I have owned dozens of envelope filters and sold them all. From EBS to Mutron. The one I kept happened to be the original BEF. Let it go when I got the Spectrum but wish I had kept it. Never thought I'd seriously consider a digital envelope filter yet the BEF made a believer out of me...

Its 2024 and this thread is still useful. Hard to find first hand experiences regarding these basses but I know if someone in the U. S owned one of these basses there would be some discussion here. Thanks.

They asked you to send it to them. More than once.

A Series 10. Black P/J connfiguration. Got it in the early 90s. My first bass. Paid $30 & a pack oof Marlboros for it. Guy got the smokes and almost took off without the cash. I think he got the better end of the deal. Horrible bass. Went from that to a Peavey T-40 which I let go for almost...

I have had an HD75 for years now and I kinda love it. Thought I would sell it when I bought my Orange but I didnt. I can get the cops to show up with it and I'm not exactly living in the city. More than enough amp for the house. Was gonna get a head and cab but they would just be pushing...

I bought a couple Planet Waves American Stage cables a while back and love em. I have a bunch of other cables of various brands lying around but the planet waves always work. I've had to do minor repairs on most the other brands. The Pig Hogs had some poppers,too. For what its worth,I have an...

You slip the ends of the wires you wish to onnect into the ends and use a heat gun to solder/shrink wrap the wires all at once. Its handy,although soldering two wires together is the easiest...

The PDF file in my previous post is a manual for anyone getting started on soldering. Its a skill you can only really learn by doing it yourself but the PDF I attatched in the earlier post is a good book for beginners. I also have other books in PDF format related to repair and lutherie in general.

Browsing through old threads and had to read this one. When I still had a Facebook account I was in a lot of bass related groups. This subject was always being discussed and there were many that claimed they could hear the difference in woods. One day I made a few sound clips of different basses...

Here ya go

I am also a bedroom bassist. I have multiple DAWs (which I rarely use for practice) A Darkglass Element A Beat Buddy pedal Orange Crush 50 Hartke HD75 I can plug headphones into each one of these pieces of gear. The Element uses IRs. Beatbuddy can be used with or without an amp. The combos...

I have an HD75 in my bedroom along with an Orange Crush 50. When I want the neighbors to feel the groove I plug into the Hartke

I wasnt really after a particular color. My 5 is red. I havent seen a 4 in that color. The orange ones are nice. Really just want one in good shape. Like I said, I tend to buy other basses and just spent my bass money on a j bass. I cant control myself

Been after an NS2000/4 but I run accross the really nice ones right after buying other basses. Looked at an NS Pulse and would rather have an ns2000/4.
