  1. I was litterally going to buy one of these last week but it’s out of my price range just now. Disn’t Know kenny’s had them at 429!! Might have to go to Glasgow to try one. How is it for low volumes? Is it loud right from one? Or can it hit 3+ on the volume before it hits real levels? thanks
  2. Is there anyone that can give me some advice on recommendations i’m Currently looking for a bass amp head to go with my Hartke HyDrive 112. I don’t gig right now so what I’m looking for is an amp head that has good recording out options & is quiet enough for Home practise. The mark bass amps are perfect for playing at low volume and can be cranked but defiantly not the tone I’m looking for. I prefer the ampeg/Hartke/ g&k punchier tone. I play both active and passive basses. thanks for your help
  3. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1501086754' post='3342408'] You missed:[list] [*]Dunlop Mini Bass Wah [*]Hotone Bass Press [*]AMT Alien Girl Bass Wah [*]G-Lab Bass Wowee [*]Sonuus Wahoo [*]Real McCoy RMC9-Bass Eqwahlyzer [*]Wilson Bass Wah [*]Wilson Freaker Wah [*]Source Audio Manta + Expression pedal [*](in fact tons of envelope filter with expression input, such as the Wonderlove) [/list] I'm currently using the Hotone Bass Press, it's decent, cheap, tiny, and triples as an expression or volume pedal. It sounds better than the mini AMT wah too. [/quote] Wilson Freaker Wah, never heard of the brand before but loving the videos so far, may have to invest in one soon
  4. [quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1501087824' post='3342417'] It's become something of a standard on a lot of pedals these days but something I'd want would be a blend control. The 105q was really cool when put into a clean blend loop but unless you used dirt I just didn't did its tone. [/quote] A blend control now that's someone original for a wah
  5. [quote name='Johnny Wishbone' timestamp='1501083638' post='3342363'] 105Q is as close as I've found to perfect (for me), in that it's auto-switching and has controls for adjusting the Q and volume boost. Negatives are the crap buffered bypass (I'm not a true-bypass purist but the Dunlop buffer is a tone killer), the fact that there is a pre-set effect delay (which you can of course turn off with the internal trimmer, but why have it in the first place?!?!?) and the sheer weight of the chassis. Robust build quality is an obvious must, but surely it doesn't have to weigh as much as that? For me, the controls on the outside is both a plus and minus - makes it easier and less fiddly to set up and fine-tune, but they can get knocked easily if not protected in a flight case or similar. On balance, having them on the inside is probably [i]slightly[/i] better. Built-in fuzz would be a no from me, but a small footprint would be a definite advantage - I'd never buy a Morley as they take up way too much room with the massive baseplate. [/quote] I'd agree that the 105q is a beast for it's build and features, also I'm not a true bypass nut either. But I feel the 105q was never powerful enough for me. Great for funky, not so much for rock and metal. Always had the feeling like most bass players use it due to lack of other options. I've also dabbles with the rare Dunlop octive wah on bass. Add some fuzz to it and it's an incredibly powerful scream. I may have to make an all in one version.
  6. [quote name='NoirBass' timestamp='1501083977' post='3342369'] I'm not a great wah user, but by far the best I've ever tried was the EBS Stanly Clarke sig wah: http://ebssweden.com/content2/ebs-stanley-clarke-signature-wahtone-filter/ [/quote] It's one I've never tried but I'll add it to the list
  7. [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1501083749' post='3342367'] Check out the MSD Earthquaker Bass Wah. I've got one and it's great! [/quote] Thank I'll give it a try
  8. Oh and if this kind of post isn't aloud then please delete Thanks everyone
  9. Perfect bass wah Ok every I need your help, I am so fed up with all the bass wah’s on the market that I have decided to build my own and use it as the first pedal to launch my company. I have been building and modding pedals for a few years now. My problem is that no one pedal seams to be the perfect solution for bass. So I have gathered pretty much every bass wah I can think of to test and build the best features into one, a bass wah by bass players for bass players So far I have gathered ESB bass wah one Dunlop 105q bass wah Dunlop original bass wah (gb-100) Dunlop geezer butler wah (just pre ordered) Morley dual bass wah Morley cliff Burton wah Morley power boost what (what cliff actually used on RTL & MOP) Dunlop 535q (used by a few bassists) Electro harmonix crying bass wah (worst of the lot right?) Boss dynamic wah Ibanez wearing demon Is there any I have missed I should be trying? This project is already costing me a little bit but hopefully I should be able to make a bass wah and With the plan of not charging boutique prices £50 of parts should never be sold for £300 cough cough darkglass (apple of the pedal world right 😂) Just kiddin dark glass are great 👌🏼 So What features does everyone love or hate about these pedals? True bypass? Separate switch to turn on? Toe down to turn on or 105q style of always on and returns back when foot is lifted? Built in fuzz? Variable controls inside or outside? Should the sweep be more or less than the dunlop or Morley? What features would you’s like to see on a bass wah? Powerful like cliff Burton or funky like the 105q or EBS? How low does everyone tune? Does anyone play a 6 string? Any help or advice would be appreciated. As much as I love MXR and most my pedal board contains the bass innovations lineup I can’t stand the lack of bass good bass wah’s available to bass players.
