I use a Boss MD-2 to good effect, I can't listen to your vid just now so not saying it will acheive that sound, but I find it's a great Distortion for bass, it has treble and bass controls too. Si

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1332685362' post='1591580'] Shep, you just introduced me to my new favorite delay.. the El Capistan. Thank you. ..I can't seem to find it anywhere though.. [/quote] Totally with you on that, beautiful sounding unit!! They're on the Strymon website for $299 http://www.strymon.net/products/elcapistan/ Seems to be like a smaller version of my Akai Headrush E2 Si

Had a play of this the other night: [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/blockheads.jpg/][IMG]http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/595/blockheads.jpg[/IMG][/URL] From what I understand it's not a refinish, but it has been over-sprayed with a clear-coat in the past, but original shoreline gold finish underneath. It's certainly not a collector, so anyone saying that it should be put in a museum I find very odd. It's a knackered Jazz bass, albeit with a cool history, that should be played. It's pretty mellow with rounds fitted, very similar tone to my '73 J....but my '73 J has flats on it lol, so that gives an idea to it's mellownessness. Si

From what I understand with the bass big muff, there are issues with the blend & volume controls being out of sync? something like that. Difficult to balance your bass sound without getting a volume boost, easily modded thought it seems. I had a standard silver Muff that sounded fine on bass, although that was with all the tone rolled off, so more bass retention, wind it up and you lose bottom end. My CoPilot FX Orbit w/blend has replaced it. Si

I should get in on this really shouldn't I lol Si

I've increasingly been thinking about all-valve stuff, but I have an issue with size and weight lol How heavy is it?? Si

I too thought that the slapping issue was a lot less than past year. The general volume issue was probably as good as it's going to get, I think it's damage limitation rather than actually being able to have completely silent 15mins every hour. Definitly agree that it felt 'smaller', but again, not necessarily a bad thing. Lack of gear? perhaps, but then I go to LBS to catch up with friends who I don't get to see very often due largely to clashing schedules, I think I played one bass....and that was to try out an amp for 10mins. The rest of the time was spent catching up and chatting, I had a great time Cheers Si

Never drink on a gig where I'm being hired to do a job. Sometimes on originals gigs i might have a couple, but I want to be in a state where I'm fully aware. I remember years ago I did a gig where I was rather pissed, recorded it, played fine, but I don't remember it at all, don't recall any enjoyment etc. What's the point in that? I play music because it gives me something, so putting myself into a state when I don't feel that enjoyment seems utterly pointless. Si

Hi All, Near High Wycombe this Saturday? (10/03/12), fancy seeing my live Dubstep project 'Continuum', as well as some other great rock/ska/acoustic bands?. [url="https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/182291701873961/"]https://www.facebook...82291701873961/[/url] £3 entry, bands, then DJs till late. Sponsored by Focusrite / Novation Cheers Si

Hi Tommy, That's a difficult question! I'd say they're all essential to check out, maybe just go chronologically from when Greg (singer) joined, that's when it got more melodic. So: Miss Machine - Ire Works - Option Paralysis Also check out the EP with Mike Patton, Irony Is A Dead Scene Cheers Si

I use Newtone Strings, hand-wound up in Derby. They have stock models, but essentially you can have any guage & tension you want. Around same price as Roto's/Elites too. Their only downside is that they don't do flats Si

I had a standard Big Muff Pi on my board for a while, I actually got pretty good results with it, but I was using extreme settings that retained the bottom end. I eventually swapped it out for my CoPilot Orbit, which beats it in everyway. But the Big Muff is classic Si

Just rejigged my board, took off my Boss Slicer and added a couple of others.
