But yeah it can be tricky to get fuzz going on both guitar and bass without it turning to slop. Maybe just a bit of grind on the bass might work better, a la Daisy Chainsaw. [/quote] daisy chainsaw eh ? that takes me back a bit back on top - how about an mxr blowtorch ? - it's got a really heavy fuzz sound with a blend control and a dry signal out.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='425340' date='Mar 4 2009, 05:39 PM']Bright - top strings have a bit of a zing sound to them. Clicky sort of attack to the note. Lots of string squeak as you move your left hand around[/quote] one man's bright is another man's clank !

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='437613' date='Mar 17 2009, 05:49 PM']Nope. I think it looks horrendous.[/quote] plus the one. i think i remember a nasty experience on acid that looked a lot like that. but....each to their own !!

bought tim's ebs multicomp from him and i can put my hand on my heart and say he's a proper gent. if you get a chance to deal with him, it'll come out golden. as t'were cheers tim !!
