I used one of these in my 'swagger-core' band about 10 years ago -(we "invented" the genre don't try to find it) and it worked for many styles of filth. This has made me all nostalgic. Cheers 😀

Yup for bass specific you tube 'reviews' I find the best feature some sort of song with the bass played in that context. There's a guy victor hugo 'somebody' who has a couple of darkglass ones up. His vids and playing is great though not the style I play.

Just saw that email. Shame they don't have any in my local GG - I'd like to give one a try.

I find that the transformer in the Broadcast does add to the overall tone. I was A/B'ing it (on and off basically) before my gig last weekend and after getting the on/off levels matched everything sounded better with the pedal on. At rehearsal last night I played with the 'hi gain' channel as on mine it's on a foot switch not a toggle. Again sounds good but defo more of that germanium vibe which may not be to everyones taste. It'd be interesting running a second dirt pedal into the Broadcast to see if it enhances it - might have to get a Bass Soul Food again and try it ..... running out of pedal board space and reluctant to get a bigger one as I'd be inclined to fill it

I was always put off by the blade pickup and the metal scratch plate (I'm terribly fickle like that) but I do quite like the look of these. Never played a Yamaha bass but do own a Pacifica 611 FHM and its such a great guitar. Only paid £230 for it (used)!

It's sometiimes hard to be polite but I find a jovial attitude to telling someone to feck off helps soften the blow. I recently used this approach.... Punter - "Do you guys know any (insert band here/song)?" [i]Here we go.....[/i] Me - "Sorry it's not in our set tonight .....but it a top tune!" - [i]Attempt to be civilised...[/i] Punter - "Aww come on play (insert song here)." - [i]rebuttal......[/i] Me - "Do you have it on your phone?" - [i]the set up....[/i] Punter - with a big smile "Yeah I do" (and reaching into their pocket for said phone).- [i]Hook.......[/i] Me - "Well away outside and listen to it, then come back in and enjoy yourself"...cue winning smile [i]Line.......[/i] Punter - "I'm that guy aren't I" and left us to play the tunes. [i]Sinker........[/i] We get this alot and it's either play that song again or a request for a song that we'd never play. I'm normally more receptive and likely to banter with a punter off mic as it keeps them away from the singer who has little patience as he's usually getting video's by an iphone with the light blinding him! People!! tut!

Maybe you should hang on to the TC

Scott's bass lesson has a quick look at 7 of the range on You Tube

Have any tone hammer users tried these settings out?

I think we grow familiar with the sound of gear and then seek a change so regardless of how good it is we grow accustomed and just like a change.
