Hi everyone. I'm finding my formerly trusty boss limiter enhancer now a bit inedictable. It used to be easy, it was in my signal chain to get rid of the loud clunk from engaging my ehx pedals and also to help me even out the dynamics when changing from one bass to another. This worked successfully for some time but I'm now experiencing a weird effect, particularly with my fretless, which really needs the enhance function. Basically I get almost a delay from playing the note to then hearing a highly compressed sound out the amp with lots of the character gone. My amp has a variable compressor and I now have a Hartke VXL in my chain. Do I still need the limiter enhancer or do I just need to be more patient with finding the settings (and writing them down!!)

I have an MIJ 70s reissue P with Steve Harris signature pups and the matching signature flatwounds. It is truly a monster and I love it dearly.

Just picked up a Boss bass flanger, the old Brown version... Can't wait to get it on the board and through the trace rig!!

Hohner PJ Bass. Bought on a whim from eBay because it came with a hard case I sold for fifty quid... Think I paid eighty for the bass and case together. It was just nothing. No character in the tone, rubbish neck, low output pickups, just a complete nothing.

A P Bass special, the 80s one with the two sets of P pups.

Delicious bass! Though not my style I'm afraid. I fell in love with a Sandberg at the bass show last year, you'll be getting great quality with that instrument!

Fudge me!!! If I'd spent that much on a bass and it has any defect ever I'd want a first class plane ticket to Germany to watch them repair it and being put up in one of those special hotels where there are lots of jacuzzis and scantily clad women walking about and.... You get the drift.

"Boys Night Out" Is This The New Niche For Bands?
uk_lefty replied to blue's topic in General Discussion
As long as everyone has a similar level of commitment its all fine with me... I make it clear to people: I'm not a pro quality player, I don't want to give up my job to try to "make it big", and if I am having a busy week at work and home that prevents me learning new songs properly then I say pretty quick -
top advice, thanks - its opening me up to a few different ideas. Not wanting to play lots of notes, just to sound more authentic. thank you!

2x Behringer bass chorus pedals. Bought one, it only worked sporadically, the retailer replaced it without wanting it back... and the next one doesn't work reliably either. Both for sale to someone who may want to use for parts, use the casings, repair... up to you. Please send a private message as I can't check the forum as often as I'd like to

Hi everyone - my new band is throwing in some country style music. I love listening to it but I'm showing myself up a little. Root-fifth.. root-fifth... attempted fill... root-fifth... I can play most rock genres in my sleep but struggling to crack country. Granted, I don't practice enough - but I'm looking for some tips to get a bit more out of playing. My lead guitarist has played country bass but i think he just played it like lead guitar, and he's not great at explaining or showing what he wants me to do. So - any country players... what would be good songs to listen to and learn? How do i get away from root-fifth, fill, root-fifth and play something authentic and not "soften" the feel? Is playing the Tenessee three style rhythm possible on electric bass? thank you!

Hi, sorry it's a multi power supply with various outputs at 100ma and a few at larger currents. Got a replacement from the retailer and had same problem only this time didn't work at all off the power supply, worked off battery only at home and then in the rehearsal room did sweet f*** all again. Giving up on these off to buy one from a more reputable manufacturer when I have the pennies together...

massive lack of decent midrange active fretless basses with lines

Warmoth. Have a look, build what you want then adjust the price by trimming back on materials such as body wood, less exotic top, etc. Pay a professional to set it up if you like after you've done all the basic screwing together... -
£175 pickup from st Albans, buyer to come round with a bass and test at a sociable hour (neighbours have kids), bring your own bass to have a go all mine are kack-handed!! Excellent combo pumping out 300 trace Elliot watts and all the tone you expect. Extension cab can go too for the right price. Please PM me as I get told off for checking BC at work and home!!

The retailer sent me a new one and guess what... Ok with batteries, no effect comes in when plugged in to the power supply. Incredibly annoying as I actually quite like it as an effect but won't use it enough to justify buying the Boss or other Bass Chorus pedal. I use a 9v 100ma multi-power supply which works fine with my Behringer tuner, Boss Limiter/ Enhancer and two EHX pedals.... Something's telling me trying to solve this will be more faff than its worth.

I've done some market research and re-priced. For sale is my Trace 7215 300watt combo. I love this amp, but circumstances force sale. Its the most feature rich amp I've had and I love the tone, I just have too much cash tied up in stuff that's not being used enough right now. Buyer to collect from St Albans. It is listed on eBay but would much prefer selling here.
