    [quote name='truegeminis' post='185270' date='Apr 25 2008, 01:30 PM']Has anyone used the Subdecay Echobox?

    From the mp3s I've heard, I like it. Just wondered if anyone has any opinions on it?[/quote]

    Tayste will be along shortly :)

    Bending back my left thumb

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted

    I've been experimenting trying to fret notes without having my thumb on the back of the neck. It feels weird to say the least :)

    On another note, my left thumb actually bends backwards 90 degrees at the middle joint (not the joint where your thumb meets your hand). It's completely painless, so I don't even really know it's happening when I play.

    Which Compressor.......again!

    I have one of these too, and they are awesome, awesome compressors.

    Dave sold me a killer bass, and makes a killer cup o' tea :huh:

    Cheers Dave for a very positive transaction. Couldn't be happier!! (not unless you'd chucked in the Duck Dunn as well - but that's being rather optimistic!! :) )

    Digitech Whammy... what's the point?

    [quote name='cheddatom' post='179610' date='Apr 18 2008, 11:19 AM']I haven't been able to try a WH-1, have you tried an XP-100 Higgie? I think it has a nice long sweep range and a much nicer tone than the WH-4.[/quote]

    I havent tried it, and I have heard good things about it. It also has the 5th^/Oct^ setting, for those who don't want to shell out for the Bass Whammy. But I;ve heard stories of the Bass overdriving the unit, as it has an input gain knob that can be very fiddly to tweak. I wanted no nonsense operation so I sprang for the WH-1. Just plug in, choose your setting, and sweep away :)

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='178983' date='Apr 17 2008, 04:08 PM']just out of interest, sound/build quality wise, what would be the advantages of buying this over a brand new fender japan/highway 1 precision?[/quote]

    My dad has a JV Precision and used to haver a JV Jazz. They are absolutely superb basses - I played the precision at a Jam night last night through my dad's Markbass LMII and 2 MB 1x15s....Punch City.

    I really didn't like the EX-7 - It didn't seem to track too badly, but A) I tried it with guitar, and B ) the feel of the treadle under your foot really wasn't the best. The WH-4 [i]feels[/i] better, but the sweep range is really limited. The WH-1 has the largest sweep range of the lot, tracks superbly, and ultimately, just sounds a bit warmer and less cold and digital (despite being a digital pedal itself).

    If you're after a Whammy, and want the best performance from it, I really would recommend saving up the pennies for an original. It's soooo much smaller than the re-issue too. My face actually did this the first time I saw one in real life: :)

    [quote name='Silent Fly' post='178888' date='Apr 17 2008, 02:50 PM']I am a little bit confused...

    Digitech Whammy £121
    Digitech Expression Factory (EX-7) £100
    Digitech RP350 £119

    I understand that the Digitech Whammy can do a little bit more of the EX-7 and RP350 in terms of intervals but there is no comparison between the Whammy and the other two regarding the other functionalities.

    RP350 is for guitar but if it works like the other Digitech multi-fx units, as far as the cab/amp models are switched off, it works great with bass. Apart from the Whammy included in the RP350 there are reverbs, modulations, delays…

    The distortion functions of the EX-7 can be switched off leaving a pedal with Whammy + other 6 expression-pedal functions.

    I am wondering… what’s the point on buying the Whammy when with the same money (or less) I can have much more? Am I missing something?[/quote]

    The Whammy has about 20 Pitch shifting and Harmony functions?

    The EX-7 only has the 2 octave sweep mode IIRC, and the RP350 surely won't have all the features of the Whammy either. Not to mention it's probably more sturdy than the RP350 too.

    Edit: Just thought I would say, I've owned the WH-4, I tried the EX-7 in the shop, and I currently own a WH-1, which as Ant says, is indeed King.

    We must have similar tastes! I have an iAmp 600 too, and was thinking of trying to get something that coloured my sound a bit more! (Funnily enough I was also thinking of the Aguilar AG500!)

    Have a bump for a great Amp, and at a great price too! This amp is well worth your money folks!!
