So a bass better than before, plus the money you paid for it? Win/win Si

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1505082199' post='3369400'] Sometimes less is more though...especially when you know that the "less" can nail it with less effort than the "more"! Well now that you've suggested it I have no choice... [/quote] Oh of course, I'm not advocating one over the other. But I agree.....get both Si

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1504999909' post='3368817'] Gah! I was about to buy a Wounded Paw Battering Ram (v2.6) but I may just have to concede that spending half as much on this Green Muff may well be a wiser investment... [/quote] And getting half the features?! Si

I find my '71 Precision with Chromes, to my Markbass LM800 (flat eq) is perfect tone! I never quite liked Jazz basses with flats, had a '73 Jazz that I had Roto flats on a few years ago, just didn't work for me! Si

If the bass player for Ben Folds Five can work fuzz into most songs, so can you haha. I have a custom Grand Tarkin on my covers band board, sprinkle over tunes sparingly and it can be great. Si

I've got the Dr Freakenstein Dwarf Bass which is a very cool little Fuzz which you can coax some madness from, made a vid of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgoNky_6C-c Just taken delivery of the Dr Freakenstein Dwarf Bleep Bass too (let's call it the DFDBB haha), which is a variation of the above, video coming soon! Not tried the Pulsar, but seen some people get some great sounds out of it, definitely on my list Si

Same bass as I'm borrowing at the moment. Seems decent for the price, well made and sounds fine (probably the Nordstrands to thanks for that). I kinda feel that the BTB range probably suits a 6er a little more, the substantial neck is kinda at odds with the smaller SR body.....IMO of course. But generally, very nice bass Si

Certainly don't want this to turn into a production vs boutique argument, different strokes for different folks, pros and cons for both etc etc. I did try the Way Huge at NAMM this past Jan and it sounded very very good! If the EHX is on par with that, and isn't built like a wet cake, then they'll have a winner on their hands. Si

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1504695355' post='3366597'] Cheers Si. But am I correct that Logic and Garageband are only available on Mac, so for those of us on Windows PCs, Reaper probably is the best entry level option? [/quote] Yes absolutely, Mac only. My post wasn't a 'use Logic not Reaper', far from it, just trying to let you know about the only real 'negative' of Reaper.....which is scraping the barrel at best. It is really good Si

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1503863384' post='3361237'] Cheers - seems like Reaper is the way to go, quite a lot of positive (and no negative) comment about it on this thread and one the most affordable options to boot. [/quote] The only real 'negative' with Reaper is that it has a lot of advanced features/options exposed all the time (just take a look at track output options), whereas something like Logic can run in a 'basic' mode to just expose the features a beginner might need. You can certainly work around it, but it does make some sections of the GUI more cluttered and harder to understand than say Garageband or Logic in 'basic' mode. Si

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1504640597' post='3366329'] What's the damage? [/quote] €2480 apparently. Obviously I just did for fun, not a big fan of the body shape, but the spec is nice Si

This is about where I'm at, 32" scale: [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/15mcvmv.jpg[/IMG] Si

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1504625851' post='3366154'] Having both a tarkin and a stache I'm really interested how this holds up! [/quote] To be fair, the Stache isn't Green based, so will sound different, but features wise it's going to be hard for the EHX to beat either that or the COG. It's only really going to be if you want a production (i.e. not boutique) green muff for not much money. Me? I'll stick with my Stache & two Grand Tarkins for now. Si P.s. With regards to the COG, I'm generally referring to the Grand Tarkins, others may mean the standard Tarkin

There's some very stiff competition for good Green Muffs, but they've got the price-point right (for an EHX pedal anyway). Already having a couple of COG Tarkins in various flavours, not interested in the EHX, but lots of people will be if they've gotten it right Si

I gig a lot, but don't have any bass that us purely a 'backup'. I generally take two basses to a gig, but i'll usually only use one. I use different basses for different bands, and one will often just act as a backup for the main bass on another gig. There's an assumption that I won't use the 'backup', but if I do, it will be up to my standards as it's the main bass for another project. If I just had one project, with no interest for different musical situations, then i'd probably just buy two of the same bass.....or perhaps something wildly different...who knows haha. Si

Some old nitro LPB finishes actually come up this kinda green over time. Unless you really dislike the colour, I'd leave it, it has its own character & story 3 old LPB Fenders: [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/qxrkhi.jpg[/IMG] Si

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1503994762' post='3361938'] As far as I know, there aren't any production 6 strings out there with a 32" scale, never mind 16.5m spacing. Cheers, Eude [/quote] Closest you'll get is probably this: http://www.rondomusic.com/hxb40534natq.html Although fully appreciate it's 30" rather than 32" Si
