Because of the style of what we do, we are a little limited in terms of venues ( classic rock /metal),
When looking for new venues, I tend to spend some time online looking at gig listings of bands that play similar music as well as tapping up friends in other bands, and our drummist calls them and gives them the chat
We have a pretty good success rate
The chord bod 50 retails at £35 ish and is surprisingly good. Better than the odb3 IMO.
The old dod bass overdrive, and bass grunge are also worth a look. they can be had relatively cheaply on eBay
i have a hustle drive and shimverb.
Both are very nice pedals, no low end loss and sit well in a mix.
Im looking forward to the pure octave, and the filter pedal coming out.
for the money, they represent great value for money
These things are circular- there have always been times when the talk has been of how long will any instrument be around.
The challenge is how we maintain relevance and keep up rather than wondering whether the bass player will be made extinct by x or y.
In time it will swing back, but keep moving forward in the mean time
Tbh I've let my subscription lapse.
IMO, the deal to resubscribe was not as good as the first time subscription. Surely it wouldn't be hard to offer even just a fiver off the price. (£38.50 + gift for a newbie vs £38.50 to resub?)
The mag is perhaps worth the occasional one off purchase, but I don't believe it is as consistent as it could be.
Obviously this is all my opinion, ymmv etc....
Essentials for me are a tuner, gritty low gain drive and chorus
In reality I use these plus another drive and/ or fuzz dependant on the situation, wah, filter, delay, synth and eq to compensate for differing basses
The talk is that the od is based around the pork loin.
Was never a fan of the PL, but I'll give it a try! It's my duty, being an mxr fanboy!
Apparently, the chorus does have a flanger switch.
The chorus is rumoured to be shipping before the end of the year and the od around namm time (in the states, that is)
With st I saw him using tobias basses among others.
What does it list on the gear blurb on lights, camera, revolution?
If I get a chance, I'll have a look later
