Dunlop 105Q being discontinued?

[KeithBMI]

I purchased a Dunlop 105Q wah this afternoon (the white one made for bass) along with an EHX Microsynth (awesome pedal)

Two separate salesmen told me that Dunlop is not making the 105Q anymore. Has anyone heard the same? I couldn't believe it!

well, it's still on the Dunlop site, so i'm assuming you heard bull&*^#

did you buy it at GC? if so, they could have been mistaken (or, you could have misinterpreted).

the 105Q has (long ago) been discontinued by GC... meaning GC will no longer carry it as regular stock. salespeeps sometimes confuse the status code for "discontinued by vendor" with the "discontinued by GC" one.

i hope not, i saving up for one.

but that would mean you *could* order it, seeing as they're giant customers, right?

of course! discontinued by GC just means the product won't be regularly stocked in the stores. i do special orders all the time for people who want gear we used to carry/don't carry at all.

Nope. It was at a local store. Weird eh?

Maybe it is a new model or something? I still don't believe it.

hmmm....this could be an excuse to buy a Morley.

I'd love to see a CAE Bass Wah

If that's the only thing holding you back, you should've bought a Morley years ago.

now....if the Dunlop is REALLY going to be discontinued...how the hell am i going to fit a Morley on my board.......i need to post pics of the board.

I hope it isn't being discontinued. I have been GASing for one for a couple of years, never got round to getting one. I will email Dunlop and find out.

Watch this space!!!!

EDIT:
Email sent (7.05pm, UK time). This can also serve as a test of their customer support speed....



EDIT 2:
Reply received (11.06pm, UK time). They said that they have not discontinued the 105Q, and currently have no plans to do so.

Woot woot!!!

 

[Happynoj]

Bump, just in case anyone cares...

there went my number one excuse...i love how the Dunlop sounds, but owning discontinued gear scares me.

 

[JanusZarate]

there went my number one excuse...Mystic, whatcha got?

Umm...

• Morley wahs sound better
• current Morley wahs have an excellent buffered bypass system
• The old chrome Morley wahs are easily changeable to true bypass if desired
• Morley wahs look cooler
• It's not Dunlop

There's the short list, but I've got plenty more reasons if you need them

Which Morley are you talking about exactly?

 

[KeithBMI]

Good to hear. I just got done playing with a B:assmaster/105Q combination.

 

[Crabby]

I really like my 105Q. Its funky and sounds great with all my basses. I think it has just the right amount of tweakability.

I tweaked the internal trim pot so that it turns off as soon as you let go of the pedal.

The bypass is not bad, and I'm really picky about tone suck.

I have only tried the Morley Pro Series II wah (which I own) and it doesn't really work well for bass.

But I'malways suprised to hear people slam the Dunlop. The older black Dunlop bass wah was god awful but the white one is pretty sweet.

Im glad it not discontinued. I have never owned one, but its one of those pedals that sits on the GAS list, but is a little too far down to ever get a look in. Something always sits above it

I'll get there one day!
