  1. I'd say go for the Knightfall 66. You'll get a lot more pedal for your money.
  2. Wow, very funky.
  3. I recently got a Blower Box, and I love it. I also have a TK-421-X (with added HPF mod) on order so I'll be able to a/b them. That'll be a few weeks away though but watch this space.
  4. I've had a Streamliner 600 for a couple of years now, and I quickly paired it with a single HD112, it's a lovely combination. I tried an HD210 with the 12 but the adding the 10's in the rig made the overall sound way too punchy for my taste. This year I got a second HD112 and the two 12's together are stunning. Lots of tight & focused low end, a big sound. But not big in that it takes over the stage, yet it's all around you at the same time. Definitely worth trying out.
  5. Ditto to lots of the above. Keep the bass you have, it'll do you just fine for a good while. For what it's worth, I have a Squire P that has earned me my living for years. All I changed from the original spec were the pick ups, wiring and scratchplate, and it plays really well and sounds awesome. Don't buy 'other rubbish' with your grand - get yourself a decent amp. And enjoy the journey ahead. Welcome to the club
  6. [quote name='hawkeshealey' timestamp='1413426151' post='2578184'] i'll take the odb-3 i have pm'd you thanks. [/quote] PM replied to. The pedal is sold pending payment.
  7. I'd be happy to help somebody out if they had something fail on a gig, but if they turn up expecting to blag the use of my gear, forget it.
  8. I have this issue when I run my Grand Tarkin into my MXR filter. I set up a graphic eq patch on my Zoom B3, and lowered the output level so it's now all nicely balanced. That meant I could also fine tune the eq which was a bonus.
  9. I've dropped the price of the ODB3 to £30. That includes shipping. That's a bargain. This is one of those 'somebody buy it or I'll keep it' kind of bumps.
  10. This looks like one heck of a pedal. It's more than I can justify spending at the mo, so I'll have to pass. But best of luck with the sale.
  11. A wise u-turn. You'd only regret it
  12. I'd keep the old pedals, for now. You may find you like the sound of some of them better than the digital models in th B3. Wait until you know the B3 better before you start selling old kit.
  13. Only one left now.
  14. Great idea dood! Immigrant Song & Pump It Up added
  15. I just bought a pedal from Rik. Another easy BC transaction, thanks Rik!
  16. Bump for two dirt pedals.
  17. It's the '77 just ahead of the '95 for me. The OP says the strings are all the same, do you mean they're all brand new too?
  18. These boys are great
  19. [quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1411751970' post='2562564'] Practice , practice and even more practice . [/quote] Exactly. I found it hard doing BVs after 10 years of just playing bass. Now it's pretty much second nature to me, and I pick up new parts really fast. It's a useful skill to have. Keep at it, and practise whenever you can, it will become easier with time and repetition. I used to break down the two parts to find out the order of bass notes, consonants,or both sounding together. Does that make sense? Then get practising, slowly at first. Once you get the hang of it take the tempo up, gradually. Something I got told a long time ago - 'you don't practise 'till you get something right, you practise till you never get it wrong!'
  20. Yes it's subjective, but for just over a ton you'll get so much bang for your buck. I use mine like you're planning to and I love it.
  21. Nice pedal dude!!
  22. [quote name='njr911' timestamp='1411477667' post='2559864'] Pedals are cheaper than cars [/quote] My board cost a lot more than my car is worth lol. And the car isn't a banger!
  23. I've only used Prymaxe once and didn't get collared by customs. I bought a pedal on a 20% off weekend and saved about 40% on the best UK price.
  24. I used to have a rig that only had one cab, and I had the same issues, not hearing myself well on stage. I ended up using one of these - http://www.standback.net/ Getting the cab angled upwards really worked for me. It folds up and fits in a any small bag too.
  25. I haven't used a synth pedal yet, but what I do use for synthy sounds are combinations of my pedals. Fuzz/overdrives into filters, or octaves into fuzz/overdrives. I can get a lot of very different sounds by using various combinations of pedals. They work pretty well for my needs at the moment, and my board is already full up so there's no room for more toys.
