xgsjx Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've just noticed on the Bass Centre's website they have em. [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/[/url] £258 is a slightly better price for the synth.

RayFW Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Peter Murray (MB's Marketing Bod) posted this over on TalkBS on 2nd April: "All of the pedals are going into production this month (April) except the Octaver and Super Synth, which will both come later in the year. Cheers from Frankfurt! Peter" So it looks like there could be a wait for the Synth and Octaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 A Markbass rep posted on Talkbass today and said the synth was still being tweaked and refined, so don't expect to see it for a while yet. He didn't mention any of the other pedals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamapirate Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I want that synth, though!! ahhh, cmon, cmon, cmon.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayer88 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Any news here? Thread gone a bit dead! Does anyone know what the spec on the super synth is gonna be like? How many oscillators etc etc Any screen shots of the editor on the PC? The info on the markbass website indicates this!!! "The smooth, deep sounds include wavetable, analog, and FM-style synth bass" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I cannot stand the ashdown pedals. Because these are a rip of their design (why!!!), it actually really puts me off even considering one, stupid as it is Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to put them in that sort of enclosure?

I've gotta admit i'm not mad keen about the design of the box either but is it really a big issue? Don't judge a book by its cover! Unfortunately all we have to go off with this book is the cover at the mo. Grrr when am i gonna get to read a review/hear clips/read manual!!!

Its very easy to imply that it is the best bass synth pedal ever, but will it actually deliver? Definitly need to try one out. IME listening to sound samples don't really give you an accurate indication of what a synth pedal can do. I was very much looking forward to the chunk synth, but after hearing the sound samples i was very dissapointed, but apparantly its a very good synth.

The reason I dont think its very good is cos its limited to one oscillator like all the predecessors (G5, Deep Impact etc etc). Fingers crossed the markbass will deliver. Surely some of the other pedals in the range have actually hit the shelves by now? If we get an idea of the quality of those versus well known makes we can begin to predict if the super synth will live up to expectations. Anybody?

Wud Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Its a bit mean to blame retailers like GAK for the lack of availabilty of these pedals. Manufacturers and distributors often give retailers false E.T.A's on release dates in order to get the retailer to advertise it early, so as to build a buzz about the product. Typical cynical marketing BS. Obviously the retailer will happily take deposits on pre orders, but they have absolutely no control over the manufacturers shiping schedules. I must admit, I'm not too interested in these pedals, except for the synth one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember opening up a box to find they had been ordered a month ago! And it's meant to be next day delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayer88 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Any news, anyone? Begining to loose faith that they'll ever hit the shelves......
