    I didn't think Newfoundfreedom's cousin was that picky.

    I regularly gig (well, used to) with a board full of home-made pedals. My basses are all bitsas, and my rack preamp is a home-made too. This all goes into a shop-bought (shocker) power amp, into a home-made 1x12" cabinet with a tweeter. Dunno what it's cost me over the years, but I'd put money on it being a hell of a lot less than shop-bought stuff!

    Great Rat style distortion, you’ll never be worried about cutting through in a mix again; think of it as a chainsaw for your ears, but in a really good way.

    Caline Americana pedal - 3 months old with Velcro on the back, works perfectly as it’s only been used a handful of times for recording. Up for sale as I’ve just build an Omnicab simulator. Copy of the Tech 21 California Fender amp simulator that works really well on bass and guitar Price includes uk delivery. NOW SOLD

    They look like they need a bloody good wash too.

    I’m not completely finished, but I enjoy making them and modding them, so why not? My filter of choice is the chunk systems agent 00Funk, favoured octaver is a stripped down OC-2, and the jury’s still out on fuzz pedals - I’ve narrowed it down to a shortlist of around five…

    I used to have an SVP-PRO. I wish I still did 😢

    Are you running this on batteries? With Boss (and most other pedals) the jack is a switching jack, whereby the battery is disconnected unless a jack is plugged into the input - could be that the sound is the power being cut. I know it’s not supposed to mute the signal when switched on, but these are buffered bypass, so the there’ll still be power in the bypass circuit.

    When people talk about ‘feel’ it always reminds me of that time that Chuck Berry schooled Keef at rehearsals…

    Might have more luck selling this closer to 5th November... Call me crazy, but I thought one of the advantages of a sloping board is that the PSU can be mounted underneath the pedals, and also shoving all of the cables underneath makes it look altogether tidier and more appealing.

    I don’t think we’re looking at an Ivor Novello here, are we?

    I had one of these as my first 5 string, way back in the early 90s. Loved it, but I kept sliding off the end of the neck; turns out I do NOT do well with headless basses.

    Not in front of a festival crowd though...

    I turned my 2x10 into a 1x12 plus tweeter. Turned out nice again.
  16. paul_5
    yes, to more gigs where the bassist has a 2x15"!

    Is that 200 'Trace' Watts, or are they Charlie Watts?
  18. paul_5
    Not as well as Charlie Watts could though.
  19. paul_5
    Agreed - look at Steely Dan (runs for cover!)

    I wish I hadn't heard how much they cost, which is ironic really.

    That’s only 88 keys, a piano has 3 strings per key… 🤯

    Chuck Norris plays 5 string bass - on a 4 string bass.

    Yeppers - this.

    New pedal day

    I use the zoom ms60b for my chorus sound (among many others) even though I have a hand built analogue chorus (small clone clone) in my stash - there’s very little difference between the two to be honest, and the zoom takes up less space on my board and does more.
