[quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1408027792' post='2526401'] Hey, sellisnba If you can trek to Plymouth, I'd recommend getting in contact with a guy named Ian Randell. He does AWESOME setups. He's mostly a guitar teacher by day (or night) but I'd recommend checking him out. [/quote] hes an awesome dude! andy

I was never able to find one I liked, until Tom from cog suggested an clone of the old boss chorus the old brown pedal. So you could try and look at on of those? But also the Tc corona with tone print could also be worth a try

the swollen pickle is a sick fuzz, if anything gives you more bottom end! however i will say maybe check out cog effects, the tarkin bass fuzz is sick! andy

thinking that it could give me a proper deep bass heavy sound and i have a spare bass aswell, so im happy to play that at home and get a feeling for them, however are flats likely be happy on my modulus? was also considering throwing a bit of money out on a squier vm p bass for them to go on. andy

Awesome basses, if you manage to get one that has the Duncan designed pickups aswell even better! And please don't do the headstock logo! Nothing wrong with having squier on the headstock ! Andy

toying with grabbing a sr506 at the minute! andy

so first practice with the pro steels yesterday, they've got a bit of bite to them very nice strings they really work well with the jazz. def looking at grabbing some flats i think as a trial for some darker sounds andy

hi all ive used dunlop 130-45 gauge steel strings for ages! and i fancy a change, ive ordered a set of d addario pro steels for my vm 5 string as i think they sound pretty nice but not scary different, but on my mody im thinking id want a more noticeable change. now as i play metal would flats be a really stupid idea? i use alot of fuzz and when i listen to juan alderete etc the fuzz sound is nice with flats, or would i be safer trying out some half wounds? andy

Awesome, thanks man

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1407322154' post='2519391'] Here's one I knocked together quickly for you, 3 position pickup selector, and a direct to jack switch DPDT it's a bit sketchy (no values etc.) so let me know if you want more details etc. [/quote] yeh its a jazz, that idea looks spot on, and putting a adjustable resistor inline with the straight to the jack output to help take the brightness out of the signal, if i dnt like it. ill have a look a get the values of the current pots, but im not to bad with a soldering iron so i might give this a try if i can get the parts before the weekend! andy

hi guys, mods feel free to move if this isnt the right place ive noticed recently that i only ever use my bass with all pickups on full or the neck pickup off, so rather than be able to set them as the pots need replacing im thinking of taking a page from the jaguar basses and changing the pot to an on of switch! and also adding a direct to jack switch aswell so the signal goes straight out of the bass ( yeh i know this might not be a massive difference but want to try it) does anyone out there know how to do this and what i would need to grab andy

I'd say it's just a fact of more speakers which create the jump in volume,

love mine! will never be sold! its sadly out of action at the min, has had a electrical problem that i havent had a chance to sort. mine cost me 1800 new so that price isnt to insane if anything they are probs going back up to nearly new price, as i saw one go for 900 last year, for me they were in trouble after they lost flea, however he was the reason i got mine. i have played a few basses that are double the mody and they dnt come close. which is even more of a plus for my squier vm 5er as that does actually keep up with it! andy

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1407058357' post='2516901'] I had an Ampeg 610, but was mighty disappointed. I thought it would be a good compromise instead of an 810, but it was the most unmusical cab. Just sounded flat [/quote] thats interesting! i had the total opposite experiance with the ampeg, its def not a baby 810 it sounds a lot different for me it had alot of lows! and for me the tweeter was pointless! i eventually went for the ashdown mag 810 and cant speak highly enough of it! its got a big fat sound nice mid presence and it very easy to move around! so can only imagine a abm 610 being awesome! andy

well if your looking to make things a bit more crunchy id imagine you will need a small amount of dist in the pedal you get maybe a light overdrive is what you are after? the mesa flux drive is good for this at low gain it just adds a bit of hair and if you use the eq it adds a nice bit of bite! or depending on your amp you could use an eq pedal for a slight boost to the gain and treble, this will work better if you have an amp with a valve pre andy

my fave female players are Emma Anzai from sick puppies, Drog from die so fluid and a massive fan of tal! andy

videos of the whole range of lateral now on my youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2nph-mPlvZFfBPyj1ADc3Q

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2nph-mPlvZFfBPyj1ADc3Q link to my youtube lots of pedal reviews including the root all using the 810 andy

gave my singer a scare at the last gig as he just saw me in the crowd caught his eye and for a sec he was like wtf!!! then he rem i had got the wireless!

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1403854197' post='2487035'] Pics? Sound clips? Any chance? [/quote] sadly no sound clips, but there are alot on the net however. i believe its a full valve pre and a solid state power section as it feels a bit light to have valves there aswell! andy

if you like the orange ad200 an easy switch would be to grab a bass terror, the di is nice in the head aswell. andy

final got around to recording and editing some of the videos! only one more to go! heres the "Root" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3d7Ha7Ktbk the "Spore" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JisTXXNZ99k and the "Primer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En3x0L7WSXQ remember dont judge the playing to harshly! lol andy

I'd be tempted to put it at the end of everything so if you want you could add delay to any effect/ sound you have, However there are no right or wrong places so give it a try

i have found that its pretty hard to beat a nice mic infront of a cabinet, however a good cab sim would be ok. on a recent recording we tried using the di and mixing it with the mic signal but the mic alone sounded best. andy

Well the helio is def going on the board, such a sub heavy fuzz, really like it gives a dif sound to the cog Tarkin, Did a video so ppl can hear it as well Andy
