just go the whole hog and get the body wrapped with chrome vinyl (and keep the pots the same)

Sublimination of photos on aluminum plates - anyone on here do that?
I'm having trouble finding a supplier for a project- Show previous comments 8 more

I don't but there's an artist in my wife's building who does all of that tin type stuff, photography mainly. I could ask him if you have a specific question or if you want to just go straight in he's [email protected].

@Happy Jack yeah that’s my poor spelling - my searching has been ok. I found people who could do it but found a different method which hopefully will work

Is there a more expensive ‘70s Fender available.....anywhere?
LukeFRC replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
it's a colour that requires tagging @AndyTravis anyway. It's a price he's not going to feel bad about not being able to afford. :) -
I should add @Owen is more of an expert than me... I use the compressor for a bit of smoothing, but more for tone enhancement and making the whole bass tone hang together. I tend towards low ratios as I like a bit of dynamics and being able to dig in and send something a bit fizzy.

try both. I'm putting mine before the drives

Bass gear nerds: body tonewood is important- do you prefer ash, alder or mahogany? @Fettsman: yes -
Fixed

with a schematic it would be easy ... they use a TAB1043 chipset.... including the new ones. Supposedly really low performance chip, esp at lower power... but my suspicion is that the audio crapiness of the chip is part of the sound

He described it as fighting it for two weeks then it clicked. the problem the rest of us have is we don’t have his ears!!
-
I imagine a good clone sounds the same - but in @disssa’s case with a shiny case
-
I lent mine to a guitarist mate. the guys day job is sr audio engineer and now runs his own mastering business - I say this to point out he has v good ears. he struggled with my stomp for a while, then something clicked and he sold thousands of pounds of effects and valve amps and is happy. from memory he used a LPF in the master EQ to take off the very top end and then use a preferred IR at the end of his chain. ( I found it interesting that he had just one ir he uses )

this guy...

It made sense in my head when I wrote it!

It’s all about context - otherwise it’s just people online answering questions by reinforcing their own decisions.

They look like thr designer came in hungover and had a look at some EBS pedals for inspiration im guessing the enclosure change was done on cost grounds - the graphics really don’t say high end New York effects andd so amps company to me

this ^

I did it as a eq block - you can add extra tone shaping if you want... and means that if you put something like chorus or compression after you can have some high end
-
Hx stomp is an amazing bit of kit i sold mine and have a few individual pedals - for me, for bass it just about made sense as a decision (but costs more) but if I played guitar as well in any shape or form then I would have kept the stomp - it’s that good
-
I had a helix. It's great. In using it a EQ block with a HPF and LPF was more immediate alive sounding than the Cab Sims or IRs - esp for sending to the desk where it's going to be further eqed to fit in the mix HPF to sculpt the bottom and make sure the bottom end is more like a bass cab. (Also stop subs playing badly with compression on the desk) LPF to take the top off to help clear it out the way of everything else and make distortion sound nice.

take the microbes out the equation... what's it do then?
-
there you go. And how did I guess you might have a bitsa on the go?

When I am playing a bass the weak point is always me

Mostly we have a honeymoon period and then it's just a bass. A really good instrument is one that keeps on getting better as you learn it more - it sounds like you have one in the Enfield. It's not just materially good, it's grown to you. The Fretless P. How good is it out of 10? if it's good enough keep it, otherwise how much will you loose on selling it and making the beautiful bitsa fretless P you would inevitably make ?

fingers crossed
