Surprisingly to me nearly two years old, but they're coated strings on a bass i don't play regularly. Definitely need replacing soon as they're sounding quite dead.

I got myself a Squier Dimension earlier this year and quite enjoy it, other than the 400kg weight (Like anything else basswood). Wish they sold better because i'd quite like another one to play around with modding.

Mallory Knox on the 17th of October starts a run of 12 gigs in 2 months, including one stretch where i have 5 in 8 days which is going to kill me off i expect.

Thought i'd add my latest iteration to here after i rebuilt it onto a Templeboard Duo 17. I've got an IO box underneath because the temple mods seem very expensive just do that and it never leaves my bedroom anyway. In - SY-1 - HX Stomp w AO in the loop - M80 just as a DI. I do have space for atleast a couple more pedals though so who knows what else will find it's way on.

I do like me some obnoxious colours, so this and the Galactic Pearlburst would be a challenging decision.

I don't currently, but i probably will at some point. It's '95 so i have an awful lot of options to choose from.

Bass - Pedalboard (HX Stomp, Boss SY-1, Darkglass Alpha Omicron) into a Roland OctaPre audio interface and some JBL 305P studio monitors, or a pair of headphones.

My next gig is Punk Rock Factory in a few weeks to kick off a fairly busy month of 5 gigs. Pop punk versions of Disney tunes with a beer or two sounds like a good friday night to me. The rest of the month consist of Poets Of The Fall, Enter Shikari in Athens, Hot Milk and Against The Current, followed up with As December Falls in early December to round out the year.

I started on Rotosound from 2007-2009ish, then for a change i switched over to EB Slinkies. Those were the choice for two years but i was killing them very quickly with gigs (my record being 40 minutes) so i gave Elixirs a try. Have only used either nickel or steel nanoweb's since then, other than very recently i've put a set of D'Addario XT's on one bass to try them out. Always 45-105 with either a 130 or 135 B string for the 5.

I really enjoyed my M80. Gigged with it for a good few years. If you're willing to splash a bit more cash, a HX Stomp is hard to beat for the versatility.

It's festival season so it's quiet for a few months. I have Bat (Meat Loaf Tribute) and Slam Dunk North at the end of the month, then Spiritbox in July. After that it's very quiet till Busted in late september.

HX Stomp. It's not perfect and i still have a few other pedals i use for things, but for the most part it does almost everything i need it to.

I'm not gigging these days, but i've been rocking a proper leather Aussie bush hat a la Crocodile Dundee minus the teeth.

Finally got around to re-wiring my pedalboard now i've managed to snag an Alpha Omicron. Decided to do it properly so it's all custom soldered cables and managed nicely. There's a patch bay underneath the Darkglass which is why it's raised up so high.

Having just played for a few minutes to figure this out, the answer is everywhere. Mostly somewhere between the corner of the pickup and the edge of the pickguard on a P bass.

Dunlop Tortex Flow 0.73mm for me, or 0.88mm if i'm playing a skinny stringed thing.

I saw Tremonti in Manchester and it was the same problems. Loud even with my earplugs in, though the bass wasn't too bad. It was one of the most rammed gigs i have ever been to, and incredibly hot with it being mid 20's that day. They always put on a hell of a show though.

Cheers for that. That's how i spent the first few hours just messing around. There's some mental noises comes from this thing. I mostly use snapshots anyway so i'm not overly limited on switches luckily. The two controllers on the bottom do all of my switching so it's nice and easy.

Recently upgraded from just the stomp to this. Not gigging at all these days, just for some home noodling but it's been good fun. I've only had the SY-1 for a couple of hours so if anyone has any recommendations let me know!

I've had good luck with the Behringer BDI-21 sansamp clone, and the MXR M80. If you can scrape an extra few quid together it might be worth looking at a HX Stomp for a lot more versatility.

Could put a 1U rack drawer in just to keep odds and sods in. Spare strings, picks, etc.

I think the Truetone CS6 can do 18v with one of their adapter cables.
