Kev

i'm using elixers at the moment, the same set for 6 months, but i kinda want a zing again so im probably get some good old ernie balls soon

how are these things dated??? and how is a buyer assured that he isnt buying fakes??

good stuff, the most obvious one i think Who needs a new black president when changes like these are happening

its a shame, i like the idea of this thread, but im still seeing overpriced listing threads being made in the forum.....

[quote name='musicman1' post='386314' date='Jan 20 2009, 04:00 PM']ya my settings are bass full, mid full, treble off that is the problem[/quote] yeah itl almost certainly be the bass being full thats the problem Just boost the bass using your amp instead

its the bass eq on the musicman that might be causing it, several effect iv owned in the past have distorted if iv had the bass boosted too much

[quote name='budget bassist' post='386024' date='Jan 20 2009, 01:20 PM']I honestly don't see what the fuss is about with all these fenders. To me a squier vintage modified jazz is a good bass, and paying £800 for a VERY similar passive bass with a simple JJ configuration just doesn't make sense to me when you could have something far far better.[/quote] welcome to the madness that is Vintage world

So i thought, rather than have a million different threads saying 'oo this is too expensive', i though it would be a good idea to have 1 thread were various links could be put in to overpriced items that don't warrant a seperate thread. So il start off with this wonderfull boss metal zone: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boss-MT-2-Metal-Zone-effects-pedal-Brand-New_W0QQitemZ120365925138QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item120365925138&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boss-MT-2-Metal-Zone...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] what planet is this shop on

sorry i misread your post, i thought you were after something subtle [b]and[/b] insane. In that case, the bad monkey is great for adding some grit. The pd-7's modes were a cool idea, but they didnt pull if off for me, just [i]too[/i] clicky, reminded me of fieldy's "tone" :wacko:

try them both out at a music shop, they are both very marmite pedals. Some people hate the odb-3, mainly because they use it wrong (its best at low gain with the highs cut) but i think its great. But if your after 'insane' fuzz, i dont think either are suitable, perhaps consider a muff of some sort?

i just nabbed a boss ls-2 and its a great blender, no tone suck at all in my setup, and more flexible than alot of the more boutique blenders out there

id be tempted to say less, about £450

Anyone used them before to comment? id love to have blue side led's fitted to my status neck

hmm, sounds too complex, i think it would be just much easier making subforums for various categories, that could be decided by the mods or members via a poll.

take my example and go for both best part of a status and the best part of a stingray combined

Why would someone buy someone elses setup?
