+1 for the Producer Placebo Box. It reminds me of guitarist's amp controls. He turns them & it sounds no different. I did a little investigating & discovered a dial on the back of his amp that says wattage below it, set to max of course... I suspect this being the only thing on the amp that can adjust the noise he produces in rehearsals!

I've just noticed on the Bass Centre's website they have em. [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/[/url] £258 is a slightly better price for the synth.

Not sure about the Boomstick, but 98% of pedals have a - tip (Moog's are + tip). You might want to check this.

Sorely tempted to get the Synth, but I'll wait until there's been a couple of reviews. Anyone able to go to the GAK shoppe & see if they has em?

I think the Little Giants was advertised over a year in advance! That's being keen.

[url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals[/url] Very interested in the Super Synth!

I might have a look at these. & here's me thinking they run out of T's & only had N's left.

I don't have a 5 (yet), but if I was to play something in G (which quite a few of our songs are) I'd most likely be using the low B, C & D within what I'm playing (one of the reasons I want one). & Monz' reason for having one is pure class. I think the drummer would be the only person who likes it.

Get yourself a moogerfooger 101 & exp pedal and get a good dirty fuzz & that should be you. If you plan on having an overdriven sound all the time, then the mf101 does a very good analogue distortion (drive).

[quote]To get a bit of elevation I like to stick my cab on top of the g**tarist's combo. Sounds crap of course but really p*sses him off[/quote] That is a genius idea! I'm gonna have to try it. ^_^

I voted the 4th option. I always prefer to spend that bit extra to get something that's well made & is going to play and sound good. I was interested in getting a Rockbass at one point as on paper they should be good. I went & tried one & was shocked at how cr@p it was made. I've tried other basses of similar price that don't have a "heritage" type label (Ibanez etc) & found these can be in a higher league than basses with a label costing twice as much.

I tried a Rockbass Corvette in Reverb about a year ago & was seriously disappointed with the build quality. It buzzed a little & the parts on it felt so brittle & was noisy to turn. Tried a Warwick $$ & was a totally different instrument (kinda expected that). If you want a Vette, I'd save up a bit longer for a Warwick.

Good stuff. Glad to be wrong for a change You should try both a 2x10 & a 1x15 ext cab to see what one you like the best with your combo.

I've no experience with your combo, but I don't think you can plug an ext cab into the EB series. I'd check there's an output for speakers round the back.

God knows where I got Fife from I'd been looking at maps for most of the morning (planning a drive). I've never heard of Moon for ages & didn't know he was still building. I might have a wee search later.

Hello, that's a very nice collection you have there. Would that be the John Taylor that played in DuranDuran?

[quote]The combo sounds great on its own, I'm just thinking about moving a bit more air and keeping plenty of clarity at loud gig volumes. This will be gigged in place of a traditional 4x10, [b]1x50[/b] stack - so I need good punch and loudness without feeling like I'm thrashing it.[/quote] You have a 1x50? You could stack your band on that puppy! After a year of using my MB combo I find I have the bass at @ 1 oclock, midbass on 10-11 oclock & mid & treble on flat. The VLE at @10 oclock & the VPF is near enough off. Gets a really good bassy sound from my bass & still has top end clarity whenever I slap or dust the higher end.

The word "Chavvy" has been used for decades by folk from the fairground to refer to "not so clever" or "pesant behaving" males. Which IMO seems to tie in well with the people who get classed as chavs.

Never understood why the homosexuals stole or adopted the word "gay", or was it just some PC F@*kwit trying to be PC? They can be bright and cheerful if they want Just don't prod my poo

Jeez that vid makes me feel old! Still one of the best bands ever.

I tried a CS3 (unmodded) last night & it's one noisy muvva! Think I wont be bothering with a compressor as all it seems to do is add noise. I knew the unmodded would remove some bass but this was a surprise when the 7th fret A string had more bass than an open E (much more). & as for the sustainer feature, I think you'd need some verrrrry high end gear to be able to use that (makes it pointless really). Just my opinion on compressors after wanting one for so long.

Have you tried the TC cabs? They do a 2x10 & a 2x12 & have the potential on paper. I haven't tried any of their stuff so can only go on what I've read.

The joys of picking a good band name, hard isn't it! My band started off as Daddio, then JamJar & after several crap names ended up at Frigorifico. I can't pronounce my Rs, so I think my singer (who came up with the name) is taking the peepee. I do like the name tho.
