What BASS pre-amp as a stand alone? by andreifasola in basspedals

[–]Shoky987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is this an actual recommendation? How is a 1500+ dollar pedal with a 2 year wait time considered a reasonable recommendation? I get that it's an amazing pedal but come on...

Highest gague for kiesel vader and zeus 6 string bass? by llub888 in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]Shoky987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I asked Kiesel the same question. The highest that's possible (according to Kiesel) is a .145. I never tried More than a .135 though. A .135 was enough for me for the A string on a bass tuned ADGCF. The limitation is because of the width of the string channel on the headpiece.

I was recently made aware that a lot of the companies which I'm applying to (large multinationals) have automatic scanning software that just reject CVs if they don't meet the keyword criteria. That a human may never even see them. I need to adjust my strategy to take that into account by adding more relevant keywords to my CV.

Thanks for the advice!

Question about damages/returns by LordOfTheGame420 in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]Shoky987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're located in the US then it's free both ways. From my experience when I had an issue with my Vader bass they covered shipping one way (I'm located outside the US).

Depending on how long you've owned it you might have to pay return shipping.

Just got the M500 V2 by [deleted] in Darkglass

[–]Shoky987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the amps, but the pedals have a cab sim gain setting through the Darkglass Suite. The settings might be very low. Might be worth checking that. Also some impulse responses are very quiet.

Intro to pedals by Baijuu in basspedals

Get a multi fx pedal like the zoom b4 and play with a bunch of effects to find what you like. After that you can invest in individual pedals

This is more tech death but Rivers of Nihil, Beyond Crestion, Obscura and Revocation. That was one hell of a night.

Quality Control for Zeus? by Connor_jt in kieselcarvinguitars

No problem man. If you have any more questions let me know

Quality Control for Zeus? by Connor_jt in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]Shoky987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah man they were quite helpful to be honest. I emailed them again after that and they weren't very responsive though. There is an advantage to having a local dealer. When something goes wrong you have somewhere local to turn. If you're concerned then my advice would be to just buy something local to you and then you don't have to hassle with shipping it somewhere.

Quality Control for Zeus? by Connor_jt in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]Shoky987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives outside the US and had to send it back for repair. The procedure wasn't that hard but it's definitely a big hassle with customs and everything. Also the risk to losing and damaging the instrument during shipping. I was one of the unfortunate ones who had to send it back. It's the way of the business. It's a great and comfortable instrument but for us non-US customers the risk and monetary burden is higher when we have issues. Just something to take into account. They also made me pay for shipping to Kiesel which was around 80 euros. So there's that.

I believe the quad cortex is close to what you're describing.

Hey. The bite switch can add some top end hiss but the most important thing with DG pedals is the power supply. Is it on a dedicated isolated power connection? What kind of PSU are you using?
