[quote name='RIM Basses' post='79213' date='Oct 25 2007, 06:23 AM']Have a look at the soundtech stuff from smartsound direct.[/quote] plus the one... good amps and the best service i've had from an online/mail order firm.

do you get the girl in the ad too ? i'll take two

the boss obd3 bass overdrive has been described as very industrial-sounding...admittedly not in a 100% good light, but it might be worth a try out. it was too much for me, but a very fuzzy tone - it has the blend function and 2-band eq too.

i hope you have ! at the worst it's a budget model from a high end maker - and i guess you're getting the 'tronics. if you don't get on with it...pm me. i don't expect you to tho' :D

[quote name='umcoo' post='80108' date='Oct 27 2007, 01:24 PM']It has 3 knobs, volume, saturation and shape. Volume does what it says on the tin, saturation is the amount of fuzz and 'bite', and shape seems to bring in more and more bass. With shape and saturaion on full, it can be a little glitchy, but the amount of bass frequencies is amazing.[/quote] sounds like you're having a lot of fun with it ! what do you mean by glitchy ?www.wrenandcuff.com

a status for that much ? i'd buy it

[quote name='Johnzy' post='79320' date='Oct 25 2007, 12:06 PM']anyone thought about the samsamp? theres now a programable version!![/quote] as a distortion pedal i thought the sansamp was pretty poor. it's on or off iirc, no grind.

[quote name='G-bitch' post='76350' date='Oct 19 2007, 09:38 AM']Art thou on crack?![/quote] that price for that mark bass is just plain stupid.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='77034' date='Oct 20 2007, 05:06 PM']i went out to get some earlier and some tins of spray contact adhesive for a mate to stick his studio carpets down - so i didn't bother buying my stuff and just used that instead. Sprayed it to both the hexboard and the velcro and put it back in place - seems to have done the job nicely! Cheers all[/quote] just a word of advice about spraymount-style adhesives...use them outdoors ! the glue flies around and gets everywhere

[quote name='BassManKev' post='79007' date='Oct 24 2007, 05:58 PM']i decided not to go for it in the end[/quote] good move imho. it would have fallen apart somewhere in the atlantic

"calm down come down" by throwing muses

i'd say no

[quote name='mr pablo' post='77874' date='Oct 22 2007, 09:02 PM']Ahhhhh Any links on how to do it or who does?[/quote] hmm....i had a link a while back, but i can't seem to dig it up... maybe someone else could help ?

there is a mod to raise the output of the sansamp..

i've had the case out in the garden all weekend and it still smells. magically it seems to taint anything that touches it...my hair darped into it when i gave it a sniff yesterday and my hair stank all day the smell in the case is fading...slowly.

it does sound like the output from your bass is just too much for the sansamp. the simple solution is to turn it down using the volume knob on your bass.

[quote name='3V17C' post='76402' date='Oct 19 2007, 11:03 AM']always thought this was quite nice: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg[/url] peace c[/quote] i'm not normally a fan of tapping, but that's really nice. it's restrained...not like the showy stuff people usually do.

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='77308' date='Oct 21 2007, 02:26 PM']it's a plain bit of wood, not even carved (cant imagine thats comfortable on the fretting hand, no frets, simple electronics. all of this means that you wouldn't need a great deal of skill to build something of the same standard yourself, for an awfull lot cheaper.[/quote] exactly what i though... i mean...i've got the tools out anyway

i've got the sansamp rip-off (the rbi 21) and it's fine, and i also have their tuner pedal as well (which i've used live wsith no problems) they're not as sturdy as metal-built ones, so if you go smashing your foot down on them you might hurt them. but just go easy !!!

[quote name='billynoband' post='77264' date='Oct 21 2007, 12:35 PM']There is nothing wrong with the heads in my humble opinion- its the speakers which are the problem, wooden (almost) crate with a speaker and hole, built to a budget, vanilla, missionary, cheap and nasty design-yes even the ABM range. Its our fault we do not demand better.[/quote] when i've played ashdowns in the past, they've not been running through ashdown cabs...trace elliot and peavey, but not their own brand... ymmv of course

mu p choice goes to my mexican made cowpoke special. blind bought on ebay, it's prolly the best bass i've ever played. (are we allowing pj's ??)

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='77170' date='Oct 21 2007, 12:24 AM']Well, we did the gig to 25 people. But pmly just. I nearly chinned some bearded weirdo in an Engerlund shirt who came in from the other bar and interrupted our soundcheck with a demand we turn down. When I said we had our audience to entertain, he snorted and said 'it's a national thing'. Glad they lost![/quote] what a dick !!

i fianlly got my double muff through the post today. my oh my...what an amazing sound...on the single setting it's just a beautiful overdriven sound...comparable to my aria td-1 a nice crunchy break-up not bad for £25 !!
