Anything cheaper? I was looking at [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=212"]this Ashdown[/url]?

I need a small, portable box that I can plug into a head, cab or PA and still sound good. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

All the non-MXR (which is what matters) demos I have heard sound really dry and thin. I dunno if that's just bad camera quality, but it's a pretty a consistent problem. I'll check one out in a shop at some point. Oh and could I use the distortion mode on an OC3 to achieve the same kind of sound?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='603290' date='Sep 20 2009, 02:06 AM']You ultimately want a Sovtek Big Muff. Other obvious choices are the Way Huge Swollen Pickle, Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie 'B', Fuzzrocious Green Stache, or the EHX Bass Big Muff. But the recent EHX box is the last one I'd consider. I snipped your budget out of your post because if it's that green Muff sound you want, your budget becomes fairly irrelevant given that only the EHX Bass Big Muff would turn up in your price bracket. Incidentally out of those pedals above the Pickle Pie 'B' and the EHX Bass Muff have blend knobs, the others don't. I can also vouch for the Pickle Pie 'B' being a bloody wonderful Muff-a-like and the blend on it works great. But if you have to order one expect delays - I don't think Matt is all that into making pedals full-time. But he does do quality work.[/quote] Are you referring to the EHX Bass Big Muff Pi? Cos I see no blend knob on that. And where can I get the Pickle Pie B off the internet?

[quote name='Silent Fly' post='603138' date='Sep 19 2009, 08:44 PM']Never tried it but I must admit it does look cool [/quote] The ovnilabs guy doesn't seem into it, but it looks like a nice idea.

Thanks man. I'm looking into that. Depending on that, which is better: A Bass Big Muff or a Little Big Muff?

I am looking for a big, juicy Muse-esque fuzz sound. A blend knob would be nice but not needed. My budget goes up to ~£70, depending on how good it is... So hit me! Thanks in advance

Is that Ashdown dual band one any good?

Are those Line6 ones any good?

I saw a guy play Superstition on a bass similar to a BCR (not a copy, but in the same vein) and it looked badass!!!

[quote name='Mikey D' post='581572' date='Aug 26 2009, 04:26 PM']I don't get it until after the Bank Holiday weekend (next week) and that is all being good with the shipments etc. I will definitely do a review though.[/quote] Ah OK. I'm waiting for it

[quote name='Mikey D' post='575246' date='Aug 20 2009, 10:44 AM']Now On Order. Should get it just after BH weekend all being good. I'll put a review up once I've had it a few days.[/quote] Review plz?

I'm with the white Jazz. Whichever "fits".

They were trying to straighten my hair Now, here's me doing what I love: Crappy quality I know.

My band is pretty good, our drummer is fairly passive and gets "suggestions" of what to play by me, but the writing is done equally by me and the guitarist. Our new guitarist is female, and hence obscenely productive, so it looks like we'll then have a 3-way creative mix. Looking good, I'm the death metal guy, the male guitarist is the power metal guy, and the new guitarist likes the more poppy side of things. We'll keep it ridiculous

Well, they gave you a reason. It seems... true, if not full. Good that you signed off nicely, and that you told them they were right etc. It may have been personal, I didn't get that impression from the emails but then again I didn't know the people IRL. Good luck with the other projects mate

I just bought a Bad Monkey off my mate, you can get great tones out of it, if you turn down the gain it's nice and subtle, but crank the treble and gain and it's essentially a distortion. I use mine for THRASH MODE!

Bought a massive Peavey rig off him. Great, everything works exactly, nice bloke, I'd buy off him again if he was selling something I wanted.

So wait- I have a head that is: 700W @ 2 ohms, 475W @ 4 ohms, or 275W @ 8 ohms a 410 that is: 4 ohms. 350 Watts RMS continuous and a 115 that is: 4 ohms. 400 Watts RMS continuous is this good/bad? am i using this efficiently? when talking to my guitarist, should i say i have a "475W rig"?
