    Also, look at this rare beast! https://reverb.com/uk/item/49312045-fender-mustang-bass-1978-antiqua Already looking at if I can afford to get this and still pay for my Serek 😅

    Doe snayone know what model that is? it doesn't look vintage and I'm not aware of recent (i.e. last 20 years) models with a matching headstock.

    The Doom 2 is gone already and I only saw them a couple of hours ago. I think what annoys me is that Spencer could have charged more on his own site, and that would've been a better place for the money to go IMO.

    Just seen a Proton and a Doom 2 up on Reverb for about £500. What is uncomfortable is that the seller says the bought them directly from 3Leaf in the last few weeks where Spencer has been selling off the B-stock. I don't know about you guys but that doesn't sit right with me, to buy at a comparative discount and sell on at a huge profit (for context, I believe Spencer sold them for approx. £150).

    I'm looking out for a 3Leaf Doom 2. Will probably be a few months before Spencer does another run

    I personally prefer my filter after overdrive/distortion, it gives the filter more upper frequencies to work with. As Josh Scott of JHS says, just try stuff

    I play in a few different wedding bands so I use octaves, filters and chorus to recreate synth bass sounds (I don't play with nay of them consistently enough to justify shelling out for an actual synth). I also make some pretty wild sounds in my original band, we're a trio so there's lots of space to take up. Having said that, my phaser and chorus probably get the least use of all my pedals, hence why I only have one of each.

    Same... but as soon as some Doom 2s appear I'll be all over them.

    Every time I've checked Amazon doesn't stock Serek basses 😔

    When I put the deposit down at the end of October Jake said it would be a year, but they've had supply chain issues and he posted on the socials to add an extra 6-8 weeks. Everything I've read about them says it'll be worth it.

    This makes me more excited for mine, but also more frustrated because I probably won't get it til January 2023 😭

    For my mini board (Mono Lite, so basically a Pedlatrain Nano) I've mounted a Gigrig isolator underneath and I plug that into a standard 9v True Tone power supply. I'm sure that would void any warranty but I've been doing it for about 6 months and it works great.

    Gone a little bit crazy this festive period with pedal buying but here is 3 of 4 pedals ordered this last few weeks. This is a fantastic fuzz for bass, probably second only to my Malekko B:Assmaster. The clipping settings give a lot of fun options to play with, the bass boost is good if you really want that low end, though at my preferred setting it becomes flabby and loses definition.

    SCRAMBLE!!!!!!!!!

    I sometimes wonder if what's happening there is that the upper frequencies are so loud as to cause us to perceive the lower frequencies as quieter. The ear (bot the physical structure and the audio centres of the brain) pick up more on upper mid frequencies than anything else, cause that's roughly where human voices lie. Total theory and nothing to back it up mind!

    Yeah, I love the show. The irony is, he hardly changes up his own pedalboard!

    I have an Fulltone OCD that runs at 9-18v and I honestly can't hear the difference between the two. I saw that video and felt vindicated. I feel there's a lot of myth and magical thinking in the pedal world about components, vintage pedals etc etc. and it's good that someone like Josh Scott is *trying* to dispel the myths.

    Very much depends on the bass, particularly the headstock. My Callowhill MPB will fit comfortably in a Mono sleeve, but I have to fight the zipper with my JMJ Mustang. Harvest Leather make a short scale gig bag that fits the JMJ, but they are very expensive. Serek and Maruszczyk also make bags that will fit most short scales.

    I've just found a video I did on Instagram using the Dweller and a little bit of Moog for filter sweeps. My username is bassistlewis and its a post from the 10 March

    I haven't done any recording with it but I like the sound of it with bass. You can change the number of stages, the wave shape plus the usual mix, depth, rate, so it's pretty versatile. Though I'm guilty of set and forget. It can get pretty wild with the delay feature, so I don't really use that function (might if I had a TRS cable).

    I recieved 2 new pedals today, a Boss OC-2 and a Demedash Spidola Germanium fuzz (the silver one), so they were straight on the board for my gig tonight (it's a soul band so won't get much use!). They might get more use in my original band...
  22. bassist_lewis
    Ordered both of these before Xmas and they both arrived today. The OC-2 is, of course, the gold standard of octave pedals. It's more subby and tracks a lot better than I expected. Demedash are a small company in Manitoba in Canada (I think a video was recommended to me on Instagram). He only makes a few pedals but they're very cool. This is the Spidola Germanium Fuzz. I basically wanted something smaller than my Malekko B:Assmaster (keeping it obviously, it may go back on the board).

    Anyone ever used an 80s Ibanez OT10? Seen them floating around the interwebs.
  24. bassist_lewis
    thanks for the tip! just checked and apparently the Doom 2s went up today and were all gone in 2 minutes 😪

    What does the RC Booster actually do? is it a drive or just a clean boost?
