    The Saffire 6 USB has Hi-Z instrument inputs as well (the inputs on the box are multi purpose suitable for both 1/4 inch jacks and XLR). So you can plug your bass straight in if you so desire. But in answer to one of your questions, you should be able to go straight from DI output on your MAG 300 into the XLR input no problem also. This site often gets recommended on here, and I've found it really useful as a beginner to home recording [url="http://www.recordingbass.co.uk/"]http://www.recordingbass.co.uk/[/url]

    Fuzz!

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1328018845' post='1520354'] A company called Fredric effects does a Russian Muff clone for £85. I use one of their harmonic percolators on guitar and love it so might be worth a punt. [/quote] I can vouch for these. Picked one up a month ago after a recommendation on here. I'd been searching for ages for the right fuzz and so far I'm loving it. I think they're based on the 'tall font green russian' muff. Either way, it sounds awesome.

    I'll have the case man if it's still available. PM incoming.

    Sold my Stingray to Adam. Perfect transaction. No problems whatsoever. Buy from/Sell to with confidence.

    The time has come for me to part with my beloved Stingray. I've owned this from new in 2005, after wanting a Stingray since I first took up the bass, but since then I've decided that I'm a P-bass man, and this has never really got the use it deserves. It's a 3EQ model with maple neck. The colour is apparently known as 'Rolls Burgandy', which I believe is no longer available. The bass is in immaculate condition (as you can hopefully see from the pics) having only ever been used in the studio on a handful of occasions, and never gigged. Some extremely light buckle rash (literally two marks so light i couldn't even get the camera to pick them up - barely visable to the human eye) and a tiny nick in the headstock (which again is so hard to spot, it's not visable on camera). The bass has just been professionally set up, and plays like a dream. Looking for £800, collection only in the Manchester area, or may be able to meet up somewhere in the North West region within reason. Pics below (apologies for reflections - my photography skills aren't up to much

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1319317976' post='1412752'] I got a Fredric effects harmonic percoalator off ebay for about £50 and I've seen the big muff clones on there too. Sellers name is 'timhulio' and I think he's the guy that makes them as he always has Fredric effects stuff for sale although no muffs at the moment. I've heard bits of McLusky but never got into them massively. Saw them live at Reading many years ago although didn't appreciate them as much as I should have at the time. Edit - you've reminded me of a gap in my music collection and the 3 disc version of McLuskyism is downloading from Amazon as we speak. [/quote] Enjoy. Some great stuff on there. First time I heard 'random celebrity insult generator' I creased up with laughter. I'll keep my eye on that ebay store. How have you found the harmonic percolator on bass?

    [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1319316123' post='1412739'] Looks like a green Big Muff, Boss Octaver and a TU-2 in this shot.

Been trying to find a pic of his gear for ages.

    Yeah 'Lapsed Catholics' is great. When I saw them live, he used a P-bass through an Ashdown ABM head but I didn't get a gander at his pedals. Apparently the new bassist is using a fredric effects green russian muff live so I might have to see if I can get my hands on one of those. All I want is a bass tone that sounds like it wan't to kill everyone in the local vicinity. Check out their previous band Mclusky too if you haven't already. Highly recommended.

    [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy42BOqhUy0[/media] I vaguely remember reading something about the bassist using a russian muff somewhere. Does that sound about right? Any other recommendations that will get me in the same sonic ball park? Thanks for any help.

    Bought a MM Stingray SUB from Marcus. Great, hassle free transaction. The bass was flawless and exactly as described. Thanks again, Ant

    [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1316517623' post='1378995'] What I did find was that if you used an OK and a Bass Big Muff at the same time, it was amazing, and kept the bass end there still. [/quote] I'll have to give that a try. thanks man.
  16. Ruiner
    Hey Wooks, How does the OK sound on bass? Does it suck out much low end?

    [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='1366820' date='Sep 8 2011, 07:07 PM']Get a 5 string - that's the point. G.[/quote] Never got on with 5 strings in the past. Would seem to be the most practical solution in the long term. Any recommendations? Ideally it'd be a jazz body but with p-bass pickups, but I could always get that sorted later. Need a tight, well defined b string. Are the MIM 5 string Jazzes any cop?

    [quote name='charic' post='1366704' date='Sep 8 2011, 05:28 PM']You can get custom strings from newtone. I play in cgcf and they just made me a set of 110 - 50/50 strings that just have a tension made to suit. I'm sure they could do the same for any tuning :-)[/quote] Thanks for the advice. I'll look into this too

    [quote name='Len_derby' post='1366717' date='Sep 8 2011, 05:37 PM']+1 It'll improve your knowledge of fingerboard/note positions no end. Plus you won't be a hostage to the whims of an alternate tuning maniac.[/quote] To be honest, this thought has crossed my mind. I've always resisted downtuning in the past when guitarists have used drop d, preferring to work out alternative ways of playing parts, but in this band, i don't think it's going to cut it as a lot of the riffs rely on the impact from the lower notes I won't rule it out though. I'll definitely try and work out some alternate standard tuning parts over the next few days to try next time we rehearse.

    So I've recently joined a new band, having happily played in standard tuning for the past 8 years. The trouble is, guitarist of said band, likes to write songs in 8000 different tunings and likes to carry 6 guitars to even the smallest gigs in order to facilitate this. Now, I think I can accommodate most if not all of the set with three basses. One tuned DADG another tuned completely down half a step (dropping the low string a further full step to c# for some songs) and a third tuned B F# C# F# The only trouble with this is I hate having strings that flap around all over the place. Is there some kind of technical way of working out what gauge strings I would need to use for each tuning in order to maintain the same string tension as I'm used to (I usually use EB hybrid slinkys - which i believe are 45, 65, 85, 105)? Also any general advice from seasoned downtuners warmly welcomed. Thanks in advance
