Just bought this fantastic fuzz pedal. I found a setting I liked and recorded a couple of mean riffs in my DAW. Bass and midi drums only. I let the pedal speak for itself in my mini video review... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ0rdNlghn4[/media]

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1335626689' post='1633931'] Which is the clone, Promethean, HB or Redsub? If these really are the same is Ibanez taking the mick? We might assume there are differences beyond the red face (heh!) but there probably isn't. How can we find out? [/quote] Simples, Matt has already posted pics of his RedSub's innards.... now let's see what a 'methean with it's top off looks like.

Yes, all hail the Gorgonites... oh hang on... doesn't matter.

Is there not a recycling/dumping centre near you?... failing that list it on fleabay as found in an uncle's loft RARE WOOOOOW!!!! etc etc etc

Looks like an Encore neck. I wonder why we can't see the sticker in the full-frontal pic... shopped?

Bought a Mastotron off Alan. It arrived safe and sound, all wrapped to perfection and exactly as described. Plenty of comms and gave me the tracking code without asking. A pleasure to deal with. Cheers mate. Rich.

[quote name='Jorn Overa' timestamp='1335529366' post='1632678'] ...Ou7shined: I'm using standard tuning. The strings are Ernie Balls, gauges 45 65 80 100 130. Is this a regular set? And yeah, maybe a luthier would be a safe bet. ...[/quote] Yeah those are nice strings (Regular Slinkys) ... use them myself occassionally. They aren't overly mahoosive so I'm a little surprised they don't fit the saddles. I don't recall them being overly complient either. You can do a test shim youself with a strip off the side of a Frosties packet to see if that's what will do it but my guess is that it simply needs a set of experienced hands on it to set it right... anyway you need to get the saddles done and he'll set it up right for you after that as part of the sevice.

Ok firstly what I'm seeing is that your bridge saddles need to be opened up slightly in order to accept your chosen string gauge. With these types of bridge as the saddle is brought backwards to intonate it they can sometimes be made to lift off the base plate a little - this can be alleviated somewhat by setting the curvature of the neck and adjusting the action accordingly. I'm presuming you are down tuned yes? The looseness you can sometimes get with down tuning can compound this lifting problem as there is less tension to pull the saddle down hard onto the base plate. I suggest you take your bass to your local luthier (not a just guitar shop if you can help it) and have him/her open up the saddles and set the truss rod and action for you.

Hi Jorn. welcome to Basschat. What type of bass is it... and can you post a close-up picture of you bridge please? [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1335514034' post='1632320']...If you have buzzing at 13th fret or higher then it's generally a raise the saddles type fix. .... [/quote] It also suggests that there may be too much bow to the neck and the truss rod needs tightening.

Stringbust​ers are pretty snappy with their delivery. Get your order in tonight and you should have them Saturday morning.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335465942' post='1631730'] So it's been in his uncles loft?? [/quote] An uncle bass... classic.

At least they are emphasising that it is being sold for spares only .
