The VT bass is built to emulate an SVT... A big Muff is a distortion/fuzz box... The 2 pedals are designed to do different things... I wouldn't expect the VT Bass to be purchased to use strictly as a fuzz. Nor would you buy a Big Muff to be an SVT emulation rig... Did you buy the...

My preference would be for floating thumb as opposed to the plant on pickup style, especially if you're just starting out, or already have or plan on going to a 5. My wrist never liked the angle, I like the wrist straight. It seems like that almost dictates my finger attack. You can definitely...

Why not start by constructing a kit from say Warmoth? Get one of the unfinished bodies, route it for pickups, stain the body, etc. Maybe even contour the body to your liking... should give you an idea if you like the hobby w/o diving in to deep to start. If you like it, take a wood working...

I think as long as Carvin is (currently) willing to go thru the amp, cover shipping, and send it back 3-day, there's no reason not to send it back. Unless you need it for an upcoming gig, you should probably get it back within 10 days total (dunno where you live, and if they're shipping it back...

Same here, not charged and hasn't shipped... Bart (Carvin CS) wasn't 100% truthful lol. I'd prefer them just tell me straight, and not give phony timeframes! :scowl: EDIT: Called and they said they're shipping them out as fast as they can build them. I do believe that is the case. So far I'm...

Called Carvin today (Tues) talked with Bart, and he told me mine was going out today as well! Ordered mine on 2/23 so I'm fine with the timeframe. Excited, but I'll believe it when I get my tracking # :bassist:

It's like this (imo) from what I remember from the song: Finger at 4 (pluck note), slide to 6, slide back to 4, back to 6, back to 4. You do this quickly, probably less than 2-3 secs total for the entire 4/6\4/6\4 passage.

One of the first things I'm going to do is change out the tube when I get it. I will report back any findings. It has made a dramatic difference vs stock tubes in other tube pre hybrid amps I've had, but I'm not certain this amp uses the tube as a pre in the same way I'm accustomed to, since it...

Tribby L2000s are great, I wouldn't ever get rid of mine, I love it and always get compliments on the tone. Nobody would believe what I paid for it new. Got it as a best offer on eBay. It's also a "premium" model which has a figured neck. Unfortunately, I think you're gonna need to come down...

Throw.In.The.Towel. Crap :spit: It's obvious they're totally out of ideas, attempting to rehash old quality works, and it's not happening. It sounds cheesy. Especially the vocals. There is nothing metal about James or Lars anymore. Seriously, please stop. Save some face while it's...

Now it's late Sept and $625. Vaporware..... ?

I think they sound great. I see you already ordered, but look at the Scratch n' Dent page. I'm super happy with my S&D, and it came with the Line-X coating for the price of the regular shipped. I wouldn't have known how great the Line-X really is unless I'd gotten the S&D. Also, DHL was...

jes Seems only sensible
