[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1343909517' post='1757149'] Yep, LMAO...... I'm thinking as I can't play bass, I'll stick a pedal on and I'll sound great :-D [/quote] That's my strategy! Of course, I'm going to plug the Iron Ether Oxide. Because it's beautiful.

Mids. That's what you need. I personally like the Iron Ether Oxide for fuzz, but experiment. Edit: Did I just shamelessly plug the Oxide? I think I did..

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1343909573' post='1757152'] [/quote] Finally, a board I can [i]understand...[/i] Two things, what's the box on the top left, and what are your loops? Edit: It looks like your Xero is missing some knobs..

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343845564' post='1756300'] Finally finished the rebuild. Took LOADS I pics of everything under the hood etc. and I'll drop them all on my website soon. For now, this is how it looks... Very happy with it. I was a tads OTT with the tidiness and cable wrapping etc. though! [/quote] It's beautiful.. Now I have to fly over there to play through it!

Too many gaps, I think.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343581589' post='1752318'] And so the great rebuild of 2012 begins... ... See you soon!! Shep [/quote] I wish you luck.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343388290' post='1749930'] He's a top dude and super helpful. I understand working at WMD means working in Will's garage! [/quote] I've played in garages for 99% of my musical career, it won't be that hard for me.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343313917' post='1748825'] Was it? [/quote] Quite! I really liked the part about pedals having "character". I find this to be especially true with old digital effects like the Whammy. I think I need to get my hands on that tube pedal though.. This has inspired me to talk to this guy. I might just need to work at WMD..

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1343214117' post='1747063'] The filter in the XT is good and perfectly useable but I find the IQ much more flexible for 70's funk stuff. The BEF pro is used almost exclusively with the hot hand for huge wobble bass, especially on the Artful gigs.... [media]http://youtu.be/timvuxG-Tjw[/media] [/quote] Sounds amazing.. Any other vids with that band? [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1343219039' post='1747184'] Here's mine, small change from before. I've had a real purge of my pedal collection, only the 4 below, my subdecay echobox, PN-2 tremolo and BB preamp have survived the cut!! Really happy with this simple setup for the band i'm in now. The stache can do so much (the footswitch on the left is a gate)... and the malekko delay screams like a teenage girl in a horror film [/quote] Looks good, but I must ask: what's the yellow box?

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1343164535' post='1746554'] Four technically! I bet the Pod XT has a pretty nifty filter! But yeah, well smart! Truckstop [/quote] True!

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1343111231' post='1745238'] Bass - LS 2 - Octaver - IQ - Multicomp Loop A - PODXT Live - BEF pro + Hot hand Loop B - Deep Impact George L and Lava cables, Diago Powerstation powering everything except the POD. [/quote] Beautiful! Three envelope filters though.. must be crazy.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343034410' post='1743918'] Introducing William Mathewson of WMD... [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/interview-william-mathewsonwmd.html"]Shep on Bass - Interviews: William Mathewson/WMD[/url] WMD are a 'boutique' pedal company based in Denver, CO and are responsible for some of the most stunning effects pedals and rack processors available today. Will's approach to creating audio equipment sees more features than builders usually dare to fit into a range of pedals all forced into a single box, many of which create seriously devastating results! [/quote] This should be good..

The diago powerstation works pretty well in my experience.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1343081163' post='1745098'] Well I guess three could be seen as a little excessive, using the Orbit more for it's Ring Modulator side though and the Oxide more for it's gating, so they've all got a spot. Wouldn't mind a Rat variant like a Fuzzrocious Rat Tail though... [/quote] One of the things a bassist never has, is enough fuzz.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1343073688' post='1744912'] the blue one looks like a TAFM. [/quote] So many fuzzes on that one board then! [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1343074706' post='1744940'] 10 points to Phil.i.stein, tis indeed a TAFM! As for the Boss OC-3 - it's a weird one. I convinced myself that digital octaving was [i]bad[/i] and that I should be more of a [s]snob[/s] purist and get me a decent analog octaver, so I bought an Aguilar Octamizer off this forum... and for some reason I just didn't get on with it at all! I don't know why but I just really preferred the OC-3 in comparison, and if it ain't broke... The purple box is a Nose double expression control for the Line 6 M9/13. It's great if you only want to make small adjustments and don't need a proper expression pedal. [/quote] My OC-3 broke in 3 weeks. Interesting..

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1342958484' post='1743104'] This is what I was playing around with earlier last week. Firstly just a collection of everything I've got to hand at the moment, after a massive sell/buy/trade binge, on a PT-2: And what I put together quickly for a jam (the first in many, many months) on a PT-Jr: Apologies for terrible image quality. [/quote] May I ask, what's the blue box with all the knobs? From what I know though, looks like my dream electronica board! Except maybe for the boss octaver. Good choices though! Iron Ether is truly 'the best.' Edit: Also, what's the purple box? I'm guessing it's extra expression parameters, but for what..? [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1343035859' post='1743945'] Arrived this morning [/quote] So jealous..

Ah, found this little thing: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Eden-EX112-Series-Bass-Cabinet/dp/B003IPCG10/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1342900825&sr=8-4&keywords=eden+cabinet"]http://www.amazon.co...ds=eden+cabinet[/url] Perfect for my needs! Thanks for the help and hilarity everyone.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1342887087' post='1742430'] Cheap and Small never equals good. [/quote] I don't really have a choice at the moment.. [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1342887705' post='1742441'] Quite. My backstreet penis reduction was a disaster. Truckstop [/quote] Did not see [i]that[/i] coming. [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1342892572' post='1742531'] The [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_rumble_112.htm"]Fender Rumble 112[/url] might be worth considering as well, though the 500w figure is peak - it's 250w RMS. [/quote] Hmm, maybe. The Ashdown is a bit more quickly available for me though.. (being cheaper) but I suppose I won't be able to use it for awhile anyway. Thanks! Turns out the rumble is lighter than the Ashdown. This changes everything!

[quote name='DirkThrust' timestamp='1342851045' post='1741816'] How about one of these? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_mbx112.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...eger_mbx112.htm[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ashdown_vs112.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...hdown_vs112.htm[/url] or [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ashdown-LB-112-150-150W-1-x-12-Bass-Cab-for-LB30/DYG"]http://www.gear4musi...ab-for-LB30/DYG[/url] if you can find one [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_neo112_bassbox.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...112_bassbox.htm[/url] Or maybe one of these. Lightweight and within your budget but maybe a bit bulky for one handed carrying [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_212mbe.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...eger_212mbe.htm[/url] It would help to know what you're going to be using it for. Do you intend taking it on public transport or is the one handed carry just from your car? [/quote] Just from the car. Might be carrying it around quite a bit inside though. The prices on that Ashdown VS112 make me very happy. Thank you good sir. Only 36$ for shipping too!

I don't think I'll want to build my own, I don't have any experience or any prior knowledge about the subject whatsoever and I would probably end up getting a bad sound. Hartke looks promising.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1342815803' post='1741557'] Build your own! Everything I can think of would cost more than that. Even if you look second hand! Truckstop [/quote] Build my own?! What madness is this.. On a more serious note, how would I go about doing this? I should probably google it, one moment. So I would buy a speaker and make the enclosure out of wood, I'm assuming.. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1342817381' post='1741586'] Don't Hartke do some fairly cheap priced cabs? I'm sure I was looking at a brand new 1x12 on eBay before buying my Genz one. [/quote] I'll look into it, thanks.

Does anyone know any cabs that are small (1x15, 1x12, etc.), light, and most importantly, under 300$ USD? I'm looking for something to pair with a G-K MB200 Ultralight that I can carry with one hand.

Oh, he's one of my favorites! Thanks Shep.

[quote name='AndyW' timestamp='1341085328' post='1713767'] At last my stripped down and updated 'essentials' board! Needs some serious wiring work but got it as tidy as possible for testing. Also still needs the pads removed for all the pedals and velcro'ing down. Might have to take some new photos as the cat hair on the Ernie Ball is bugging me! haha! [/quote] Whammy 5?! WHAT?! How do I not hear about these things.. How does it compare to the original?
