Sounded awesome![/quote] I think it was a MuTron with a dying battery. I've just got a BBM and I love it. I've had roughly 5 different dirt boxes in the last 12 months, but this is my favourite.

I've got this configuration (volume/blend/tone) on my Blade and I love it. It's great for doing volume swells with one pickup "backed off" slightly - which is practically impossible with two independent volume controls.

What amused me was that in the poll results graph at the top none of the colors (sic) mentioned corresponded to the colour of the bar representing the result. I suppose that's ironic, and would have been missed by TBers on the whole.

I voted upgrade. For me the 'meat and potatoes' of a bass is how the neck feels. If you find one that works for you then keep hold of it. I've got a frankenbass that has the neck from a really dodgy Japcrap bass, but I just love the feel of it. I built the rest of the bass around being able to use that neck.

Oh my, Bilbo, I can see I'll be very busy for the next few months. Thanks SOOOOOO much for this.

seconded - my GFS stuff arrived within the week.

Besides,he sounds pretty much the same whatever gear he's using.[/quote] yeah, I thought he already had one of these. It's the same spec as mine...and then I woke up!

I've tried a few in my time, Boss CE3B, CE2B, Digitech bass chorus, EHX small clone and an EBS unichorus. The Boss CE2 and the EBS were my favourite two, the winner (for me) is the EBS - it's just lovely (and has a small footprint, too) and choc-full of analogue goodness.

Hi TNIT, loads of guitarist that I know swear by GFS stuff. You can get some pretty good deals depending on the exchange rate (not sure if they have UK distribution yet), but they're knocking out all 3 pickups for $90 US. Their website is [url="http://www.guitarfetish.com/"]HERE[/url]. I put some of their overwound AlNiCo P pups on my fretless and they're insanely clear and rich for the money (about $40 at the time). [b] Edit: [/b]they're even cheaper on the bay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GFS-Premium-Overwound-Alnico-Boutique-Strat-Pickups-I18-/380142172737?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item58823d3a41#ht_2563wt_1022"]GFS ON EBAY[/url].

I've nothing against Reason as a piece of software, just the way people scratch the surface with it and assume that they are now a 'producer' because they've 'written' a 4 bar loop.
