Thanks guys for the help, love this community! 😊 @Rumple those look great (and your bass is lovely!) @PJ-Bassist will hit you up in a jiffy 😉👍

Yeah I thought that, but then I guess the sadowsky ones must be about 6.35-6.4 also, as they'll be imperial sizes so. 025". The only other snag is it doesn't say they have grub screws... But surely they wouldn't be push fit on a round shaft? For that money, I may as well just order them though!

Thanks for the info @ped. 👍 Interestingly, I've just found what appears to be the same knob at CPC for £2.62! BUT I have VBT controls, and they only have 19mm ones.... Question is, do I use the same size knobs for all 3 pots, or use a slightly different style for the tone? https://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/kb00020/knob-al-19mm-black-6-4mm-shaft/dp/SW05872

Has anyone actually ordered from Digikey? I assumed they were UK based from the URL, but it says products are despatched from the USA..... Could mean long shipping time and customs charges?

Superb, thanks guys! 😘👌

Hi folks! I'm on the lookout for some black Sadowsky-style knobs to fit 6mm solid shaft, just wondered if anyone knows where I could find any? Struggling to come up with anything suitable at the moment.... Many thanks! 😊👍

What's the power rating on this please? -
Had a bit more of a play today (lots of fun!) through my proper amp which helped. Does anyone else find that a lot of the patches are really loud by default? Anyway, after going through all the amp SIM sand drive pedals, and I think these were my two faves for my 'light drive': Had a good go with the bass driver, but it a) just wouldn't wouldn't break up quite enough, and b) had a built - in tone that I couldn't suppress enough and wasn't what I wanted (although did sound nice enough in its own right. I'm not looking for too much of a shift away from my clean tone. So then I started getting a bit more creative 😁. Historically I haven't found fuzz very use able, but I have to say the fuzz patches in this pedal are superb! Definitely want to try it out with the band (when we eventually get back to it...) I also wanted to find a good filter and phaser sound, and play with the octaver a bit more. ANYWAY I ended up on this combination of effects, and it sounds OUTRAGEOUS! Couldn't stop playing, just too much fun. Need to find somewhere I can shoehorn this in with the band.....

I only started this thread a week ago, and now I find myself lusting after tube amps and short scale basses! 😂
-
Yes sorry, I see it now! Had a play with the bass driver patch, and it was one of the better ones, but maybe need to try it a bit more.
-
Behringer? I can't see where that was mentioned! 😅
-
Think I went through all the amps, preamps, and drive pedals, but will look again at the preamps. 👍

Well, had a bit of a play around with it last night (forgot what a great practice tool it is!) and thus far struggling to find the slightly overdriven sound I have in my head. I took your advice @Japhet, but I couldn't really get the amp sims to break up quite enough, or they didn't really have the tone I want (some great sounds in there though - that flip top patch!). Overdrives were a bit meh, either too distorted, or had too much inherent tone (too bright, too muddy, etc) which I couldn't dial out with the eq. I will persevere though! I'm wondering if one of the amp sims combined with an overdrive might be the way forward. Some great effects on there though, the fuzzes are superb! I've never been able to get fuzz to work in my band, but might have to have another go! More tinkering is called for..... Thanks for all the help guys 😊

It's a great unit, I think I just need to have a bit more of a play with it, I've been using it in the same way for many years, but I think I could get more out of it and use it more. I've always wondered about using an expression pedal with it, may have to get one! I have the smooth hound also, it's a great unit! Only wireless I've ever really got on with tbh!

Okay thanks, will have a look into it! -
Fretboard Accelerator Programme aka the Gary Willis book thread
TRBboy replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in General Discussion
It's not so much the emails, it's the fact that everywhere I go online now, whether it's Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc, there's an ad for the fretboard accelerator course... 🤦♂️ -
Fretboard Accelerator Programme aka the Gary Willis book thread
TRBboy replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in General Discussion
I really wish I hadn't looked at the thing at all, getting really sick of all the ads now. Scott must spend most of his profits on big data advertising. -
Think I'm going to have a play around with it when I get time, and see what else I can do. Might try setting up different banks for different sounds on there and being a bit more creative. I know it's getting on a bit, but still a great multi fx IMHO. One of my favourite fx on there (though a bit crazy) is the phaser+dist, it's awesome! May have wheel that one out again! Used to use it for the bass solo on my generation! 😉

Hey folks, I've had a zoom B3 on my pedal board for yonks now. It's a great pedal, but I usually only use it for rarely-used effects and such. Although I've used it for lots of different things, and it's been great, I've always felt like I haven't really been scratching the surface or getting the most out of it. I usually only have it stuck on one bank with 3 seperate stomp boxes set up. I have no need of amp sims really. Just wondered if anyone has any good tips or advice for getting the most out of it? Effects I'm especially interested in at the moment are envelope filter, phaser, octaver, fuzz, and a natural, gritty slight overdrive. Do most of you guys combine effects on one bank to get 'a sound' and then change up and down the banks for different effects? Any advice welcome! Thanks all. 😊

NBD: Ibanez SRMD205 Mezzo 5 string. Medium scale
TRBboy replied to fretmeister's topic in Bass Guitars
I keep looking at these a lot over the past few months... I've had a strong lust for shorter scale basses, but I'm 100% a 5 string player, and these look like a great option without too much outlay. I'd probably rip the preamp out and install a passive loom tbh though. I don't need one, but..... Very tempted! -

Lovely collection man, I've been lusting after one of those Gibson LP Junior tribute basses (or whatever they're called) for ages! 😍 -
Yeah true, could well be the case. Although my little Roland micro cube practice amp usually seems to make any hum sound 10 times worse, and it's quiet as a mouse!
-
Just thinking about these alnico pickups in my new TT Passive; sandberg told me that they're not hum cancelling pickups, but I'm really struggling to detect any noise whatsoever with either pickup soloed! Not a bad thing at all, just saying. 🤔
-
I remember these basses well @ead, gorgeous! Interesting that we've both ended up at the TT Passive.
-
That will be very cool! Sandberg will make you a neck to go with the body.... But it won't be cheap! All the sandberg hardware can be bought online or throb a dealer I think.
