No problem. Thanks for clarification Dad.

If it helps, I'll shortly be making my way to north Devon via Somerset, though I am not sure I will have room in the car, and I'll have the children with me so stopping for a couple of hours gassing wouldn't be great,

I can't see a definitive statement, All I can see is "output  100W, Speaker Outputs    3 x Jack 8/4/2 Ohm"

So I would interpret that as yes.

Thanks for looking,
Paul.

I have a Sandberg Panther Special 4 stringer - NOT for sale. These are blooming lovely!

GLWTS!

Price drop bump

Is there another Pirates Of The Caribbean film in the pipeline?

A lot of this depends upon what tone you are looking for. If you want clean, higher master, lower initial gain gives you cleaner.

If you want dirt, the easy way to do it is input high, master low.

if you really want dirt, open everything up! Drive input AND power stages.

Trouble is, I don't much care for the shape of Warwick basses. But I do like the shape of Spector basses, so pick the bones out of that! 

I thought I was the only one that thought that...

Are those schaller straplock buttons? Wouldn't want to damage the finish.

Pine weasel has it.

Lovely!

The other thing you can do - where are you seeing players like that and what level are they? If smaller venues and predominantly hobby bands (by that I mean people with day jobs mainly gigging for the love of it) they are often very approachable and welcome some interest. Say hi, say something nice about them/the band and ask directly about their pedal board.

Money no object answer would be the grace felix.

Whereabouts are you? If in striking distance of Bolton, I'd be happy for you to drop by and have a play.

Some of my gear is way above budget, but would give ideas.
Ashdown CTM100, Fender Bassman 135, Ashdown spyder 330, two notes lebass, barefaced Big Baby cab.

That look reasonably cool La Bam - I remembered what I had seen with two DI outs, and is't just a preamp, and costs a shedload more than that MB

OK, What do you really need?

Do you mean two separate channels, similar to an old Fender Bassman/HH Bassmachine/Peavey Mk IV/ Walter Woods/Warwick LWA1000? separate EQ?

What do you mean by two outputs? Do you mean channel1 -> EQ1 -> speaker output1/Channel 2 -> EQ2 -> speaker output 2 - if so that's probably two amps you want. 

I have it in my head that I have seen a two channel amp that had two line level outs, but can't for the life of me remember what it was...

Paul.

That sounds great - if I didn't already have too many valve bass amps...

Thanks - I thought that may be the case but was worth asking just in case I had missed something obvious.

Price dropped - it is possible to update the "official" price?

This pedal has a very useful blend like the EHX soul food

I must admit I rather like blending some of the clean signal in - even with heavy levels of drive it keeps some definition.

The tidepool colour looks to me like it should be accompanied with acres of chrome, and have a badge like "Cadillac" on it.

Surprised the suggestion wasn't "one of each"

Can't decide if I prefer the Sonic Red, Buttercream or tidepool.

Yes indeed missed by many a band. 

 

One huge problem is with certain musicians who are under the mysterious spell of thinking that things only sound good  when REALLY loud. "My valve amp sounds better cranked" and "I can't get the tone out of my kit if I play lightly" I have heard oh so often. Thing is, I agree that certain equipment does indeed sound awesome loud, but are totally overkill for 90% of gigs. That Marshall 100W and 4x12 cabinet doesn't start to do that beautiful compression characteristic until the valves are working hard and the speaker cones are near their limits. By that point, the volume is tinnitus incurring. So, for the most part, that kit is the wrong kit for the job at the Dog and Duck on a Friday night. 

I have done a fair few gigs as sound guy. The number of times I was unable to get a good mix was surprising. A cranked Fender twin causes problems in even medium sized venues, and if not tilted it beams out even at quite big gigs.

I must dig out your old 330 and give it a blast...

I have a Thunder 1A fretless in black that I bought new. Not played it for many years - it's packed a little out of the way.

My dad made a hard case for it!
