Rise of the living thread alert! I've been toying with a set of side LEDs for the old Stingray, and was considering going the Fret FX route. I checked their website and dropped them an email, but as I've not had a reply yet and their website looks like it was created about 10 years ago (all that was missing was a "look us up on MySpace" link!), I've got to ask- are these guys still in business? If not, is there anywhere else that does these quick to install LEDs?

Thanks for the advice people, lots to consider here! I reckon I'll just keep an eye on the marketplace for a whie and see what comes up!

Right, as part of my major rig upgrade, I'm contemplating getting rid of the GT6B as it all seems a bit of overkill and I barely begin to scratch the surface of what it can do. I am hoping that with the imminent arrival of my TC Electronics Blacksmith head all my overdrive/pre-amp boost/compression requirements will be sorted out. I figure that leaves me with delay and chorus (and possibly octaver) to sort out - I'm already using a Digitech BSW, but mainly to piss off the guitarist (is there any better reason?), so the synth and wah is sorted. So, my question to you - what's the best stompboxes out there to give me what I need? I really don't want to go to boutique prices (with my recent purchases I may regret downsizing the cabs because if I spend much more the mrs might make me live in one!), so say around £100 per pedal. So far I'm liking what I hear about the EBS Unichorus and Octabass, but they're kinda out of the budget. So, not too much to ask for, I know, but anything else out there that can give me what they do at around half the price?

Hey all I've decided that it's time I stop with the very occasional posts in the marketplace and get more involved in the forum. Name's Gerry (aka sharky), and I've been playing for...well, lets just say it's been a while! Around 20 years ago I decided it was time to get a serious bass, so I set aside the Westone Super Headless (remember those?!!) for a new EBMM Stingray, and it's been my weapon of choice ever since. It still sounds like chili'd honey and is, for my money, the best guitar I've ever played. I've got a Stingray 5 and Sterling SUB which I use as backup, and just got rid of my Streamer 5 as I never really got on with it. Everything goes through a Roland GT6B, with a Digitech BSW added to the setup for shits and giggles. On the rig front, I've just put together my ultimate set-up. I've been using an Ashdown Little Giant (1000W) into a Warwick WCA115ND and what started as a Behringer 2x10 but which quickly had the speakers swapped out for a couple of Eminence. I've just recently picked up a Schroeder 1212L from the marketplace (thanks Chris, it's bloody great!), and in my upgrade frenzy, I've now added another Schroeder, this time a 15L, currently winging its way across the Atlantic. Now, worried that the amp just won't cut it with such great cabs, I've just today treated myself to a TC Electronics Blacksmith. Can't wait to that arrives to give it a good workout!
