Righto, we'll when it gets here and I've tested it out properly for a few days, I'll see then if it's versatile enough for the two sounds I want or if I'm going to have to look into getting another fuzz too.

Funnily enough, I have a Bass Blow Torch on it's was to me as we speak. When I tried it though, it was fab for getting a really gravelly, throaty bass sound rather than a thick, warm fuzz tone which is what I'm after now.

[quote name='Musky' post='25841' date='Jul 2 2007, 12:53 AM']Don't be sorry - you've just set me straight! In a weird bit of synchronicity, its seems he does also use the Bassballs though. [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?storycode=15875"]http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?storycode=15875[/url][/quote] That article misses out the majority of his gear! And thanks Toasted, I'll look into those two as well.

Hehe, sorry to contradict but I'm 99.99% certain he doesn't use a Micro Synth (being something of a Wolstenholme fanboy n'all ). + I'd like to try and get that sound using just one unit if possible, mainly to keep my board nice and compact.

Well the Museier the sound, the better. The Flying Tomato sounds like a fairly good bet as does the GI Fuzz, do they sound good with bass? Also, anyone who's owned/tried either, which offers the smoothest tone? - the GI or the FT? Cheers, I'm really not that knowledgeable about all this stuff .

Well yes, but it's waaaaaaay too expensive. Any viable suggestions?

Instead of making a new thread, I'll shove what I'm looking for here. Basically, I'm looking for a really smooth, synthy bazz fuzz which gives tonnes of sustain and maintains as much of the lows as possible. I have a throaty, gravelly bass sound covered but I'm looking for the other end of the spectrum. Any unit/pedal suggestions are welcome, prefs not about £125 if possible, though I might be able to stretch.

How well does the PS-5 deal with +1 octave, particularly with a bit of distortion or fuzz? (signal going into the PS-5 first of course). That's how I'd be using it predominantly.

Hmm, well to be perfectly honest, it's the size thing again. How accurate is the shifting of a whammy/bass whammy in comparison with say the PS-3 or PS-5 ?

Yee, the Bass Whammys are hideously expensive and from what I've heard, not really worth the money.

Aha, that's perfect. Thanks.

Is it possible to get an adaptor that turns a standard 9v AC current into an 18v AC current? (I'm a complete boob when it comes to technical stuff) I.e. so I can use my Diago powerstation with a unit such as the MXR bass blow torch?

The PS-3 is what I've been looking at predominantly tbh, the fact it offers delay too would be quite useful. And also, thatks for the fuzz suggestions but I'm going to look into that once I've sorted out a pitchshifter .

Hehe, hey Kev - just thought I'd poke around on here for more opinions . And tbh Ant, as good as the Whammy is, I'm really not that keen on getting one as I don't actually plan to use the expression at all and it is a rather huge pedal, I'm preferably looking for a compact pedal as I'm trying to keep my board as small as possible.

Righto, first post here and all that shizzle! I have two things left on my checklist of sonic capabilities I still requite from my pedal board, one being a really fat fuzzy sound and the other being able to shift up one octave and retain the original as well as accurately as possible. Now, I've been looking around to a very limited degree and come up with just these options so far: - Whammy (bass or guitar version) - Boss PS (2/3/5) I've heard mixed opinions about all of them and the fact that the PS-3 has delay as well is another tempter but what I'd like is a run down of the best tracking/most accurate pitch-shifters on the market (that work well with bass of course!). I guess my budget will be around £125 max but I'd really like to pay a tad less than that (eBay will help I'm sure). Any discontinued pedals that would fit the bill are welcome too, as long as they can be got hold of. I have a Boss OC-3 at the mo as well which I really like but it doesn't offer that +1 sound I need. Cheers.
