A lot of Harley Benton stuff seems to be made in the same places as other name gear, eg their GA5 guitar head is the same as an Epiphone Valve Junior but notably cheaper. I'm not sure what this is based on though and a quick google search didn't bring up anything. Maybe someone more knoweldgable might be able to help out with this one?

I think the alloy backs are standard, very nice sounding amp from the spec. Sounds like it's going to look a bit like my baby. Somewhere in The Netherlands... [attachment=70355:IMGP0066.JPG]

No. Nicky Wire uses one. Nuff said.

Dunno if it helps anyone but I used to use one of those car seatbelt cushions attached with velcro to my guitar strap. I got to keep my rock solid Levy's strap and it made it more comfortable for use over long periods. Might be worth a try if you're a bit dubious about 'comfort' straps.

+1 for the Boss, nice and simple pedal that works well and can be had for cheap. Same for the Planet Waves tuner but the pedal case is a bit odd. I'd probably go for a PitchBlack if I ever had to replace it, always had good experience with Korgs.

I knew some basics of speaker response but not about headphones, your post was very informative and helpful. Thanks.

Just got back from recording today and they had them so they must be pretty decent. Didn't use them as I DI'd with my Sansamp (which the engineer loved) and stayed in the control room.

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1098253' date='Jan 22 2011, 12:12 AM']Who is that rather luscious lady with the tasty rack setup?[/quote] See my previous post. Christina Hendricks of Mad Men (or Firefly if you're cool) fame.

[quote name='clauster' post='1097775' date='Jan 21 2011, 04:47 PM']Most threads related to daisy-chaining these pedals resulting in a high-pitched whine, but not always.[/quote] That seems to be the usual problem according with EHX stuff to the Diago powerstation compatability chart but it doesn't have the bass blogger on there. The only thing I can find was saying they needed an isolated supply which you probably saw too.

I saw one in good condition in a guitar shop a year or 2 ago for £45. Still regret not picking it up

Where's the guy with the Christina Hendricks avatar pic when you need nice racks discussing?

[quote name='bumnote' post='1093828' date='Jan 18 2011, 01:53 PM']thats very nice[/quote] +1 I'd have matched the headstock to the body colour but that's just personal preference.

Could be a unique and interesting bass if you can iron its flaws out. Best of luck, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

umph builds pedals, not sure if he built the one he refers to but might be worth asking. Feedback loopers sacre me personally, not a fan of the crazy noise.

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1092806' date='Jan 17 2011, 05:34 PM']It's worth pointing out that you'd need a pickup, convertor and module for what you want to do. I use a GK3b into a AX101 into a MicroKorg (although I've used a variety of hard and softsynths in the past.[/quote] I had a look at your blog but I'm pretty dumb about this kind of thing. Would that setup work plugging into any midi capable synth?

[quote name='Rich44' post='1092999' date='Jan 17 2011, 07:47 PM']In terms of sound, can someone explain what frequency responses are about?[/quote] Not really, I assume it's the same as speakers whereby the less db loss you get on low frequencies the better. Sounds like you need a pair of closed back 'phones. Have a look at Sennheiser HD201 or 202. Both are in your budget and look pretty good.

Seems like there's some good info [url="http://www.musicradar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48728"]here.[/url]

I'd give the OC2 as clean a signal as possible by putting it first. BSW (Bass synth wah?) would normally go after distortion but I'd imagine there's some cool sounds to be had by putting it after as you have done. Is it worth making a sticky thread on pedal order? Admin?

Hmm, I get the feeling it's going to be cheaper to get a 2nd hand Tonehammer and a decent power amp.

Any word on price?
