How unusual. It is very deliberate playing, so whether these are covers that neither of us have heard of, or it's his own original work; I don't think it was just random noodling anyway...

Yup, Spectorheads. First run of Warwick Streamers, 300 or so IIRC.

Any particular reason why you would want them straight? I recently owned a Streamer and the previous owner drilled extra holes to have the machines straight, but apparently changed his mind and went angled again.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1395011539' post='2397820'] Some overdrive and fuzz pedals can overload and sound bad with the high output from a Stingray, especially if you like to crank the bass and treble knobs, and many vintage style fuzzes apart from Big Muffs sound terrible with an active buffer before them. The Musket and TFR should be fine but no idea about the others you listed. Gotta say my absolute favourite distortion sound right now is my newly acquired SUB Ray4 through a Boss ODB-3. They sound like they were made for each other, so should be a good match with a HH 'Ray. Also, that pedal can handle a really hot bass signal better than anything else I've encountered. Give one a try if you haven't since they are so cheap to get hold of second hand, I will say though that it sounds best with a cab without a tweeter, and watch the treble control on the pedal, you certainly don't want it past noon! Funnily enough after spending loads on different basses and pedals, it's the cheapest bass into the cheapest pedal that's giving me the biggest grin! [/quote] I love the ODB-3. Funny, it is a pedal that is both overrated and underrated at the same time, if that makes any sense at all...

A 4003w! Didn't even know they were in stock anywhere yet, awesome stuff

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1394979154' post='2397257'] interesting... but I would not choose something that's carried only on one shoulder over something that allows me to carry the bass distributing the weight on both shoulders and gives me complete hands free operation... Hmmm. And that's without getting into the possibility of it sliding off your shoulder, that can get pretty annoying even over a short distance. [/quote] There are a couple of ways of wearing it though if you read the full project/images. True, it will not spread the weight as evenly, but I think it is potentially much more convenient than having the thing stuck on your back, I'v hovered over investing a few times and it is only the shipping cost that has turned me off.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394970168' post='2397150'] It's not A1 I agree, but it is recoverable. Would need cash spending on it though, so... It would depend on how it feels and how it sounds before making a decision about how much to spend, IMO. [/quote] Recoverable (largely due to the sheer thickness of the wood, how much does it weigh!) but why would you want to after spending (at least) £499 buying it??

That woodwork on that body is awful. I mean really awful. The neck looks fine, but that body.... Why he thinks he will get £499 is beyond me :|

This looks interesting [url="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gruvgear/gigblade-a-revolutionary-side-carry-hybrid-guitar"]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gruvgear/gigblade-a-revolutionary-side-carry-hybrid-guitar[/url]

Yes - Roundabout

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1394890445' post='2396338'] Moog MF-101. If you want quacky funk, it does that with the follower even with the dirt at the front. If you want synth swells, plug in an expression pedal & away you go. Has CV & it's based on the LPF from the Minimoog. Downside, it's not small & it won't share a PSU without squealing about it. [/quote] The Downsides are enough to make it a non starter for me unfortunately [quote name='danny-79' timestamp='1394899215' post='2396479'] The only Envelope filter on my board at the min is the "Emma - Discumbobulator" Its quite a mild filter and very usable but can take a lot of the low end off so needs mixing with something else, so I beef if up with the "MXR Chorus Deluxe" the flange setting is interesting an that's a whole different thing though, but the Emma plus some chorus is great sounding [/quote] I wanted an Emma a while ago, not so much what I am after now but had no idea it suffered low end loss?

I'll check the diary but I may be able to make this one. If so, I'll probably bring my Warwick Dolphin, Micromark 801 and a couple of effects.

Agreed with all of the above, I should have mentioned the main intention is to use this with a You're Doom pedal, rather than a muff type fuzz or similar, so I would be running into the filter. The WMD does certainly look interesting, but concerned it may have the same effect on me that the Wonderlove did, just too much going on. Same with the Prometheus.

It does sound good, but using my Cog Knightfall circuit after the B7K can get tones like the vintage if I needed them. Couldn't justify owning both so the B7K is an easy choice for me. Great playing as always, sir. Your You're Doom demo has got me wanting to order a few pedals from 3Leaf

Lovely!

I'm in the market for a new envelope filter pedal. Now, historically, I am extremely fussy when it comes to filters, so fussy that none of my past conquests have completely satisfied me for one reason or another. What is deemed to be a really good, wet, quaky filter at the moment that works well with fuzz pedals for synth tones? Two of the major contenders of the moment, Xerograph Dlx and Wonderlove, did not tick enough boxes for me to justify the investment. Xerograph sounded too sterile for me, despite it working great with other pedals, and the Wonderlove was just too difficult to dial in a good tone that worked on it's own and with others. Possible interests are: 3Lead Proton Subdecay Prometheus DLX MXR Bass Envelope Filter WMD Super Fatman Xotic Robotalk 2 Any thoughts/recommendations? I will primarily be using an active Warwick and its quite important for me to have the option to have some clean bass coming through. Working well with fuzz pedals for synth tones is also a must.

I am LOVING my new little box for quiet practice, will be more than adequate for band practice (albeit with no or a very quiet drummer) as it kicks out a surprising amount of volume!

That looks lovely, however I wish they would have stuck with rosewood/bubinga fretboard, maple doesn't really suit it as well it I don't think!
