  1. [size=3]Boss ME50B![/size]

    Right, if you play bass then you've probably heard of this pedal.

    If you haven't, go to this link and have a look at it: [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/ME-50B/"]Boss Website[/url]



    To break it down, this pedal has six separate sections: [b]Compressor/Limiter, Master, Filter/Tone, Drive/Synth, Delay/Modulation and Expression Pedal[/b].

    Each section has a huge range of tones that can be adapted to suit any sound, any need. 23 knobs, 3 built in pedals and 1 multifunction expression pedal.

    You can use the multiFX in two ways. as 3 separate stomp boxes:

    [b]Filter and Tone[/b]: T. Wah, Octave (Up / Down), Slow Gear, Defretter, Enhancer, Bottom Boost, Mid Shape, Hollow.

    [b]Drive / Synth[/b]: 7 Distortions and 4 Synths!

    [b]Delay/Modulation[/b]: Variations types of: Delay, Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Reverb.

    And of course a tuner!


    The pedal also features:

    Noise Suppressor
    Master EQ
    Effects for Expression Pedal: Foot Volume, Wah, Resonance, Bend (+1 OCTAVE, -1 OCTAVE), Sound Hold, Kick Drum.


    They can be used separately or you can preprogram patches for ease of use live.



    This is a great pedal, unfortunately I need the money for more basic things like an amp :).

    I can post this, in it's original box, with the manual.


    £125 inc postage.

    Trades for di/preamp type pedals and power amps considered.



    Cheers!



  2. I'm one of those students who has the books with the notation and tab underneath, it is almost impossible I think to not look at the tab when it is just there. However, every other bass player my age that I know relies on tab :)

    I personally think that the best thing to do would be to separate the two parts out like was mentioned above, but only if economically viable. Otherwise you would be defeating the object of having the tab in there to start with, to reach this wider market and get more sales. Otherwise the 'traditional' line of tab under each line of notation may be the best option...

    Oh and I'd love to 'trial' your book like :)
