So, I take it the OC-3 tracks a low E ok then? ... I won't be going any lower than that.

How good is the tracking with the boss octave pedals? I'd like to hear your opinions, as I'm thinking about getting one. Thanks in advance.

When I was 16 my best freind bought an electric guitar so I bought a bass for jamming purposes. it was an easy choice to make as I was big into the Red hot Chilli Peppers, and loving the sound of the newly breaking Jamiroquai. Flea and Stuart Zender were the first bassists to put the spark in my head and inspire funk in my fingers.

Aye, I power it with a standard (boss type) 9v psu. so it works on the daisy chain. It takes 9v battery.

Just had the nice surprise of finding an old cheapo Rocktek phr -01 phaser that belonged to a guitarist I knew with about 15 years ago. So, I've been experimenting. As a phaser it's nothing special on its own, but it does wonderful things post-distortion, and pre-envelope filter. It sounds huge. especially with the distortion. I'm surprised at how clean and thick it sounds. It is a little loud however, and the build quality is awful. Just posting as I love this crappy wee pedal now. You can buy these on the bay as cheap as chips. Go on! for the price of three pints you can have yourself a wee gem!

Is it just me or did anyone else think that Jah Wobble looked a bit [i]deliverence-esque [/i]in the death disco clip?

I'm selling a Belgarth (top-end bodhran), if anyone is interested.

The one bass that I sold, that I should never have let go of, and that I regretted most was my 1981 [b]Aria SB-900 fretless[/b]. The story ends well though ... Ten years ago I traded it in on a whim for something I shouldn't have. It bugged me for a decade. Last month though, whilst in a random part of Scotland, by chance, I went to see a guy who had advertised an old SB on Gumtree. I couldn't tell from the grainy wee photo exactly which model it was, the guy didn't know either. I went along and had a look anyway ... Lo' and behold, it was my old bass!!! complete with the ding in the laquer where I dropped a plate on it whilst clumsily eating peanut butter on toast an age ago! I was similtaneously in a state of shock and delight. One of the switches is broken but other than that it's in much the same condition as when I let it go. The fella was asking for less money than I traded it in for ... a mere £230! Needless to say, It is now very happily re-united with its rightful owner I'm loving to play its solid silky mwahness again. The nicest fretless that I've ever played. I'm soooooo happy about it! [b]Does anyone have a bass that they particularly lament parting with, or a similar story to mine about winning it back?[/b] [b]Please tell ....[/b]

muchos gracias, that's helpful

Hi there. Can anyone reccomend me a decent quality and reliable PSU that is compatible with Jim Dunlop MXR pedals. I can't find a Dunlop ECB-003 anywhere ... they seem to be impossible to source. It's a 9v ac adapter with negative pin polarity. Google has revealed a few which say they are compatible replacements but I know that theres a lot of crap out there. What are other owners of MXR pedals using?

Thanks for those links, gents. It's definately the split shaft that I'm after though. The old SB knob wont fit otherwise. I'll contact Mr East. Thanks for the suggestion. Bests

Looking to replace a stacked tone / volume pot on my Aria SB. I've looked on all the guitar part websites but I can find one anywhere. It's a 500k / 500k stacked pot with a split shaft. Does anyone know where I can find one?

check out his playing ... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJT3Zmo3deM&feature=fvwrel"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJT3Zmo3deM&feature=fvwrel[/url]

Thanks men. No strict voodoo with that then. My envelope filter arrives today, so I'll get it all set up tonight and annoy the missus with my experiments in funk and distortion ..... yeahhhhh!

muchos gracias!

I'm looking to replace a broken two-way dual sound switch on my Aria SB-900, but not being the most technically minded bassist I just want to check that I'm not barking up the wrong tree before I go and buy something. This is what I think I need ([b]please[/b] [b]correct me if I'm wrong[/b]) ... [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/electronics/switches/mini-switch-dpdt-on-on-2-p-4055.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/electronics/switches/mini-switch-dpdt-on-on-2-p-4055.html[/url] Obviously, I need a switch that works, but also, I'm keen on retaining the original aesthetic of the bass, so the switch has to look the same as the one that's coming out. The photo's on that allparts page are a bit blurry and I can't tell whether the visible part of the switch has the square profile of the original (if it isn't, where can I get one?). Attached are photos of a switch like the one that I need to replace. it has 6 pins on the back. Advice is appreciated Ta [attachment=107484:IMG_0029.JPG] [attachment=107486:IMG_0031.JPG]

Looking for an answer here as to what would be the best sequence in which to link my pedals, and why? I'll be using ... Trace Elliot SMX dual compressor MXR M82 bass envelope filter Marshall shredmaster distortion I haven't used effects before, so I'm pretty clueless on the subject. Any of your gems of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated. Ta.
