    A flamethrower for the headstock. Some kind of OTT inlay- like the Vietnamese ones on Ebay but without looking like it was drawn by a twelve year old. If you could work the LEDs into it that would be cool, IMHO anyway

    Hi all, I'm looking to sell my Boss PW10 V-Wah. It's been sitting unused pretty much since I got it (from Ant back on Bassworld IIRC) except for a few Cliff Burton moments. Turns out I'm not really a fuzz/wah kinda guy If you are, this should fulfill most of your wah needs, as well as distortions and some cool vowel sound effects. It does have a bass specific wah model, as well as the ability to customise the wah sound- get the full specs [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/PW-10/"]here.[/url] Will try and get some pics up soon but its in prefect condition (albeit slightly dusty ) These are going for a ton on eBay, so how does [s]£60[/s] £50 shipped and signed for sound? Comes with the original (quite beaten) box and a printout of the manual. Can throw in a generic 9v power supply for an extra fiver. Or I might trade/PX for an Akai Headrush or something similar. Or if you have any other cool trades, try me, the worst I can say is no. Cheers all Kyle

    Can't say I like those two that much but I love the fact they're named Sauron and Battlestar!

    "Status" clearly also includes that you must live in England/Wales I beg your pardon, England only at this point.

    I like a nice clean punchy tone, and I heartily recommend the use of 3 fingers (a la Mr Sheehan) to achieve speed. Harmonically it's pretty straightforward, following the guitar most of the time and filling in around them when they go off on a twin lead odyssey. I also get to do the odd tapping break, and I quite enjoy doubling lead guitar lines (sweeps etc). You can check it out at the link in my sig.

    That gives me a "board error"?

    I've reserved my tickets

    Burning Earth- www.myspace.com/onceburningearth Metal! Glasgow Headline or support Most of our songs are pretty long, we could probably do 90 minutes if we had to. The bar would do great business if we did.

    And, I've just noticed (no, I've not been staring at that ad for eight minutes!), "another quality attribute is the encased and in oil stored mechanic". I've no idea what that means but it sounds filthy.

    Extra points for referring to one's "massive maple corpus".

    That seems to be around the going rate for a bass whammy- they're not made any more and the bass model seems somewhat sought after. I think it has some harmony modes that aren't on the red versions.

    I'd suggest keeping an eye on the classifieds at Talkbass.com- if you can find a seller who doesn't mind shipping you might be able to get an even better deal.

    [quote name='Prosebass' post='281400' date='Sep 10 2008, 08:58 PM']Looks quite functional, whats the amp ?[/quote] The preamp is a Boss VF1 and the power amp is a BK Electronics module I bought from Dood on here. The cab is a 1x15" of pretty much unknown provenance but it is rubbish. TBH the cab's the only thing I really want to replace.

    Sounds like Pitchshifter.

    And listening to Suffocation to get in the mood? -Take a stool if you can -Take a pencil! Even better, take two. -A doughnut or something to stop your spike slipping. -If you're playing as part of a section, just remember that the principal is meant to be blamed for any mistakes. If you're the only one, or playing principal, just remember no one really listens to the basses anyway Do you know what pieces you're playing yet? Let us know how you get on anyway.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='282144' date='Sep 11 2008, 08:46 PM']Stethescope, taped you your bass. The 'True Tone'. If you think that is silly, there is actually a procust that is effectively that called the butterfly or something.[/quote] I think its the Dragonfly? I just tried plugging my Roland headphones directly into my bass- I got nothing, even with my Conklin's 18V preamp maxed.

    Is there much you can do on as Stick that you can't do on an extended range bass?
  18. velvetkevorkian
    Basslab make a headphone amp that can be fitted internally, although I think it requires an extra hole to be drilled for another jack. Go to www.basslab.de and click on electronics-->bassxx head.

    6 piece, for that epic feel. edit- well, it will be once we find a new drummer.

    My current rig...

    Devin Townsend- not a bassist but a master producer as well as an all round wierdo genius/guitar hero.
  22. velvetkevorkian
    Trace Elliot- never gotten a tone I liked out of one. Same for Ashdown. Stupidly big and heavy rigs- size isn't everything guys.
  23. velvetkevorkian
    +1 for the Violin Shop- they have a good range of basses and bows, as well as accessories, and are pretty happy to let you try stuff out.
  24. velvetkevorkian
    I would just like to add that Byron Stroud is a legitimate metal god.
  25. velvetkevorkian
    Kind Of Blue is a good starting point.
