  1. Thanks for the replies, much appreciated
  2. So, I am looking at switching as many of my pedals as possible to mini pedals as my pedal board is becoming too big and weighty. I now have my chorus pedal and EQ pedals sorted so am now looking for an overdrive pedal, what is out there that has a small footprint but doesn't lose low end? I would like to keep the cost below £100 but preferably I love a bargain so the more inexpensive the better. I see there are a lot of of mini overdrive pedals out there but they all seem to be made for guitar. Thanks
  3. "Zak made a few mistakes and he has apologised" 🤣 I know they are a professional band but the guy is human like the rest of them, I'm sure the others aren't flawless 100% of the time especially as Roger Daltrey himself has admitted that his hearing has seen better days. Sounds like maybe they have realised that they were being twats and are now looking to do a u turn in the least embarrassing way possible.
  4. I haven't heard them with Pino so I can not offer an informed opinion but doesn't Pino use flatwounds? Surely that has to be the polar opposite of what The Who would want for there sound?
  5. So, I got a set of these in medium scale for my Ibanez AGB200, put the strings on and then noticed some buzz on the D string, had a look and the other strings are fine but the D string taper starts between the nut and the 1st fret, either they have packed a short scale string or that is some seriously shoddy quality control.
  6. Looks good, have you used it?
  7. Am looking at getting a new Chorus pedal and not sure that to get. I have a Behringer Chorus pedal (ultra chorus) but to my ears it sounds like quite a warm chorus and I am after something a bit more shimmery and icy sounding. I like the look of the EHX Clone theory but I am a cheapskate when it comes to pedals when I know that they will only be used for a small handful of songs in my bands setlist so am wondering if there is something that can do the job for less money. I know Joyo have a few chorus pedals but I have found very little online about how they sound on bass Thanks
  8. Cool, how is the clone theory? I love Joy Division and I love Peter Hook's bass tone so have been considering getting a clone theory.
  9. Thanks for the replies, I thought 2 chorus pedals was good, tried an overdrive in front of the chorus pedals, wow!!!! What a great sound!!!
  10. Last night's gig went well, first gig with the new band, couple of bum notes but we were popular enough to do an encore and get asked to do another gig for the venue

  11. Is it just me or do strings feel a little bit rougher when they are new? Always find new strings feel a bit rough until they break in

      I suspect there’s little “polishing” smooth caused by finger friction and rather wonder that finger gunk and grease embedded in the material acts as a lubricant.

  12. Yes, I emailed Rotosound to suggest maybe they should also have them available in a lighter gauge than 100-40, they responded and politely said it wasn't something they were considering doing, shame as they do have a nice unique tone to them but they are just too stiff.
  13. Thank you, has been a nightmare trying to find a case so this is much appreciated
  14. Hi I have recently brought an Ibanez AGB200 Ibanez AGB200 and is a lovely bass but I cannot find a hardcase for it. I have emailed Gear4music and Andertons and they have said that the specific Ibanez case is not available to the UK and they do not know which other cases will fit. Hoping someone here can advise on a hardcase that will fit, as this bass will be loaded into a van for gigs it has to be a hardcase Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help with this

  16. Hi all, I am a complete noob to iem (I know nothing at all about them) I currently use ear plugs when I play gigs, are there any iem's that will do the job of enabling me to hear myself but also protect my hearing? Or am I better off just sticking with ear plugs and eq'ing in some extra mids to enable me to hear myself better? Thank you
  17. Ok so I tried it, fortunately my chorus pedal is a cheapy so I was able to try it out with minimal cost involved. I like it, stacked 2 pedals, similar sound to one on its own but a more intense effect.
  18. Hi Just wanted to know if stacking 2 of the same chorus pedal with the same settings on each will give a more intense effect than just using the one pedal ? Thanks
  19. I am tempted by the Artcore AGB200, there's a lot to like, SG body shape, binding, short scale, the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is that I am not after a thumpy tone so I suspect I would need to use quite a lot of EQ to get my current mid heavy tone but for £500ish I am still really tempted.
  20. No, more like the bass part at the end of this song is more what I'm going for YouTube - Monaco - what do you want from me
  21. Thank you for the no nonsense reply, just saved me the cost of the pedal
  22. Does anyone have experience with this pedal? My band has a couple of songs where the bass goes really high up the neck, I have a bass with 24 frets but I would rather just take one bass to rehearsals and gigs, how is the octave up function on this and is it good enough that I could use it to go up an octave on a bass solo? Thanks
  23. Hi I am interested in these strings, am after something low tension, I know these are supposed to be lower tension than average but how much lower? For example would a 100-40 nickel set of these be similar tension to your average 95-40 set of nickel rounds?(average being something like Daddario XL or Fender Nickel) thank you
  24. Thanks for the replies, I ended up going with a cheapie option for now, the Hofner shorty, is actually pretty good for the money, setup is good, action is low, sounds surprisingly full considering the placement of the pickup. I may get something higher end in time but this is good for now
  25. Thanks for the replies, I am seriously tempted by the Ibanez talman short scale 5 string.... But... Will I be able to get along with a 5 string?
