I changed mine again. It's my fault.

Looked on eBay, but it's quite an old case, and the handle assembly is fairly sizeable: This is what it should look like: [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/WP_20151005_13_19_25_Pro_zpsghabczi2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/WP_20151005_13_19_25_Pro_zpsghabczi2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And this is the other side that's been 'Parcelforced'...

Anybody recommend somewhere to get replacement handles (and mount) for a 4U flight case? I'll pop sme photos up later on today with specifics etc...

f*** me, that's bad!

depends on the effect; overdrive and distortion can be voiced specifically for guitar or bass (they'll cut off all the frequencies below a set frequency, and add distortion to anything above that), as can things like envelope filters - I used an old DOD FX25 filter for a while but it just cut all of the bass out of my signal. Choruses and Phasers designed for guitar can be a bit more forgiving on bass (EHX Small Clone and MXR Phase 45 spring to mind). Bear in mind though that the much prized Boss OC-2 Octaver is technically a guitar pedal, sounds pretty good on my basses...

Nice selection there.

I find that when I'm swapping between basses the output varies somewhat, which has a knock-on effect on my pedal board - particularly the envelope filter and valve O/D unit. I'm looking at putting a small booster in my fretless to ensure parity between the outputs. Have you tried a compressor at the start of your pedal board just to level things out a bit?

EHX Bass Soul Food is an excellent budget pedal, so I'd recommend trying one of those. If you've already got an OD unit and want to keep the low end then I'd look at a blend pedal that will allow you to mix clean, un-overdriven signal with a dirty, gnarly effect, thereby maintaining your low end. Be aware though, that the studio recording you're referencing will more than likely be recorded this way (take a clean feed directly from the bass to mix with the overdriven signal) which makes replicating the sound somewhat tricky. My own personal favourite is the Dave Hall VT1 DI-EQ, but I understand that it's not a budget pedal - add a dash of the Waves R Bass plugin in the studio and it's every bass sound you'll ever need. Hard to replicate live though.

I don't mind Simply Red. I don't own any, but it's not unlistenable. My '80s were filled with Marillion, A-HA and then Anthrax and Megadeth. Good days.

Angus Young isn't.

After years of monkeying about with this sort of this I've settled on the slightest amount of buzz, just enough so that it blooms whenever I dig in (often) .105" - .045" roundwound stainless steel strings. I like a nice wide string spacing too (18 or 19mm), and shim the neck if you have to.

This. Kill them, kill them all.

Finished a Phase 45 clone this week. It's nice and swooshy, but not overpowering (like most phasers and flangers that I've tried). I ended up having to build a JFET matcher to measure the Vgs with my multimeter, but it's been worth it. I had to do a bit of bug-fixing on this one - turns out that the JFETs really do need to be matched...

It'd be cheaper to record the stuff in their studios then, as the composition stuff could be done anywhere. Also, if the worst happens and their PT system goes belly up then you've got a better case to mitigate. Seems unusual for an HE institution not to have contingencies in place when they're entirely dependent on 3rd party software which lis known to be flaky...

I used to have a B2RE many moons ago - great sounding head! Congratulations on your bargainous bargain.

Why do you need PT? Unless your Masters is Protools specific then I reckon you're better off concentrating on the study part of the qualification, instead of having to learn a new DAW at the same time. Just my 2p
