ped

Thanks for the tip, I certainly find it responds differently with my basses. I think the particular flavour of distortion suits a jazz bass really well. Maybe a bit weird but I rather like the style of the knobs too!

This look great, it's going to be so satisfying putting everything back together!

John bought a pedal and paid immediately. Thanks

New knobs on the Celinder today

They did suggest buying some of their Wonder Wipes but honestly the strings were rusty in areas I hadn't even touched, I was worried about tetanus. Perhaps they don't like the air in York! I'm glad they work for you though.

It’s a shame because I think they sound really nice but I guess this might be why nobody else uses cobalt!

Email reply from Ernie Ball: "If the bass set was rusted/corroded when you opened a new packets this would be considered a defective set. However, if the rust has developed corrosion from playing then this would not be considered a defective item" Who are they trying to kid?!

Only just been able to try this at volume and I'm super happy with it. Really rich distortion with a fuzz like characteristic when driven really hard. The character of the bass comes through really clearly. I don't know if it's because the bass is Danish as well as the pedal but it just sounds fantastic with my Jazz, from a Geddy kind of grind and upwards. The Boost switch is great fun too. The lows seem to 'bloom' and there's no loss of bass or boxy overtones.

Factor in 25% on the total price including postage and you’ll be in the right area, and may pay a bit less.

My little mustang is now blend/tone which is super 👌🏽

We always advise not to use F&F 👍🏼

My similarly modified ‘66 mustang is 56 years old tomorrow 🎂

We’ll three months later they’re properly rusty after very light home use. Sort it out Ernie ffs

I started out on a P, and worked my way ‘up’ to modern sounding active basses from the likes of Pedulla, Vigier, Smith etc. then I came back down again via a Stingray and jazz to a P again, then back up to a point where I’m happy to own a range of instruments and enjoy what they all do individually. I like the idea of having ‘my’ bass and a unique signature but more often I’m realising it just depends on my mood. Currently I’m playing only my Mustang, but in a month I’ll be gagging for some Stingray, then I’ll probably spend some weeks on a J. Each time it’s like discovering a new instrument and helps inspire me to play.

All things considered if you don’t intend to use an extension I’d get the non pro. It’s probably lighter too. I’d just like to add how annoying it is when a company won’t answer emails but they respond on social media straight away. That aside, I think the Eich stuff is great 👍🏼

I think lots of us are sleeping with your wife

Looks like Harry Enfield there!

Fantastic! I’ll have to check if I have any in my old drive. That’s kiwi in the second pic sitting down with his Smith. Man I was skinny in those days. Take me back!! Thanks for sharing the pics Nik

Love the ATK by the way, and the case it comes with looks amazing. Nice that Ibanez go to those lengths, you get a lot for your money.

Internal dimensions are here https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/urban/products/urban-bass-guitar-gig-bag It would probably fit, the ATK has a 2+2 headstock and not much body behind the bridge

I think the Fusion Urban is the best for protection, mostly because the internal 'noodle' can be stuck into position in such a way that it completely fits the contour of your bass, just like your hard case. Oh I'm selling one, fancy that! Seriously though it's so satisfying putting a bass into the case when it fits perfectly! Here's an example to show what I mean: That means you can stuff a few pedals in there between the edge of the bag and the noodle... Here's the one I'm selling if you're interested https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/468025-fusion-urban-bass-gig-bag-will-post/#comment-4793901

I know you’ve already said but for that amount of dosh and to really know what you like best and be forever* satisfied, I’d go there. 2 hours there, make your mind up, the two hours back will fly by as you glide home safe in the knowledge that you’ve got the right one. I like the grain on the ‘85 headstock. If you’re using rounds I’d go for rosewood and maple for flats IMO but these could be different!
