I can relate to this, I had purchased new what I considered the bass of my dreams about 4 or 5 years ago - a Streamer Stage 1 5 string (£1700) - I'd had a 4 previously which was superb quality and sounded fantastic (should never have moved it on), the 5 in comparison was extremely heavy, sounded very dark and didn't cut through the mix at all well - highs/mids were simply lost!? I persevered with it and would always start a gig with it - however 5 or 6 songs in and I always found myself reaching for my back up bass - a Squier Jazz Bass, by comparison this sounded amazing - even the guys in the band noticed my fills and commented how good the Squier sounded. I still have it today and up until recently had always been my back up on stage - I recently sold a Marcus Miller 4 as again I was finding it would be lost in the mix and have since replaced it with a Geddy Lee Jazz - this I would say is on a par with the Squier - perhaps even marginally better. I'd picked up the Squier used for £130 - so definitely consider it budget.

Just sold a Markbass 151HR to Gary, great communications and anhassle free transaction - thanks. Would have no hesitation in buying from or selling to in the future. Best Regards, Pete

Just received a bridge cover & screws from Andy - I'd advertised in items wanted I was looking for the item and he very kindly agreed to post the goods and supply the cover at no cost! I definitely owe him a beer if/when we cross paths - what a top gentleman! Thanks again Andy.

So here's my modest board at the moment: Just need to have a rethink to find space for Brown Dog & Agent 00Funk, I've also got an old EHX Octave Multiplexer which I quite like the Sub functionality - Hmm?

Just purchased a Brown Dog of the Chunk Systems variety from Mike - seamless transaction - thanks, Pete

I've just purchased a Chunk Systems Agent 00funk MKII from Mark - nice guy to deal with, trouble free transaction. Best Regards, Pete

Cheers guys, more research it seems - think I'll have to try and find a supplier locally and see what they sound like in the flesh. I certainly wasn't aware of the 3Leaf or the Prometheus Deluxe so shall be checking those out! Thanks again, I'll have to try and get some pics up of my home made pedal board - it's nothing like most on the show us yours thread but works for me.

Hi all, my foray into effects continues - I've been considering a filter type pedal for a while but am a tad uncertain as to what to go for - have seen demos on youtube of lots of different envelope filters etc and am more confused than ever!? Did like the sound of both Subdecay pedals particularly though. So thought I'd chuck it out here to see what's everyone's opinion/experiences/thoughts are - and maybe I've overlooked something, so am always open to new recommendations. Cheers, Pete. PS: Just purchased Chunk Systems Brown Dog so had also thought about their 00Funk pedal too - any thoughts?
