    Sounds like a BassBalls driven over the edge by a damn good overdrive / Distortion pedal. I get a similar sound with my BassBalls & MXR Bass Blowtorch combined. LUSH!!!!!! Wish I could walk like that when im playing

    [quote name='wotnwhy' post='86039' date='Nov 9 2007, 04:42 PM']"All I ever hear is sub-bass tractor noises and pseudo guitar noodling" the sub-bass tractor noises are probably because whatever system your listening to it through isn't doing it justice. when you start to get [i]really[/i] low, it's more about [b]feeling[/b] the notes than hearing it. and just because you don't seem to like pseudo guitar noodling doesn't mean it's not an apt form of expression. "(and, trust me, I am not narrow minded about it)" maby not about that (in your eyes), but sounds like your being slightly narrow minded about this. music is about free expression, yes? and to effectivly and freely express yourself the tool you are using should put as few barriers in the way as possible, yes? obviously some people feel 'confined' as it were by 4-5-6 or even 7 strings and feel the need for more. just because it's more than most people 'need' (and remember, need is an [b]extremely[/b] subjective word*) doesn't mean it's any less justifiable. if you don't like the music expressed on these instruments, fair enough (i've got to admit, most of what i've heard on extreme extended range instruments hasn't really floated my boat). but each to there own eh? wouldn't music get awfull boring very quickly if everyone just stuck to standards and didn't push barriers with instrument creation? *i mean, we don't really [i]need[/i] 4 strings do we, i'm sure a very musical person create wonderful melodies on a 2 string bass.[/quote] Totally Agreed. I stick to 4 strings as thats what I love playing. If I wanna noodle I play my guitars. Thats just my thing. Each to his own, there is a ear for everything in this world.

    [quote name='joegarcia' post='75308' date='Oct 16 2007, 10:42 PM']Yea, Guv'nor mkI all the way. I have one and love it to bits. Think there are a few on Ebay at the moment.[/quote] I tell ya mate, I stumbled over his sound on my rig recently! Its rather fiendish rumbling sub bass thats more from his Audioslave work than RATM. I use a MXR Bass Blowtorch through an Ashdown ABM with full valve pre-amp selected. For added "Cochise" I stick the Cry baby bass wah on. Ive seen it move pint glasses!!!! Great stuff. Keep searching C

    [quote name='Voodoosnake' post='70893' date='Oct 8 2007, 08:15 AM']Up for grabs is my immaculate hardly used MXR Bass Blowtorch Effect Pedal. This is what Jim Dunlop have to say about this evil brick: The M-181 MXR Bass Blowtorch bass overdrive pedal is made to deliver the hottest sounds this side of Hades-from a tube-like growl to full-blown distorted madness. Because the Bass Blowtorch's overdrive is focused in the midrange frequencies, you'll retain your low-end thunder and high-end sizzle while the overdriven mids cut through any mix. An active 3-band EQ with a mid shift switch provides precise signal balancing, while the Blend knob lets you balance the distortion with the direct signal for the exact tone you're after. 18-volt performance equals increased dynamic headroom, clarity, and low noise no matter the volume level, and true bypass circuitry means it's really off when you want it off, leaving your signal completely unaffected. MXR M-181 Bass Blowtorch Overdrive Distortion Pedal Features: From traditional tube-like growl to full-blown high-gain distortion 18V performance for increased dynamic headroom and clarity Low-noise performance at loud volumes Active 3-band EQ with 3-position mid shift for precise tone sculpting Distortion and direct signal blending Real-world tested by world-class touring bassists Tough die-cast housing True hardwire bypass Comes with original box (no power supply) Offers around £80 considered. Will accept paypal or postal order. Let me know if your interested Cheers Col[/quote] Withdrawn due to its phenomenal performance over the past few gigs. Spending time working with this pedal has really shown me its potential. Hence the change of heart. I was going to replace it with a Roger Mayer VoodooBass but not anymore. This definately aint a quick sound kinda pedal, well worth the effort once set. just thought Id let you guys know =) Cheers C

    [quote name='OldGit' post='70136' date='Oct 5 2007, 08:16 PM']ha ha actually some accordions are worth a packet, easily as much as a classic bass .. You should be able to buy quite a few with the proceeds, and I'm sure he'd rather you used the legacy to actually make music .. yes, of course he would What's the difference between a melodeon and an accordion? The accordion will burn for longer ... [/quote] LOL, like the punchline. Well, I'll be honest, he's already given me one to try (hes a softy really)and its a tough instrument to grasp, maximum respect to all players of the awkwardest of (wind??) instruments. Most certainly aint my thing. Hadnt thought there may be a market for them, may even be enough to buy the Triple Omega purple heart Alembic ive had my eye on!! Who knows????

    Lovely story. My grandad is miserable old git and insists that he is leaving me his musical armoury. He plays the 'kin accordian!!!!!!!!!! I'll be up to my boxxocks in the things. Wanna trade Grandads? Apart from their choice of instrument they seem quite similar. I'll chuck in a set of strings for that nice MM of yours If your ever lookin for an accordian...................................

    Bought in 2000. Regularly serviced, Large casters fitted, some slight surface damage from gigging. I really dont want to change as she has been the unfaltering foundation to my sound for 7 yrs. Shes been consistent through my musical peaks and troughs, but being a 4x10 she is 'kin heavy. Im looking to downsize due to health reasons (not caused by the amp, hee hee). If you fancy getting your hands on this MONSTER bass combo and have a 2x10 combo or head / cab set up to trade let me know. Im interested in. Ashdown ABM 2x10 combo or head / cab set up Ampeg B500 2x10 Mesa Boogie Buster This amp is AMAZINGLY powerful and the Sub Harmonic Generator is a truly superb addition to an already stonkin amp. If she goes a tear will be shed but I wanna keep musically active so........................ Sadly Col =(

    Just a shame your fountain of knowledge is delivered with such poor attitude. Be nice man, it costs nothing to respect your fellow fatstring plucker. These sites are all about camaraderie and helping each other, might I suggest a visit to www.angermanagement.com Lesson learnt?

    A rather harsh and unecessary comment there Mr Ferret. Did god die and leave you in charge? Id hang my head in shame if I were you! Your reply indicates towards a very superior view of oneself and ones knowledge. Mr Evans is a good friend of mine and a damn fine bass player, why on earth would you want to respond in the manner you chose? Unless, you have internal submodalities that indicate a negative self image and poor interpersonal skills. If I were you Id recheck my internal belief hierarchy and make some changes. just let us all ask whatever question we like in whatever manner and forum takes our fancy, its our right you know. Ah fxxk I aint got anymore time to give you. Get over it big boy
