  1. The ZCat stuff looks interesting, I'd be interested in what you think of it if you order?! I've gotten a quote from Max at SFX, so that's an option, he makes great pedals. I've also got a quote pending from these guys: http://buzzelectronics.co.uk/index.php They don't make a blender, but am asking about custom, I'm not fussed about fancy paint etc lol Si

    Sub Bass Tone

    Another vote for octave + EQ My last gig I was running through a big PA, plenty of subs, I was boosting 62hz and it was shaking things off shelves I've now switched my EQ pedals and will be boosting 50hz :-D I'm messing around with the idea of producing some Meatbox clones......30hz boost anyone? Si
  3. Are you aware that the band has that line up all the time? For all we know the drummer and bassist could be deps, unlikely perhaps, but I've certainly been on gigs with 2 or 3 other deps, seat of your pants but nice and organic Si
  4. Yeah just talk to Newtone, they'll sort you out with whatever you want! Simples Si
  5. Hi guys, As is tradition, here's a last minute invite to my covers band, Re:Cover's, gig at O'neills Think we start about 9 or 9:30pm Maybe cya there Lovely Si
  6. ARGH, I have a 2003 USA Jazz that I've often thought about trading for a Hotrod P......but it's a lovely bass.....so torn lol Si
  7. His white Yammy looks very cool, shame its a 5 Nice little collection for a well-off Pino fan though Si
  8. I have the Jazz equivalent and Fender really know how to make a good 5 IMO. Seriously considered exchanging my J5 for the P5, but never quite made the jump. Good luck, looks like a beauty! Si
  9. Oh he's not gonna sue, even if he reads this and thinks 'Oh well now I'm gonna make an example of the site', it's still a ridiculous move to make. At best you're going to see a massive dive in UK sales, at worst there'll be a massive sale of 2nd hand Rics, which could affect global sales (shipping to other countries etc). I know they're the extremes, but the online backlash from legal action on something so petty (It's not even like we're building copies in a garage) would not be worth the action. They'd need to spend so much in legal fee's maintaining the precedence, they might as well sell up now. Si
  10. It's funny isn't it, how protecting ones intellectual property (or at least that's how JH see's it) can damage your sales, as is probably the case here. By taking away peoples choice, they're less likely to choose your product, simple as that. Embrace competition and the intrinsic quality of a company will usually show through the players with discerning tastes. As has been mentioned, protecting ones assets is fine, but there are means to do so without alienating your customer-base If nothing else, this thread might act as a business lesson in 'Uk bassists' for Ric lol Si
  11. Hi all, I have a Boss Line Selector, boxed with manual etc. Pics to follow. Looking to get hold of a Super Shifter or Harmonist (PS-5/6), also up for a VB-2 or Meatbox too, all with cash your way I should think Chars Si
  12. [quote]I think 'Cats', in the jazz fraternity, refers to hardcore jazzers who can do it, as opposed to those on the periphery of the jazz scene who are not there yet. So, say Jasper Hollby could be a 'Cat' but I wouldn't be as I am not in that league. So if someone like Branford Marsalis or whoever called you a 'Cat' it would be a compliment. So old farts playng Jazz in pubs in Sheffield who call people Cats are kinda poseurs. Personally, I think you have to be a Cat to decide who else is so its a minefield and if you try to call someone a Cat who isn't, you coudl look a bit of a dick. I can't call anyone a Cat yet because I am mere cannon fodder. Alternatively, I could be talking total bollocks! [/quote] I think you just proved my point?! lol Si
  13. Someone said it earlier, but modern players referring to each other as "Cats", really makes me cringe, it just sounds so try-hard lol Si
  14. Add me to the list if you want Would be good to get a little network of deps going. Am only over in High Wycombe, so places like Clapham are about a 30mins drive on a clear day Noice Si
  15. This is my fave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9KMgg7T_sg&feature=artist Si
  16. Is it quite strong wood? I wouldn't want to stamp on it in anger in fear of splinters lol. Looks great though, very 'Pedal Train' Si
  17. You can't really compare the Squier brand signatures to Fender brand signatures, they're aimed at utterly different markets The BB signature looks nice, wonder if the bassmute will be standard.....assuming it gets made at all Si
  18. Wanna do me the Vibrato for £10 just to get rid? :-P Si
  19. Don't suppose you have a Meatbox hanging around? :-D Good luck with the sale! Si
  20. Perhaps it varies from pedal to pedal?! I know Boss generally suggests it, I've also known a few pedals LEDS to not work on a standard PSA, whilst being fine daisy-chained off a TU-2 etc They are quirky, so it doesn't surprise me if there's inconsistencies in the flaws lol Si

    DIY Effects

    Let's give this bass boost a go then Si
  22. Wonderful looking P Nice one Howard! Si
  23. You also might need to rethink the OC-2 if it is an older Japanese pedal. They much prefer being daisy chained from another Boss pedal (like the TU-2 or LS-2) due to it needing the older ACA power supply. I don't know if the Pitch Black would work in the same way?! Si
  24. I had my CoPilot FX Orbit built with a blend, so I have a blendable gated fuzz, with a blendable ring-mod....all in one pedal Si
  25. I've been messing around and I can cop pretty similar tones with either my MD-2 with GEB-7 boosted at 800hz, as well as an ODB-3 with the same EQ'ing. Obviously slightly different sounds, but both pretty close to that recording. No blended sounds. Of course that's just in my lounge at home, those tones will sound very different in a live setting. I'd put money on him using different gear to get that studio tone to what he uses live. Oh the other thing which is important, which I'm sure you're doing, is using a plectrum, makes sooooo much difference! Si
