I'm using an old DOD octoplus - which i absolutely adore! , although i've had experience of the OC2, MXR BOD, MXR bass octave and, Digitech BSW. I'm liking the sound of the BOD, and keen to hear samples of the aguilar octamizer.

looks like one of the gator ones

Hi. i've been doing a lot of repairs for pupils etc. recently, and i'm needing to find a source for the nuts that fit on jack sockets. all of the research i've done so far has returned with try maplin, or the fastener / fixings guy. No joy there i'm afraid! subsequently, pretty all of my stock of Sockets now only have one nut on them - pretty much defeating the object of me holding stock! does anyone know of a good, reliable source that will sell me just the nut and possibly some suitable washers too?

That's the one! I like these so much that i have two. bloody brilliant pedal - i can get a good geezer tone (NIB), all the way via Cliff esque sounds to a funky sweep not unlike some of the wowee clips posted above. there are also two trim pots accessible from underneath the pedal, which adjust the sweep of the pedal - often forgotten, but very useful!

i get mine done by in tune too.

i'd give the obligatory Weeping Demon suggestion - one of the single most adjustable wahs out there, and great for bass. However it does have a fairly large footprint. IIRC it's not as big as a morley, but still larger than a 105Q. on top of that it only retails at about £110

the weeping demon is what i use to get close. it's about £110 retail, but deals are always to be found! It's probably the most adjustable wah i have seen (or heard!)

is it just me, or do they both look pretty much the same?

They don't tend to have vast amounts of bass stock, but what they do have is normally pretty reasonable.

although their reputation is not great, i have been able to try stuff at the bass cellar on denmark st. there is normally a few interesting bits to try. the other option is music ground, who have moved into the old "andy's" shop on the corner. there is normally a pretty good selection there, and they always seem keen to help. I've also had good experiences with Macari's on charing cross road. again, keen to help, and normally some good stock / prices too.

it depends on the situation really. with more driving material, the drive is always on. howevr when doing more 'souly' material most likely not. horses for courses!

i'm full time too. when i'm not gigging/ recording/ writing, i'm teaching. the key thing for me has been the networking side of things - these are the avenues for people to put you forward as a player / dep / sessioneer. great chops, reading, and image help to open avenues too. as has been said before dogged determination can take you far ! PS. monday's my day off too!

+1 to the intellitouch tuners. great units, dependable and accurate. i always have two - one in the office / teaching space, and one in the teaching bag! TBH most of the cheapy ones are just that! i have also used the ENO brand. As long as the battery is good, you'll have no issues (as long as you make sure the only string vibrating is the one being tuned) all this obviously IME. YMMV of course!

+1 on the marshall great sounds, great price!

absolutely tragic.

the m*nge box ??

i have a friend who was the audience clapping on a peter gabriel live album. apparently they were out of time with the performance, and the clapping sound was sampled and my friend had to sit through the particular song 'clapping' on a keyboard. whenever i have done live recordings, i'll not re do anything. either it's good enough to release or it isn't!
