Ive got a black sparkle piezo ray, and ive never used the piezo either, sounds fine and very acoustic bass like, but thats not why i bought it!, a stunning bass though.

I found them very lacking in power also

My 75ri got preamped and new pups etc, and then a week later all back out, sounds much nice just passive! and my trust old blue 62ri had a graphite neck, emgs and a j retro and now sounds nice without the pre, but still too 'sterile' so im trying to decide between changing the pups or the neck...actually any thoughts on that would be great...which to ditch graphite or emgs?

My dunlop bass wah distorts heavily when used before my new zoom b2.1 using my clean with corus, slightly mid boosted patch, but this didnt happen with my old zoom 506..any thoughts?, this particular sound is kinda a trademark so id go back to the 506 before i had t opart with it, but obviously id like to stick with my new toy if i can! Also is there any way to use the foot pedal on the b2.1 as a normal stand alone wah, instead of the more treble/less treble on a filter which seems to be what happens when i have tried to set up a clean channel with nothing but pedal wah?

Boss CE2 as seen in this months guitar buyer magazines 'pawn stars' section, just a lovely sounding pedal, nice and quiet too. Flattens the EBS imho, and everything else ive ever tried apart from the very rare amdek chk-100

Thanks i guess it has drums too?

Bit of a flawed masterpiece really, the knobs are absolutely crap onstage, who in hell wants mirrored knobs with a tiny black dot on when you're under stage lighting?? Useless. Also the pre/post switch has no indication which is in and which is out when the other switches do so I keep forgetting and have to carry the manual around with me. Still love it though [/quote] Yup i have changed the knobs and put a bit of tape over my pre/post switch with IN written on to remind me!, but its so good its worth it, a truly great sounding pedal.

I need something that my guitarist can use to record new ideas and email em to me to hear, but really cheap and simple, i was wondering of the zoom G2 would be something he could use ? he'll need some kind of rhythm guide drum thing built in, is the Zoom and its cubase software a good idea?

Ive had the shoulder strap on theie rockbass bass bags go on me twice, once dumping my bass headfirst down a flight of stairs, luckily it was the ray so no harm done, but the stairs were trashed hehheh

bridge pickup for me, thats what pickups are for isnt it? ^_^

I get the same thing, or i try to DI from my VXL and they insist i use a house behringer DI!? WTF!! I think its laziness and fear of something different which means they may have to think instead of just doing the same as every other night

I hate having to tune down, i find i prefer thr tighter tension in terms of feel and tone, also i tend to do my set ups tuned standard so the action is affected when i tune down, i should just set one of em up to be downtuned really like i did when i played full step tuned down heavy metal.

Thanks guys

yeah i shoulda gone really, ah well

Im about to start experimenting with looping as im getting an RC20 for my birthday, and was looking at an EHX POG to go with it, but then i started to wonder about the digitech Whammy, which do you guys reckon would be the better idea?, doe the whammy work ok with bass?, and what type of PSU will it need? I want to use it to emulate guitar sounds, and add harmonies. Cheers

lol, if only thats the funds from my old warwick with some birthday cash, and even more tragicly im back with RS, albeit in a part time, two or three afternoons a week kinda way!

I had one and also found it sapped my mids and that the dive was too fuzzy, swapped it for a hartke VXL and havnt looked back, the VXL is a great sounding, truly versatile pedal that for me really nails that valvey grind, as well as being a DI and preshape and external eq, great great pedal.
