Bought a Lakeland from Nick and he was good enough to meet me mid distance from our homes. Bass exactly as described and Nick was a pleasure to talk with. He even sent me a set of flatwounds for me to try out on the bass. Cheers Nick.

Thanks John for 51 p bass loom. Great service. Paddy

So band practice last night. I got in early to rehearsal room and tweaked some things up and some things down and my sound is already better. I will continue to chase my sound but I am happier. Onwards and upwards. Cheers Chatters x

Thanks all. Food for thought. I should’ve explained that I only use the dapper for the chorus effect and this is just one song. Also I tend to only use one effect at a time. Another thing that I haven’t really thought about until now is that I am expecting the same sound I hear on a YouTube clip advertising or reviewing an effect. Thanks all for putting some thought into my question. Paddy.

I will take a picture later

I use power source similar to this.

It’s when playing solo and then obviously worse when in the bandmix. I will I’ll keep tinkering. It’s difficult at band practice because we are there to practice songs not for me to faff about with my sound.

Good morning Basschatters, I confess to be a pedal newbie and have build up a small pedal board after trial and error of what I think is useful in my band. When I use my pedal through a small practice amp at home or headphones my effects sound great and just how I would like them to sound in a band setting. My problem happens once I put my board through my TB500 and Barefaced super compact in a band practice. The effects seem to loose some of their effect/rawness that I am looking for. I can hear a difference when engaging the pedals but they don’t have oomph I am looking for. Any advice?

Do a little bit of research in the band if there is anything to read online. Showing interest and enthusiasm will work wonders. Good luck.

Byron bought a pedal. Fast payment and great comms. Thanks

Given I couldn’t but what I wanted off the shelf I decided to DIY. I purchased vinyl car wrap in Matt black for less than £5 and below is the result. For a first attempt I am pleased. It’s not perfect and I learnt a couple of things I will do different next time such as use a scalpel instead of stanley blades. I have enough wrap to do again at least twice.

Excellent. Thank you.

Not completely sure, the bass is two tone sunburst. Black, Tort or Pearl?
