    That's a better explanation than i could muster! Gigged with this on Saturday (well, tried it for a few bits on a couple of songs as we don't have much call for uber fuzz..... yet!) It's definitely well suited to bass in a live situation. When you kick it in it sounds exactly like a fuzzed up version of your normal signal (obvious i know, but it's surprising how many fuzzes don't cut it live). Seemed to sit in the same sort of frequency range as my normal sound but adds a lot more clout, in other words it doesn't get lost in the mix at all. Tons of bass too!

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='486495' date='May 12 2009, 11:12 PM']The bass in the OP reminds me of the (IIRC) Gibson RD bass... weren't they pants as well? Only joking Gibbo owners. [/quote] They weren't that great in the grand scheme of things but were one of Gibson's best basses IMHO, Probably says more about Gibson basses than that model in particular! I had a well gigged '77 RD Artist in all natural, managed shy of £500 for it which makes this look extremely overpriced

    If it's a mainstream brand then Warwick all the way. My 'Vette was under £600 new, an absolute bargain. Every inch a "proper" bass for not a lot of cash. Still one of the best necks i've ever played and looks the part as well as sounding fantastic

    Didn't i buy a Stereo Electric Mistress from you a while back? If so then they must be addictive pedals cos i sold mine on then had to buy another cos i missed it so much!

    You do look like you've had a little accident! Cracking band though

    Have a gander at my fretless: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44102"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44102[/url] Not rosewood but Pau Ferro neck and fingerboard, a lot more resistant to wear and tear (it's got Elixirs on at the moment) £450 posted i reckon

    These are all bargains but that classic Jazz is a steal! Luthier-made bass for £500?

    Btw a lot of folk get on just fine with the standard LMII, Genz 6 etc. I use a LMII and it's plenty loud enough, we have a very loud drummer too The larger power ratings of the more recent MB/Genz gear might not make too much difference either. I "upgraded" a rig a while ago to the higher rated model and it was pretty much the same!

    I saw an FNA corvette go for £276 a while back and a mint Proline recently went for £410. Also a really nice Fortress went for £390 the other week. Personally i wouldn't pay over £250 for this, but then i am tight as a nun's proverbial. Also he describes the de-fret as "a fairly professional job as far as i can tell"

    Competence

    lemmywinks replied to JPAC's topic in Bass Guitars

    Usually a few runs through at home then a few times at practice then that's pretty much it nowadays. Having said that most of our songs are pretty easy (all the best party songs are!) but we don't rehearse often. Usually we have 2 rehearsals to introduce new stuff then don't bother for a month or so. When i first started i was playing Oasis etc. at school (not my choice, but there was only 1 drummer and he liked them) so getting competent was no problem!

    [quote name='MB1' post='482289' date='May 7 2009, 06:47 PM']MB1. Where from?...... there supposed to be Twice that?...[/quote] A local guitar shop (who sadly has fallen into disrepute), i've bought a bit of stuff from him in the past (2+ grand) and bought two at the same time, one for my nephew who showed an interest in learning the guitar. Never checked the price, i'd be happy to pay that for it though. It's a lot more accurate than other portable tuners i've used and is less finicky too. Really easy to use and gets you in concert pitch in no time at all

    One of those little tool kits from the pound shop is always handy. Normal and mini screwdrivers, pliers and pincers. All rubbish quality but a life saver in an emergency

  17. lemmywinks
    Got a Seiko keyring tuner for £5.50, very accurate. Great for noodling around the house, esp as my classical guitar refuses to stay in tune for longer than 5 minutes!

    Just bought some yesterday!

    It has more than enough Fuzz for me but is controllable. Not really listened to Type O Negative i'm afraid and couldn't find a good example on Youtube of the bass sound Had another play with it last night, the square wave to pulse knob is sweet. Goes from roaring to synthy, i like!

    I actually deleted my post as i skimmed the listing and thought the 500 was the price you wanted! After i re-read the post i realised it's a bit of a price gap and i can't afford any part exes at the moment. Lovely bass though!

    I have 2 broken pedals that were left in our old practice room before it was knocked down. We soon realised how much knackered gear had accumulated in the 2 years we were there! I hate throwing stuff away but am getting sick of the sight of these so..... One is a Nobels eq/boost. This works fine but is a bit crackly and noisy. The battery cover is missing and it's a bit battered but hey, it's free! Bass, treble and level controls The other is a Danelectro Milkshake Chorus. Don't think this works, it powers on but you can't get a usable sound out of it and the knobs are missing (you can still turn the pots though). Could be good for spares something. If no-one wants em they'll end up in the bin on next Wednesday!

    I like the EHX ones. The Small Clone was nice but i preferred the Stereo Electric Mistress.

    I'm completely rubbish at computer recording unfortunately. I haven't even bothered to set my laptop sound card up yet!

    Hi all I'm selling my Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie. It's the one with the mid switch but not the "B" version. Still sounds great with bass though With the Mid switch mod they're $190, not including shipping which is $10. However the mid switch on mine is stuck in one position. Don't know how this happened, it's been in storage for a few weeks, i got it out to compare it with another pedal and the switch won't move! The pedal still works but i guess it needs a new switch. I have taken some photos of the inside. Don't know if it's a common part but here's a brief description of the switch: It's a 2 way unit with 3 contacts (only 2 are used) On one side it says MTS - 1 (or "I") On the other side it says 6A 125VAC tthen 3A 250VAC That's about as techy as i get i'm afraid! I'm thinking £55 posted? Obviously if you get it and it's totally buggered then ya can have a refund, it's completely working apart from the switch AFAIK, sound fair? Please no Paypal, cheque is fine. Don't want to give them any money if i can help it!
