They've been on my mind since I read that in the thread too! 😄 I wonder if there's any wiggle room with the wiring to put one in a P/J, or if they're a single fixed board? 🤔

A good hack that I sussed out for myself, that works for me at least, is to listen to the drum track and have a bop around whilst scatting/singing the bass part I have in mind without my bass in hand. It really helped to teach my brain where my beat should be without much thought required as I'm literally engaging as a listener first before I start playing. Might work for you too.

Thanks. I don't own or get on with Jazz basses unfortunately. I prefer the idea of being able to do the filter thing with whatever bass I'm playing. Great idea though and ta v much for the heads up. 👍

Amazing thread! Thanks, but building one is well beyond me unfortunately. I applaud your abilities though! If you ever make some more pedals to your designs please hit me up. I'll have one! The Broughton pedal (Thanks for the link) is out of stock and I'd rather send my cash to a fellow Basschatter 😉 Any plans to build more?

No I haven't misspelled Wah! Just wondering if there is a pedal that does the low pass filter thing that you get on Wal basses? I'm after that clear quacky funk sound. Apologies to all you pedal experts if this is a daft question, I've never been a pedal guy but I'm starting to feel the need! 😄

Interesting! Why did you hate the Wal so much? (I've never actually played one) My Rickenbacker was a pig because the neck was bowed beyond the scope of both trussrods and the action was insanely high.

I don't regret selling any of the great basses I've owned but, like you, I regret the one opportunity I had of acquiring the bass I'd love to have now. In the 90s a mate pestered me endlessly to buy his mint Wal MK1 for £600. I wasn't interested in the slightest at the time because I thought they looked crap. I was too busy trying to look cool, wrestling along with the pig of a Rickenbacker I owned back then. £600!! 🤦

🤣🤣🤣

I understand what you're saying and agree with you regarding cancel culture, but what or who in particular are you referring to? I'm not sure I understand the context here.

Covering MJ is a weird topic - Even Ian Brown (not one to pull punches on his views on anything) covered Billie Jean in 1999. After MJ's death later on he said this: In an interview with Q magazine he says the following when asked about MJ's death: 'Mixed feelings. He died for me in 1993 when the allegations about Jordy Chandler first came out. I did my grieving then. I heard him say it was OK to share a bed with 12-year-old kids, and I know it isn't'. The reason he was asked is because he was always a big MJ fan. Regarding the title of this thread... I'm a BIG fan of Frank Zappa's music but ever since I learned that bass player Roy Estrada is now a convicted paedophile, I can't and don't listen to the Mothers Of Invention music anymore. RE took the humor out of that particular music for me.

Age: ✅️ Common sense: still looking...it's probably with my keys, wherever they are.

They look great! I'm drawn to the orange one in particular.

Drop the E down to D then use the pedal to take it the rest of the way to B? 🤔

...put on your red muse and play the blues 🎸 (Sorry just woke up)

I think I'd prefer a shorter one now 😄

Double post...👇

Shoot You Down - The Stone Roses

Mega porn star bass solo here! 😗👌

I think it's less of a trick and more of a fun way to make a living. No doubt it's a cool game to play. I've got the knowledge, I just wish I had the funds behind me to do the same and put that knowledge to good use!

Norm! What a great journey!

Cor! Love it.

Deoxit works wonders. Highly recommend.

Just a thought... I wonder if simply selling what would be the CD cover (nicely done) on card with a download code on it might work better these days. It would cut your costs and enable you to sell them cheaper therefore probably selling more. Plus anyone who buys one will always have your music on them (phone) to play for their friends if they really like you, spreading the word. I don't even own a CD player anymore and don't know anyone else who does either...
