[quote name='MoJ' post='54505' date='Sep 2 2007, 11:39 PM']Mind if I ask where abouts in your sigal you put this? is in between your amp and bass or in after the amp/eq (ie effects loop)? ANdy[/quote] Hi Andy, She is the last pedal in my chain. That goes straight into the preamp. I dont use the FX loop. Cheers Col

Just bought one of these and have to say its breathed a whole new dimension into my tone. No undesirable "breathing" side effect and not only tightens the sound right up but adds a very nice only what can be described as "sub-growl". The sustain is STONKIN. Not sold as a bass specific comp but really works a treat. Its well built and takes a little time to test for your sound but well worth the outcome. Power supply a bit fiddly but not worry. Ive tried loads of comps and this one has more than won out. Check one out if you looking for a good quality compressor for your fatstrings. They aint cheap but VGVFM. Cheers Col

Hi Guys, I use one of these regularly and find the 18 v requirement is best served with 2 x 9v batteries. Ive had her a year and gig a few times a week as well as rehearse and im only on my second set of duracell. I changed them because I thought she was powering up from some supernatural source. A great sweep of sounds available, take the time to test her and she'll become you best mate. I hate power cables everwhere, shes more than fair on batteries. Just my thoughts Keep Groovin Col

[quote name='Mikerthomas' post='46507' date='Aug 16 2007, 04:43 PM']Hi all, I have an early Warwick Buzzard dating from the late 80's. It has the natural wood finish, straight through neck but does not have the forward volume control mentioned above. I gigged with it for many years and it is a really nice guitar. I don't really gig much these days and could be persuaded to part with it for the right money, is anyone seriously interested??[/quote] Hi Mike, Im currently looking for a buzzard, having had one previously and regreted selling her in times of need............blablabla. Do you still have her? If so what sort of figure are we looking at? Would you be interested in a trade?? Cheers Col

4 String Fanatic of 20 yrs gigging experience I also teach quite regularly. Ive tried a few 5 stringers and didnt enjoy the low B string, although now I do have a hipshot for E-D drop tuning. I approach the bassist role as the link between drums and harmony. Currently have a 4 piece band with 1 geetar. I get plenty of space to run around should the song call for it but mainly concentrate on making the song groovy and sound awesome. Ive been lucky enough to be given a couple of songs that highlight my playing. For these I pull out a few tricks n slaps and taps but only for short periods. Im not onr for too much limelight (let the geetarist have that stuff) Overall I play to enjoy and keep to my groove job pretty solidly whilst having tons of fun. My fave practice routines include fast runs and grooves (Claypool / Entwistle) just coz they are challenging and great for hand fitness. Just love plucking the fatstring!!!!

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='42692' date='Aug 7 2007, 11:26 PM']Hey! Im looking to get an EQ pedal for my bass, but i really wasn't sure what to be looking for. Can anyone help please? I was leaning towards getting a Boss GEB-7. Many thanks, Rich[/quote] I use the MXR 10 band EQ - Very accomodating for bass and easy to dial in your sound for any room. Great tone !!

[quote name='Rayman' post='38960' date='Jul 30 2007, 01:51 PM']I'm after some quick advice, as I need to get the pedal asap. I need an overdrive/distortion pedal, fairly cheap as I can't afford boutique stuff at the moment. It's for a couple of Muse covers and other bits and bobs in the set, so I need something with some real distortion not just nice overdrive. Used or new, don't care, I just need it quick, but I don't want something totally crap, it needs to be a decent pedal. I've heard mixed reports on the OD-3, is the Ibanez PD-7 Phat head any good? Is the little Behringer BOD-1 any good? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.[/quote] MXR Bass Blowtorch is great. Maybe a little pricey but the best Ive ever had.
