  1. NOW SOLD Verion 1 of Sansamp's Paradriver - Sweepable Mids working conjunction with the Drive knob to give more toenail variation than the usual Bass Driver. I bought this from a BC'er recently in a damaged condition and have replaced 2 of the knobs. Velcro on the bottom from being on a pedalboard.
  2. This. Use the amp and cab simulator too and sound better than a practice amp!

    Nux Roctary

    Took deliver of one of these today and it’s awesome. I’ve always wanted to make JPJ’s ‘wobbly, dirty’ Heartbreaker sound come out of my amp; this gets really, really close! loads of features too - polyphonic octaves up and down make for a Hammond organ type effect, and the fast and slow rotary speeds can be set independently or controlled with an expression pedal.
  4. Freddie Mercury. Just didn’t see it coming, and was still enjoying the ‘Innuendo’ album immensely. looking back at the music videos that Queen were releasing in 1990/1991 it was obvious that Freddie was very, very ill, but back then I didn’t really bother with videos; I still don’t.
  5. This. Green tortex all the way. I only use a pick for a few ‘punkier’ numbers in one of my bands and have never dropped a tortex; other non-coated ones just fly out of my hands.
  6. Omnicab sim will do some of what you want, got no compression though.
  7. I think tort looks better with a rosewood board, and pearl goes better with maple. I reckon tort for this too, as it suits the ‘60s control plate - the Pearl looks too modern. Nice bass too!
  8. Yeah, Abe’s the 6 stringer.
  9. Some folks prefer that though; mostly on here too, the filthy deviants. 😄
  10. Oh my! That’s quite, quite disgusting.
  11. Contact Roland Lumby at The Amp Clinic in Salford - valve amp genius. 0161 7878082 or email him at [email protected] He’s also on Facebook at The Amp Clinic.
  12. Got this off the ‘Bay a couple of months ago to experiment with a wah, but I’m ore of an Envelope Filter player, so it’s been sat languishing in a cupboard after a couple of uses. Treadle works identically to the Dunlop, in that the wah automatically disengages when you take your foot off. Adjustable Q and Range controls on the side as well as a boost circuit. The wah mechanism is optical, so no worries about the pot wearing out either.
  13. I done a thing with both of my Jazz basses: Usual J pups with a MM hum bucker in the 'sweet spot' with individual volumes for each pup. Recently I've put both Jazz pups on a stacked knob and put a master tone control on there just to add a bit more functionality. The switch is an on/on/on - enabling individual coils of the MM, or both in parallel for that classic 'Stingray' sound. I was a bit twitchy about routing the bodies, but they turned out great, and sound amazing too!
  14. Shove some Rush in there - pick anything from Hold Your Fire or Power Windows and no one will notice that you haven’t got a guitarist! 😄
  15. Early Cure songs work well as a 3 piece.
