damn dude, you have new pictures up like every day
and you MIGHT be able to fit that GT6B on the board as well if you reorganized, the way I imagined it was with the GT6B in the top left corner with the loooper beneath it along with the tuner and the fat boost on their sides, the wah stays where it is and so does the bassdrive, then the muff moves over into that top right corner with the FS-5U wherever there is the space
dammit nevermind, I forgot about the POG, and just remembered in the post I'm quoting you say your getting something back
ignore me! lol

What!?
So you're telling me that, if my memory is correct, you've purchased 2 Bass Whammys for a combined price of $400??
How the heck do you get so lucky?! And here I am gonna have to spend 500 or more if I just want one.
*grumble grumble*

that is correct lol
right place, right time?
and im still not sure about this second one, heres what happened..
i was searching google for some local music shops that might have bass whammies (cuz i remember reading a post on some thread that some dude found one for $130 in a local music shop, like 5 blocks or something from my school) so im there searching google and i stumbled upon a craigslist ad in hawaii selling it for $80!! i e-mail the dude saying i'll give you 150+shipping for it, dude replied saying some dude was going to check it out and if he didnt take it, it was mine. dude never showed up so he gave it to me, but he only asked for the 150 as the total cost, he gets back to me on friday saying it was shipped out and then gave me a confirmation number for it. here it is sunday night and the confirmation number still hasnt showed up on the usps website. but he did tell me the teller said it would delivered in 5 or 6 days, so thats just about wed or thursday, and at the latest, friday. im still concerned thoug cuz the confirmation number isnt working, but certain things make me think hes not screwing me over, but still, 150 still does seem like too good of a deal heh
oh and here is how awesome digitech is.... the whammy is missing those side panels, i asked digitech if i could buy them, and they jsut shipped them out to me free of charge, they came in the other day
that is correct lol

Wow I'm surprised they would still have those. That's pretty cool
Also I wouldn't be too worried yet. USPS sometimes is really slow at updating their confirmation numbers. Plus with it being the weekend as well it's less likely.
Wait it out and check monday or tuesday. Coming from Hawaii it might take longer I would think, given it's gotta fly out I would think. Sounds like a steal though
business days? If USPS follows the business days set of rules, then nothing should happen until... around now, but probably not til morning
if you don't get the tracking number working by... tuesday I would be concerned
It's changed yet again
I have a power strip on it now and I decided that I will fire the Fat Boost and put my beloved GT2 back in its place. Thank goodness for GC 30 Day Return policy I really wanted to put the GT6B on it but it will result in a board almost five feet wide (it's 33" as it is! The GT6B is almost 2 feet wide I think). It will also be very heavy

yea, i was gleaming when they said they shipped it out to me
iv shipped a lot of stuff via usps and this is the first time its ever taken this long. and it actuallly takes LESS time for a letter to get to hawaii then it does to tenassee! i shipped payment out for a tremolo same time as the bass whammy and the dude in hawaii got it before the dude in TN lol.
damned usps, this is the first time they ever took this long. i hope it shows up in the morning. still cant imagine why it would take this long thoug.
yea, tuesday would kind of be pushing it heh, but i did mail usps about the situation, and hope they get back to me soon.
check to see that the octave up works fine when u play with the pedal rocked forward. mine has a split second delay where the note gets bent and then the actual note comes out. apparently this is a problem for many of the bass whammies
been playing with it for half an hour, dont have that problem
but i do have another issue...
when i click the select button, aside from the light turning on for the setting im at, another light turns on too and start following the clicks of the select button too, so its as if im selecting 2 settings at a time... i already contacted digitech about it, but would any of you guys know how to fix that?
could be something with the preset but if 2 buttons are on at the same time u might want digitech to have a peek at its insides.
im gonna have to get them to look at mine cos of the pitchbending problem... or get a WH4

well both settings arent being selected at the same time, its just the light thats going on. its not a major problem, but it is annoying heh. and i am not getting a wh-4 again lol unless i have that much money to burn heh.
I would try recalibrateing it beyondhairy. But good job on the whammy! Wish mine was 150$But he peobably sold it to you cheap for this problem you have.
i dont think recalibrating it will fix it, but i'll give that a try in a bit anyway just for the heck of it heh. but for $150, i think i can look past this tiny problem lol
I bought mine 2 days ago NEW for 280 dollars lol. how much do u think i can pull if I sold on ebay? 400 at least?
500, atleast...
you can even start the bidding at 500 and it will sell, i saw one sell a couple weeks ago for like 550 or something...
i sold mine first one for 500 also, it bought me a schecter custom-4 and a line 6 toneport ux2
and where did u get it for 280?
im on vacation in korea right now. i was browsing in some korean webstores and came across the last one they had in stock. Link Removed
I was so shocked i ordered one right there.
looks like i should read the forums more and bought a WH4 instead. but oh well if this auction goes through i will have almost twice of what i started with.
i wonder how having this little glitch will effect the value of the pedal...

dont sell the bass whammy, its so awesome, also has a setting that your going to love that only one other whammy has but it doesnt sound that good on bass heh (the xp-100) the 5th/oct setting, i can guarentee your going to be using that one a lot, its just so practical lol.
and they had a NEW one in stock?
and iv owned 3 whammies, the wh-4, the bass whammy, and the xp-100 and the bass whammy sounds the best to me.
im on aim right now, on the sn "freakysyko911" its my "avoid everybody i want to avoid SN" lol so everybody is blocked whom i dont want to talk with, so give me your SN and i'll IM you
edit: and really, how do u recalobrate? i thought i knew how to but its not working, i also have the manual and i cant find it anywhere
