Go to a store and try all out or get your hands n a used and cheap multifx unit and explore it to find the fx's that you prefer then get decent pedals for those fx! cheers[/quote] Never really been a fan of chorus to be honest. I'd like to consider a delay pedal but I've not heard it used on bass before. I'l have a butchers on Youtube, cheers [quote name='EskimoBassist' post='1093780' date='Jan 18 2011, 01:22 PM']From personal experience, I've found a simpler octave pedal, like the MXR BOD, Boss OC-2 or the Aguilar Octomizer, is more suited to Rock music, with other more complicated harmony structures given rise to by the POG2 more suitable in an electronica outfit. Playing with just one octave below your original signal really fills out your parts and provides depth and presence in passages where you might have been lost in the mix before, such as during a heavier chorus or breakdown section. Plus the one to the above though, maybe consider a Chorus or Delay pedal? They're both hella fun! Although if I were you, I'd be looking at buying a compressor or more importantly a Pre/DI, like a Sansamp or a MXR M-80.[/quote] I quite liked the organ sounds you can get from the POG2 so it seemed more versatile, otherwise I was leaning towards the MXR. I have a EHX Bass Metaphors which essentially does the same job as the MXR M-80 but I don't really use it, it's actually in the for sale forum Thanks for the advice guys

Afternoon all, I'm currently using the following pedals: Korg Pitchblack Tuner MXR Bass Fuzz Boss DS-1 Distortion Boss PH-1r Phaser I play in a rock/blues (sort of 70's sounding) band and I've been watching clips/demos on ebay and I can't decide what to get! I was considering an Octave pedal and I particularly like the EXH POG2 after this demo because I think I can make it work in a band situation: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLCr8togHM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLCr8togHM[/url] But as always, I seek the wisdom of the guru's and my mind is completely open on this so please fire away with your suggestions! Cheers

There were quite a few places selling them, but I could never establish whether they would fit or not! In the end I postponed the search due to confusion :-) Jennifer[/quote] That is where I'm at with my search! From what I've read, standard USA guards fit the Highway. Can anyone confirm?

No-one? Come on, you must have all replaced the boring white one on your Fenders?

Thanks for the review! It made me buy one a couple of days ago. Arrived less than 24 hours later and had no instructions but if you look at the picture on the website its all pretty straight forward For the price I thoroughly recommend them too. They do exactly the same as the stands that are double the price.

Afternoon all Can anyone recommend me a shop where I can buy a replacement pickguard for my Fender Highyway 1 Precision please? I'm after a tortoiseshell one if that helps. Also, are the cheaper ones crap because shelling out over £40 for an official Fender one makes me feel a bit ill... If you know a decent Fender replacement guard, let me know. Thanks in advance!

In! I'll add you Cheers

I agree with Peaty, something for everyone on his site

I'm looking forward to my first gig with a P! I'm sure you'll be fine
