  1. Yeah, for that price you could have a Wal. Not really my cup of tea.
  2. Have you seen the EWS Bass Mid Control? [url="https://youtu.be/K9xFtELFlVU"]https://youtu.be/K9xFtELFlVU[/url]
  3. I've had the Blowtorch and Bass Fuzz Deluxe and Bass DI/Preamp from MXR, and they left me cold. Shame really, as the other MXR bass stuff (especially the filter) is really rather good.

    DIY Effects

    Good effort bobbass4k!
  5. Just received a Joyo Classic Flanger from Cosmo. Well packaged, great communications throughout. Happy days. Cheers Ben.
  6. Fretless neck and tuners from Roweley Birkin QC, Bachelor of this parish, and a Shine P/J body Needed a little 'encouragement' to marry the two together, but plays perfectly. £65 all in.

No point spending mega bucks of any of my basses, given what I do to 'em live...
  7. Once I started sing "Taxman" over the Jam's "Start". Easily done m'lord...
  8. I get dehydrated very easily, and get wrist cramps when I don't drink enough water.
  9. [quote name='lobematt' timestamp='1438356021' post='2833890'] Haha because all our payments are bank transfer the week prior to the event so we don't need to chase drunk brides for money... [/quote] But that's the best bit!
  10. Y'know, it looks a LOT like a doorstop...
  11. Precision PUPs are hum bucking, which might account for some of the reduction, not sure about Ricky stuff though - we're not supposed to talk about them…

    Cancelled gig

    Thanks for the kind wishes guys, saw the quack this afternoon and it's bronchitis with a side order of sinusitis. Which is nice.
  13. Another vote for a qualified amp tech, who'll have the right kit to safely get your amp up and running. If it's just the input socket going wobbly, then the likelihood of it releasing the magic blue smoke isn't very high; were it the speaker socket then I'd be less inclined to believe that. While it;'s in it might be worth getting a recap done, as the tolerances on old capacitors can waver over the years.
  14. Yeah I ran the 1153 with a 2103H, but it was overkill for most of the stuff I was doing. Given a choice between the 2x10 and the 1x15 I always plumped for the 1153.
  15. DHA VT1 EQ. It's my 'always on' O/D pedal. 3 band EQ (with a Q control for the mids), and a bright switch to put some 'sparkle' onto your shizzle.
  16. I gigged up and down the country for 4 years with just an old TE head and an 1153 cab - brilliant, brilliant piece of kit.

    Cancelled gig

    Just had to cancel tonight's gig with Sinnergod in sunny Blackpool due to being rendered useless thanks to a chest infection. Stupid bacteria! Very displeased with the situation.
  18. [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1438210900' post='2832658'] No it was the old bloke from Steptoe and son that ruined it for me. [/quote] Dirty old man!!!
  19. Anything really. I tend to go in hard, as I'm of the 'Lozz196' school of tone, but anything really.

    Octaver

    [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1438124978' post='2831967'] I need to try a Chord, it would surprise me if it truly nails the OC-2 if the 3Leaf Octavbre couldn't In any case, you could buy a Chord, you'll eventually just wish you had the brown pedal of joy instead though lol Si [/quote] I had one for ages and loved it. Really nailed the OC2 sound. Yes, eventually I went back to the brown pedal of joy (well, made one), but the Chord is the closest I've had to an actual OC2, despite only costing peanuts.
  21. DHA VT1 EQ with the line input and headphone socket, so a staggering 250mWatt output.
  22. Horses for courses. Their TU2 or 3 tuners are pretty much ubiquitous, and the (sadly discontinued) OC2 is one of the best pedals ever made. I don't really rate their bass stuff (CEB-3 and ODB-3 I'm looking at you), but the SD-1 and OD1 guitar pedals are brilliant.
