Mornington Crescent.

I'd like to play every day, but with two little 'uns and all the rest of it I find that I've got very little time to [i]properly[/i] play - exercises, stretching my abilities and technique. I used to do loads of playing, whether I was gigging or not, but just for the minute I've got other priorities.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1351532152' post='1852271'] Mackie and Belringer are very very close to being the same stuff... [/quote] Mackie tried to sue Behringer over copyright/design infringement and the case was dismissed by US courts. Mainly due to Behringer agreeing to settle out of court - one would assume that Behringer accepted some degree of culpability in this case...

Overdrive, fuzz, filter, octave should do it. Of course, there's always room for more fuzz...

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1351491603' post='1851668'] Really? Do people do this? Can they look at themselves in the mirror? [/quote] +1. I keep trying to tell my OH about kit, but she just rolls her eyes/glazes over/tuts and sighs etc...

+1. I've used a couple of their pedals and some of their rack stuff - the pedals are essentially Boss rip-offs, and the footswitches can feel like they're held in with cake, but they sound really good for the money. Same with the rack stuff - the power switches tend to spring off if you're not careful, but they perform well enough - and relative to cost they do really well.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1351302097' post='1849966'] Hey dudes!! Been offline or a while as we're still on tour. The promoter of our show in Luxembourg shot this so I thought I'd take advantage of the wifi... Just finished a gig in Den Helder and tomorrow is the last show, then home in Sunday to my own bed!! [/quote] Crikey, how tight does that drum kit sound?

Toro Loco? Mad Bull? (shudders)

close to completing mine. Played through it this morning and reckon it's [i] nearly[/i] there... photo later on this evening.

Just picked up one of those clamps now, thanks for the tip. However, you're all wrong - the single best thing about Aldi is "STOLLEN".

Another +1 for the Ultra Jazz from DiMarzio. I put a pair in an old 5 string squier and it transformed the sound. f you want to spend even less money and end up with a pair of hot, clean J pups then GFS ones are ace. I've got a pair in my fretless 'bitsa' jazz bass and it sounds incredible. You'll probably have to import them from the states, but even once you take that into account then they're still really good value for money. http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-JB-Pro-Jazz-Bass-Style-Alnico-Pickups_p_318.html currently $60 for a pair, which I think is about £47. No brainer.

Bought Si's Synth Bass pedal recently, collected it in person and had the pleasure of meeting another BC'er face to face. Really pleasant fella and looks after his kit too. Smiles all round. Paul.

I've got a Chord OC-50 (I think) OC2 clone and it's brilliant. you can choose between 1 octave down (with variable distortion from zero to RAAAHHHH!!!) and a sub as well - the sub has its own volume control too. Cast metal case and MUCH sturdier footswitch than the Behringer kit. Might be a little but pricier than the Behringer kit, but they're roughly £35 - £40 notes including P and P. No brainer.

just received a mail from EB UK and they have asked the seller to make it clear that it's a copy. We shall see...

Yup, that chorus looks mighty tempting...

and we'd all be told to 'play bass responsibly'. Thank you no, where's the fun in that?

yeah, the OC2 doesn't deal well with anything lower than 'A', but then it [i]is[/i] a guitar pedal. What it does to notes above that 'A' though is just lovely
