Very unique neck too, perhaps not to everyone´s liking, but agreed-the price seems great considering the parts alone.[/quote] indeed im just looking for something a bit more like the casady or ibby basses? andy

thanks for the suggestions guys im checking them all out! so please keep them going! burritobass yep sadly a grestch is out of my price range which is a big shame!

Sounds nice here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmSUjhcJaPo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmSUjhcJaPo[/url] but then most things do when Ed Friedland plays them[/quote] whoa just checkout some other vids! they sound awesome! andy

[quote name='wingnutkj' post='932769' date='Aug 22 2010, 02:02 PM']I played an Epi JC in a music shop yesterday. The feeling was of a really solid bass, but I found the neck was a bit too wide and chunky for me. Got some good tones out of the pickup - there's enough variety in the varitone switch settings to keep things interesting. How vintage-looking are you looking for? As a result of the trip to the shop yesterday, I'm going to be selling a couple of basses to make room for a new arrival, and one of them is a Yamaha BEX4 semi-hollow in blueburst. Lovely instrument, vintage-looking, with some decidedly non-vintage features - 3 band EQ, piezo and magnetic pickups, flame top. Pix and more info will be in the For Sale section when I get round to it...[/quote] thanks ill check them out! andy

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='928115' date='Aug 17 2010, 10:31 PM']Not a bad small board mate, I have the TU-2 and 105Q myself too, both cracking pedals. What's the FM-4 like on Bass then? I've been gassing after one for ages but haven't taken the plunge yet, worth it?[/quote] it struggles on the tracking for some of the wacky effects but for 90% its wicked! so much control over the effects! im looking at grabbing a dl-4, i know i could grab an m9 but that comes with aloud of crap that i dnt need. but yeh man its well worth checking out! andy

ok so here's my sad effort! will have alot more stuff once i get another distortion pedal and a delay pedal. from my wah it goes TU-2 > EHX Metal Muff > fm4 > RC-2 im gonna add my other pedals in using a LS-2 so i can have them on a dif loop but we'll see as ill have to redo it when i finally get my dual rig on the go! not that impressive but still makes some cool noises! love the fm4 probs my fave pedal atm! andy

[quote name='dood' post='922438' date='Aug 12 2010, 10:34 AM']Woooo Hooo!!! Excellent! I know what you mean about the timing though - I'm not used to concentrating on my feet as well as my hands! (I never was any good at football!!) - my 'punch ins' have been a bit random at times - though the Digitech does feature 'auto-quantise' so in most cases I can get away with a lazy foot! I'm really looking forward to getting a few ideas down on video - looking like next week now, but I echo your sentiment! I'm having lots of fun jamming out loops of well known songs, all on bass! Me Likey![/quote] yeh the rc-2 has a similar thing will sort the drums out if your slightly off. yeh im trying to sort out a video but looking at some of the ones on the net it makes me nervous! andy

so im starting to put together my board for my dual rig setup ive been getting together as it looks like ive have a more beefy amp sorted soon and need it ready to go when i grab another cab around october when we start gigging again! im planning on having this signal chain, from my bass go into my TU-2 then into my crybaby and then into my lehle pedal swticher. then take the A out of the lehle into my db750 and 610hlf as my clean sound. and from B go into the input on my LS-2, then on loop A put my ehx metal muff, then on loop B put my other two effects firstly my yet to be bought ODB-3 and then my line 6 FM4. then the out put of the LS-2 goes into my boss loop station then onto the effected amp and more than likely 210 cab. sound ok or is there anything you guys would do dif? andy

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='919969' date='Aug 9 2010, 07:40 PM']Limited edition MonkeyDream board ( Ghost Monkey X3012) on it's way to me. Awesome wedding gift!! [url="http://monkeydream.com/ghost_monkeyX3012.html"]http://monkeydream.com/ghost_monkeyX3012.html[/url][/quote] that is awesome!

me likey! really easy to use! will take a bit of time before i use it live with the band tho! need to get my timing up a bit better but other that that really cool! Very happy! andy

will do get it tomoz! andy

also is there any danger in looping so many signals thru one amp and cab? andy

[quote name='dood' post='917516' date='Aug 6 2010, 10:37 PM']I chose the digitech as it has far more options than the loop RC-20XL and I really didn't want another big pedal board like the RC-50.[/quote] yeh i saw the big one and i have no need for that! yeh i looked at the digi but i only want it for fun and doing something with solos in the band so i went for the baby of the group the rc-2 andy

yeh man, i had one and i know the buzz your on about, also know all about the power problem! i got rid of mine in the end as too many problems came up with it! but i had no complaints with the sound! hope you fair better with yours! andy

[quote name='Higgie' post='915539' date='Aug 5 2010, 02:03 AM']I just took delivery of my new DB750 that I bought second hand, and no matter what I did I couldn't get the Clip light to come on. Active bass (Lakland DJ5) into the amp with the Gain, Bass, Mid and Treble knobs dimed, with the master EQ all the way down, and it didn't clip once even with the most aggressive technique. Now it sounds fantastic with everything from the Active Lakland to my Passive P with flats, but I just couldn't get it to clip. I just wasn't sure if this was natural behaviour or not! Can anyone shed some light on the matter? Cheers[/quote] never seen mine clip either. just a q but why do you want it to clip? andy

I'd go for the bass wah! if i remember i think it only wahs the mids and highs, so you keep alot more bass in the sound. also it can act as a volume boost aswell! as unlike the cheaper guitar wah it has a volume and another pot that controls the amount of wah, and also has the spring action so you dnt have to go from the toe postion. all those features are why it costs more. andy

[quote name='JTUK' post='916485' date='Aug 5 2010, 10:27 PM']Out of everything here, I'd go for the DB751 set-up with probably the DB classic black cab if you can cope with the size of it...but then everything in that league will be probably be big anyway. Fits the 20 yrs and unusual criteria as well, IMO. Matamp might be worth investigating.[/quote] i love my db750 thru my ampeg 610!

[quote name='Finbar' post='917400' date='Aug 6 2010, 08:46 PM']All I can add to that is just to try the M9 with an open mind if you decide to try one out. It doesn't feel like you're using a multi FX, which was my main worry with it at first.[/quote] indeed!
