Or just do what I did and write the stuff yourself, but in such a way that the bass effects are [i]essential[/i] to the sound of the band. Of course that's not my primary concern when writing material, but it's certainly not vetoed before it's even tried. Even better if you have some way to demo the stuff (none of the other guys read, so this is a necessary evil for me) let them hear it and judge it on its own merits, not pedal-envy.

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1329398904' post='1541826'] I went to school with a load of reprobates. [/quote] you still went though? I never.

I much prefer Hold Your Fire to Power Windows. They're both better than Grace Under Pressure though - that's a bit of a stinker. Of course, that's my opinion. Presto on the other hand is magnificent - is that the Wal too?

Mine arrived this lunchtime, will be stringing them up later on tonight to see how they fare.

Power Windows was the one where nobody had any bass. All mids and treble for the bass sound, electronic drums and Alex's guitar tones are practically supersonic. I believe that instead of amps he used large tin cans with baby wasps in... Bi-amped of course.

I'm a bit late to this party, but have been absolutely loving the videos. Keep 'em coming!

EBS chorus thingy is the best I've used. I went through the EHX small clone, Boss CEB3 and CE2B and have settled on the EBS one. Not cheap, but very, very good.

I've had some Alpha pots from 'axesrus' (google them, can't remember if they're .com or co.uk and they've been really good. They're not 69p, but they'll run forever and stand up to the rigours of gigging etc... The range that they carry isn't massive, but you might get lucky finding the right value.

Just to clear everything up: Paul McCartney was in that band that was ruined by that woman. True on both counts.

'Family Business' from the first Fish album (Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors) - some of John Giblin's best work IMHO. 'Mother stands for comfort' by Kate Bush

"WORKING ORDER, BUT COSMETICALLY PAINT IS A BIT CRACKED/CHIPPED IN PLACES" - least of his worries...

That's the plan - pot-tastic

erm this isn't the thread I thought it was.... as you were.

Oh, go on then... let me know your paypal etc... Cheers, Paul

Hi all, I've got a cheap fretless project on the go, and wondered if anyone knew of any cheap onboard active tones circuits that would give it a bit more life. I've got an East J-Retro in my main bass, but I don't want to pay anywhere near that sort of money for this 'hobby' bass. Is there anything halfway decent for less than about £50 or will I have to 'up my game'?
