What would a passive stingray sound like?
Chiliwailer replied to Geek99's topic in General Discussion
Only issue here is that the pickup is going straight to the jack, which will sound quite different as it has no load from the vol tone. An issue with using a regular Stingray volume pot is that the value is meant for the preamp going into it, so it’s not like a passive bass’s value. I have a Aguilar pre amp in mine, whereby the pup goes to the volume pot before the preamp, so it helps the passive mode as it’s a Fender type value pot. But I still use a volume boost via a pedal to help match the signals. With the volumes matched, the passive tone is surprisingly still big sounding. -

I added a passive switch in mine - to me it sounds less compressed, and with more ‘air’ in the notes like a passive Fender if you catch my drift. Not better or worse, just different - but a Stingray for sure. -
April Composition challenge No-fool , Honest , its here
Chiliwailer replied to lurksalot's topic in Recording
Been years since I entered this comp, but just had a week off work and tentatively felt like dipping my toe in the waters here again after a 6 month break in making any music - so hoping to keep it up monthly now all being well 🤞 The tune started as an acoustic thing I was playing last weekend, of which one part is heard in the middle eight type section, but it took a turn after seeing the competition thread and then recording it....I really liked the photo, it made me think of the intensity of chaos caused by GICs and how that'd be spot on for a new pedal I'd got recently - so in this tune the GIC attack starts at around 35 seconds! -
Final price drop - £60 posted to a standard UK postcode With heavy heart, this dirty funk beast is up for sale. These pedals are nostalgic bliss for me, but its not getting enough use and I need funds for something else. They have a phat and funky filter tone, or with the sensitivity right down they give a huge and smooth sub bass. The serial number dating site has this one as 'probably made within a couple of months March 1988'. Includes a PSU lead adapter. The power supply and battery work, and it has the battery cover and the little disks on the knobs are still attached! Cheers

£80 posted to standard UK postcodes. Awesome pedal, with great variety of reverbs (and its cool that the Spring option has more drip, and shaping capability, than Holy Grail). Super useful when I had my little pedal board in action as it’s got chorus, tremolo, and echo/delay on top of a variety of very cool and useable reverb ambient effects. Comes with box and manual. No PSU, but I can chuck in a daisy chain if you want. (It just uses a standard 9v).

£65 posted to standard UK postcodes. Awesome delay - with tones designed by guys at Premier Guitar for this version 1 of the Alter Ego. Many types of delay available - Echorec (very Pink Floyd), tape, analogue, dlx memory man, digital, and more - also has a basic looper too, and tone print options. From TCE: Built On The Shoulders of a Giant Alter Ego Delay is the unique result of Andy and Aaron at ProGuitarShop getting to play around with the TonePrint software. A pure labor of love, PGS sculpted some of the most awesome delay sounds around. • Now available worldwide * • Two exclusive delay modes custom tuned by ProGuitarShop • 7 seconds of delay *Available exclusively from ProGuitarshop in North and South America Delayed World Domination When Andy and Aaron at ProGuitarShop originally did these custom tunings, they were quite exclusive - but as the sounds are so highly regarded and sought after the world over, we want everyone to be able to get them! Delay Daze Andy and Aaron at ProGuitarShop went to town on our TonePrint software like you would not believe and came up with two exclusive Toneprints that can only be found on this pedal - let's have a look. The Echorec / The DMM Setting / Seconds Nature So Pink Floyd we should have painted it pink! The Echorec is characterized by a very unique modulation. Typically when you think of delay and modulation you think of a chorusing effect. But this is more of a vibrato than a chorus. On lower settings it just adds a very subtle 3D effect, but if you care to crank up the volume it gives a nice warble, resulting in a slight Leslie type effect. You will notice this warble at around 300ms repeat time. It then morphs into some great swirling upper harmonics at higher delay time settings. A clear tribute to the Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, the DMM is a classic delay that everyone with a guitar heart is very familiar with. This tuning is very focused on capturing the nuances of the echo and mimicking the unique decay heard in its repeats. Seven seconds of delay should be more than enough for even your wildest sounds. And even at long settings, Alter Ego Delay always sounds smooth and natural. True to Tone You love tone, so do we, and our design philosophy testifies to that. So whatever route you wanna go, we got your back. With optimized headroom, True Bypass or Buffered Bypass switch and Kill-Dry on/off, this pedal guarantees optimal tonal integrity and zero loss of tone. And, no matter if the pedal is on or off your precious dry sound is always passed through the pedal unharmed in all it's pure analog glory due to an Analog-Dry-Through. Backstage Pass - All Access With Alter Ego Delay, getting tones is a cinch. Dialing in sounds is quick and intuitive and it's one of those pedals where you just can't seem to get anything else but awesome sounds. Controls the delay time, which, apart from the Slapback, can go up to 7 seconds. Determines how pronounced the effect is. From subtle ambience to total timewarp. Allows you to select quarter notes, dotted eighths or a dual delay combination of both (of which "the Edge" would very much approve). Set the number of repetitions and how much effect is fed back to the input - short and snappy or infinite soundscapes ... you decide! Sets your delay type. Makes a mean panini. Only one of these is actually true. TonePrint pedals offer both true- or buffered bypass. It simply means that no matter what your setup or situation, TC pedals give you optimal signal integrity so the 'you' in your playing shines through with unparalleled clarity and definition.

Where did you get mini me made? Brilliant 😊 Stang looks awesome btw.

It’s best not to change half way through the survey as the results will be affected, but adding the advice from @Burns-bass (if you agree) into your Methodology section would score you extra points if you self-critique; getting in there before the person marking it does

Yep - I just can’t get my head around so many prices anymore; I feel like I woke from a time capsule and the guitar world has gone nuts.

Bartolini Dual In-line Hum Cancelling replacement pickups
Chiliwailer replied to chris_b's topic in General Discussion
I think the 59J you refer to is from the Original series; they also have a Classic series version. I use a Classic series MM pickup on my Ray. I always liked the Original, but found it too dark at time, the Classic remedies that for my taste, so just a heads up that you may have another option. -

Only got 3 basses now, a Stingray first bought in 1996, a Fender CS Jazz Bass, and an Ozark Acoustic bought in 1994.
