0175westwood29 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 looking for a wah wah pedal, for some parts in my band where we all think it will sound cool. i am moving on a vintage wah i have as it just doesnt really wah all that much and cuts the tone as its a guitar wah! just looking for a wah, maybe with a slight volume boost? i know that the 105q has this as i had one a while back but before i just go and buy another are there any others i could look into? andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 ibanez weeping demon. probably the one of the most adjustable mass produced wahs on the market. switching manually or automatic, switching delay (on auto setting), adjustable treadle tension, volume, Q, Bass level etc... good with guitar, but awesome with bass. best of all it retails at about £110 well worth a good try.

Phaedrus Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 There are a few out there. I've been looking for a bass wah recently too, and have listened to a few sound clips and watched a few review videos. I've tried the Dunlop 105Q and it didn't excite me - not enough wah, and non-intuitive (for me). Not that it matters, but I don't like how it looks, either, though it is neat, as wahs go. I preferred the sound clips of the Morley PBA-2, and have used my guitarist's Mark Tremonti guitar wah - I like the way it works, and how it looks, though it does have a big footprint. A BC member suggested I consider the WD, and I found this video, which impressed me when he uses it on bass (around 5:50): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EnKSkaymdA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EnKSkaymdA[/url] There may be more to interest you here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57876&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57876&hl=[/url] I'm currently sold on the WD-7 (found one second hand), but I just listened to the PBA-2 sound clips again, and I really like them: [url="http://www.morleypedals.com/dpba-2.html"]http://www.morleypedals.com/dpba-2.html[/url] Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have an 105q, but if I didn't, I'd get [url="http://www.glab.com.pl/bass_wowee-wah_en"]this.[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzombie Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 One of these maybe? [url="http://www.wilsoneffects.com/BassWahs.html"]http://www.wilsoneffects.com/BassWahs.html[/url] Might cost a bit to get shipped over though, especially if it gets caught by the customs junta.

dannybuoy Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I reckon the Wilson is your best bet if you don't mind spending the extra cash... I'm thinking of ordering the vintage spec 12-position myself. Also, I've heard the that Morley Power Wah is much better than the Dual Bass Wah. Also the new G-Labs Wowee bass wah sounds great from the clips I've seen on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0175westwood29 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 tried the boss v wah today and its no good for bass, also tried a few crybabys out for a laugh! the dimebag wah was quite nice on the bass, but it seemed to have a really slow wah and i played i want not a savage wah but something with range on it. but i'd def try out the dime wah on my rig if i could afford to waste the money. no ibanez or 105q in the shop for me to try and also no morley wah's apart from the guitar ones andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I really wanted to try the boss wah on bass. I heard it do some amazing things on guitar. I use a Wah Probe, but I use it in a blender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLondon Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 On a recommendation from another member on here I have been trying out the Stanley Clarke EBS wah and it sounds pretty cool, there's loads you can do with it but it won't be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Morley wahs are excellent. Well worth a look. +1 on the EBS also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'll chuck in a shout for the Moog MF-101 with the exp pedal. Will set you back about £180 - £200 new for both, but has CV options & you can get loads of control over it. Only downside is the size for some people, I prefer it as I don't want a dozen pedals on my board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The Snarling Dogs Bass Bawl is awesome,as is the 105Q, I have both and they're different, tbh. If I were getting a new one though I'd get the TM Stevens one though simply because he's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 tried a 105q again today! just managed to get one of a fellow bass chatter! so wah troubles gone! andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use a Boss chorus for the intro to Fly Away by Lenny Krevice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkonthehill Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have the bootzilla fuzz/wah by snarling dogs. best fuzz and wah you can get. definetlyworth a punt with one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
