I'd love to try a Rick but absolutely no way at the prices they go for. No way in hell.

Tasty 1980 Rick I just noticed on eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125433617786?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lWesMlFOSri&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=XRJhsZSpS5O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That would be my ideal P bass. But I'd probably have to get a second hand Mexican one and have a pickguard made! I'm already at too many basses, but a P would be very welcome in the fold right now!

It was a coin toss between that and Risky Business. Can you see the inspiration here? Unfortunately the band never really got going and since then I've sold my fretless Warwick and headless Status/ Washburn. One day.... One day....

And a custom shop P too. I do like both of them... About £4k ish new. Looks like a good deal for someone.

Thanks, it worked when I first got it but the output was low. No crackling or cutting in and out, just quiet. Then when fiddling around the other day it just stopped.

Hi everyone. I bought an old OC-2 off eBay a few weeks back. I used it for just a few minutes, went on holiday, came back today and.... After about ten mins messing around with various riffs I'd like to use it for the Octave 2 function just stopped. Completely stopped. The direct signal knob and Octave 1 work perfectly but Octave 2 is now silent. Is there a common or known fault with these? My mate may be able to fix it, he builds his own guitar pedals and is an engineer by trade, but I'd like to be able to give him a clue what's going on with it. I've also politely asked the eBay seller if he was aware of anything with these...

Bands I was involved in naming: Guantanamo - got our first gig purely on this name. I wanted to get orange jumpsuits too but never managed to. Cocktails and Dreams - 80s covers

Sorry, not me.

I've watched that clip loads and posted it on here a fair few times but never knew the full story. Thank you!

I toyed with this... Mainly because part of the reasoning is that I want the sound of my amp 99% of the time so a preamp/ DI will either be cluttering a signal chain or adding/ cutting frequencies unnecessarily. I'm in a quandary really. If I spent proper time with my Helix I could just get it to do most of what I need it to.... I just don't know if I can get the time to do that.

That would be an interesting question for a non-bassist! I think we are all too biased to answer correctly. I personally love Jaco and don't find him too much on the Joni recordings or live work, if she didn't want that style she should have hired someone else is my view.... But I fully get why anyone would say the opposite!

That has got all the knobs.

That's not a meltdown. This is a meltdown... https://youtu.be/O3cBp_Bf43M

This looks right up my street, thank you!

I'd love one but they are pricey!

I would have suggested contacting these people http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/ but the main message on the website reads that the proprietor has sadly passed away.

Thanks, John. I hadn't realised but Al Krow has already done a detailed comparison of these pedals a few years back and directed me to it. Your comments are backed up by Al. I think it's an easy decision. Also I think Marcus Miller has a B1 four "for fun".

Superstar, thanks!!

I'm looking at both as a small and easy to use replacement for my Helix Stomp. I'm not using the Stomp to anything like it's capability so want to get good quality individual pedals for my essentials and have a multi available just in case for anything a bit weird required in the band repertoire. I know both these pedals are highly thought of but just wanting to weigh up the pros and cons of each. Thank you!

He's even miming kicking his cable away from a pool of non existent beer. Oh, it was dancing?

What kind of info are you looking for? I don't mean to sound rude but this just looks like a budget p bass copy, not sure what you're expecting to find out?

I am pretty much decided I'm giving up on my Helix Stomp. I barely use 1% of its capability and most of what I want I'm buying extra pedals for anyway. So... I want to replace my essential effects. I think a preamp pedal is a necessity for shared backline gigs and in case the amp goes pop. I'm looking for something that does EQ and DI out as a minimum. Some compression and drive would be nice but not essential. What I've found on the past is that some that sound great for passive basses just don't work for actives. My gigging basses are a Jack Casady, Stingray and a Sire V9. I also have a passive fretless Kramer but it rarely comes out to play. So quite a range of sounds and styles I'd need catering for! Ideally I want to buy second hand. Thanks
