I use the Q-strip in front of the ToneHammer DI. Love it. Best EQ option I've found. I can pull out the mud with the low mid sweep, and still boost a bit of bottom end with the lows. Boosting the Hi mids gives me a little grit too. Just an amazing pedal. I keep the tone shaping pretty...

Yes, there is a small dowel on each side where the blend knob would have been to support the board. The preamp physically looks the same besides that. I imagine the reverse P pickup may play into the difference in bass response I'm hearing as well. It has the same VSP7n pickup as the 734 and...

Hey guys! First post here. Mostly a reader on the forum, but i thought id share my thoughts on the new BBPH. We just got two in at our shop in Canada and they are really great basses. I've owned a BBP34, BB434, and a BB735. The five wasn't for me, the MIJ was a bit heavier than I wanted, but...

Is this still available?
