Eddie Van Haley famously played to solo yo ‘Beat It’ for free. Presumably being in tune costs extra.

I'm sure EHV missed adding some money to his pile...

This is a design I drew up, a few years back, for a Zen Drive based pedal. My aim for this winter is to actually build it.

In a listening test at the SW bass bash, these were the best sounding.  I see one in my future.

What was the competition?

ooh, this is very nice!!

I love that! 

Looks cool!
The link doesn't work btw.

Where do people stand on this Jerzy Drozd? I really like the colours. I don't think that the colours would work with black pickups

To me it looks like someone sucked a Warwick Streamer.

I guess you've found this one?

Not really sure what kind of cardboard to be honest, but I suspect a laminate of some kind. I do like the natural finish, but I was hoping for a little more corrugated effect.

Maybe it's a Chinese ripoff... Chardboard?

Nice bass btw

Not tonecardboard then?

I'd love to, but I cant see the rest of the band agreeing to that one sadly! That is a good idea for next year though, put together a misfits tribute just for Halloween!

Full makeup and Devil's locks I hope.

Halloween - Dead Kennedys
Halloween - Mudhoney

Halloween - Misfits

Halloween - Siouxsie & the Banshees
Every Day is Halloween - Ministry

😄

Just do a Misfits set

Option A. Otherwise you're just inverting everything and keeping things out of phase, surely.

Do formant filter Wah pedals exist?

Ooh, the EHX Talking Machine:

Recently I’ve been listening to a fair bit of early 90s Shoegaze.

So when I saw the Catalinbread Soft Focus I quickly crumbled and ordered one. I also got a NUX Time Core pedal as I wanted a delay with tails.

Whilst I got these primarily to use with guitar, I’ve just had a play with a bass through them.

The delay is great for £60. Up to 2000ms delay, 40 sec looper, tap tempo and tails. It does a lot. I may keep this for bass and use my EHX Memory Man tt550 for guitar.

The Catalinbread is their version of the Yamaha fx500’s Soft Focus patch ( think subtle shimmer reverb with subtler modulation), but with tweakable settings. It’s kind of a one trick pony, but it does it very well.

But running a bass through you can get really nice, dark sounding, pad style sounds. Chuck in the delay before, do some volume swells and add a few string squeaks and you get awesome atmospheric synth sounds and noises.

It took me quite a while to find all the parts (at least an hour looking differnt places) so there is that too - along with the heartbreak of having ineveitably ordered the wrong part for something key!

One reason I haven't gone anywhere near anything like this for a few years is I absolutely hate sourcing components.

It's ok, their new website is only a couple of weeks away😉

Blimey!

All the best to you!

Here's the bass https://auctions.doreandrees.com/catalogue/lot/79cb2775e334296da9e8af1d4acf0429/ad74375b82a358e6eef0ce537def266d/curious-and-collectable-lot-539/ :

I've only just seen this thread. This bass is going to look bloody amazing!!
Nice work!!

Been playing along to some Faith No More:

I'll answer the 2 quick questions.

1. R is the right output for stereo 

2. Control in is for an expression pedal to control parameters of certain effects.
