Yes. Well worth considering. I like to play fairly clean sometimes with a little fuzz and dirt thrown in. I can’t see me using much more than that and a tuner.

I use an MXR Iso-Brick, a great bit of kit from a trusted manufacturer!

 

I really like this iso brick but as @Al Krow said it’s pretty much overkill for a bedroom bassist like myself.

The muff is 9V. The other pedals that say 10V should be fine at 9 too - you never see 10V power supplies for pedals. They look like they would all be fine sharing power on a daisy chain using something like this:

Advantage of something like that is it doesn't need any space on a pedalboard.

This looks like a pretty good value option though:

The last power pack from amazon looks good. I’ve seen various similar ones listed on eBay for pretty much the same price with fairly good reviews. 

This (or an eBay) version will be the way I am going to go I think. Now I know I’m not going to fry my pedals! 

Thanks for all the help and advice. 

These are the pedals I experiment with. They all say 9v on the back apart from the chorus and envelope filter they both say use a 10v dc negative ground power supply? 

I only plan on really using the tu-3 the odb-3 and the muff mainly though. 

I like the the sound of the Harley Benton junior supply. I’ll have to google that one. 

Edit: the muff doesn’t say anything on the rear regarding voltage  

Good idea. Is it just a case of reading the voltages on the back and seeing if they are all the same? 

Thank you Al Krow. I will give the links a good old read 🤙

Hi peeps, 

ive recently amassed a small (3) collection of pedals and I’m aiming to diy or buy a little pedal board for them. 

I am after information regarding a power source for the pedals as I am sick of using 9v batteries all the time. I’ve seen various models of power bricks on line but I’m new to this. 

Will all power bricks work with all pedals or do you have to choose specific ones for certain powered pedals?

any info or links would be appreciated. 

Thank you. 

These look good. I’ve subbed and I’ll check them out. Thanks. 

As above, I’m thinking of getting myself some lessons. Looking for a competent tutor in or around the grimsby Or Dn postcode area. 

I’m guessing it’s a long shot but you never know. 

I like the ‘buy to try’ approach. I may have to employ that more often when searching online sales. 

Dangoose, I have done exactly the same as you. I waited ages to find a used Sr500l or similar but ended up going for a nos 2014 Sr500l too. It arrived last Saturday and I love the weight and feel of the neck. 

Im still a little curious about it though as I’ve noticed that it goes slightly sharp after it’s been sat for an hour or two. I had a look at the nut and to me it didn’t look finished as good as I thought it could have been, I’ve rubbed some graphite under the strings and that’s seemed to help ease it a little. 

Im also struggling to get a tone from it that I am completely happy with atm. I’m not sure if that’s because of the new strings, my crappy practice amp or I just have not found the sweet spot yet

other than the above I found the set up out to box to be pretty sweet. How was yours? 

Bought a bass muff pi from Martyn. 

No issues whatsoever.  Very well packaged. 

There are fewer more distressing sights than that 
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap 
Yeah well die in the class we were born 
Thats a class of our own my love 
Were in a class of our own my love

It sounds like stainless or maybe them coated strings would be worth trying. 

Happy new year to all

That's good news about the gig bags then. 

Yeah I've had a go on a mates ibanez sr700 and I quite fancy the sr500l. The thin neck appeals to me. I've not come across a lefty ibanez as of yet to try properly though. 

Greetings all,

I have an early 90s aria pro 2 and I'm looking to get a soft case / gig bag to transport it in. 

Are these type of bags generally generic for both left and right handed instruments or do I need to keep my eyes open for a specific left handed version? 

Also from what I've seen the general advice given when looking at a new bass is to go to a music shop and try out a few different models and makes to see what you like the feel of most. 

How do lefty beginner players get a feel for different makes of bass? I've only found one music shop in my area that had any left handed basses in and two of the three were squire p's

Many thanks. 

Edit: second question. 

Haha. Thanks Dazed. 

I must admit I've been having a peek at the effects for sale page. 

Cheers dad. That's what I'm here for. To read and learn. 

Hi all. I thought I'd drop in here and say hello. 

I found this forum on recommendation from a bass playing friend. 

Im pretty new to the bass playing scene, I've only been playing since the beginning of September this year. 

Songs I like and influences are pretty much anything from the 50's to the present day. If I like the sound of it I'll try to learn it. Some songs that I've learnt so far are:

All my loving - The Beatles 

Pure - The lightning seeds

New York City Cops - The strokes (plus one or two more strokes tunes)

Here comes your man - pixies (and most other popular pixies tunes)

Times is running out - muse 

so pretty basic stuff but I'm working at itand I have to remind myself that I only picked up the bass 3 months ago. 

Gear wise, nothing to write home about. An early 90's Aria pro 2 that I picked up and a 20w practice amp. They will do me for the time being. 

I practice each day, even if for ten minutes on an evening, splitting my time between playing and learning songs and trying to learn theory sort of stuff. 

I think that's pretty much it. Oh I'm left handed and play left handed too. 

Cheers

Ryan
