That's ok, it will be worth the wait. I will spend more than $550 as well. bassman8416 Intermediate Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 194 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 5:30 am:    Asking the universe to make an SF-2 available. enzo Senior Member Username: enzo Post Number: 505 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 9:09 am:    Here's one but it's a new one (open box), you might not like the price but if you know what it is and know how to use its potential, why not? http://www.ebay.com/itm/221832231338?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT bassman8416 Intermediate Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 195 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 10:12 am:    Yeah, it looks to be worth the extra $250-$400!!!! bassman8416 Intermediate Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 196 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 2:28 pm:    Just got this .....$400 for an SF-2....amazing!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/281755247751 enzo Senior Member Username: enzo Post Number: 506 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 3:05 pm:    Now that's a freaking good deal! hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1544 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - 10:46 pm:    That's awesome!

I'm not really into rack stuff, I just plug in the bass and turn on the amp. That's why I never looked into these or the other thing...f1x (maybe that's what it's called), what do these things do? Are they the same thing, or different? Better? Worse? I'm not trying to hijack Craig's thread I'm just wondering. And good luck with getting one, Craig. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1545 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2015 - 2:30 pm:    It's kind of like the filter in an Alembic bass, except there's two of them, they can be run separately or together, and they can be run as either low-pass (like on standard Alembics), high-pass or band-pass, so lots of tone sculpting possibilities! One advantage is that you can use it with any bass/instrument, so it's kind of like an outboard preamp as opposed to one built into the instrument. I have used mine a lot to improve the sound when I have recorded my bass, like in this thread.
