  1. Can't wait for this. I tried listening to 'Clean Your Clock' again this morning, but haven't been able to get through it; makes me sad to hear his voice on this album as it sounds feeble and a shadow of its former self.

    Ampeg SVX plug in?

    Give this one a try - http://www.pluginboutique.com/products/2266
  3. Freebie GK amp sim here: http://www.pluginboutique.com/products/2266 Not a bad sounding little plug in.
  4. My eyes!! My beautiful eyes!!!!!
  5. Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk will do that, as will an EHX Bass micro synth if you set it right.
  6. My home made clone of a Dark Arts Revelation Super Bass. Currently it's had the amount of gain reduced, but it's a 2 minute job to change it back to stock. [attachment=249280:IMG_0406.JPG] Really transparent overdrive that'll go from mild grind to stupidly filthy. Some demos of the real thing (at $149 plus import taxes) [url="https://youtu.be/AqBxMXwc77c"]https://youtu.be/AqBxMXwc77c[/url] Price includes P&P
  7. Wha? Getting to play with a drummer who does what you ask and whose tempo doesn't fluctuate massively from minute to minute? How does that work? 😉
  8. I made an exact OD1 clone last year. I think it cost me about a tenner...
  9. I agree with Dood. I've played festivals/outdoor marquee gigs where the sound engineer (who's also in charge of the generators) wanted to know the power rating of our amps so that he could work out how many generators he'd need. I've also played outdoor gigs where there hasn't been this attention to detail and forward planning. Guess which ones the generators tripped out for?

    DIY Effects

    Might try finishing off my Phase 90 clone before rehearsal tonight. I NEED a phase on the bass for 2 bars of one song; I can already hear it in my head but not out of my speakers yet.
  11. I had great results from a Chord OC-50, but I think they're discontinued now. The EHX Octave Multiplexer is pretty good too.
  12. Yup. I really don't like the look of Les Paul (style) basses - they just don't do it for me, but that is one good looking chunk of wood. Well done Dudgeman.
  13. Look anything like this? [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Green%20T_zpsomcszmwf.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Green%20T_zpsomcszmwf.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  14. Sunburst Blade B15 that I sold to a chap on here a few years ago when I was made redundant. 'twas lovely.
  15. [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1499244644' post='3330185'] All wired up to a tidy harness on the back to save fumbling around in the dark on stage. [/quote] But that's the best bit!

    SWR

    I ran an SM400 for a few years. Really clean amp and a really [i]really[/i] flexible EQ section. The built-in mid scoop sucked a lot of the power out of it so I modded it to be more of a linear response. It sounded great into a Hartke Hydrive 4x10 and then a Barefaced Compact.
  17. [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1498637450' post='3325972'] Give me anything from OK Computer onwards; the first couple of albums I really can take or leave! [/quote] This, although I haven't really made friends with 'King Of Limbs' yet.
  18. I ran a DHA for yeas and loved it. Mine was used primarily to add some dirt to an uber clean SWR head and it was also my home rehearsal tool. They run perfectly well at 9v; I just used a polarity inverter from my pedal board power supply as mine was centre positive. The DI was really clean too and I'd recommend one in a heartbeat.
  19. Congratulations! Wishing you many happy years of low end rumblings and inappropriate humour.
  20. It's not complicated, but the tricky part is finding a dual gang pot with a centre-detent, so that you'll feel when the balance control is at 50/50. Blade used t make their basses like this and it made a lot of sense. If you use a series/parallel switch it will alter the sound of the bass, but in series mode you won't be able to alter the blend of the pickups - they're on equal output all of the time. Better call Ki0gon
  21. Got a free Behringer BDI21 from a very kind BCer to fix up and give to one of my students. Alright, [i]I[/i] didn't get a freebie, but you know what I mean; there are some very lovely people on Basschat.
  22. Best fuzz on the market, glwts.
  23. Any sort of DI'ed guitar is going to sound dreadful, it's a scientific fact. I use the Brainworx Megasingle in protools as my 'amp' so that I can do it when the kids are in bed. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/bx_megasingle.html Makes it sound an awful lot better.
  24. I've met a couple of BCers and in all honesty there's only been one utter twat; that was me 😉. Seriously though, BCers are amongst the nicest people I've met, well done to us!
