For sale or trade is my [b]Source Audio Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion [/b]pedal. This is a highly versatile piece of equipment. It is capable of a wide spectrum of sounds from mild overdrive, raw distortion, and fuzz, to the very synthy with the multiwave foldback or octaved thing happening. There's a lot of play with all the different pre-set sounds due to the "drive" control. Also, the seperate "clean" and "distortion" level controls lend themselves well to tweeking the tone and intensity. The pedal can hold the bottom end as a result of being able to blend the clean signal in. Oh, and it is also "hot-hand" compatible, if you like such gadgets. The pedal is boxed, in perfect working order, and excellent overall condition. Velcro has been added to the underside for attachment to a pedal board. Sale price is £70 (posted) Trade-wise, I'd go for a decent octave pedal, such as the [b]Boss OC-3[/b] or[b] EBS Octabass ... [/b]Or a nice delay pedal. Product Info ...

Folk players ... a beard of bassists

Sub-genre collective nouns ... Funk players ... a groove of bassists Metal players ... a riff of bassists Reggae players ... a dub of bassists Jazz players ... a [email="w@nk"]w@nk[/email] of bassists

Put a "for trade" post on the Warwick forum too

Collective nouns can be blandly functional, poetically suggestive, or just abstract. Some are really interesting ... a cackle of hyenas, a fluther of jellyfish, a murder of crows, etc. But what would make a good collective noun for bass players? [b]A [i]funk[/i] of bassists[/b] ... I quite like that. Let's have your suggestions!

??? Did the one you were meant to be buying fall through?

The Scots word for flea is "flech" (with a gutteral [i]ch[/i]) it has a better ring to it.

Nice one man

On the circuit board in the electronics compartment on the back of your thumb bass you'll see a little trim pot with a slot in it. You can reduce the output of your bass by turning this. I'm thinking this will solve your problem.

There are many things that I love about Weather Report from the Jaco era ... but Zawinuls [b][color=#FFA500]cheesy[/color][/b] synths are not one of them. Don't get me wrong. As a composer and player, I think the man was truly brilliant, but lets face it ... he had a penchant for the smelly stuff. Aye, a prolific purveyor of the stilton-esque, was Joseph. The times and technology cant be blamed for this. Herbie, for example, was sounding infinately classier in those days. Oh, if the music could be reborn I'd love to hear that Weather Report/ Jaco combo, those pieces, those arrangements with the synth parts reconsidered. Less over-bearing, more sympathetic. Rinse out the gross pads, the invasive and torturous plastic lead sounds. So much of Jacos precious playing is lost in this mess of fromage.

I'm strictly an electric player, but for what it's worth ... Gallien Krueger MB150E / MB150S Beefed up with the MBX112 ext extension cab the 150w is surprisingly loud, clear, and present. You can read something of how this is acheived in the review below. These are great for recording too, the signal path is uber clean. I use it for everything .. practices, gigs, recording. Don't be put off by thinking that because it's small that it miht be gutless. It's not. I've used it with a fairly loud drummer and no pa very successfully in small to medium sized rooms. Any gig that will require anything bigger is bound to have pa support anyway. Many double bassists swear by these. there's a few big name endorsers too (I think). Manual ...

[url="http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/jun08/articles/gallienkruger.htm"]http://www.performin...llienkruger.htm[/url] Such high quality gear. So light, versatile, and clean sounding.

A 2nd-hand Gallien Krueger MB150E / MB150S will cost around £300/ £350. These are superlative combos, in every respect. Their popularity amongst double-bass players speaks kudos for the thing. I'm an electric bassist. I use one of these for everything. When teamed up with the MBX112 extension cab it is loud and present enough to gig a good sized room without PA support. I cant recommend it enough really.

SOLD Warwick Streamer Stage 1 1989 for sale SOLD
Fionn replied to badbass's topic in Basses For Sale
Wow ... unbelievable price. This will clean up really nicely. Someone is going to have the bargain of the century here. -
FS Warwick Streamer stage 1 from 1990 - SOLD!
Fionn replied to Isaaclefunkymakak's topic in Basses For Sale
Sweet bass man, very nice. -
[b]Early Warwicks[/b] from the 80's when they were handmade ... particularly those basses which were still under transition of design. I'm talking of Streamers with the "spade" head shape, non-inclined tuners, one-piece bridges, and all the variations therein ... and the short horned Thumb Basses, JD's most definately. These are already very collectable, but will be all the moreso in the future.

EHX Bass Synth - distorts with active bass
Fionn replied to thinman's topic in Repairs and Technical
Is there a wee internal trim pot on the circuit-board of the pedal (or your Sterling, for that matter). If so, try adjusting that first. -
Not sure what paint to use, but I'd certainly fine sand and prime the surface that you're painting first.

You've listed Herbie there, but you missed what is possibly his funkiest album ... Man-Child Get your ears around this ... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgBrPQCSdW4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgBrPQCSdW4[/url] -
£950!!! ... incredibly cheap price. I just sold an NT4 for more than that. I could almost start playing 5-string for a bargain like this. The person that buys this bass will have done well.
