[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1422093540' post='2668554'] NAMM = Not Available, Maybe May lol [/quote] Bueno Not really a fan of the Rat sound but that pedal does do what it does well. Good on Ryan at Fuzzrocious, I wish him the best of luck with his collaborations with MXR.

Update: I received my DBS check some time ago. A squeaky-clean record and the paperwork to prove it!

I wonder how much of that perceived tonal improved is coming from that rather nice Ampeg he's running through being pushed with a bit of extra gain from that pedal. I'm very curious what feedback it gets it gets into players' hands. At the moment it doesn't seem like much more than a preamp with a gain circuit.

Spencer is a smart guy and I doubt he'd do anything to harm the legitimacy of his business. That said, it is possibly somewhat in poor taste. As far as I understood it when 3Leaf/DG started collaborating Spencer helped redesign the B3K and B7K so I don't know exactly where it places him in the whole affair.

It depends on what chorus sound you'd want. If you want something more subtle you could go for a Neunaber Chorus, Iron Ether Polytope or the detune setting on a Digitech Whammy. These pedals produce a more subtle "shimmer" rather than a "warble" which can be overpowering in some circumstances. That said, the IE Polytope can go into the realms of absurd and "when am I ever going to use this?" I really fell in love with the Analogman Clone Chorus for its thick, rich swells and organic nature. Bear in mind that a lot of chorus effects can add some faint high-end noise. If you use tweeters or have a very treble heavy rig then some pedals are going to produce more hiss than others.

This is stating the obvious but it's interesting to see the trend of bassists moving towards smaller rigs, like 2x10s and 2x12s. Here's what I've been using for a few years: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2013-05-04232325.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/2013-05-04232325.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Having moved back to Pembrokeshire after studying in Cardiff for several years I've decided to start teaching. I began playing bass as a teenager and learned under several great musicians but I received my foundations from a local tutor called John Rodge (currently a guitarist by trade but is a former session bassist). I've spent the last twelve years playing in numerous bands and ensembles and am familiar, and comfortable, with most styles and genres of music. I'm more than happy to teach notation and tab, and I aim to tailor my lessons to the individual pupil. I'm currently taking on beginner-to-intermediate students (or if you're quite advanced but feel like you've hit a brick wall with your playing I can probably help you break out of your rut ) I charge £18/hour and will provide the relevant learning materials for you to take home to practise with. My contact number is: 07814438795. Cheers! Bob

This is a trebel bezel designed to fill the horrible gap left over after the removal of the chrome pickup cover. This one in particular is the standard (this means it's flat without a thumbrest). More information and pictures of these bezels being used can be found at the maker's site here: [url="http://www.tubeampology.com/"]http://www.tubeampology.com/[/url] It has seen some fair use and abuse over the years. As you can see below the black coating has been scuffed and chipped around the sides. This was from being a bit heavy handed in installation (I was convinced they sat 100% flush but they don't quite). Most of the wear you can see is not visible once installed: [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-27052204.jpg.html"][/url] I'm after [b]£15 posted[/b] for this Cheers! Bob

Hey dudes and dudettes I've got a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P bass pickups and a Gibson 500T + 496R humbucker set for sale. Both sets of pickups are used with some surface scratches and come with mounting screws (Seymours will come with some used pickup foam). Both are hot as hell if that floats your boat Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P bass Pickup - [b]SOLD[/b] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-27051715.jpg.html"][/url] Gibson 500T + 496R Guitar Humbuckers (ceramic high gain) - [b]SOLD[/b] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-27051704.jpg.html"][/url] Cheers!

https://soundcloud.com/bigbassbob/youre-doom-superstition That's a clip I made just after getting the Doom. I've gotten nicer tones out of them since and I've done some recording that hasn't been mixed yet. I'm using the pair on an interesting track for the bass line with an electric according on higher range synth duties.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1398323383' post='2432786'] I don't want one [i]that[/i] badly. [/quote] If there was some sort of group discount I'd be interested but £12 for a vinyl sticker is a bit much for me. Then again, my OCD does want me to grab one

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1398039879' post='2429845'] I'll take one if he does! That thing looks great! [/quote] [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1398066003' post='2429924'] Make that me three then! [/quote] I got a reply from Max. He already has plenty of white ones ready for enclosures so he'd have to get it custom made. £12 for one if you guys are interested?

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1397514458' post='2424797'] dude - my OCD would have led to me painting that micro thumpinator black by now [/quote][quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1397627138' post='2425715'] Scan or photograph the label, invert it in an image editor and print it on a suitable adhesive paper or plastic. [/quote] It had been annoying me but guys, that is a brilliant idea. I'll have to look into this! Two minutes in MS Paint.... [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/inverted.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/inverted.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The answer is yes.

Hi guys, here's a Fender Mark Hoppus Precision bass neck for sale. This is from a 2011 Mark Hoppus P (made in Mexico) and as such has a 70s Fender "TV" logo on the headstock and has the truss rod access at the heel of the neck like a US Fender. Modern C shape, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard. Standard P bass specs (20 frets, 34 inch scale length). Overall in pretty good condition, saw about a year's worth of intermittent playing before swapped out for a neck with a maple board. The truss rod works as it should and there's no issues with neck. It has a small ding on the edge of the fingerboard just past the third fret on the bass side but it's not noticeable while playing. I'll also throw in a Fender F stamp neckplate and some bolts.

Hi guys, up for sale is my Iron Ether Subterranea. [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-16000649.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-16000715.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-04-16000726.jpg.html"][/url] I received this pedal around December after being on a waiting list for quite some time. It's an incredible pedal with two synth voices (uni and octave down) which both have three different wave forms. It also has a clean blend and an OC2 style octave with a timbre control. All of these different voices can be mixed how you like. More info can be found here: [url="http://ironether.com/pedals/subterranea/"]http://ironether.com...ls/subterranea/[/url] All of my projects and work for the past six months haven't required much in the way of effects. I've used this a total of three times at home and with a holiday in Nashville on the horizon I could really do with the money right now. I loathe to say this usually but this pedal is literally in mint condition and considering that Iron Ether aren't currently taking any new orders I think someone here could be in for a tidy pedal for a reasonable price [b]£110 posted[/b] Cheers!

The longer they were present the more I felt they were garish and on some dark stages they made it more difficult to see my settings.
