  1. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361877159' post='1992183'] It's going to end up looking like this isn't it [/quote] Encoulez moi! That's UGLY.
  2. I'd pay good money to see Rush cover Cookie Monster though...
  3. Just laughed like a loon at that video. I love Basschat.
  4. We both have a 'one in, one out' policy - mine for basses, amps, pedals etc... hers is for prams; 2 kids, 8 prams (I think).
  5. The first 55 seconds were really good. It 'tailed off' somewhat after that...

    DIY Effects

    Finished a Colorsound Bass Fuzz pedal last week - I put a buffered blend in it too, just to give it a little bit more flexibility: https://soundcloud.com/paul_510/sets/coloursound-bass-fuzz-clone These samples were recorded straight into ProTools - no cab simulators or compression etc... Just raw, dirty bass.
  7. Dunno what the 'switch mods' on the Muff are but it's been upgraded to true bypass, and has had a 9v power socket added (with what looks like a smoothing cap to take out the 'pop' when it's switched on) - so that's a good thing! If it's had the Whizzer mods then the toggle switches will alter the gain stages, so it'll do vintage dirt right up to filthy filth.
  8. Dunno. Mine came with a piezo unit under the bridge. It sounds ok but nothing more. I've been experimenting with different piezos and contact mics in various places but nothing I'd recommend yet.
  9. [quote name='rednose200' timestamp='1361549020' post='1987397'] Jesus. My Back is bad enough as it is [/quote] and my front's got sick on it now. No good can come of this thread.
  10. Good for you. If you feel frustrated by your musical 'day job' then you've got a few choices: a)Put up and shut up (not good in the long term), Quit and look for something else (not ideal), c) Do something extra to bring back some of the excitement and spark. Option C is by far the best. Best of British for your musical endeavours, and congratulations on a choice well made!

    Nice job on the Muff, Protium. Good quality jacks, and an isolated PSU socket too - just what the doctor ordered. The original wiring loom on these is held together with cake, it amazes me that some folks will do the true bypass mods and all sorts of other mods, but leave that awful gossamer-thin cable intact.
  12. [quote name='Cloff' timestamp='1361384615' post='1985145'] What are the mods on the muff? [/quote] ditto.
  13. Don't think, feeeeeel. [url="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=McvkSra5JLZGjM&tbnid=vA1O_Y-Zgvj-kM:&ved=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgree.jp%2Fokamoto_ryoji%2Fblog%2Fentry%2F588841918&ei=nvEkUdi9GujW0QXYz4CYDw&psig=AFQjCNETUHhWtyzOUO4x8RUB4JrK8A47BQ&ust=1361462046476177"]url[/url] Na, seriously, I'll tend to think to the end of the phrase, but my phrases tend to be little ones. Generally I'll get a pitch in my head relative to the chord I'm playing over/under, so that'll form the basis of my playing - generally the root of a mode.
  14. I've heard of people recommending WD40 for ebanol fingerboards (pretend ebony) for fretlesses etc... not tried it myself though.
  15. I reckon Bon Jovi just about come out in front because they're really American. Def Leppard are from Sheffield but pretend they're American. Also, at least the Bon Jovis can spell properly.
  16. Another +1 for the DHA VT1EQ - it's part of my "awesome, don't gig without it" kit.
  17. I've got a Hydrive 410 that is, frankly, too big for my current space. Ideally I'd like to trade for a Hydrive 112, plus a bit of cash adjustment. There are a couple of small tears of one side that have been repaired and are almost unnoticeable, but I thought I'd tell you anyway. Any takers?
  18. "Ain't no fun waitin' round to be a millionaire" by AC/DC... http://youtu.be/cwUVCo-Y3Mo
  19. Rush, the Jam, Primus. There must be something there for you...
