Hey! I've had a Boss ODB-3 for ages but rarely use it as I snapped the volume knob off a while back, i can still turn it with a screwdriver... but that's not ideal. So I'm looking to repair it properly myself, I still have the plastic cap of the control. I've done a bit of research but thought I'd also ask here. Will it be hard to replace the pot? Or should I just take it somewhere to get fixed? Thanks

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1446757560' post='2902192'] EQing back in freq.s that have been taken out is hard. Id suggest either look at using a loop pedal with a blend, or getting it MODed to let more low end threw (though youd have to find someone else to help there). [/quote] Yeah, I was thinking it would perhaps not sound quite the same. I did ask yesterday about where/who can do bass-boosting type mods on drive type pedals but didn't get an answer

So I recently bought a 1980 Little Big Muff, it sounds good with bass but I feel like in a live setting it could do with a bit more low end. I also really want to get a Rat but I've heard people having similar issues. I've never used an EQ pedal with bass before, anyone have any suggestions for which ones are good for this kind of thing? And also would they be better before or after any dirty pedals (I'd assume before, but I see a lot of people use after.) Thanks!

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1446676430' post='2901468'] The simplest bass mod for increased low end response on a RAT just needs a pair of wire cutters. Give this a go: [url="http://www.diyguitaramp.com/rat.html"]http://www.diyguitaramp.com/rat.html[/url] You can cut either end of the resistor indicated by the photos in this article; the outcome is the same. [/quote] I'll have a look, thanks

Hi there, First post, so apologies if this is in the wrong section or anything. I'm looking to buy my friend's Pro Co Rat (it's a II i believe), a lot of demos I've heard suggest it'll produce the tone I'm looking for, as a dirtier alternative to my Way Huge Pork Loin which I have as a gentler drive. However I hear Rats can suck a lot of low end from your tone.. I've read a few people on old forums say they've gotten theirs modded to keep more low end. Was wondering if anyone knew anyone/a place that can perhaps do a mod like this for me? How much would it cost etc.? I'm based in Luton (30miles from London) Cheers!

Hi! The metal part ([font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]Mechanical Potentiometer) under the Volume dial snapped off my Boss ODB-3. I got a good quote for a new part but I looked inside and it looks pretty difficult to replace, or even get to the old one as there is so much blocking the way. Does anyone know any decent places to sort a problem like this I don't know where to start.. Thanks[/size][/font]

Been looking to try out a SansAmp Bass Driver DI for a while now as from what I've heard and seen they're pretty awesome! But while I'm still looking I wondered if anybody knew of any other, perhaps cheaper alternatives? Cheers guys

I recently bought a 2nd hand (but perfect condition) Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray (NOT Sterling) for £700! Sunburst body, black pickguard, maple fingerboard, 2EQ and like I said mint condition. Basically my perfect bass for a stupid price. Couldn't believe it! If you just look around you can get the real deal for perhaps less than a Sterling.

Haha I just don't really have one particular style I play. I play a MusicMan Stingray if that helps at all, I like a bright sound. Well I could spend more if I saved, I just don't particularly want to as it would only be for like I said, small gigs, practising etc as I'll be busy with Uni stuff. Cheers for the recommendations I'll check them out!
