[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325552543' post='1484414'] I haven't actually tried digital delays in a band setting because I don't like their sterile sound in isolation so I never bothered, but I agree that I always felt with the Memory Toy and the CC that it got a bit muddied in a band. I'd only use them in a situation where there would be very little of the other instruments, like at a song intro or quiet interlude. I just don't think delay belongs on bass other than in situations like these anyway, generally speaking... [/quote] That's exactly the scenario I'm thinking of for using a little delay!

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325525044' post='1483960'] I also had the Memory Toy and A-B'd it with the CC, if I remember the degradation is darker and more pronounced with the CC, but the Toy has wider range, a bit more extreme. Depends what suits you best, but they are very, very similar. I sold the Toy and kept the CC. [/quote] Thanks matey, I'll be watching for a good price on a CC then!

My Lakland 55-01 is comfy all the way up and sounds clear on every fret

So, the mxr is firm favourite so far but the byoc looks good too...hhmmm

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325452941' post='1483350'] I had a Carbon Copy and loved it. Then I got a Line 6 M9 and A-B'd the "Analog Delay w/Mod" model in it against the Carbon Copy and couldn't hear a difference at all, even the degradation of the repetitions sounded alike. So I sold it. Now I'm back to single pedals though, and if I need a delay again I'll get the same one. Aqua Puss is bigger and I use a Pedaltrain Mini so... [/quote] Thanks for that mate! Hav you tried a byoc as above?

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1325452848' post='1483348'] Got a nice BYOC analogue for £70 if you're interested Pm me! [/quote] Oo! Are there any sound samples or vids for them anywhere pls?

Am thinking about either an mxr carbon copy or a way huge aquapuss... anyone got/used these on bass? anyone use something else I'd be mad not to consider? I'm looking at about £100 and like analog delay for its character, bucket brigade style!

Hav had several mm basses and have always used them in the 'passive' hole, I was told that only mega Pokey active basses like alembic etc go in 'active'... This may it may not have been correct info but it has worked fine for me...

I have pre-ordered my antacid for next year.in the form of a Lakland 55-02 so that and having completely changed my rig in 2011 has exhausted my gas issues... I do totally agree on the gig acquisition though!!! I do really want to try a Wal fretless to see what all the fuss is about though and one day I'll buy a Sadowsky UV70 too

Not sure how much a Peavey grind is but I think they're 35" and not too expensive? They're popular-ish I think...

Jez bought a bunch of picks from me, instant payment, good banter, lovely guy! Recommended!!

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1325250108' post='1481300'] Not wanting to cast a shadow on Lakland as I have owned a few of them, but never found the Bart MK pickups to my liking to be honest. Good shout though, they do the job for a great many people and are built to last. Cheers, Mark. [/quote] I love the feel of mine but may one day upgrade the pups to maybe some nordstrand fat stacks, the barts are doin a great job for now though...

You should be able to snag a s/h Lakland 55-01 for around 400, they're amazing!

Mark bought my blue tortex picks, paid instantly and had great comms, thanks matey! No problems here, would gladly recommend to all!

Harry just bought a bunch of strings from me, instant payment via e-cheque (so no fees all round) and was fantastically communicative and patient throughout! A top chap who I'd not hesitate to recommend! Goonies rule!

I'm afraid I was expecting much the same as [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/93-dudewheresmybass/"][color="#282828"]dudewheresmybass[/color][/url] but I've never seen such a pretty headless bass! Love the sovereign addition too! The Holly top looks like molten silk!

[quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1324477125' post='1474718'] i often use a Behringer amp at the studio we rehearse at if i can't get my own amp there, combined with a Marshall 4x12 it can sound flippin awesome somedays, i've often thought sometimes i'll just get one of these a a backup. Nice and easy to use, great range of sounds, decent shape filter, good rock tone, all in all a good back up. Not the same as the one in the add though but this one [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BX4500H.aspx"]http://www.behringer...ts/BX4500H.aspx[/url] [/quote] It's an 'ashdown-a-like' for £200! I may get one as a back up!!

[quote name='derrenleepoole' timestamp='1324474567' post='1474668'] I would be more interested in this, A Status 5 string for £333! [url="http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/417753/the-groove-bass-guitar"]http://www.cashconve...ove-bass-guitar[/url] [/quote] That's a great price isn't it? Not far from me too...

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1324474298' post='1474663'] [url="http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/412764/behringer-bvt-5500h-ultra-bass-amplifier"]http://www.cashconve...-bass-amplifier[/url] Seems like a lot of Amp for £159? [/quote] It may not sound like that much amp, it's a Behringer and they have very mixed quality...
