I've only tried one on guitar and didn't get along with it. I just got drowned out in a band context no matter what settings I used. Interesting to see it works really well on bass.

In terms of functionality, the BDDI is great. You just have to accept that it is fairly limited in terms of tone and colours your sound. I really like mine but would like the opportunity of trying out the alternatives (mainly the MXR and Agular models) before I would recommend it to anyone as a lot of people won't like it.

Bought a Line 6 EX-1 off him, he sent it very quickly and refunded me immediately when I overpaid because I can't read Good stuff!

SFX Micro Fuzz? I was going to suggest D*A*M if you can find one.

Earlier Warwicks have narrow but deep necks which I find much easier to play that flat, wide Fender style necks. I have small hands, small enough I'm regularly mocked when comparing them with the hands of women smaller than me. That said, I can adjust fairly easily so I wouldn't worry unless your hands really are freakishly small. Personally, I'd go Warwick as they're really cheap at the moment and might improve re-sale wise if you decide you don't like it in a year or so. I play a '98 Warwick Streamer btw.

Mmmm, Indian Rosewood tele....

I think my amp is too big to fit on top of my vertical cab but I can always run it off the floor. Make you wonder why most cab makers don't address the problem. Would separating, for example, a 4 by 10 internally into 2 sets of 2 by 10s make any difference?

So a 2 * 12 guitar cab would benefit then? I'll give it a try next practice. Thanks.

I think its just wattage of most powerful speaker times number of speakers so it should still be 100 watts. And yeah, looks series to me too so 16 ohms.

Does this apply to guitar cabs too? Is there any benefit of stacking them vertically?

Apparently the Korg is true bypass which makes sense why the battery lasted so much longer when not switched on so if you use batteries it's probably the better buy.

That's common with most pedals, plugging the jack in completes the circuit and it starts drawing current. Boss pedals aren't true bypass so I assume draw more when not engaged that ones that are.

Alternatively look at the Thomann copy of a Beta 58-the T Bone MB85.I know a few top sound guys who use them as their main vocal mic-one guy in particular recently used one for Beverly Knight.[/quote] I've got a D5 too, decent mikes and reasonably priced enough to give one a try for the sake of it. I think I paid £50 for mine.

I have small, girly hands so I'm fine with that.

[quote name='GЯДИК' post='1308090' date='Jul 18 2011, 05:00 PM']The guitar part though sounding more simple is actually harder to play! The bassline indeed sounds complex but is pretty easy really[/quote] It's the really fast strumming on the top 3 strings that gets me, I keep loosing grip on the pick. But yeah, the bassline is nice and easy and fun to play.

Got asked to help out a friends acoustic band with a few songs at Sheffield Pride yesterday. Played on 3 songs with 2 rehearsals and it went alright. There are already 6 people in the band so it's not like I was carrying any of the tunes, just adding mandolin, glock and ukulele. It was interesting, I wish I hadn't been rotten hungover but there we go.

£740? Just buy a synth already!

Started off on guitar (because of Metallica, who I now have very little respect for) and bought a bass before coming to uni as I figured there were probably more bass playing opportunities than guitar ones. Turns out there were, and as an added bonus, playing bass was loads of fun and less pressure than guitar.

[quote name='thodrik' post='1307156' date='Jul 17 2011, 10:16 PM']She obviously has a good deal of talent but I think that a lot of the attention she gets (both good and bad) is based on how she looks rather than what she does. Shocking that such a thing could happen in the music industry![/quote] I was going to say something along those lines but you said it much better than I would have. Best of luck to her, she's clearly not a bad player by any stretch even though what she's doing isn't my thing at all.

I remember someone saying it introduced noise, not sure if that's why they stopped doing them though.
