I'm currently running both the Octave Deluxe and the Micro Pog on my board. They're very different pedals. I like the Octave Deluxe for how meaty and dirty is sounds, whereas I tend to find if Pog is switched on, my delay pedal is probably on too, since the Pog lends itself nicely to ambient styles - but that's by no means all the Pog can do. The tracking on the Pog is far better than the Octave Deluxe, although that's not to say the tracking on the Deluxe is bad, it's just the Pog can do the whole polyphonic tracking lark. I know I'm pretty much repeating what thisnameistaken has already said here, but I thought I'd just share my thoughts as I run both of the aforementioned pedals.

That would look great next to my 74 P-bass. Hmmm.....

I started on guitar 11 years ago, then a few years later I discovered how much I enjoy playing bass

Oh dear. Goodbye student loan.

Try the MXR Octave Deluxe pedal. I play my 74 Jazz through mine and, having tried numerous octave pedals, this is by far the most consistent and reliable for live playing that I've found. It also records very well. Most importantly, it sounds fantastic.

I'm a big fan of the MXR Octave Deluxe, but I think it behaves a lot nicer in an effect loop. I run mine in a Barge loop on my board and blend in a bit of dry signal to tidy up the sound. Great pedal though, sounds evil!

Very useful and well made bit of kit. My pedalboard would be lost without my Barge looper. Best of luck with the sale.

i have one of these! it am awesome. first cab i've owned that sounds great no matter what amp you put through it.

Jilly's on smack

What a cool looking bass! I have no advice on pricing, I just wanted to share my thoughts on that 4 string mojo-machine!

Can we re-do this as a poll?

I like the note of A, mostly the one on my E string.

Go back a few pages to see Alexs reaction

I'm surprised this is still available. There's regularly posts on the forum about people wanting a good 5 string on a budget, well here it is!

That's a very refined setup for Juan

Practice, practice, practice I don't think Ray 5's are the easiest to slap on, but with practice you'll get the angles just right with your right hand. If you learn to slap well on your 5 string, going back to a 4 will feel so easy in comparison.

Very tempted by this! Looking forward to seeing some more pics

Perhaps it goes to show that masses of volume isn't always needed on stage. He probably had plenty of what he needed to hear coming from the monitors.

An absolute steal at this price

40-100's for me, except my P-Bass which I think really benefits from a set of 45-105's.

I really like the sound of Slinky's on both bass and guitar for the first couple of weeks of use but I find they lose their brightness quicker than D'Addario strings, hence I stick with D'Addario.

I like this! You've got me thinking about doing a similar thing. I'd probably include effects in mine, just a simple date purchased and price.

Looks like a stunning bass, congrats on winning it.

His Warwick sounds like it's tuned very low in that video I posted.

From the wiki about 8 string guitars:
[quote]Fredrik Thordendal and Marten Hagstrom of Meshuggah tune their 8-string guitars F+Bb+Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb, and occasionally drop it to Eb+Bb+Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb, and even five semitones below this tuning, for the song Spasm[/quote]

I'd imagine he'd copy the low 5 strings of the guitars tuning, but I'm not certain of that.

There's a great midrange tone to these basses that seems quite unique to TRBs.
