looks like an igniter shape body. shame about the finish though!. why oh why do they have to include the testicle rest on the headstock though??!

i think it is something to do with Staus and Ashdown. I seem to remember the bass player from embrace talking about something very similar in an old Bass Guitar Magazine.

Flight case! holds everything from pedals and wireless system to a small powered monitor and tool kit

great to see another Dean lover! i love both of my metalman models - i have the ML and Demonator. Jim is right about the pickups - these are really hot, tight and soooo punchy!! The main problem is finding cases foer them!!

Cheers dude!

hi could i get a schematic too please?

and here's what it sounded like before the overdub that sounded like my old car!

absolutely, it would be wasted if i didn't use it! as a former Cellist, my little finger is also quite strong.

Yes they do! i have one that moves between instruments. I find that it tightens the sound up nicely, and really adds sustain too.

thanks for that dude. i think this pedal's goimg on the 'want' list!

that's great - the indent is at the top with 1,4 and 7 down the left sie cheers!

"Is that TPDT (as in Three Pole Double Throw with 9 contacts on the switch) ?" that's it! "Are there any markings on the poles of the switch (other than just numbers) ?" No numbers, no markings apart from a small indent on one side of the casing. "Do you have a multimeter at all ?" Yes I do!

i just got hold of some tpdt switches, however i can't work out which way up to wire it. is there any way i can tell which way up it (the switch) goes?

TBH i love them. I picked them both up for as song!, but that aside, i played every bass in the shop looking to spend about a grand and walked away with the demonator initially, and then later the ML they are really punchy for passive basses, and play fantastically. (I like a reasonable action with 50 -110 strings) i would definitely replace them if anything happened to them. All i need now is to find hard cases for them!!

Hi just acquired an EHX nano clone, as part of my quest to own every pedal in the world mu hah hah! whilst popping the battery in, i noticed a couple of trim pots inside. does anyone know what they do, as i don't particularly want to change anything inside without knowing what's what! cheers!

i have had pupils perform it for years as part of their grade 8 studies. It shows many techniques, and doesn't necessarily have to be played using the effects either - in fact i generally prefer to play it clean and save the tasty muff + wah work to cliff!

anaesthesia? i used it for an audition once, and was asked once i'd finished if i played anything apart from jazz!?!

please forgive the dodgy pics! from the top left, we have the Ibanez Rd400, next to the Vox White shadow fretless w/ Badass, followed by my De'Armond by Guild Jetstar, and finally in this row my P bass Lyte (around '94 / 95!) In front there is my Ibanez BTB405QM, sitting next to the USA S1 p bass, and next to the Dean Metalman ML, and Metalman Demonator. In the middle of it all is the CH guitars M16 machine gun. Always a hit when i play it in church, and sounds punchy as hell! Also works out fantastically for all of those Steve Harris machine gun type moments!!! Not included in this rogues gallery are my acoustic bass (a 10 year old westfield), and my Dean Pace bass (known as "The Rake" in these parts!)

thanks for that dude. a well rounded review!

i use 50 - 110 an all of my fours, and 45 - 130 on fives. mainly rotos, but occasionally daddys if i fancy a change. I play 95% finger style, a little pick, and i'm a bad slapper!

i thought the Guy Pratt book was ok, i enjoyed the Alex James book, The Slash onewas a great loo reader! i also enjoyed Kiss and make up by Gene simmons, Crazy from the heat by diamond dave lee roth, White line fever by Lemmy, How black was our sabbath, and for a great musically based read try either of Seb hunter's books - Hell bent for leather, or Rock me amadeus.

+1 to the above! avoid the freeport stuff. if you get the 372 system and ew300iem they are only half a unit!
