[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1484041320' post='3212080'] Chord BEQ-50 ? Great build quality 7 band bass eq. Good Prices. [/quote] The GLX / Harley Benton "Boss Clone" isn't bad and cheap as chips. I've a 'Red Sub' EQ in my cupboard - but it's not a Boss sized pedal.

[quote name='Hot Tub' timestamp='1483865522' post='3210633'] I like the sound of that - could be what I'm looking for. Thank you! [/quote] No problem! I prefer the Deluxe version out of the two available models, it has a gain boost foot switch for extra sizzle should you need it part way through a song.

My 'go to' drive & clean pedal is the EBS Billy Sheehan Deluxe pedal. The beauty of this one is that it has two effects loops on it too and a compressor. You can say add octave and chorus on the clean side but have just envelope filter on the distortion side, then mix it all together for one big sound going in to a fat EQ section. That'd be my suggestion anyway!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1483823394' post='3210475'] I looked into this once. There was a lot of complicated form-filling and grey areas involved, so I decided against it. I hope you can make sense of it.... [/quote] Yup, indeed! You need a Waybill Number from the original importing of the device to send the item back under a 'repair code' on the paperwork. When that has been done then the manufacturer needs the same information to send it back to you to ensure you don't pay twice. Of course the problem is always with getting the original details and then a courier who actually knows how to deal with the forms correctly. I had one enormous balls-up from one courier who I got so frustrated with, it was easier to cough up the extra. Never again!

I've reviewed said bass. Actually a nice piece of work from Cort. I'd liked to have played the 5 string version too but didn't have the opportunity.

The EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive has a drive circuit and the kind of compressor you are asking for built in. I'd recommend the Deluxe version too. I have one on my own board and use it mostly as a subtle enhancement rather than a full bore distortion - but it will do both. And no, it doesn't 'just' sound like Billy Sheehan, it is capable of way more. One of my very favourite drive pedals for bass. It also has the ability to blend the clean signal in but also an effects loop each for the dry signal path and distortion path - all in one pedal. I love the DarkGlass stuff too, but the Ultra models are beyond my reach right now.

My cheeky trick is to buy D'Addario Balanced Tension sets anyway as they are brilliant. The E string is a 107! So it's a little heavier as standard so no need to go out and buy separates. It Drops to D nicely on my 4 string 34"ers.

[quote name='Max Normal' timestamp='1483467425' post='3207390'] Thanks for your suggestions guys. I'm checking out video reviews for those pedals right now. Also looking at the MXR M89 which looks good bang for the buck and has a blend knob. [/quote] Tough choice, I love Darkglass and the EBS Sheehan pedals. I've got the Sheehan Deluxe on my board now and I love it. I do miss the addition of the EQ on board the Vintage Deluxe I had, but it's not a big problem as my effects unit has a big parametric EQ on it anyway. I've reviewed a number of Darkglass pedals and both the Sheehan pedals. They all do their thing very well and are at the top of of drive pedal list. I really liked the new Vintage Ultra, that's really nice and I'd like one of those on my board. I've not had the B7k Ultra in my paws yet... or the new amp for that matter!! DOUG!!!!!

Ha!!!! Man! I love it! Cracking bass! Great features and certainly going to be eye catching! Congratulations!!

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1481286012' post='3191201'] I have a Bassworld sticker on my bass case. [/quote] I think I still have a BassWorld logo featuring my Shuker 7 string!

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1481238652' post='3190976'] I joined bassworld back in 2002 when there were less than 100 members. I've seen it morph through various incarnations. If you search though web archives there is a snapshot of what bassworld was like. [/quote] Yes indeed! I too have been on board since BassWorld v.1 The Early Years. I think we actually knew everyone by their actual names back then too!!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1482787280' post='3202770'] Like maybe you've not seen him before. Awsome stuff and a great talent. Pity it's been lost along the way. [media]http://youtu.be/wW9Saj9V-js[/media] [/quote] And now it makes [i]so[/i] much more sense.

Well there bridge and knobs definitely aren't stock so could be that. Standard radius and Fender pickguard. It could be the black knobs and the bridge is a bit shiny for a real 1976er.

https://instagram.com/p/BDWIPHykbpN/ Hopefully this link will work via my mobile. Funnily, I have a really nice Fender neck here that I am looking for a CIJ Alder body. That's taking a bit of time to find I can tell you as I want a natural one!

Would you take a very close 'law suit' model as an option Shambo? As an example, I have a 76 model and when it came to do some upgrades I just put official Fender parts on. The thing that made me chuckle is that the pickguard I put on the bass didn't need any new holes drilling! You don't even get that between Fender's own models he he! I'll post a picture of my own Ash/Maple beauty in a bit.

Derek Smalls' Burning Earth Bass by Lakland... Well, if there's space for a couple more!!! https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/72/f35329a4fa36c27292b953c8f6d8d47f/full.jpg
