Changed my mind and sold it instead, pending payment...

Boss LS-2 will let you bypass the pedal and adjust the volume of it. Plus it has 2 loops so you can also had another tone-sucking/volume-changing pedal in the 2nd loop. It's pretty versatile, you can use it as a blender, instrument/amp selector, etc. It's not true bypass though and some people over at harmony central say it sucks tone and others don't - but the people saying it did may have been using crap cables or suffering from I-must-have-true-bypass syndrome.

Let me know when you Bristol boys have arranged yours so I can have my thread back!

I wonder if any of you bass FX nuts would be interested in hauling your pedal boards along to some rehearsal space in London where everyone can try out each other's pedals?

If interested, reply to this thread and list what you'd bring and what you'd be interested in taking for a test drive! If enough people respond maybe we can sort something out...

- Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass
- EBS Multicomp
- Digitech Bass Synth Wah
- Humphrey Badder Monkey
- DHA VT2 Dual Custom Bass
- Zoom B2
- Aphex Xciter
- Danelectro French Toast


In particular I'd like to test drive an Ashdown J-Lo pedal...

I have a black Setmour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pounder p-bass pickup in very good condition. I want to trade it for something a little less agressive like an SPB-1, or any other nice p-bass pickup. Must be passive, and black in colour.

I'd prefer a matching PJ set if possible, I can make up the difference in cash.

NOW SOLD

New for £180 eh? I just got one for £189 + £10 p&p and that was the cheapest I could find...

This is an awesome bass people, a big step up from the usual Squier stuff!

I really like the shiny metallic finish on the BJFE pedals, you'd probably be able to get that from using Hammerite paint.

I've been fooling around with my bass plugged into my PC tonight, I can get that kind of sound out of my Ampeg SVX plugin, or my Zoom B2 amp models. I'm using a Squier Vintage Modified Precision (not the telebass one, the white one). Your Ric should be able to cop it as well.

What gear have you got and what have you tried so far?

Looks like everyone wants something different, so what you need is a structured set of options, e.g. different models of pedal (VT1 Std, VT1 Mk3), PCB only, PCB + components (no case), all parts + undrilled case, all parts + drilled case.

Granted it would be more of a pain for Dave to sort out and price the options, but it would at least keep everyone happy and he'd probably end up selling more that way.

Not being a tight ass, but would rather build a plain VT1 than the Mk3 which would bring the cost down as there's fewer parts and I only want the basic valve sound without the extra bells and whistles. I think a lot of people building their own would probably prefer the lower cost and simplicity of this design over the Mk3, or at least would like to have the choice.

Make it a kit of the VT1 Standard with a pre-drilled enclosure and a lower price and I think you'd be onto a winner. By the way, how packed are the internals of the VT1 Standard, any chance of us using a different box with a smaller footprint?

I've just got the VM precision for £189 new from gak.co.uk and am in love. If I had the money I would get the fretted AND fretless jazz to complete the set!

I just got a Squier Vintage Modified Precision yesterday, I have to say it's the best value P-Bass out there today. Not too heavy, thinnish neck with satin finish, Duncan pickup, white body with a black plate and rosewood fingerboard. Nails the vintage P-Bass tone and got it for £189 from gak.co.uk. So not worth the extra for a MIM Fender unless you need that logo on the headstock!

The EBS needs the internal trimpots adjusting to suit your bass. If you couldn't hear it doing anything they must have been set wrong or your bass output to low, I can get very over the top squash with mine!

Check out all the loopers first, this is a good resource:

If someone's got one and can make a recording, I'd love to hear this pedal!

You should've posted this in the effects section...

PM'd regarding the B2!

I'm selling an FBV Express controller pedal by the way which is a perfect match for this great amp if anyone's interested!

[quote name='Flintlock' post='153534' date='Mar 8 2008, 11:31 AM']The tone for hysteria is a Sawtooth with some fuzz, I think. However I get a really good tone by running my Little Big Muff and then turning the mids and treble right down (you'll still need some of each though, so don't turn it right off).

For whom the bell tolls is easy, fuzz with quite high tone and then slowly rock the wah back and forth.

[edit] This guy does the job quite well one a Boss GT-6B, try PM'ing him. [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fRBwhZA3YuM"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fRBwhZA3YuM[/url][/quote]

Turbo Rat will nail that one mate, or the Dunlop Hendrix Fuzz. There's clips of both of these over at talkbass.com.

Bumparama.

Doesn't work with the www, remove that bit:

Count me in!

I'm up for this, it would be great to meet some of you after being on here for a while. I'll bring my Yamaha fretless (equipped with quarter pounder pickup) and my pedal board (if anyone's interested in trying out an EBS Multicomp, Digitech Bass Synth Wah, Humphrey Bad Monkey and DHA VT2 Dual Custom!).

Shoot me a PM if anyone's driving up from London and has room for a small one in the car!
