As and when you fancy something else then you can decide if it stays or goes![/quote] plus the one... don't sell stufff ust cos you don't use it...you may fall in love with it again

[quote name='budget bassist' post='165680' date='Mar 29 2008, 01:16 AM']Is the thunder any good? i really want one, could probably get one off the bay for £100 or so...[/quote] i loved mine...great sound, lovely neck. if i didn't have far too many basses i'd buy another in an instant !

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='165612' date='Mar 28 2008, 10:28 PM']I agree with him.[/quote] plus the one plus one. total coffee table bass, and therefore nausea-inducing in my eyes

a total waste of wood imho

[quote name='budget bassist' post='165489' date='Mar 28 2008, 07:22 PM']After a brief look it appears westone didn't make that and someone has just slapped a westone sticker on a cheap musicman copy. Westone are a japanese made brand made in the 1980's in the matsumoku factory. They were high quality instruments and there's still a lot of them around today because they were so well built. I'm after one actually...[/quote] plus the one...westone never made a stingray copy. i've got a frankenwestone fretless and owned a thunder 1a for years...amazing basses.

[quote name='guzzibass' post='165020' date='Mar 28 2008, 07:38 AM']Lol this 'mojo' thing is like the 'Kings New Clothes'..................[/quote] plus the one i can't help but think someone who's made such a mess of a bass won't have looked after it very well...it might play like a dog.

thanks ! interesting to know it's the same as the marshall i've just mailed red onion solutions to see how much they'd charge to build me a footswitch - i just got one of their effect loops pedals and it's fab. update: after a few emails sorting out what's required they're building me a footswitch.

i've got a mid-80's squire tele, but i hanker after a fender jag

just a quick question - anyone know if the footswitch for the svp-pro uses latching or momentary switches ?

[quote name='simon1964' post='164660' date='Mar 27 2008, 05:59 PM']+1. I've got a Gotoh 201 on my fretless Precision. More substantial that the Fender bridge, but looks better than a Badass (IMO). They're also a lot cheaper than the Badass.[/quote] put one on my fender cowpoke as soon as i got it...improved the tone no end. and yes, much nicer-looking than a badass

[quote name='jono b' post='164514' date='Mar 27 2008, 02:52 PM']Which one?[/quote] i'd go for the 201...

i sold my dod stereo bass chorus to mr. pablo an absolute gentleman...wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. hope youi enjoy the pedal rob !

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='164133' date='Mar 26 2008, 10:21 PM']...so I use my old trusty Tascam cassette 4 track with a mic hung from the ceiling and spend about 10 seconds getting a level....sounds pretty decent though.[/quote] plus the one - a couple of mics and a tascam have given me some of the best recordings of practises ever. hell...i even recorded the drum tracks for a demo of a band i was in that way...and got a lot of compliments for the quality of the drum sound !!

how many is too much ? it all depends on how much time and energy you've got i guess. i'd be inclined to give it a go with the guitarist friend and just be honest if it turns out to be too much...you're only human. i'm in 2 1/2 bands...all originals. it's hard work, but i'd rather busy than not.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='163522' date='Mar 26 2008, 03:05 AM']So are the any of the muffs any good? (mig muff, little big muff, whatever other muff) I know burton used one, but i asked some guys in a shop and they reckoned it was crap for bass, so what do you guys think? I'm looking for a decent upgrade from my crappy old behringer overdrive pedal.[/quote] i much prefer the double muff over the little big muff for bass. to my ears the lbm takes all the punch out of your sound, but i know others wouldn't agree. it depends what kind of sound you like, obviously.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='163195' date='Mar 25 2008, 03:30 PM']im waiting impatiently for the mxr el grande bass fuzz to be released, it will be coming in as soon as its available for sure![/quote] plus the one

anyone heard anything about their availability yet ?

ok, so i've left it a few days since i got the pedal to give it a proper run-through and also to use it at a band practise. firstly - a quick description. standard ehx nano-sized box with two controls: effect level and response. the effect level controls the level of the effected signal in the output and the response controls the severity of the effect. ok - so..what does it sound like ? difficult to describe to be honest ! the simple answer is that it adds a variable degree of 'clank' (when playing with a pick) or ''bite' (fingerstyle) to the sound, the amount of which is controlled by the response control. at very high levels of response the sound is almost unmanageably trebly. when i first started using it at 'bedroom' volumes and through headphones i was a bit disappointed...it sounded too extreme, and at low levels of response you could hear the sound of the gate opening and closing. it sounded good, but a wee bit too processed. one thing it was good for was to add some presence when playing along with songs. but here's where it shines...playing with a full band. i took it along to practise today and used it with very mild settings (effect level at 9 o'clock, response at 10)...and it sounded great ! it just adds a bit of punch and bite to the sound without being over the top. placed before my modded rat it really added a lot of crunch to the overdrive. both guitarists mentioned that they could hear a difference, but couldn't say exactly what it was. they liked it though !! so - i hope this makes sense...it's hard to describe exactly what it does, but it's gonna be in my pedalboard from now on !!

100-40 elites on all of my 4-stringers
