The physics of bass notes being an octave lower than guitar means they are more difficult to track and I've not yet found a dedicated pitch shift pedal that works really well on bass, particularly moving more than a couple of semitones. And multifx have, in my experience, been significantly less good than dedicated pedals - certainly the ones I've used. As you say, the drop tuning seems to be excellent for guitar! If it gets comparably close on bass, colour me super interested - having singers who have different vocal registers means that this could be ideal for use with my crew! Although £195 is going to be a decent chunk of change to part with.

There's a high-mid/treble bump that you get from a G&L that's quite reminiscent (to my ears, anyway) of the Wal sound with the pick attack setting activated. It's a lower frequency than the characteristic biting MM "thwp" sound (which is at around 8kHz). That rubbery Wal tone you mention is what you get if you run the filters between about 30-60% - if you run them wide open, you get a flatter sound that a G&L can do a decent facsimile of. To me, the main drawback with a G&L with the L-series electronics is that you only have a 3-position pickup switch and not a proper blend control. I do maintain that a G&L is one of the best rock basses out there though. The M-2000/M-2500 basses had a more conventional blend and 3-band EQ setup, and they had a more MM-like sound - the treble boost was higher up the frequency range. The sound, when dialled just a little off centre, favouring the neck pickup slightly, and scooping the mids a little, was one of the biggest rock bass sounds I've ever come across. I used to own an SB-2 and it was one of the best P-style basses I've ever played.

Me too, that's only a few miles from home. Good choice with a decent car park and local shops close by.

I think you are right. I’m such a silly goose…….I have changed the advert. I think they are big singles. -
Small venue tonight so I went DI with one of the 'baby' devices. Struggled all first set until nearly done when I realised the PA on my side had the top turned down. Used it to Bluetooth music to the pa in the interval... then struggled for two songs until I realised it had reset and was on a preset, then I got my sound back. All this combined with gigging flats gor the first time, I couldn't relax and felt awkward. Ironically a bass player in the audisaid I had a really good sound... I just wish I could have heard it better. Conclusion... if I go ampless again, I will need IEMs. But it took me decades to find earplugs I like so... Took me a few minutes to pack away, then 50 minutes helping the others...

Correct. Most Gibson long-scale basses (EB-0L, EB-3L, RD, Victory,Bass IV/V...) are 34.5" scale.

For sale is my EBS BassIQ Envelope Filter pedal. A really great and robust dedicated envelope filter, I've come across a number of use cases live. It's got a ton of features and plenty of scope to create a wide range of sounds with the different mode and filter options. It's the latest release of the model, which includes additional features the previous two did not have. Used as part of a funk band on bass, but the songs were rotated out and I haven't been working with them all too much, so looking to move it along and thin out my board to the bare essentials. Comes with the original box. In excellent condition, with a few minor cosmetic paint chips. Collection from Nottingham preferred, but can look into posting at cost. -
Could be cap or possibly pots - Squier use 500s which are brighter, changing them to 250s sorts things out nicely, maybe Sire do similar?

Here's a pretty unique pedal - a Digitech Luxe. A pretty rare bird these days, as it's been out of production for quite some time, but it's a surprisingly cool and simple pedal. It fills a similar role to a chorus, but instead of doubling a signal and using a waveform to modulate and build that warbling sound, this pedal creates a double of your signal that is detuned to a set amount based on the pedal's settings. You can also blend the second signal in with the first. Worth checking out a video to see if it's your bag. I've found it's best use as both a signal doubler/thickener by pretty much bypassing the detune, or as a more stable chorus with a small detune 10 o clock or 2 o clock on the detune knob. Condition is very good. Some minor paint chips as shown in the picture, but otherwise it is in brilliant shape. No box, unfortunately, that thing went a long time ago! Collection from Nottingham preferred.
