The Burpster

My issue with Fenders is not the design, its the QC - you could get a dog of a custom shop or a peach of a squire. That's just way too vague for me, and yes I have owned 3 different MIA P basses. Sadly I wouldnt consider having another.

I'll give you £600 for the dog if you throw the bass in free......

well as I have just bought one I can emphatically say yes. (300/115) With an active bass and the gain and output turned up it will easily keep with my old Mesa Walkabout. Tone wise I have already replaced the Eminence ferrous 15" speaker with a Celstion Neo green and it is very nice. Playing aruond with the pre amp valve will I'm sure ghet me that Mesa silky coffee tone that I'm after......

Just got a Daisy rock debutante for £180 which is 32" and is a peach.......

Well what an odd place for me to be in..... Lifelong 'no child zone' to stepfather in 12months.... eek. However, 9 yr old girl was fascinated by my bass noodling, started to become curious and then was asking 'to have a go' (she does already play woodwind)..... Well to be fair a PRS strung with flats probably isnt the best place to start, and she does have small hands for her size, so for her birthday we have just got her a Daisy rock debutante. I've heard others on here rave about these and I have even had a noodle in s shop once (and was pretty impressed), but I wasn't prepared for how good a 'made in China' bass was going to be. TBF it has now had a 'proper' set up, and plays well out of the box, although there is always room for improvement with a sub £200 bass. I have a Schaller 4D bridge on order as the BBOT is a 2 saddle affair which is pretty rubbish but functional, and when I do this I will level the frets and put lighter gauge strings on for her little fingers. I am however impressed by the wood, the finish and the output. It has a fascinating growl for a passive one pick up bass which we all like. If anyone is interested, once I have done the bits I'll put some pics on, however if anyone is umming and erring over 'if this is a good idea' for a youngster for xmas...... definate YES from me.

I'm looking for a warm fuzz, so you can still hear the bass underneath and it doesn't turn into a guitar (a problem I've had with previous bass distortion pedals). Would this pedal be able to provide this sound? Or is there a better option from DHA? (I'd really love to buy one, they look really good, and I've never haeard a bad word about them). Thanks guys![/quote] Not quite the same but I have a VT-1 EQ- drive, which has the same stuff as the drive but lots more too. I bought it to 'dirty up' the tone out of a D class digi amp, which I guess is what you want to do. It does it very well and produces a good variety of drive from just a bit of boost to well over-driven boost. I am impressed with it and it does exactly what I want from it and some other stuff besides.....
