Thanks for your replies Turcmic and Goatrope. I will take your advice and post this in the effects forum. And yes I am very interested in the C4! As people who have used it may I ask a question. While I'm sure I'd have fun playing around with it there is one effect I'd need to reproduce, as...

Hi all My Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth recently died, terminally, after years of faithful service. I could simply buy another one but first I'd like to pick this community's brains about any alternative pedals that would do as good, or better, a job. I want to be able to blend the various...

Hi Akami. I'd also like to talk to them but they've ignored both the email and the Facebook message I sent them. What is your line of communication?

Hallelujah! Useful advice, thank you all. I think after reading this and other threads, and also listening to some youtube vids, the evah pirazzi weichs are the one for me. However I am also considering the Spiro Mittel E set up that jazzcat_13 uses, partly for the extra sustain but also...

This could be opening a massive can of worms but here we go :-) I am looking for a new set of strings for my Upright. I do about as much pizz playing as I do arco, so am really looking for something that will tick both boxes. This seems to be quite a rare thing, but after much noodling around...
