[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1439798053' post='2845744'] The mention of a warped neck and being sold as a project? [/quote] That and the word "Junk" in the title!

Looks too good to be true? What am I missing? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281775512390?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] EDIT - Oh, I see - dodgy neck!

Bought a Diago commuter pedalboard from Lee. Really easy purchase. No problems here.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1438611326' post='2835752'] Let me know if you want to get rid of the unmodded one bud, I fancy trying the MA mods Si [/quote] I would do, but I quite like having the un-modded one as benchmark for testing other pedals against.

I've somehow ended up with two ODB-3's. So I modded one with a few mods from Brian Wamplers pdf's. I didn't bother with the 4148's, but the other 3 changes improve it a lot :- [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]easy mod to make it much nicer:[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]c10: 1uf[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]r31: 1k[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]c8: .001uf[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]for more smoother compressed tone, change d2 and d3 to 1n4148's[/size][/font][/color] Sounds quite good now (much less fizzy) and has even made onto my board a few times recently.

Just spotted this interesting dual purpose item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar-body-unfinished-or-bass-guitar-chopping-board-/121719181005?hash=item1c57074ecd

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1438417403' post='2834319'] Thanks boys. NoirBass I bought it my eyes wide open as my tutor was showing it to me at my last lesson. I could see it was quite complex but I rashly assumed the manual would be a bit more explicit with at least a glossary in it. [/quote] Ok, well I'd get your tutor to give you a hand - TBH once you get the concept I'm sure you'll be fine.

I feel partly responsible having sold it to you. I didn't find it that difficult to use although I have many multi effects units all with different user interfaces. I had also owed a B3 before the MS-60b and the interface is largely based on the B3's - Any inference might come from being familiar with other Zoom units. I'd have a look at the B3 manual and videos as they are basically the same thing, but the B3 has more knobs to control everything. Good Luck!

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1438189434' post='2832421'] The DigiTech bsw is a very good octaver! That's what I use, tracks extremely well. [/quote] Oh yeah, +1 on the BSW.

I would agree about the OC-2, its a great pedal and if you can afford one get it. I for one don't mind the OC-3. As I always say in these Octave threads, try a DOD Octaplus. They're cheap on the Bay and have decent analogue octave down with a tone control. The Black Label EBS Octabass is worth a look and I would imagine in budget 2nd hand. Quite different to the OC-2 in character, but very clean and easy to dial in.

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1437585752' post='2827334'] Drat - I never saw those. I already bought a warwick rockbass fretless on a whim - so the CV GAS will have to hold off a while... [/quote] I think you may require slightly more patience next time the CV GAS kicks in . :-)

Theres as 2nd hand JJ Sig Squier here: http://www.musicwarehouse.co.uk/secondhand/3583-secondhand-squier-james-johnston-jazz-bass-guitar-in-blue.html

As someone who plays a lot of function and corporate gigs, I am still stunned that its not understood by other musicians that you have to play songs that the punters want/expect to hear. As previously stated obscure songs, no matter how good clear dance floors in seconds - sometimes even old chestnuts can! On the other hand we jokingly played Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight in a soundcheck recently and it received great acclaim from our apparently educated audience. In order to keep getting repeat bookings you will be required to perform a lot of the same old stuff. Lets hope some new classics get written soon and we can all shuffle Brown Eyed Girl further down the set list pecking order.

I've noticed this too, although I did mange to score an oly white cv jazz a couple of weeks ago on the bay. I think it's just a matter of waiting.
