Kev

after listenin to the live earth performance again, its fairly obvious why he has two

he has one for a very mild overdrive, which he uses in the verse for so much i (how i didnt notice this before il never know)

the other is used for heavu overdrive, sucha as around the world, and the improvisation in by the way at live earth

looper isnt half a space taker though, have you seen the small ones that have like 4-8 loops on them? cant remember the brand off the top of my head now

[quote name='Higgie' post='28926' date='Jul 9 2007, 12:55 AM']He has used one. It's on his "Spontaneous Jamming Techniques" DVD/Video he did. I think it may have been used on Around the World too, with some studio enhancement to make it sound better.[/quote]
it definatly was a odb-3 he used on around the world, with studio enhancements of some sort, not only does it sound like the pedal, but he has said it in numerous videos, and his sound technition has been known to talk from time to time about his board with members of the rhcp board

sorry im just a really big flea fan and i guess i just like to think i know everything ^_^

im fairly definate he has never used one live for a show anyways, he's been pretty loyal to the odb-3 since he started using distortion, he brought a big muff onto his board last year but i think that has been replaced with that second odb-3.

you can get them from many places, they are fairly common

Regarding overdrive I think on the RHCP BBS people reckoned it was a pro co rat and then the ODB3.[/quote]

there wad definatly two identical bright yellow pedals on his board, which could only have been 2 odb-3's. flea has never used a rat, it cuts all the low end and is basically sh*te on bass

[quote name='Musky' post='28561' date='Jul 8 2007, 12:34 PM']Well there are bassists that use 2 (or more!) distortions at the same time, but they're usually after a more industrial, almost synthy sound. Which doesn't sound like Flea's usual tone.[/quote]
thats what im saying

guessing it didnt sell on ebay?

josh klinghoffer (cant spell)

friend of johns and the band, him and john write music together outside the chili peppers

and thers no way flea could use them both at the same time, it would be far too distorted

anyone else notice he had two odb-3's? sicne when is this? i cant think how he could make use of two, but iv narrowed down to two possibilities:

1: he uses one for hard overdrive, like around the world, and one for milder overdrive, like the little improvisations he does in btw and give it away

or

2: he uses one as a overdrive, and the other as a clean boost, effectivly replacing the mxr micro amp (which i couldnt see if it was there or not)

my current one is soldered onto the circuit board by the 3 metal connectors that you cen see in the pic above

the thing is, the jack on my musicman doesnt look like any of the ones on thomann or maplins

when the 506II is in a loop, some of its effects are decent
such as the phaser, which i love

though ye, it is mainly used as a tuner

zoom 506, love it

imo ALL bassists need a zoom multi effects of some sort on their board

506II for me

bump

please help me people

my brain hurts

i think im gunna keep the ps-3, im just attached to the arpegiator function

arghhhhhhhh

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='27450' date='Jul 5 2007, 02:10 PM']It could be as simple as the contacts in the jack have become dirty or oxidised.

Before replacing the socket it could be worth cleaning the contacts inside the socket using a cotton bud moistened with isopropyl alcohol (sometimes tape head or CD cleaner).

Planet Waves cables have expanding collars help keep the plug snug in the socket. Before I replaced the jack on my '71 musicmaster it kept cutting out if I used any cable other than a planet waves. Do you know anyone who has a planet waves cable you could try?[/quote]

lol, i use planet waves cables as my main instrument to pedal board / board to jack

that sounds like what im after, il have a look for it

someone is selling them on us ebay, il email about uk shipping

the sound sample on the site if very interesting indeed

i have no idea, and i dont know what i can do bout it

does anyone know of any good honest guitar repair places in the widnes area? (near liverpool, warrington)

i aint carryin my board on a 40 min train ride and back

i know, but i dont drive

the one on the right:

nope still doesnt look lke it, il try n find somethin similar....


nope cant find anythin on maplins

well if theres no way round it then il guess il just have to put the thing in a loop again

im living in widnes at the moment, near liverpool/manchester

il be in bristol from august onwards

the socket iv got looks nothing like that, its like a small black box
