  1. So you'll have 4 switchable channels? I think there is much easier ways to execute this, I think you're double & triple'ing up on pedals where you don't need to?! What are you trying/hoping to acheive? Si

    [sup]I saw Meshell N'DegeOcello playing one of these on her last tour, albeit a reissue I should think.[/sup] [sup]Sounded gross ....... in the coolest, funkiest way you can imagine! [/sup] [sup]Very cool[/sup] [sup]Si[/sup]
  3. Which MXR EQ pedal? Si
  4. My response, regardless of my opinion of the gig (why would I enforce my opinion over someone elses if they're nice enough to say something?) is, with a smile: "Thank-you, you're very kind" Easy Si
  5. I used a ME-50B for years, awesome pedal, and decent prices second hand (discontinued now). The ME-70B is the new model, although I haven't tried that. Si
  6. I think you have to be a tiny bit careful with effects in a 'traditional' setting. You listen to any old blues rock with a single guitar & bass, when the guitar solos, the bass doesn't really change much, check out John Mayer's trio album for a modern example of Pino rocking this minimalist approach. Embrace the sonic space . If you're adament you want a little bit 'more', I suggest a smidge of overdrive, something like a VT-Bass or even better a Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk... just to open up your sound a bit, get a bit of edge & grind on it. Si p.s. Our very own Al Heeley makes a great BassBoost Preamp pedal, everything from slight grind to full overdrive. I LOVE mine!
  7. My opinion on dub is that it's about the EQ of the note as opposed to the octave, it's not all low octaves, far from it. Just all super round and boosted low end. I think you'll get great results with an OC-2, Oct 1 all up, Oct 2 all down, Direct signal all down. Playing around the 7th fret position (gets a low B & low E), maybe place EQ after it, boosting around 50-60hz, or lower....30hz Si
  8. An Octave pedal does just that, plays an Octave (or 2) below, I'm not meaning to sound patronising at all here btw. If you expect to play a low E and get a clean octave lower, you're kidding yourself. If you only mean you want to play a 'mid' E (7th fret A string etc), then you're fine, produces a real nice low E octave Hope this helps in some way, the OC-2's really are great pedals, very musical effect, unlike others that may not glitch like they do, but don't quite sit in the mix as nice for me Si
  9. AHHHH, this is my old upright, I had this built Really lovely bass, I found that it's more 'double bass' than things like the NS ones, they're a bit more 'fretless'. But yeah, nice to see it Si
  10. [quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1339433956' post='1688413'] So, I take it the OC-3 tracks a low E ok then? ... I won't be going any lower than that. [/quote] Your 150 Watt 1x12 can produce an E below low E? Wow Si
  11. I think we should all get together and throw our pedals at each other naked......no?......alright fine. Si
  12. Much the same, I love my OC-2's but they do glitch....which I love. That said I often get notes tracking lower than A, around F# etc, but thats only for quick notes, don't expect the pedal to hold the tracking that low. I've also found that it tracks a little better when the signal going in is rounder/bassier, so I often play notes higher up the neck on the E or A strings, instead of lower down the neck on the D & G strings. Si
  13. I think though, without taking anything away from Shep at all, that someone like Juan simply has a wider exposure due to his position in Mars Volta & Racer X. Those record sales are going to speak for themselves when a manufacturer is looking at artists to help their exposure. Having said that, Juan has a huge collection of pedals, I believe the point of the site is so he can slowly go through those, as opposed to having manufacturers send him free/new stuff. Si
  14. Am I.....are we...that transparent? Lol Si
  15. I really want an Organizer........I think Would prefer to try before spunking £120 on it! Si
  16. I personally think that if a company genuinely has no idea, they should probably stay well away. Most companies have an idea, run with it, then evolve it based on feedback (no pun intended). Simply starting from scratch using random player ideas is only going to be muddled. There are plenty of companies putting out great pedals useable on bass and guitar who have a great vision. Earthquaker Devices, Fuzzrocious, Dwarfcraft Devices, CoPilot FX etc etc Si
  17. Hi all, Anyone tried/bought one of these yet? http://www.earthquakerdevices.com/devices/organizer.htm Really interested to see how it works on bass, I know Juan Alderete has one on his current board. There's one youtube bass demo, but it's balls to be frank. SI
  18. Alex has a policy whereby when you purchase, you have a certain amount of time to try, and if not satisfied, full refund (minus postage). Email Barefaced Si
  19. Works fine for me?! Si
  20. Hi all, I have a couple of sets of Newtone Diamond Bass strings 40-100 Unused and packaged, only reason I'm selling is because I've up'd my gauges to 45-105 & 50-110 [url="http://newtonestrings.com/bass_page.htm"]http://newtonestring...m/bass_page.htm[/url] Fantastic strings hand-made up in Derby New price £24 per set here...£15 each + postage, buy both and I'll include postage to a UK address SOLD PENDING Cheers Si
  21. Really great Echo, Delay, Loop pedal! I actually think these will be ones to watch and collect in the future Si
  22. This is essentially what I did (albeit 'off the shelf'), loved my Fender J so much, I bought the exact same 5 string version. It works lol. Looking forward to seeing this! Si
  23. Define 'Full Range' Si
