Was a pleasure selling another pedal to you martin, great communication throughout and was a rite fast transaction! Thanks again your a top bloke and i hope there will be more business either way have a good one Mike

Cheers for the reply guys and correct Mr russ, it is for now. Im deciding getting a swamp ash body off warmouth for this to completly finish it off.

iv been meaning to put this up for a while now and finally, here it is; My lovely 1975 fender jazz. Enjoy: This is no doubt the best bass i have ever owned and its sad as it is probably the nicest jazz i will ever own. Its got some wizard 84's, cort tuning heads and its just had some new frets and strings put on it. It plays like a dream, especailly with thoes pups. They are hands down the best pups you can get for a jazz bass. Believe me on that one! Cheers Mike

How did i miss this thread?! Well done matey, thats a mighty fine job you have done there! I think it looks fantastic as it is man, although personally i would have gone with a black scratchplate and then all black hardware. Then it would look like the darkest, funky bass in the known universe! Either way its superb, and your first project!

I use sony acid with it. its very easy to use and has its own little window within sony acid. Try bit torrent if you are aware of it to download it hope this helps

Stevie's a top Bloke, i did a trade with him and it was a fast, smooth transaction with great communication as usuall Buy/Sell with confidence! Cheers buddy, Mike

...obviously i didnt spent long enough on either of the pedals. Im going to have to have another test run on them both but i always find it annoying having to test them on a shop floor. Its more of the awarness of other people in the shop issue if you know what i mean. I had a thought this morning though, would it be feasiable and potentially as good or better than the EBS pedal to create your own from scratch!? i Have a garage full of tools but just no experience with electrics and could be interested in starting.

MB1 bought a lovely ashdown suboctave pedal off me, very fast transation! Great communication throughout and a general top bloke IMO!! Pleasure doing business with your Martin! Cheers Mike

Thank you MB1 for making a thread for me. Everyone else iv done business with, please leave your feedback! cheers Mike

Just got home from the guitar shop then pub and decided that distortion pedals are not realy for me tbh. Every pedal i tried out just didnt cut it for me. As far as octave pedals go i tried out the boss oc3 and again didnt cut it. I dont know what it is but everything i tried today sounded rather poo...Although saying that, i could just be getting far too picky about pedals now. I still need to try the EBS as that is sounding more prominant as i like keeping original bass tone but adding a slight effect to them. and everything i tried today just ruined that. Was a sad day IMO.

what a reply. thats pretty much answered everything i needed to know as yes i dont know anything about them realy. All i know without trying them out is that i dont want too much of a synthy sound so the di+ sounds like a better option to me as does the EBS. Im going to a guitar shop in Guilford in about an hour to have a mess around with a few pedals and get a better idea but thanks for your reply, its opened my eyes a little. The only other thing i have to ask is, as far as the anologue tracking goeson the EBS, how responcive is the pedal in relation to other brands out there? I mean, are there better for the price or does it top everything as i want a superb quality octave pedal and in this case money is not a facor. Where as the distort im not so concerned about as long as its not too synthy. Mike

[quote name='Viajero' post='199384' date='May 15 2008, 10:54 AM']An interesting challenge might be to set a tune for solo bass arrangement. You could take a standard, or a pop tune, or whatever, and then see who comes up with the most popular version of it. That way you get specialists in all styles doing their respective thangs, and everyone had the same starting point. You'll get both theoretical and/or practical approaches. That could be fun.[/quote] +1 thats a fanfastic idea! I will still loose but it will be fun to do anyway, just getting involved is enough for me realy.

I have a slight dilema here as im looking for two new pedals. However i want to know for people who have tried out these what are the differences between them. NOT which is better etc.. So what makes the MXR DI+ pedal differ from the MXR Blowtorch? is one more of a synth sound than the other or what? and do they differ in many other ways? And regarding octave pedals, how does the EBS compare to the digitech in terms of tracking and overall sound? thanks in advance Mike
