Roger Waters can have an (dis)honourable mention in this thread, as he's ruining himself without any external influence.

Polyester box caps and a Ruby tube - they've not skimped on components, I hope the power supply/regulator is up to snuff though.

Sage advice.

I actually quite like this. The bonus of this is that, should you decide that you really can't live with the 'bite', there's enough wood left over to cut it off and still make a more aesthetically pleasing shape at the end.

I'd argue that this one was already ruined before removing a letter.

It seems the ability to afford a Wishbass is no indication of the ability to actually play the fücker!

Overdrive is a weird one. I find the more I use, the less of it I blend in. A 'light touch' (moss is just starting to form on the cusp of each freshly formed note) means I'll probably use a 100% wet sound, but settings that have a bit more dirt (fungal spores now airborne/wire-haired terrier) right up to just plain nasty (Lemmy having a shave with an angle grinder) are usually about 50/50.

Me too. I don't need one, couldn't find a use for one, and probably (almost certainly) can't afford one - I wouldn't say no though.

If 6 was 9 - JMH

Also, check your cables, input and output sockets on pedals, power supply to pedals - check everything from the bass onwards in your signal chain. P.S. the EQ section on that amp is a Fender style tone stack, I seem to recall that the mids are 'cut only' - meaning when the mid knob is up at full, then you're not boosting any frequencies, merely not removing any. I think 'flat' was Bass at 10 o'clock, Mids on full, and treble at 10 o'clock.

Save me - Queen

Tortex .88mm for me, great for guitar and bass.

Seriously though, this thread puts me in mind of a (perhaps apophrycal) story of great cellist Pablo Casals who continued to practice daily at age 80(or even 90), and when he was asked why he was so diligent he replied "I'm starting to see some improvement."

End of the tax year ideally, saves on accountancy fees.

I’ve got a preference for EHX when it comes to modulation (their small stone and blond are my faves), but don’t really use a flanger, so can’t really comment. I’ve had the TC thunderstorm though, and found that it was really flexible, just not the sound I had in my head - turns out that was a phaser.

Metallic

One of the (few) benefits of having to gig sat down is that my board is right in front of me, and I act as a sort of warning cone for my 'trip hazard'.

I would have, purely for THAT Jackson 5 line, but my covid brain wouldn’t let me remember him!

Is it too soon for "Bo-Jovi"?
