[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='259067' date='Aug 9 2008, 10:45 PM']Yes I've heard this said before, Marcus. I'd be interested in trying the Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal at some point, but I'm not into ripping out wiring and changing preamps in basses - For instance, I'm driving a 400 mile round trip this week just so Rob Green can sort the wiring on the preamp in one of my Status basses. I don't do wiring! [/quote]

It's an easy job for a tech....

about 8 solder joints should cost £20 - £25

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='259042' date='Aug 9 2008, 09:29 PM']I found that the Sadowsky outboard preamp/di pedal is an excellent solution for more than one passive bass. No need to do any wiring, just plug the bass you're using at the time in & Bob's your Auntie!

I'm actually using it with my Marcus Miller Jazz as the Sadowsky sounds fuller and richer than the onboard Fender pre.[/quote]

an astonishing difference can be made to a Miller bass by ripping out that $2 preamp and installing an Aguilar OBP1 !!

Thanks for the advice guys !

I think i'll look into the steel leather

not a bad idea that.....

[quote name='molan' post='259017' date='Aug 9 2008, 08:45 PM']In fact it's so nice I've decided to keep it!

Been playing it off and on all afternoon & decided to hang on to it after all [/quote]

Good call !!!

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='258933' date='Aug 9 2008, 05:02 PM']Yes a great pre even though I replaced it yet again with an ACG filter based pre which sounds even better (i.e. totally awsome) to me, but it's a bit more than your £100.

I'm gob smacked....... !!

I replaced a bartolini in a 97 Flea bass with an Aguilar OBP3 (18v 3 band)

Night & Day..... highly recommend the Aguilar Pre-amps

Hi Guys

Thanks for the input...... I can see there is merit in experimentation... I can see why a compressor befor the bass balls wouldn't be the right route....

Any opinions on using the 2 Apex units in line

and then the Bass balls and ODB3 in the loop ?

Mark

Hi Guys,

i've never used effects live before and am in need of some advice about how best to wire up some pedals and in what order etc

The Pedals I will be using are :

Electro Harmonix Bass Balls

Boss ODB3

Aphex Fat Bottom Exciter

Apex Punch factory (compression pedal)


Should I use them via the effects loop or inline ? on a combination ?

Should the compressor be last or first

AnyAdvice welcome

Thanks

Mark

Pleasure meeting up mate

[quote name='RaNoFuNkY' post='254782' date='Aug 4 2008, 07:00 PM']These things are great! I love mine, sounds great. And this price is an absolute steal!

Have a bump mate![/quote]

Yeah it sure is but it sure ain't moving !!!

Don't be put off by the price tag.... I guess you're thinking for £70 it's piece of Cr@p ?

you'd be very wrong indeed !!!

It's just taking up space here some come take it off me !!!

oooh lurvly !!!

Thanks for the advice guys !

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='254289' date='Aug 4 2008, 12:06 PM']I'll have it Marky boy!

Is it idiot (Warwickhunt) proof for wiring to a typical Vol/Pan/B/T set of pots.

Will the pots that it has at present drop into a Wick? Ignore that I'll figure it out when I get it

I'll PM you for details about payment etc.

[quote name='steve' post='254167' date='Aug 4 2008, 09:58 AM']is it a drop in replacement for a jazz Mark? no routing required for the battery?[/quote]

Not really...... you'll need some space for the battery and the unit itself (which isn't huge) but on most fenders you'll need some routing
