The Hematoma is almost invisible without that ugly purple knob on there.
It's great waking up and having something waiting at your door for you. 
From the brief time I've spent with it here's what I've learned. Now bear with me, all I have to compare it to is my Bass-Drive. I'm not going to do a real review because there are plenty of those floating around here. First, it's REAL dark and warm. It's noisier than my Bass-Drive (which is silent). The preamp seems to add punch, so I think I'm going to leave that on most of the time. It's smoother than my Bass-Drive but I like chop and grit. 
We'll see which I keep.

I just saw this little icon. So I thought I'd try it.

Now I need a Pitchblack, original Crybaby, MXR M-132 Super Comp and a TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger to be all blacked out.
EDIT: With flash. Haha.

I'm lame because I still don't have a picture but I'm still running:
Wilson 12 pos. Bass Q Wah -> Analogman Beano Boost Bass -> Z. Vex Box of Rock -> Analogman Mini Chorus (Deep Mod) -> MXR Carbon Copy
This all fits on a pedaltrain jr. in an aesthetically pleasing manner without pedals all turned on their sides and cables flying all over the place.
The Box of Rock is almost always on, I use it for overdrive, but it also thickens and improves my tone in a way that I like. The Beano Boost kicks the Box of Rock from a solid chunky overdrive to a sweet creamy lead machine. The other pedals on the board add different colors when I want them. The delay is for a warm psychedelic delay that I like to use in some jam sections. The chorus adds depth and dimension when called for and the wah is always good for some funky stuff as well as screaming leads. I'm really happy with this board and I don't see myself changing it anytime soon, though I am waiting on a DHA VT2 Dual Standard Bass, which I hope will give me enough so it's all I'll have to take to a gig if I'm feeling lazy.

I take it that the space in the upper left corner is for the SMMw/H? The board looks great.....Bet it sounds awesome.
damn tayste thats starting to look really good.
nice and clean and everything
I still think you're crazy though
edit: ha, you don't have the power lines hooked up yet do you?

really nice board you got there tayste! i wish i could bring such board like you have at work, i mean the size. but here in thailand, bass players are pretty much just plug and play. so with my board at 22 X 15, i've been getting some comments that i should be a guitar player! and to think what i have now is just the basics, a wah, filter, od, fuzz, chorus, reverb/delay, tuner, compressor, a preamp and wireless. i might down size my board to 18 X 15, sometime soon.
This week's
Wow TaySte, very nice. I'm with Rusty, throw the SMMw/H up there in the corner and finish it off. What a beauty.
Red - Sudecay Fembot prototype (Frequency Modulator)
