on a gig next weekend though. Initial impressions are positive. It's definitely a different animal to the M87... slower attack speed and has a far more natural feeling response. Definitely a compressor designed to beef up your sound. In comparison I'd say the M87 acts like a limiter. I tried the BB into the B3K and Tall Font. I liked how you can push the Tall Font into another level of fuzz but I preferred the response of the B3K being first in the chain. Running into the BB first muddied things up a touch whereas the running it afterwards adds some warmth to the B3K, some mids and accentuates the high end attack.

    It seemed like the most sensible thing to do. Those Daka-Ware knobs look cool but being all-black against an all-black pedal makes reading settings at a gig impossible.

    I've not tried the Tall Font after either pedals because I like the way the B3K changes the tone of the fuzz and I like how the BB can add some extra midrange to the B3K (I like the high-end attack the B3K has and this gets accented and warmed up by the BB). I'll give it a go at some point but how would you guys describe the B3K and BB running into the Tall Font?

    [quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1364451509' post='2026618'] Ace board dude!!! Compressor always on? [/quote] Depends on the gig. For quieter work (acoustic and folk gigs) I like to use it as an always-on limiter. 90% of the time I use it to boost and smooth out slapping and tapping.

    Bump with price drops!

    Thanks Gaz I tried a few combinations of the signal chain but I find that I like to use the BB much in the same way as I used the W&C Phat Phuk; as a mild dirt to boost everything else in the chain. Adds some mids to the B3K to give it a more old school sound.

    Finished putting this together today: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/CameraZOOM-20130327224817761.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/CameraZOOM-20130327224730943.jpg[/IMG] I'm rather happy with my setup right now

    I'm going to echo Gaz' sentiment and say that this is a great pedal for a GREAT price. I'd snap this up if I didn't already have one on my board. 'ave a bump on me.

    Hi guys, Fortunately I was able to sell some gear locally so I've decided to withdraw this for the time being. With regard to questions: yes, this is a MIM instrument but it certainly seems to be a better instrument that the previous incarnation of the Hoppus sig. Having the D+G side of the pickup closer to the neck does provide a deeper tone with less punch. I'd say it takes a bit of punch out of fingerstyle playing but when you use a pick, the attack is still present due to the high treble of the Seymour Duncan and the tone is a little more complex than a standard P-bass. Thanks for looking and thanks for your interest Cheers, Bob.

    Hi guys, up for sale is my Fender Mark Hoppus P-bass. It has an ash body with a rather tasty transparent surf green finish. This colour I'm the original owner of this bass which I ordered through a local Fender dealer. When it arrived I decided to swap out the hardware for superior parts;[list] [*]I changed the stock bridge for an American bridge to allow top-load stringing should it be required; [*]I swapped the "Mark Hoppus" neckplate for a Fender F-stamp; [*]swapped the lone volume pot for a stacked vol/tone with cloth wiring and an orange drop cap (also swapped out the stock Quarter Pounder for a Lindy Fralin); [*]Put some Schaller strap locks on. [/list] The bass comes with the original hardware if you want the instrument stock, a vintage-style tweed hardcase, a Lindy Fralin pickup (for those of you who prefer a more traditional sound) and a worn-in pack of D'addario Chromes (flatwounds). Pics below: I've given the bass a good look-over and while it is virtually mint there is one small dink on the edge of the fingerboard just past the 3rd fret, bass side: Price includes postage and packing. This is a somewhat reluctant sale but I'm in dire need of cash right now. Consequently, I'm not after trades (sorry guys!) Thanks for looking. Cheers, Bob.

    I for one love mine. It's interesting that you're using a similar rig to me and your observations are also similar (I'm usually using a P-bass variant or Stingray into a Spyder 550 into a pair of Aguilar DB112s). The MT is an amazing little box, an indispensable piece of kit on my board.

    I sold an Ashdown rig to Martin recently. After he showed a lot of interest I held onto the rig until he got the money and when he did, I delivered it in person. Then things became interesting; no one would be at his place as I was passing so he trusted me (practically a stranger) to enter his place, drop the amp off and pick the money up. He was true to his word and I was true to mine. Martin was an absolute pleasure to deal with and seemed like top gentleman from our comms. I'd recommend him

    I just sold Greg my Fender/Warmoth Fenderbird. He arrived at the meeting point about a minute after I did and the transaction went very smoothly. A pleasure to do business with

    If I didn't buy my first Stingray from Higgie this year I'd be tempted by this. I'm determined to own one player that also happens to be a Y.O.B. instrument

    Man, I wish I was a Jazz bass sort of guy, I would take this off your hands right NOW. "You don't need a Jazz, you'll only neglect it for a P, you don't need a Jazz, you'll only neglect it for a P, you don't need a Jazz, you'll....."
