Kev

i have an original akai power supply if you wanna complete the collectable package if your interested, pop us a pm but yeah, any 9v dc with at least 150ma would work no problems

how could i forget this one, Gold hardware, cheap, chavvy and taccy looking, no no no

heres a couple more iv thought of and picked up from reading the thread: Passive basses, just dull, i dont get them, its just like an active bass, but with no or very limited tonal control, why? Wooden necks, since i got my status neck fitted to my stingray, i have wondered why anyone uses wooden necks? they change shape with temperature, they wear down easier, they are less stable, they are heavier, and imo the tone has nothing on a good carbon neck...graphite rules.

Fender basses, mainly the USA made ones, anyone that buys them purely is doing so for the made in USA sticker, quality and sound wise beaten by pretty much every bass i can think of in that price bracket. Anything by Ashdown, every effect, amp or cab iv tried by ashdown have dissapointed me, just for me such a bland tone any bass over £1500, IMO that kinda of money just cant be justified, no matter what the bass sounds like or how it plays, just for rich kids who like to say they have an expensive bass Tonefactor pedals or whatever they are called now, every one iv tried or owned, not being too many admitidly, have underwhelmed me, nice pedals, but nothing special, and IMO dont deserve the hype they get on this board Pedaltrain pedalboard, >£150 for a piece of metal to put pedals onto?? i made a wooden board, raised at rear so cables n that could be hidden, cost me £2.50. 'nuff said. no doubt il be adding a fair bit to this list, alot of stuff i see on this site i think meh about

[quote name='johnnylager' post='273481' date='Aug 31 2008, 07:31 AM'] Snob! SansAmp or Hyperdrive?[/quote] haha! i have two pedals, a boss and a zoom, i am one of the least snobby effects people in this forum!! behringer do great effects, but their overdrive effect is just sh*te, which is what i was reffering to

from the sounds samples iv heard, id rather have a black muff tbh, but iv never tried it i may have a bash at recording some samples of the odb-3 to show how good a pedal it is tomorrow, although my laptops sound card cant handle distortion so this could pose a problem

[quote name='bassman2790' post='273389' date='Aug 30 2008, 10:58 PM']Are you saying that I need to overdrive a valve amp to get [u]that[/u] sound then? My Laney B1 has valve and FET preamp stages that can be used in exclusion or blended. The valve section has a DRIVE and a GAIN control. Increasing the drive does introduce distortion but, by my ears, it's not a very pleasant distortion[/quote] i think what i mean is, for that tone, itd have to be a passive p bass running into a generic bass overdrive/distortion, its nothing special, but i think you wouldnt get the tone unless you had a precision pickup. i could be wrong, it is a VERY short little section

[quote name='kevbass' post='273379' date='Aug 30 2008, 10:13 PM']Go for an Ibanez pd7 bass overdrive pedal, you can dial in distortion or overdrive without dumping the bass out of your sound as is a problem with the Boss overdrive ODB3 pedal. Plugging it into a guitar metal zone pedal you'll also lose the bass so Ibanez is your best bet.[/quote] are you kidding me??? iv owned both, at the same time, and the bottom end of the odb-3 is just far better and more defined than the pd7, which sounds like a behringer in comparison imo. how can you say that it 'dumps the bass out of your sound' when it has a wet/dry blend AND a low eq boost?! the pd7 definatly wasnt for me, i found the distortion to be too high middy, which i hate, but of course one man's carragher is another man's ferdinand...

just sounds like a regular overdriven P sound

big muff and odb-3? i like you

in the order you said them, but you can interchange the hyperdrive and the wah depending on what sound your after, they produce very different sounds, both are awesome for different things. As an eq and amp model, id always have the zoom last, just makes sense, and plus you can headphone jam and use the drum machine and stuff without the other effects getting in the way

upload the sample as an attachment on this forum using the attachements function, let basschat host it

what? it didn't sell? shocking....

indeed it is

soo close to having a desired bass..... currently in envy of outoplayjazz's 5 string S2 with maple/graphite neck, stunning

[quote name='steve-soar' post='271388' date='Aug 27 2008, 10:38 PM']What do you think is a fair price then?[/quote] for me, a tenner, but somebody who needs it for a spare speaker they have or sumit, i guess around 40 or 50. its just a bit of cheap wood with an ashdown logo on it.

that red passion in 5 string would be dangorous for my health...

you've not butchered your red sub??

[quote name='dangerboy' post='271843' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:24 PM']Or buy my Copilot android with built-in expression pedal jack.[/quote] very, very tempting

[quote name='kevbass' post='271874' date='Aug 28 2008, 04:19 PM']It is a nice player admitedly, but Im just bitter over the fact I was blatantly lied to in this auction, its not a sterling pickup, theres no third dummy coil, its just a standard olp bass. Not wanting to start sounding paranoid here, but Im wondering , because it took him several days after auction until he shipped it, if the guy was unhappy with the low amount it sold for and took the sterling pup out and banged the old one back in. Anyways watch this space for any news[/quote] that could be exactly what he did, very interesting, keep up updated!
