i know its not all valve! but i love my aguilar db750! sounds beastly with my 610hlf and believe me its defiantly loud enough to go past two guitarists and an insanely loud drummer. also gets gritty when you crank the gain, not to the level of say an orange ad200b, but enough that its not clean. and it sounds really nice uber clean with some chorus! when i got mine i a/b'd it with a ampeg cl and it blew it out of the water! seriously i can't say enough good things about it! andy

[quote name='Mog' post='1046635' date='Dec 3 2010, 06:02 PM']The tu-80 is a nice bit of kit but personally i'd get a pedal tuner, either a korg or boss. both excellent. For adding colour to you're sound I'd suggest a chorus pedal as a first buy, then maybe an octaver. Work you're way up to the "harsher" fx like synths gradually. Theres nothing worse than too many fx going on at once.[/quote] +1! i used to have a boss tu-2 now have a tu-3 awesome tuner and also it can power 7 other pedals! yeh chorus is a nice start ive got a crappy behringer one and it does a nice job tbh! and i think it only cost about have what a boss chorus cost or you could just get a multi effects pedal and see what effects you like plus a friend of mine has a me-50b? i think thats what it is and that has a tuner built in so you get the lot! andy

just been looking on the net, and it says to stay away from distortion in your effects loop? anyone know about the phase of a ehx metal muff? as thats what i want to blend in with my clean signal? andy

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1048288' date='Dec 5 2010, 03:03 PM']Have you tried your FX loop? On the LMII there is a jumper inside that allows you to have the FX loop series or parallel, does the DB 750 have something similar?[/quote] id totally forgot about this! ok so ill try that at practice! so im now thinking of getting an ls-2 to switch the effects in the loop will this work? also just checking that i need it in series for stomp boxes yeh? andy

need to blend a couple of effects with my clean tone, or maybe just two effects? can one or a couple of ls-2's do this? andy

okay so im also gonna throw the spector legend series in there to!? love how this looks!

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='1011007' date='Nov 3 2010, 04:32 PM']There's a nice US Peavey Cirrius 5'er in PMT Manchester @ £699 its pretty much mint too lovely bass for the money 35"scale and costs close to 2k new. I keep looking at it but 5's are not for me.[/quote] ive tried one of those and just didnt get on with it? dnt know why! played it for about an hour tho so wasnt a five minute thing. ok so im guessing that 17-17.5 is the norm string spacing, yes modulus do a wide neck but im inclined to believe that that neck as someone said would be silly huge! im thinking i may just wait it out and try and find an old sr5 me thinks? although i am still tempted by a different spec modulus? but i want something dif so i think im almost decided!? although i have just seen a warwick vampire! andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1009319' date='Nov 2 2010, 09:28 AM']The Bongo, in my view, is a very powerful flexible instrument. Nothing sounds or looks like a Bongo, and you WILL be heard in the mix. The shape is definitely growing on me. The magnets in the Bongo are neodymium. The latest 2008- Ray 5s are the alnico pups like a Ray 4, so they are much sweeter sounding, and 100% Stingray. The older Ray 5s and the Sterling 5 are ceramic magnets, and are full on aggressive bite (although they can be tamed). I personally like both. I would also love to own a Bongo 5 HH.[/quote] i like the sound of the bongo! my modulus is very loud in the mix to so its helped sort my sloppiness (a bit anyway!) so the idea of a HH bongo is a possible goer! and incase people are wandering i dnt mind the styling at all! although i do like the sound of this growl thats in older rays! whats the norm for string spacing on the sr5's? 17mm? as im used to 19mm with my mody. andy

[quote name='woodster' post='1008448' date='Nov 1 2010, 12:57 PM']Thanks for the ad [/quote] nice bass man! i immediately thought of of an sr5! as they really do seem to do it all! and yeh as some have said if i can grab something secondhand then i wont spend the whole lot that i save. anyone got a fender p 5 string? and whats peoples view of the mm bongo? andy

apart from the first bass i had! ive never felt the urge to play a fiver, but recently ive been watching alot of videos and hearing parts in my bands music where i could use the lower notes that a five string bass would give me. but as i said ive only really played one 5 string which was made by axl, and was a bad musicman copy. ive played for fun a spector six string which was nice but only played it for 5 mins so could really tell if i liked it. theres obviously the big names like musicman, zon and warwick, but alot of these i cant try with out going along way so want to kinda have a bit of info on them before i travel etc. im gonna try and save up about 2000? so basically looking for what you guys and girls would go for in the five string market with that amount to spend? i play hard rock so looking for something that would suit that, and just encase your wandering in currently playing a modulus fb4, i have considered getting a fb5 but i would be unable to try it before shelling out the money so it might be a no go. andy

[quote name='PauBass' post='1007713' date='Oct 31 2010, 07:25 PM']That's just his Fernandes Gravity bass, I have a Gravity Deluxe 5 and that's the sound, excellent bass, highly underrated in my opinion.[/quote] thats good to know! nice! andy

also love robs sound at the beginning here! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hEAmqtEJHE&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hEAmqtEJHE&feature=fvst[/url] andy

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1002888' date='Oct 27 2010, 07:21 PM']Just Crank the Treble No need for effects! haha Anyone know what teh intro might have been done with? More than Synthy? =/ maybe Is a better example? After his soloy type bit at the start, about a minute in[/quote] haha yeh bit better example of the intro! i love the little solo tone aswell tho! so clean! i love it! i think there a filter of some kind? from the link gustoO put up it would appear to be xxl, q tron and an octave pedal? but im guessing hes probs got other stuff going to? but the proper solo at the end has something else any ideas?

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1002687' date='Oct 27 2010, 04:47 PM']I had a quick squint on the internets, and found the following: [url="http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item/97/An_Inside_Look_at_Robert_Trujillos_METALLICA_Gear"]http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item..._METALLICA_Gear[/url] No mega detail, but a screenshot which shows the pedal set-up - neatly labelled, so you now know what he uses live![/quote] ok thats really helpfull! thanks! i can guess looking at the switcher the effect hes on is the top left at the beginning? again really helpfull!

[quote name='Mog' post='1002532' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:44 PM']The intro sounds kinda synthy to me. The first "solo" could be nailed with an ibby phat head. Second solo sounds filtered. How many years later and he still cant pull this off. Sloppy [/quote] yeh i think its a few effects thrown together. he misses the first bend! not sloppy imho! but please this is about his pedal setup/sound not his playing as if this is like talkbass i know where that leads! andy
