    Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

    There is none control-wise. It just sounds better to me.

    Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

    I work with scenes on the footswitches of the Anagram and use bindings to activate certain effects on the DG midi footswitch. One of those is one step downtuning with the Whammy, not the pitch shifter - this way tuning down a hole step is always just one click, no matter which scene I'm on or...

    ESP LTD B-1004 MS any thoughts?

    Had that on my last stage axe with active EMG DC35s running them without EQ. Didn't like the configuration, happy to have a balance poti again. I wouldn't mind a tone poti in passive mode but don't really miss it Until now. And actually at least for now I'm really happy to own an axe which I...

    I will use it my main axe from now on. It's heavier than my current stage bass but the sound... Tried it in the context of my band, live and some quick recording during rehearsal and its amazing. I have more punch and definition and cut through the mix better while at the same time the overall...

    Have to take that back. That was my fault. I set the neck to straight in my initial setup with my strings of choice. After giving the neck a bit more relief and lowering the action at the bridge in return the intonation is fine. Love the bass so far. Will take it to the stage this weekend and...

    The top looks a little lighter in reality than on the photo but I'm happy with that. Some first impressions: Overall build quality - nothing to complain. Beefy Pickups - I already prefer passive. The preamp is decent but the bass "speaks" to me in passive mode. The blend offers a variety of...

    I ordered the Dingwall Stainless Steels with the bass. Since it's NOS I don't think the strings are fresh and I heard good things about those. And finally I'll have a MS to try them. Can't wait and will report, maybe after the "honeymoon phase"

    I got it for €1200,- as NOS with full warranty and everything. If it holds up to my expectations I consider that to be a good deal here in Germany.

    Btw tried the Fishmans in a different bass. Had high expectations and was highly disappointed.

    Neck seems to be a flat U with the nut between J and P. Neck feel is important to me. Don't really fancy baseball bats... can you comment on that?

    I'm seriously considering buying a Multiscale 4-string bass and came across the one mentioned in the title. I like the pickups (Nordstrand Big Split), the passive option, the hardware, the woods, and the look. I'm not familiar with the electronics, and my experience with ESP basses is limited...

    Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

    I have come to appreciate the Swirl 900 block more and more. The EQ fits my needs, the gain adds the right amount of hair if needed and the aura shaper provides the little extra to the sound. I keep getting back to it as my amp block...
