If you like the Ric sound but with the shape and feel of a P, why not? I don't see why that makes him a Prick?!
At least it's not reliced as well - In which case the thread title would be well deserved!
All of these need a bit of overdrive (a Digitech Bad Monkey does a fine job on the cheap if you can't get it from your amp), which is why they're so much fun to play!
Wolfmother - Dimension (or just the whole album!)
The Stranglers - Peaches
The Flaming Lips - It Overtakes Me
The Wombats - Moving To New York
Kings Of Leon - Four Kicks
I've also been learning a bit of Led Zep recently, check out Ramble On, Heartbreaker, The Lemon Song, etc... Also anything off of the first two Black Sabbath albums!
I might have a few off you Steve, I'm rearranging my board at the moment and need to figure out how many I need. I'll get back yo you later, if they all go in the meantime then no big deal!

[quote name='The Funk' post='539802' date='Jul 13 2009, 10:18 PM']Which bit? Grew up on Leigham Court Road![/quote]
I'm near Streatham Common station!
Theo, I could be interested in the MicroPOG, but as I want it to try and recreate organ sounds (to use with my leslie simulator), I'm not sure if I would be better off with the full sized POG with it's detune feature... Need to try em side by side I suppose! I'd give you £90 for it if you want to trade it in, PM me if you want to come down try it out sometime.
You snooze, you lose! Theo was pretty quick off the mark with this one...
Actually the Bassweet can get a good synthy sound too (although without the gate), but with more bass and more balls than the Wooly Mammoth!
Not posted mine for a while, here it is:
Currently experimenting with the XXL and Supercollider in a blend loop off the main board. Lots of fun to play with, but low gain overdrive from the VT/BB is all I really need. Not really using the 442 much either, so it might come off for the XXL if I can squeeze it on there!
[quote name='kevbass' post='533326' date='Jul 5 2009, 09:15 PM']I bet if you put it on ebay with worldwide shipping you'd get a lot of interest from across the pond[/quote]
Instead of paying the hefty eBay fees, I'd rather pay for a supporting membership so I can post it over at the Talkbass classifieds. Should be able to shift my Bassweet on there too!
[quote name='Happy Jack' post='533519' date='Jul 6 2009, 08:50 AM']Does the Option 5 actually work well with bass?
I thought it was a guitar effect that could also work with keyboards.[/quote]
Works brilliantly. Slow mode is very subtle, like a mixture of trem/chorus/flanger/phaser/univibe, fast mode is much more throbby but sounds very much like an authentic leslie. Check out Led Zep's Heartbreaker, it can sound pretty much just like that!
I can put you in touch with the guy who took the photos of my friend's band Pushboxer if you like: [url="http://www.pushboxer.com"]http://www.pushboxer.com[/url]
Bass BB -> VT Bass is my core sound, if I had to pick a 3rd it would depend on the genre, either an MXR Carbon Copy for post-rock or the Option 5 Destination Rotation Single rotating leslie speaker sim for blues / classic rock, or a Supercollider fuzz for heavy stuff!
But then again, that body is routed for the Darkstars so might be hard to shift without the pickups. I'm not desparate for cash just yet so am happy for it to sit here for a while rather than put it on eBay!
Why not just buy one of [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,28/category_id,3/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,206/"]these[/url]?
