    DHA VT1 into a solid state power amp does it for me!

    I absolutely LOVE the colour sound bass fuzz. I went through about 15 different fuzz pedals in one year trying to find one that I was happy with; Muffs of various stripes, MXRs, and a few others. Eventually I found a demo online and fell in love. If you're handy with a soldering iron then there's a 'paint by numbers' layout for strip board on tagboardeffects.blogspot.com I think I made mine for a fraction of the price of a new one!

    Remember those earthquakes a couple of years ago that were attributed to fracking...?

    Today I routed and drilled for a tweeter in my home made 1x12”, as it was hella bassy without one. turns out that my ‘true bypass’ tuner pedal was sucking the top end off my signal, and I probably didn’t need one in the first place. oh well, at least I have it when I need it!

    That 160v capacitor might be over specced...

    What do people recommend for fitting a tweeter into my 1x12” 50l cab? It’s got tons of heft, but I need more snap and definition. My woofer goes up to 3kHz.

    This bad boy: 2 piece ash body, fretless Jazz neck and round wounds. owes me the better part of £250.

    Tone controls on passive instruments are a low pass filter, they work by cutting frequencies above a point defined by the tone knob; any passive circuit can only cut frequencies, not boost them. If you want to boost the top end then you’re going to need an external power source to create enough electrical energy to do that , so that’s an active system or outboard preamp.

    I use the box amplug - dead amp day, cheap and various models available. I went for the ‘clean’ guitar one, as the bass one was ok, but coloured the sound too much for my liking.

    Kreuger? Is that who does the woodwork?
  15. paul_5
    Fixed.

    Looks like it’s initially been roughed out by freehand routing, then left.

    “Do I need new gear or am I just bored?” you’re kind of new here, aincha...

    Sold

    **SOLD** Bought this from another BCer recently, but a change in musical direction means that it’s no longer needed. not in the best condition underneath, and the battery holder is missing, but to be honest most of us use a power supply for our boards or use phantom power anyway. Works perfectly as a pedal, DI or preamp straight into a power amp. **SOLD**

    Just solo the neck pickup and you don’t need to buy another bass!! Ye gods, what am I saying?!

    The Frizzle Fry album from Primus. as you were.

    Bump for this as a bass or bits.

    For me it’ll always be this monstrosity:

    I’d give the Prunes & Custard a go, as it can get quite synthy, as can the ZVex Woolly Mammoth - there are plenty of clones around for less than £50, so shouldn’t be too much of an investment. The Mammoth is a great little fuzz, but doesn’t play well with active basses, so that might be a consideration for you.
