Nice one Tom!
Bring it over some time, I,ll fire up the ampegs.

I think it,s quite normal to use two or more distortion/overdrive pedals if you want varying sounds that involve that effect,
I use a sansamp GT2 and a EHX big muff, the GT2 for a gritty overdrive and the muff for a fat fuzzy sound.

One for the famous quotes thread!!

[quote name='Golchen' post='674758' date='Dec 5 2009, 09:40 AM']I assume that's Roachford as in the single 'cuddly toy'??

I absolutely loved that single when it came out, but I bought the album (vinyl!) and didn't connect to anything else on it at the time. Can't even remember how the rest of it sounded now. If I had a record player available I'd give it a spin right now![/quote]
Actually got the cd in front of me while reading your answer..
no way, kathleen, family man, the whole album is great!!
Just putting it on the stereo now...

andy,s a top bloke! used to rehearse at the studio I worked at.

Ditto

I,ve had this around for a couple of years and it,s been out of the box once, I,m going to put it on the bay for £300 but if anyone wants this from here I,ll take £275, It,s boxed and comes with an expression pedal and all papers, CD Rom etc.
See Pics below..
Postage to uk should be no more than £15.
:-)

Looks just like the one on the bay last week.

Thing is did they remember member member what a womble womble womble they were!

[quote name='peted' post='587279' date='Sep 2 2009, 10:02 AM']Thanks for the vote of confidence. This bass has a lot more 'firsts' for me other than the fanned frets - 6 strings, 18V pre-amp, EMGs, Singlecut shape.

All features that I've tried and liked in shops or friends basses, but never in basses I've owned myself. I'm planning for this bass to keep me locked away practicing for a very long time.[/quote]

That bass looks great and if my six stringed necks are anything to go by you,ll love playing it.

I never heard of them til late last year.. then my guitarist mentioned that Alex Lifeson loved them.. and then I bought a ticket to see them earlier this year whilst buying asia tickets online, decided not to make any effort to see or hear what they are about to make seeing them for the first time a bit more fun.
Saw them on friday..
I have a new favourite band...
If you,ve not heard them then do yourself a great favour and go see..
Got a copy of 'The Incident' yesterday and still haven,t stopped playing it.
As for 'time flies'.. Aahhhhh!!!...

ther,s also a deep impact pedal in hysteria tho trying to get the damn thing to track as well as record is another thing.

Hi!
Nope ,no build thread,, partly because everybody else has one and also because I didn,t want Jon getting any hassle from the Ric gestapo while they were being built.
You,re bang on with the backup idea, I just didn,t see the point of having a dream bass and then after breaking a string having to play the rest of the set with a different backup instrument, I play with a pick and tend to really get dug in so string breakages are a common thing for me tho I must say that the Newtone strings are really taking some punishment and still going strong.
It was Jons suggestion to use the quilted maple top and I kind of challenged him to get them looking the same but I never expected him to get it so good.
They are tuned the same F# to G and tho they feel and sound identical as each piece for each guitar was cut from the same wood, every time I tune them before a gig I tend to pick the one that seems happiest if that makes any sense.

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='574588' date='Aug 19 2009, 07:02 PM']I played spot the difference with these... I lost.
did you get 2 identical basses made or am I missing something?

BTW, BEAUTIFUL![/quote]


Cheers!
Yup! They are a matched pair, even jon doesn,t know how to tell them apart.
They are signed under the scratchplates and numbered 1 and 2, they have dual jack plugs like rics but one is for output without leds down the neck lit up and the other with the leds on.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='576920' date='Aug 21 2009, 05:46 PM']It is a Synth pedal. Creates sounds similar to the EHX Bass Micro Synth, including the octave, fuzz etc... Bonus with this is it has presets (9) I think, so you can use multiple sounds, and switch between them (including scrolling through while playing ready to select the next preset) using the foot switches. So I guess like having 9 Micro synths in a row...

Plus they didn't manufacture it for all that long so it was quite collectable anyway...

plus its the only good pedal they made :-)[/quote]


Had one, thought it was overrated, now got a unibass, much more useable.

I wondered where this thread went!.
Most people have already seen and heard about these but here they are again.

I used to have similar problems with mine, I now use a boss volume pedal and run a separate signal to the tuner from the pedal tho you could use a splitter box and do the same thing.

Lime Shark will be playing two sets this evening in the garden of the Angel Inn, Yarwell near peterborough.
All bass chatters welcome.
Free entry to all.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='562226' date='Aug 6 2009, 08:27 PM']The Judas Priest guys have just started using these, I saw them play em like 5 months ago or so. Incredible sound, can cover anything.[/quote]


They used to use gr700 guitars.

Try a MXR micro amp.

Still lots more gigs listed on the Live page.

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='556768' date='Jul 31 2009, 07:58 AM']
Want me to build you one of these?[/quote]


Goodness!
So I guess it,s a fuzz box, so what else does it do?

I simply see gear as more tools to do my job as for my e-penis well fi it,s not up to scratch then never mind.
I thought I,d seen that pedal befre tho, wouldn,t mind trying it myself.
