Well, nobody in their right mind would risk putting an Ampeg on anything!!

Three boats down from the candy - Marillion

If you’re used to a MM bas then I’d probably opt for an active Jazz just to make swapping on a gig easier.

My main squeeze is fretless, but occasionally I need something with the little speed bumps on it for a different sound. It does feel a bit weird then.

I’m still in. I’ve bought a set of strings this year, and have made 4 new pedals without having to buy any new components too!

Just finished a Big Muff 2 using the veroboard layout on dirtboxlayouts and it's GREAT!!

Phooaarr!! 🥰

How about this banger from Timperley’s finest… Christmas is really fantastic - Frank Sidebottom

The best 5 string Jazz I ever played was a Blade. Superb!

Matisse me, please me - Scorpions

Nine Types of Industrial Pollution - Zappa

Maggie's Farm - Bob Dylan

I think the problem is that IEMs don't need as much distortion due to their frequency response - amp/cab pairings will inevitably cut some of the top end which will allow more dirt due to the bass not sounding as 'fizzy'.

DOD FX25, DOD FX25B, Q-Tron (big box) Q-Tron Mini, Q-Tron Nano, Q-tron +, Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk (a close second, but mostly because is sooooo much smaller), and a couple of Donner micro pedals (a purple one and a white one). All of them did what I needed them to, but the meatball is just incredibly flexible; I can set it for any sound from any bass.

Your concern is justified @al krow, the Meatball is the single best filter I've used in over 30 years of playing.

This is probably my favourite joke EVER!!

At least we can be fairly sure that it’s a rosewood board - nothing splinters in quite the same way!

If you’re only going to do it once then a cheap set is fine, depends how many nut replacements you plan on doing in the future…

Dirty Movies - Van Halen

I had a Boss phase, then an EHX phase, then an EBS phase, then an MXR phase and then just went ‘open season’ on anything. I learned that I prefer certain manufacturers for specific effects (I prefer EHX stuff for modulation for example) but it took a while to get there.

Rounds with a light overdrive works every time for me. Can't hurt to boost a little at around 200Hz either.

Throw Away Your Television - RHCP again.

Still got more strings than knobs, not excessive at all!

Playing around with a tube overdrive using Matsumin’s Valvecaster circuit. I’ve changed the caps to allow more bass through and boosted the input to create a higher signal level into the drive stage. I’m waiting for some capacitors rated at 63v to add a charge pump to supply the tube plates with 30 odd volts. So far it sounds great!
