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!

Thanks a lot for the help I'll look into it!

It's not like a set in stone rule or anything though [/quote] Well at the moment I'm borrowing a Marshall 4x10 combo for gigs, but I'm planning on buying my friends Ashdown EB180 head, and just need a small cab to use for smallish gigs. A 4x10 might be a bit big, and awkward to carry up and down stairs to my uni accomodation in the autumn, so I was looking into 2x10s instead

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1195297' date='Apr 11 2011, 02:09 AM']Budget? What head are you using? What style do you play? There's quite a lot of 210s out there. [/quote] Budget.. Maybe under £400/500 really. I don't really play one particular style to be honest. Haha. I just wanted to see if anyone had any particular recommendations.
