    RAT-based bass distortion. Works really well across a very broad range, warm fat low gain tones, to absolutely ripping and filthy. It’s versatile and dynamic, with a notably powerful EQ section. Check out the reviews! This pedal can also be utilised as a boost and/ or EQ (how I’ve been deploying it lately). There’s loads of ways to use it.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences folks. It’s all food for thought.

    Folks … Has anyone brought back a bass from the USA whilst travelling? I have a trip to that county approaching imminently. Given the bargains available over the brine there, and the fact that I’m currently full of GAS, I’m open to the idea of bringing a bass home … possibly. Something that ‘should’ be declared upon arrival at whatever UK airport, clearly, so I realise that import tax should be evaluated. Has anyone just walked through unchallenged with one though? Is the whole thing a potential ball-ache, best avoided? What are your experiences with this? Cheers

    I always use Parcelforce also. In the last couple of months I’ve sent two basses, an amp, and a whole bunch of other gear, with no problems whatsoever. I’ve probably sent and received a dozen basses over the last decade using Parcelforce, and never had any issues with them.

    The last one of these is still available (I had 2).

    That’s funny. My mum has a story exactly the same as that. Dad, is that you?

    The best cheap tuner available atm is a used Korg Pitchblack. They go for as little as £25 on the 2nd hand market, they’re very reliable and well built, good clear and bright display with multiple display modes, and detection accuracy within ± 1 cent (same spec as the most expensive top-end pedal tuners). It’s one of the most undervalued pedals doing the rounds at present. I just sold one for a paltry £30. The only reason I sold it (after a decade of reliable use) was to get the new Pitchblack with the switchable buffer. In terms of specification, functionality, and overall quality, I see this as the best tuner option for anyone on a budget.

    I’ve been in covers bands in the past. Yes, we were parasites.

    Here’s a photo of it with a 130. There were also two sets of brass saddles with mine, wide and narrow. Well designed to accommodate the suspension bridge cable string set …

    A Hipshot Kickass 4 will take them. I just had a 4-string bass set up correctly in B-E-A-D with one. With the Kickass there are two sets of intonation screws, one set short, one set long. If you use the bridge B-E-A-D tuning, use the short screws and you’re fine. The tracks on the bridge are long enough to accommodate both tunings.

    My current board… Buffer/ Tuner/ Mute at the front (with mutable parallel dry signal from the parallel output of the Paradriver) … Then stackable gain stages, Overdrive > Fuzz > Distortion (this board is all about the dirt really) … A touch of space (reverb) … Compression at minimal settings (only bites when digging clean and the dirt isn’t doing the compression) … End of chain EQ/ HPF/ LPF/ DI from the Q strip. This is essentially an ‘ampless’ set up. The front of chain dry parallel signal and end of chain DI both go to the desk, the other end of chain output for additional monitor (power amp/ cabs) if necessary.

    This was indeed the bass that paired with that amp! I played my first gigs in my first band with that exact combination. I had graduated to those from my starter kit, a nasty p-bass copy and a nastier little combo. I was so proud of this upgraded gear. It was the first of me really figuring out the kind of sound I wanted. Such happy innocent times, haha.
