I hope I never actually have to, but if I do I'll be sure to let you know

Oh God that is mouthwatering. Maybe I'll sell my svt and ctm and get one of these instead. Got to try them all really before finally accepting I can't lift them.

That exact same thing happened to me with Bruce Thomas from the Attractions. Never learned his stuff,but God I write like him

Well, I am happy to report it's a thing of beauty on its own and in the context of the song it is wonderful! Very much how I hear a bassline to a mellow, sparse tune, but played in someone else's style of course.

*Goes off to listen to Abbey road again*

Played in a smallish part of a largeish pub last night. Horrible to get gear into; pedestrianised outside, no parking nearby, huffing down with rain. Also a longish drive. So I travelled light. Bass in a soft case on my back. One small case for leads mic tablet etc, TCE 208 and a single 10"TE extension, all on set of sack trucks. In and out in one lift, happy days. However while the little TC combo copes well at gigging volume, especially with a second cab, it can be a little, how can I put it? A little sterile perhaps, lacking in je ne sais quoi maybe. Any road, I'd slipped the Sweet Baby into my bag and glad I did. Left it on all night. Lifted the sound, coloured it, and helped it cut through. Lovely.

Irish bar in centre of Bath with my originals band. Packed, dancing, cheering and even singing along. Can't ask for more really.

Well I love marmite so I'm happy with it!

We could set up a WhatsApp or messenger chat?

Just realised that reads like a for sale ad. It's not its a recommendation.

A tenner posted. Very comfortable, very effective.

Wait not in front behind the octave. I mean in front if they were forming a queue but second in the chain. send > octave > bassballs > return.

I've been slightly underwhelmed by this pedal. Then I read up on the tweakable inner controls. So I whipped the bottom off (stop sniggering at the back) had a tweak and yes it is transformed. I've put it in a parallel loop in front of an octave pedal (Valeton oc2 style synthy sound) and it's really nice. Wind it up and it's good enough as the main sound, roll it back and it sits under the clean signal giving a sort of thickening burping underlay.

I'm not suffering from any loss of bottom end by the way. But running it in parallel with the clean signal and having a tone control on the tpm is probably helpful with this.

our pa is vocal only, not designed for bass. In some of the bigger venues it has occured to me to stick my speakers out under the pa stands and use a small combo tilted back for my benefit.

Not gigged it yet but I have it in its own loop on my tri parallel mixer and running alongside the clean signal it's very nice. Just a little overdriven, it knocks the edges off. A minor financial crisis has forced me to sell a couple of things including a valve distortion pedal. While this isn't as good as the real thing it will certainly do for now.

Trace Elliot AH500X. Two amps in one box. Each has its own volume control. Even has a built in crossover so one amp will output the upper frequencies, the other the low. And a UV light tube too.
