Does ‘playing the first song of a live set with amp in standby’ count? Guilty as charged.

Instrument level straight out of your pedals won’t be enough to feed a power amp input - you’ll need some sort of preamp to amplify the signal to line level.

Just saying…

The big muff has got pineapple on it; you either love the tone stack, or hate it!

Volume on “1” 😄 them’s Trace watts!

I’ve got one for sale…. my favourite thing about the DHA VT1 EQ Is that there’s a ‘sagginess*’ to how it responds - a lot like a tube amp does; this weighs significantly less though!! *can’t think of another way to describe it, soz.

Why, don’t they have lifts?

My brother (a guitarist who dabbles with the bass) bought a set and really likes them.

Yeppers, the SYB5 is years old, and the tracking isn't great - certainly not by today's standards. One thing that massively bugged me about the SYB-5 was that while it did the 'press to hold' function (really useful) it had a sweeping filter on the drone note, which I didn't want. I found the only way to get rid of that swooshing was to use a Behringer BSY600!

And how about including half of this banger:

Then of course there's this belter from Sepultura from their excellent 'Roots' album.

I used an on/on/on switch for mine - front coil, both, then bridge - only needs a single volume and tone then.

What I really like about her stuff (apart from the amazing chops) is that she genuinely looks like she loves playing the bass.

this - they are slightly bigger, but the old saying "buy cheap, buy twice" applies here.

If you don't want to solder to the body of the plug (effectively the body of the plug is a heatsink, so the heat dissipates along to body, meaning that you have to heat for longer to get the solder to flow, often damaging the cable) then I'd look to see if a TRS jack (or stereo) is available - solder the ground wire to the Ring, and the hot to the tip. Some production pedals use a TRS jack to turn the battery on and off, o it's worth looking inside of them and checking with a continuity meter to see if this is the case.]
