  1. If my tuition fees magically disappear overnight, I know where my savings are going...
  2. Opeth - Godhead's Lament It sounds like an evil carousel some awesome riffs in there.
  3. AFAIK, germanium-transistor-based effects don't like active basses very much. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've got a Fuzzrocious Green Stache - it's awesome, like a green Big Muff but holds the low end ver well and has more crunch..they're not easy to find but they crop up in the second hand section from time to time. My other fuzz is a Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B which is versatile but aggressive and a bit more harsh sounding than the Green Stache.. I also use a Zvex Mastotron for chainsaw type fuzz, if you're looking for that.
  4. Cheers for the help guys (especially Al, I tried but it's hard to do a vertical Falcon kick when playing my Warwick. It's a little too heavy, nothing to do with my insufficient athletic ability in any way, shape or form) - I should've remembered Martin Owen, he modded my Phase 90 a while ago. Duuuuuh.
  5. I picked up a Boss OC-2 off of Ebay, unfortunately doesn't work. Well, it does if you turn it upside down. Sounds like a bad contact or something - can anyone recommend where I can get it fixed?
  6. Sigh. £12,000 worth of tuition fees and 3 years of higher education (1 remaining) and I can't even connect a quick-connect pickup cable the right way. I'm an idiot. Thanks very much for your help, sorry for the, er, cretiny!
  7. Here's the reply I got from EMG: [quote]Rob I assume both p/ups are working and that you've replaced all the original wiring and pots with the kit as supplied What you describe is not indicative of a battery connection problem as the units will not work passively. A weak signal means it's going somewhere it shouldn't. I suggest you check the install again very carefully as low output usually indicates a partial signal short to ground or bad solder joint. Check very carefully for dry joints, wires trapped under the scratchplate or whiskers touching the shielding etc. Make sure the QC cable is correctly fitted and making firm contact If you can't find the fault please contact the dealer who supplied the p/ups who will evaluate the problem and take any necessary action. Thanks.[/quote] He says it doesn't work passively, but I get the same output with or without the battery. So I don't know what I'm meant to do :/
  8. These pickups are supposedly hot, but I'm getting a pretty tiny output from them compared to my Warwick/Pedulla - it barely registers on my amp unless I've turned the input all the way up on passive mode (I'm getting some sound by using my boost pedal, but it's not really enough). I've adjusted the pickups as close as possible to the strings and changed batteries...everything's wired alright I think. My soldering's not amazing, but I did what the thing said. What's going wrong?
  9. That's some serious boardage you've got there wow. Would replacing your Landmine with a landmine count as "banter" or would it be a "step" too far?
  10. [quote name='Spartacus' post='546992' date='Jul 21 2009, 08:41 PM']looks like everything outside of N17s too out of the way for these guys [/quote] Heh, only because I live halfway to Oxford on the very end of the Met Line
  11. Right up my street but Turnpike Lane's a little out of the way. Sigh.
  12. [quote name='bobbass4k' post='543707' date='Jul 18 2009, 12:50 AM']Looking good man, good to hear the green stache is treating you well, if you ever get a chance try it on guitar, i almost kept it just for that, and i'd replace the oc-3 with an oc-2 if i were you[/quote] I'm so glad I bought it! It sounds absolutely brutal when running my Warwick (via the Cream Pie) through it...love the grittiness. I've heard that the OC-2 is better than the OC-3...would that honestly be the best option?
  13. A little update...need to rewire it as it's so damn messy at the moment. I've basically replaced the Russian Big Muff with the Green Stache (whilst the Big Muff had sentimental value, the Green Stache is so good, less woolly, fewer unwanted harmonics, better low end and grittier than the BMs) and Blowtorch with the Mastotron. I'm contemplating replacing my OC-3 but I'm not sure which octaver I'd replace it with, especially considering size restraints.
  14. Blowtorch sold pending payment
  15. What length are the "patch cable" length ones? The metre length one may be useful though, some of my pedalboard wiring is pretty strained.
