I have a CIJ Fender Mustang in CAR with the competition stripe on the side and it is a lovely bass. I have it fitted with LaBella Flats and with one of KioGon's looms and it is a really nice bass and the build quality is spot on. A shame that Fender don't offer more SC basses. I also have one of the short lived P-Bass Junior's and it is an amazing bass (shorter than 30"). As mentioned in other posts, the Squire Vista Series Musicmaster is one to keep an eye out for.

If you are going to place it at the end of your signal chain as a limiter I would go with the MXR, as it is a clean comp with a great visual representation of the amount of signal being affected by the compressor. Darkglass' comp is also an amazing pedal too. Check out [url="http://www.ovnilab.com"]http://www.ovnilab.com[/url] as mentioned by radiophonic earlier, great place to get a quality review of virtually nearly comp out there.

Thanks for all the advice. Once I get back from holiday I will give the Mustang some TLC to see if it solves the issue. Cheers!

Do you have a problem with the ones you have, or are you wanting a different look, or is it to reduce weight? [/quote] There is a slight buzz when tuned to pitch on one of the pegs and I am not a fan of the feel and, for some reason, lack of tension on the pegs. With a slight touch you can detune the strings.

Hi there, I have a CIJ Fender Mustang bass (Candy Apple Red with the competition stripe on the side) and wonder which would be some direct replacement machine heads for it. The back plates are slightly smaller than a normal Fender machine heads. Cheers!

Go for the TC if you have the cash for it. I have both the TC Polytune2 Mini and the Boss TU-3 and highly recommend both. Edit: Korg have some affordable tuners also

Squier VM P-Bass fretless (I think it's called like that). Great tone and a cool alternative to a J bass sound. Mine is super light too which is a bonus.

I have several bitsas, but the one that sees more live action is: - Fender Highway 1 P-bass body finished in nitro black - All Parts J-Bass maple neck with cream blocks. - Fender tuners. - Dimarzio pup. - Kiogon loom with series/paralel. - Badass II bridge Killer bass with piano-esque sustain. Bitsas are amazing when they come out right, I have tried combos that just didn't work for me.

Bump!

Chunk Systems Brown Dog does a nice synthy/gated sound. Good luck finding one though... Iron Ether Oxide is another good option too.

Bump!

I have one on my board and it is the best low gain OD that I have ever played through. They have released their Beta Dlx with an added boost section and expanded EQ options which I will be getting my hands on very soon

Hi all, We are looking for a drummer for a serious project based in Brighton. You can find in the link below some demos that showcase the style of the band: [url="https://soundcloud.com/user-517823524"]https://soundcloud.com/user-517823524[/url] If you are interested or know a drummer that would be, please feel free to drop me a line via basschat or send us an email to: [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] Cheers, Byron

EHX Bass Clone is not that expensive new and the youtube demo sounded really nice.

[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1489780043' post='3259859'] If ever you fancy selling that, let me know [/quote] This one is a keeper! lol

My '79 BB1200 is a P-Bass killer hands down... Lovely basses the BB series.

I have a bunch of Octave pedals and have tried many more over the years. My desert island octaver would be the EBS Octabass hands down. It always surprises me to see that none of the bass players that I follow (Juan Alderete, Janek Gwizdala...) never mention it. It tracks amazingly well when comparing it to my OC2,Octamizer or COG (which I also love) and the 3 voice switch really changes the character of the sound. I can go from a dubby/sub sound to a more punchy setting with the flick of the switch. There are so many options out there...
