  1. Yeeeoooow! A fellow Coalisland man on BC! How’s ‘the ‘island’? Still a sh*t h*le 😀 Lovely Bass!
  2. There’s pedals which can enhance a sound or make it more pleasing to you as a player/performer and if you can make pedals work in the music you play more power to you. Early days I never used effects as I was poor and spent the money on things like food. Then I got a drive pedal as one of the tunes we played sounded better with drive. Fast forward to being in a 6 piece band and I had three types of drive because the songs they had written used various degrees of filth. Fast forward to today and I use a couple of effects - some occasional drive, an eq and a comp - which adds a nice little something but I generally play the songs in my covers band that suit the style of the band with occasional dirt on a few songs. If my band was an electronic band and I needed that type of sound I’d use what got me that sound but as it stands I don’t ‘need’ effects but I like what my small collection does for me and my ears on a gig.
  3. I tried to upload some footage but YouTube is refusing to allow me. I guess YouTube knows better It was some of my old band, swagger-core pioneers, Bloodbath Callaghan and The WarCrimes. Essentially scumbag rock'n'roll/punk/garage rock nonsense played my men in cheap suits! I'll persevere with it!
  4. There's a guy on the yank site Talkbass selling a Fender CS '59 as found in the Mike Dirnt model and if I had a need for one I'd have already bought it. Cracking pick up that! Actually....
  5. It’s a great pre. I’ve a couple of different pre’s kicking about but keep coming back to it. It offers a lot of scope on the pedal board and works really well with a jazz bass!
  6. Mine not quite as in proportion but still belting!
  7. Great stuff!
  8. Just gonna add this link for potential buyers to check out how versatile the tone hammer is. I use one and I really enjoy what it does both as a clean tone shaper/enhancer and as a drive unit - I favour a low gain type drive to push my amp a little harder. The semi-parametric mids are really useful to fatten up a sound with the lower mids or dial in the higher mids to cut through especially with the drive (AGS) engaged! Sorry for the hijack but it’s info which really opens up ones understanding of the TH which can be a real ‘secret weapon’ pedal offering much more than appears on the surface.
  9. Ha I really prefer a passive bass and ive got preamps coming oot ma ears!
  10. I’ve said it before the helix can pretty much do anything in terms of practicality I/O etc. Well thought out units!
  11. It didn't feel right zooming in to check what with guests being round and all!
  12. Yeah I'm just being 'adorable'
  13. I like that the pic's appear taken from behind some curtains. Very much a "Confessions of Window Cleaner" vibe to them.
  14. Their cabs are nicely designed and sound good too. I don’t mind the coverings so long as it keeps the cab ‘protected’ and it doesn’t peel off then it’s a winner...and its not rat fur. I don’t like rat fur covered cabs.
  15. It’s probably the same busted unit passing about BC for years at a knock down price with original owner thinking I’m they have all got noise issues and the myth has perpetuated.
  16. I really need to borrow my mates passive HH Dimension for a few days to have another blast on one
  17. Yeah it was a mail out Strats and tele’s https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/black-friday-sale/?srule=price-high-to-low&sz=12&start=0
  18. Fender Elites for £899 but no basses on fender.com
  19. And don’t start me on the tecamp blow out by guitarguitar many moons ago too. I had money tied up in a power amp I had bought from them which died and was in for repair and they held off giving me a refund. All the good tecamp stuff sold and lo and behold I got my refund 😕
  20. Love it! Just can’t justify another bass.
  21. You’ll have to whack up a demonic bass+mosaic clip and let us hear what it’s doing for you especially if using it with your band. Like I’ve mentioned in the pedal board thread it’s really useful to hear some of these effects in context and there’s no denying the EHX pedals POG, B9, C9 Etc and the Mosaic do the octave/doubling thing well. eagerly awaiting audio!
  22. Better than a dedicated pedal *gasp*
