Thanks for that, I've been looking at both the VT and the BDDI recently. I've swooped on a BDDI for the moment but may well have to get both before I decide which one to keep.

Easy - First bass - an Aria Pro II, the all important purchase that started the ball rolling. Probably my most useful gadget is my Zoom H2 for recording band praccy's - helps with new songs, great quality 'off the cuff' recordings.

Man - I had no idea they were touring! Genuinely gutted!

Pedal train jnr?

There ya go.

There's no definitive rule - use your ears and what sounds best is what's best for you.

Those connectors look well tidy - where dya get them from?

Mike bought my Oxcide Fuzz - paid straight away - great to deal with - thanks mate.

Totally agree with Beedster - Although tbh I was guilty of not checking the guys feedback - which was crap. It turned out alright in the end - lesson learned! I didn't have any qualms about leaving him negative feedback though.

Thanks for these, always welcome samples of pedals I've not heard before. I'll have to wait till I'm home from work though.

I hit 40 last November. It was strange because I felt really down about my age when I hit 39 but wasn't bothered at all when I got to 40 - I think I was over it by then! Still in an originals band but starting to feel like a tit when I'm giving it some on stage - there's a little voice in the back of my head saying "act your age" - and another voice saying "f*ck it!".

I'd link the vid, but can't at work.[/quote] Thanks mate, I thought of Youtube but can't access it in work and am far too impatient to wait til I get home!

I've been thinking of doing this to my old Soundgear but never done anything like this before - how did you take the frets out? Is there certain technique to use to avoid damaging the fretboard?

I think it depends on what your doing and what you want to do. My bands guitarist knows pretty much zero theory, only has a loose idea of where the notes are on his fretboard but to compensate has perfect pitch hearing, great intuition and fantastic feel (is one of the best guitarists I've been fortunate enough to play with). Within our rock band it works really well, I don't get frustrated that he doesn't know certain terminology - no matter how basic and he doesn't brag that he's such a great player even without any theory. I think this this may hamper him outside of a band envoironment, for example if he ever decided to do session work or take part in a musical for instance. But he's never shown any inclination to do those things so I don't think it would even matter.
