Cali76 only smaller?

[OhulahanBass]

Thanks!

It's a sadowsky jazz with hum canceling pups. 24 frets.

Perfect! with the same brains and fingers I can expect the similar behavior from my setup...how much for the brains?

The price and size of the big brother was a deterrent for me. But this lil guy seems perfect. Love the top located jacks too!

Ok, so this certainly isn't a demo, but it is a good representation of the sound of the Compact Cali. Straight thumbstyle improv jam to a drum loop. Ratio at about 9:00, input set to react to most dynamics, HPF at noon, no dry blend. This is aldo toward the S/F side of the ratio. I know there isn't a dry sound to compare it to, but if you have used an 1176, you will most likely immediately notice the character.

great sound .... did u use some reverb ?

Has anyone received an order from Vintage King? I ordered a Compact Bass a couple weeks ago and they seem to not know if and when it shipped from Origin Effects.

FWIW: I ordered a Cali76 G-P direct from Origin 9 days ago, payment up front of course. I pinged Origin yesterday, no response yet. A friend who recently ordered a G-P from Origin said that they are a little slow like that, but he did receive the pedal (and loves it).

Two weeks for me...it's supposed to be one more week before shipping...I'm JONESING!

Don't get worried yet. If you ordered direct, then it's coming from the UK and the govt gotta get their hands on it before you do..lol. I've had great customer service/response from Origin, the wait is worth it.

They're normally very responsive. I imagine they've been inundated between orders and inquiries.

I agree. The new Compact line is a big deal, I'm sure Origin is especially busy these days, and I'm confident my order will arrive within a reasonable timeframe.

Patience is a virtue... but I struggle with it when it comes to effects pedals.

I hate playing without a compressor .... i sold my TLC a week ago , at will take a while until my Compact bass will get to my friend in Chicago who will later bring it over to Paris .... I'm playing through Logic Pro X , using the the built in Comp on modern bass present on FET mode .... going crazy !!

 

[Matt Dean]

I don't like playing compless as well. I like my clean tone with some compression. I sold my M87 to finance the Compact Bass purchase... but the wait is almost over.

 

[JBNeedsBeer]

I'm still waiting on Ludlow Guitars getting one in stock so I can A/B with my DE/CL to see which I prefer. I expect the DE/CL to win out, but I am so intrigued by this one and, to a lesser extent, the Darkglass comp.

why are you doing this??????
didn't you see my previous posts ???????

i'm here dying without a compressor waiting for the Cali76 compact bass to ship

and you tease with these 3 great compressors ....

i can leave without OD for a month .... no phaser , 2 months until i start missing it , envelope filter , maybe 3 weeks .... fuzz , i only miss it when i don't have it but never crave for it ..... compressor is like spice on food, can't really see it or tell which one is it .... but without it .... no taste !!!!!!!!

I got the CB because of the HPF. Already using the Thumpinator, (and ordered two FDeck HPFs before I saw the CB), and this saves a pedal on the board. I use the TX-L (the one in the picture is the TX-P, and a spare). The Cali76 is just so quiet and sounds utterly natural.

Like you, compressors are a must for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the HPF in the Cali isn't actually in the signal chain - it's just on the side chain. So unless your only use for the Thumpinator or FDeck is to get your compressor to behave...they don't seem to be rendered useless by the Cali (if you want to actually filter those subsonic frequencies from hitting your amp/cab/di, you'll still need one).
