I've only used the Boss CEB-3 and the Analogman. The Boss was metallic sounding to my ears, I didn't really care for it much. The Analogman was lovely and more natural sounding - but I'm not that familiar with Kings-x so I can't say if it's the sound your after.

[quote name='Higgie' post='891910' date='Jul 11 2010, 12:30 PM']Really liking that Bugcrusher! Instant GAS! Just checked out the site and apparently no longer in production. B*llocks [/quote] Ditto!

Nice one fella - that sounds ace! Well impressed - I can see how you can use that in a ska setting. That last sample is killin man! I also liked your clean tone - I'm a bit snobby about Squiers but that sounds really nice.

He's got solid feed back, although he sounds like a fruitloop - (see the comment about log burning and Nazi memorabilia?) I think it may be genuine (not the Lemmy bit though). I think it's crazy splitting up an old Fender like that and selling it piecemeal and when you sand down the paint/laquer you've totally killed the mojo and as Blackmn90 says - your left with a heap of junk.

Hmmm, samples of the bug crusher on youtube are a bit thin on the ground, I did find one with a guitar and I think I can see why it would be cool on the bass. Any chance of samples? I'm looking for a pedal thats a bit different and this could be what I'm after.

I've only got active basses and the Malekko B:assmaster and Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz both work fine. Have a look on talkbass. In the Wiki in the effects section theres a list of fuzzes with a comment regarding whether they're active friendly or not. I don't think it's been updated for a while but it's still got a fair amount of fuzzes on there which should help you out.

Well played to Bartleby for tracking down the pic! I decided not to follow up the "interest" this afternoon and went the gym instead - good job with him giggin in London eh [quote]Sent him a msg offering to pick it up - we should all do that![/quote] Great idea!

Nearly always the bass first - but I think it has more to do with my playing ability in regards to keys and guitar and the sheer amount of time I spend playing bass compared to the other two.

[quote]The one to the left is the Bugbrand Bugcrusher I bought off Kennerz this week. It's a sample rate reducer and the one knob is the sampling frequency. It sounds a bit like an in-tune ring modulator, and if you feed it a distorted signal you get crazy pitch-related oscillation.[/quote] That sounds interesting - I'll have a mooch for some samples when I get home from work.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='888584' date='Jul 7 2010, 03:47 PM']Made a couple of changes this week, here's what I've ended up with: [/quote] Great board! What are the two pedals either side of the Squeezer?

[quote]I just think some people on here think it's cool to admit not liking him.[/quote] How is that cool? I don't understand your point. I was only only joking when I said they were crap. It's just I tried listening to it, got about a minute in and got bored. It sounded like elevator Muzak to me. There's no doubting their Jedi like skills and fretboard w*nkery, but where's the heart man? I mean, I guess I much prefer band songs. Give me Harris, Burton, Butler, Jones, Zender, Flea and Commerford any day of the week.

Well I thought they were both crap!

Used to change roundwounds once a month - now I've been on flats for about 6 months I don't feel the need to change them, although I need to take them off to oil the fret board, the woods looking a bit dry. ^^^ I find that avatar disturbing - a naked man taking pics of a rabbit - no wonder the poor thing look terrified!

I enjoyed watching them. I didn't know whether the bass sound was light or whether it was my old telly. Fantastic live band though. Does anyone know what the glowing square is on the singers guitar? (sorry not great with names). Is this a musical device or just ornament?

[quote]I went to college and Uni with lots of people who played more than one instrument, the emphasis in any course should be on being a MUSICIAN not a bass or guitar holder. I think you're getting yourself wound up over nowt to be honest with you.[/quote] I disagree with this. In the 3rd year of my degree I was playing my bass for between 3-5 hours every day in preparation for a 40 minute solo recital. You really have to live and breath the instrument of choice. [quote]In my view, the most important thing is that you choose something you'll be happy practicing every day diligently for several years.[/quote] Spot on.

I've never got on with Warwicks. I love the shape and the necks but the ones I've tried have all been duffers - despite their expense. One was headstock heavy and wanted to dive bomb into the floor and the others felt poorly set-up and that included a $$ and a dirt blonde.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='871609' date='Jun 19 2010, 11:25 AM']Althought this will go in the "For Sale" section shortly, I am selling my Stingray 5 if anyone is interested, it's in absolute mint condtns, had it from new in 2002, not even a scratch to it, as I keep all my instruments mint. Translucent Red on ash body with nice visible wood texture, maple neck, original MM case and all the trimmings. gives us a pm if interested.[/quote] Great looking bass - not seen a pickguard like that before - looks ace.

If I had the cash and it lived up to the hype I wouldn't have a problem paying £300 for a pedal - not that I have that kind of money at the minute.

[quote]Dolphin is overpriced and rubbish for bass guitarists IMO.[/quote] Didn't always be the case - 3 years ago, as well as the obligatory Fenders you could expect to find Overwaters, Musicman, Ibanez and Warwicks - I spent many a lunch hour in there widdling away. I like the staff in there and prefer them to Dawsons. Curly's are good too.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='870355' date='Jun 17 2010, 11:03 PM']What colour was the £1700 one ? One of these: [url="http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/classic-stingray-4.html"]http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basse...stingray-4.html[/url] ? They are £1700 ish in most stores at the moment. Most striking feature is the varnished neck.[/quote] It had a transparant gloss varnished body, I couldn't find anything like it on the website though?

It wasn't a mint green powder blue - but actually very similar to BH2's. Not sure if it was an Ltd - it's not on their website and I didn't notice Ltd on it anywhere. [quote]I've never got on with them, the necks feel too chunky to me and they tend to have quite obvious dead spots.[/quote] Funny you should say that - the first stingray I tried was a tobacco sunburst jobbie going for £1300 and that did have obvious dead spots - which lead me to try the other one. As for £1700, I did ask an assistant why it was so much more expensive than the others and he said it was because of the wood finish. If I had the spare cash I would have no problem paying it for a bass of that quality.
