[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1324036090' post='1470003'] OK, so its DHA VT1 in the lead so far (features and price look good) .... any detractors or alternative suggestions? [/quote] I loved the sound of my VT2, but found it to be a tad noisy. So I sold it. Now on the look out for another DI. So far the contenders are a cheap(-ish) and cheerful MXR or the Darkglass.

I recently bought the Vintage Phaser. Amazon were selling it for £16, so I thought it was worth a punt. It was repackaged and ready to be returned within 15 minutes of getting it and I ordered an EHX Nano Small Stone. Never buying Behringer FX again. They're cheap for a very good reason.

I had one. Really liked it, found it comfortable to play. Wasn't any use in the band and sold it.

There's Crane's, GM and Gamlins, all more or less on the same street. All pretty much the same. [b]RhysP[/b] describes them accurately...

[quote name='Walker' timestamp='1323516247' post='1464062'] Got one on the way. Good sales job! [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG63OtsKC7k[/media]

My first bass was a Cardinal Deluxe. At the time I didn't realise it was a shorter scale Discovered that fact after I'd part-ex'd it for an SB Elite and wondered why I got the wrong fret, every so often, for a day or two. But the Cardinal was great to play

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1323614662' post='1465026'] Pardon my ignorance, but can anyone recommend an Octave which offers both clean octave up and down? Does one exist? I am that clueless! (Not necessarily at the same time but that would be a bonus!) [/quote] Electro Harmonix Micro Pog does this.

If that's the price then I'll be selling my Ampeg PF-500

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1323180912' post='1460186'] Hey guys, I just have to chime in - and can be corrected if I am wrong - but if you are wanting a Steve Harris bass tone, you need neither a Pod or a Sansamp. Steve played a large part of his career with just a Trace Elliot preamp, straight in to power amps and then 4x12 cabs with EV speakers in right? No modelling or crazy gubbins. So I'd say, the only think you might want in the set up you have already to add the signature clicky top end might be a graphic equaliser pedal. The P Bass with an SD pickup like Steves will do the rest for ya! - Turn it up loud and play lightly. [/quote] Spot on [b]dood[/b]

That sounds amazing! If I don't win what I'm bidding for on ebay I'm going use the money to put towards one of these!

I can't tell you what the best one is, but I can tell you the Behringer one is very poor.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1322912264' post='1457177'] Bit of research suggests that Jeff Caxide from Isis would use a Fulltone Bassdrive and an MXR M-80 for his distortion, with an Aguilar Tone Hammer for his pre-amp, amongst a whole load of other modulation pedals. Have a look see: [url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cz9To5JXsNo/S4kOk-St9II/AAAAAAAAB8U/i275gnJxCPg/s800/ISIS_JeffCaxide_Pedalboard.jpg"]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cz9To5JXsNo/S4kOk-St9II/AAAAAAAAB8U/i275gnJxCPg/s800/ISIS_JeffCaxide_Pedalboard.jpg[/url] [/quote] He likes a scooped tone then. I wonder what year that was from, he ended up being a Justin Chancellor clone on Wavering Radiant.

Good luck, I haven't seen one advertised for a few years now.

A lot of hair metal bands used this sort of thing in the 80s during their ballads. Main bit of song on mounted acoustic, then lame guitar solo on electric.

[quote name='fxpedal.co.uk' timestamp='1322600899' post='1453462'] Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately that's an AC rather than DC power supply so won't work for the OP. 15V is very difficult but, depending on the actual pedal, it may be fine at 12V or 18V. I would advise checking with the manufacturer of the pedal. [/quote] One day I'll learn to read...

This goes to 15v, not sure of ampage though...
