  1. Thanks! The previously recorded stuff was all DI'd, with most of the tone coming from a Warwick Thumb into a Fuzzrocious Demon or Rat Tail running into a Rusty Box, then various octave pedals blended in. Lots of the bass parts are double tracked on the recordings. The newest track has more mic'd cab tones, but there's still DI'd bass all through it.
  2. This was fun to record as I get lots of room to play with my bass sound in this trio. There will be an album following later in the year if this is your cuppa tea!
  3. Damn this is a cool sounding pedal! Really helpful discussion in that thread. Thing is, I wasn't in the market for a synth pedal, but now I am... 😅
  4. Has anyone ordered a pedal with the octave jawn option yet? Mighty tempted to order a Cat King with this option as it'd put 2 of the effects I use most into one unit.
  5. Hah! It still gets me to be honest and it's been my avatar for a number of years!
  6. Thanks! I'm not 100% on the age of it, but suspect it's a good 5-6 years old. I'll try giving Polar a shout.
  7. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what may be the cause of this, or has experienced something similar. I've got a GK 1001RB that's started cutting out intermittently, the blue power protection light comes on and then it makes a few popping noises. Each time this has happened I've switched it off immediately and gone straight for my backup amp. I've taken it to two experience amp techs who can't find a problem with it, but as it stands I can't use it for gigs like this. Any thoughts / insights would be appreciated! Cheers
  8. Hey gang, I need to replace the push-pull volume pot on my Warwick Thumb Bolt-On, I'm now at the point where I have to use switch cleaner on it before every gig. Before I order the pot, I wanted to double check that I'm ordering the correct thing as I emailed Warwick and never got a reply! Is this the one? - https://shop.warwick.de/en/Parts+for+Instruments/Electronics+Parts/Potentiometer/MEC+Pot+Volumen+500K-Lin+1+Push_Pull Cheers
  9. [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1494151376' post='3293615'] I don't suppose you would be interested in a trade of a tc dark matter and some cash your way for the Fredric unpleasant companion. [/quote] Thanks for the offer but this one is now sold
  10. Price dropped, grab a bargain!
  11. I recently sold a bass to Derrick. Flawless transaction and always quick to reply to messages Would highly recommend.

  14. [b]Edit: Price drop! Now [u]£70[/u] for a great pedalboard in tip-top condition. [/b] I recently switched to a hardcase version of a PedalTrain board so this one is up for sale. PedalTrain Pro SC. [s]£90. £80 [/s]£70 Price includes courier shipping in mainland UK. If you want to collect from Leeds then I'll knock some £££ off the price. Well looked after. Pedalboard is in great condition, just a few minor marks here and there. Fully velcro'd up and will throw in some hook-side velcro. Soft case has a few scuffs and some wear to underside, works absolutely fine though.

    Back to tha top! A few folks have messaged me about shipping this bass abroad, with the suggestion of shipping it in a gig bag. I've had a look into this and I'm not up for shipping it long distances without the hardcase, but the snag is that the hardcase ain't light! Suffice to say, shipping this bass abroad is not cheap. Happy to drive to meet half way - I also travel all over the country a reasonable amount for work and gigs.

    [b]SOLD[/b] Hi folks, I'm selling my Warwick Streamer Stage I. I custom ordered this bass from Warwick in 2006. The differences compared to a stock Stage I are the ebony fretboard, black hardware and a drop D tuner. I'm gutted to be selling this bass, it's a really great player but it's not getting used. It's recently had a setup with 45-105 D'Addario ProSteels. - Stage I 4 string - MEC active preamp - Ebony fretboard - Flamed maple body - AAA flamed maple neck - Black hardware - Also comes with strap locks, original Warwick hardcase and the Warwick User Kit (wax, trussrod tool, allen keys, user manual). I've even got the original tags that say it was born on 20/11/2006. This bass has been well looked after and is in excellent condition. There's a some very light belt buckle marks on the back of the bass a few marks on the front from plectrum use, but these are very minor and I couldn't them get into a picture. Welcome to pop by my place in Leeds to try it out, or I can meet part way on a drive. Due to the hardcase being one of the heavy duty Warwick kind it will be costly to ship, so I'd prefer not to courier, but I'm sure we could sort this out if needed. Let me know if you want any more pics. In the unusual case that anyone has a Barefaced Big Twin 2 they're looking to trade I would be interested, otherwise I'm just looking to sell. Cheers Ed [attachment=237924:thumb_IMG_0187_1024.jpg]
  18. It's a tough one because you can get all sorts of different tones out of various octave pedals. I run 3 on my board, two of which at the Micro Pog and the Bass Whammy. I tend to use the Pog a lot, but I make use of the blend on it so it sounds a bit more organic. The Whammy is my go to for much more full on octave tones. If you're not after the intervals I don't imagine you're going to get much use from the Whammy though.
  19. Does anyone know where I can get such a thing?
  20. I've only gone and ordered one. If anyone's interested I'll let you know how I get on with it.
  21. After reading through [url="http://pedalsandeffects.com/2015-best-of-pedals-and-effects/"]Juan Alderete's pedals of the year [/url]I'm intrigued by the [url="http://www.hotoneaudio.com/products/skyline/loopstation/7.html"]Hotone Wally Looper[/url]. Does anyone know how this stacks up against other micro loopers out there? I've been tempted to buy a TC Electronic Ditto for while but I'd be interested to know how this compares.
