Yeah I just get the rolls of heavy duty from John Lewis or B&Q. I prefer heavy duty as my pedal board gets picked up on its side, if you're picking up flat all the time (small board), standard should suffice. Cheers Si

Re-jiggled my 'utility' board a bit [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/jfi7ph.jpg[/IMG] Si

I'm also using passive Jazz/Precision combos and really didn't like the Streamliner (not even mentioning the 3 different volume knobs). As someone also said, I quickly went back to my Markbass, which I pretty much run 'all at 12', apart from the VPF/VLE which get run about 8oclock or 9oclock Si

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1357109477' post='1917508'] I couldn't get a sound I liked with the Streamliner. Too big down low, to unfocusedd in the mids. [/quote] This for me too! Even with my Barefaced......my Markbass LMII does the trick no issue though Si

Ant on here has one on pre-order already Si

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1357117481' post='1917564'] I think my tu3 can supply up to 7 boss pedals? [/quote] It depends on the ma rating of those 7 pedals. Generally speaking, you can treat milliamps like amp wattage headroom, you want more than you need. I would want my power supply to not be running over half capacity, so say the Boss tuner can supply 200ma, and you have 7 pedals that total 170ma, you're going to probably start hearing some excess noise and perhaps some sag with regards to the actual effects. In your case, if you have 7 Boss pedals that add up to 90ma (Check Boss Area for the ratings), you're fine. Cheers Si

I prefer a kettle lead into power supply than a hardwired wall-wart daisy-chained......the latter tend to break much more often. Also, you can usually get a lot more MA from a dedicated power supply as opposed to a tuner. I think a Boss TU-2 can supply around 200ma, although the Polytune is more from what I remember. My Gig-Rig power supply gives me 5amps of available power. Si

Good result Si

[quote name='D.I. Joe' timestamp='1356963757' post='1915689'] Cool I'll check those out when I get a few minutes. Is there such thing as a compact(ish) overdrive with a valve onboard? [/quote] Not that I know of, the DHA will be the kind of size you can expect if you want an actual tube. The Catalinbread SFT is also based on SVT sounds. Si

The Xotic Bass BB Pre is a previous versatile pedal, from low-gain overdrive to pick driven distortion! All in a small enclosure! Si

Couple to look out for: Fuzzrocious Dark Driving Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B Xotic Bass BB Pre Si

Looky what arrived at Christmas (apologies for the dodgy phone pics): Si

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1356472612' post='1910460'] Happy to oblige - A bright orange stickman with white bits! Pics of yours when you get it pease. [/quote] Very cool, Yeah Kaeden is starting to get some stick figures on his boxes now, very cool little guy! Here's my Grey Stache: My new OSD will take a month or two I think, and will be painted by Shannon Si

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1356361555' post='1909519'] Happy happy joy joy!! I got given the package earlier. Inside was a Kid-paint Rat King. Have brought it home and had a quick play though my Pod and 'phones. The range of tones is huge!! The option of having two different levels of distortion is great (most of the time I'm either clean or a bit of grit but a couple of our songs require a full on creamy distortion). Plus, if nothing else, the feedback loop will be great for drowning out the guitarist when he goes on a between songs widdle-fest [/quote] Awesome....pics of the kid-paint please . My Grey Stache is a kid-paint. I was jealous of you, so I ordered a custom paint Oh See Demon yesterday lol Si

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1356099108' post='1906824'] i love the sound of my darkglass B3k through my barefaced cab, its my holy grail now! but its such a personal thing, people can hate what other people love, the vintage microtubes looking interesting. i also really REALLY love anything tubescreamer based [/quote] I think the tubescreamer circuit is where it's at really, the Xotic BB pre is based on that. Si

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1355929281' post='1904602'] I've had a suspicion that someone might have got me one for Christmas. I've just seen a parcel from the US be delivered [/quote] That's so cool, wish I had a secret Fuzzrocious for christmas I've found out that I really don't like many distortions at all on anything smaller than a 12" speaker....and even then, it has to be coupled with a 15. One or two 15s for Distortion is the ideal for me. Si

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1355905391' post='1904131'] Juan Alderete uses the Behringer vibrato on his touring pedal board these days. Not sure whether it's replaced his VB-2 or it addition to them. [/quote] I have to say I don't quite believe that lol, he definitly advocates the Behringer as a clone, but I've never seen the VB-2 off his board, certainly back when I saw Big Sir in March/April he had the VB-2, and I assume (based on his pedal vids) he had it for the Mars Volta tour too. Perhaps it was being fixed or something if you saw it on the board?! Apparently the Malekko vibrato does a great impression of it too, but that's much more money than the B. Si

[indent=1]Andy is a top top bloke, I've had setups and refrets from him, top-notch work, great prices (imo) and really quick![/indent] [indent=1]Si[/indent]

Thanks for getting back to me Will (tentatively) drop him another message perhaps lol Si

I priced up a singlecut with Jon, it's still in my sights, but some other business has to clear up first. I was under the impression I had to have a wood finish......he might not appreciate that I want a solid white finish now Si

It's fit!! Si
