  1. I'll hold off, was just going to post it.
  2. Coming to a for sale section near you soon!
  3. Twice the width, but my BM was the tiny one.
  4. If insufficiently anthemic I can heartily recommend Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger. I dep for a wedding band and this is how they end every gig. never, ever fails
  5. Hot Love - such a massive singalong at the end
  6. Quoted the wrong post . Face Palm
  7. Just had a deal went as smooth as a deal can go. Sean is a great guy to deal with, keeping me updated all the way, pedal arrived precisely as described, well packed and in good time. I happily recommend this most excellent basschatter.
  8. Hi. I've been reliably informed I need a two button latching footswitch. I know nothing. Is that what this is?
  9. I've just managed to get it on my board. It's replaced the Big Muff, the size difference made for a lot of fun. It sounds massive on its own but blended with a clean signal is still big but not all consuming. It does very weird things to the effects after it in the chain!
  10. Ah yes. But still, an interesting project.
  11. Thank you. So could I reproduce the effect on the FI then?
  12. No issues at all. I have in fact just connected up the B1on again and added a few guitar amp sims just for fun. All working perfectly.
  13. I got to chatting with a guy on FB. Turned out he makes pedals. All sorts of lovely wooden boxes, filled with exciting bits and pieces. He made the Littlebox for another guy runs a shop called Funny Little Boxes. I'm trying to build a home grown rig, supporting smaller businesss where possible and this fitted right in. It's a fuzz box which allows you to starve the important bits of volts, or something, and thereby produce some startling sounds. It has a bass cut switch and two leds. The switch does what it says on the label, the lights are just pretty. Why cut bass if I'm a bassist? When run parallel with my clean signal it sounds fantabidosey. The core sound is thick. Oozing. A coagulating river of fuzz lava. Never thin. Never fizzy or vague. Every nuance of your playing is still there, but oh boy it's just disgustingly filthy. I got the idea for running a clean signal alongside the bass cut fuzz off a YouTuber. Below are my pics and his review - which is loads better than I could do. Mine is number 4. Gotta love a single digit serial number. Came with a handwritten letter from the shop and a discount for my next pedal purchase. Lovely people, great product, I commend them to the Basschat Community.
  14. Dad's was naval guns on an anti aircraft cruiser.
  15. I thought I needed a flanger for the sound I was after. Turned out it was a phaser. TC E was on my list but I snagged a Mr Black Gilamondo before I got to try one. It sounds so good in my soul band adds a psychedelic vibe.
  16. I switched from ABM to RM500 rig and have never regretted the move. Similar to this except mine is a 1x 12 combo and 1x 12 extension cab. Whoever gets this is in for a treat. Good luck with your sale.
  17. currently relaxing to a fairly steady chord, hum and two whistles. My dad lost hearing in one ear doing his bit in WW2. He always said he could cope with the deafness but the tinnitus drove him to distraction. Like someone tuning an old fashioned wireless set with the high squiggly noises helicopter and hiss. Most well mannered, considerate man I ever knew and yet he put up with that from 1945 to 2005 without complaining. Only told me about it when I asked him.
  18. Thomann have a very reasonable price two switch one I might get once my basket reaches the free postage threshold.
  19. I don't actually know! They were built by a guy I work with who moved house and couldn't find room for them.
  20. I sent condolences via WhatsApp to a friend who I know has been massively influenced by EVH. Seemed appropriate as I knew he'd be genuinely upset. Personally I can't name one VH song so obvs to me the news was sad but no more so than any other cancer death of a stranger. If Bruce Thomas died I'd be desperately sad but as I didn't grow up in the age of social meeja I'd probably express that sadness in a different way. The passing of people who have enriched my life and made my world a far far better place is worthy of mention. That's a simple human response. We have new choices how to make that response, that's all. We don't need to like nor decry the choices others make.
  21. Only used it for two gigs and a handful of rehearsals but I really like it.
  22. Not easy to see jammed in the corner but bigger than my Barefaced 12"
  23. Don't know if it's the angle is the problem, maybe if the front was higher the curse of the varifocal specs wearer might not come into play.
  24. I would do the decent thing and buy a couple from Thomann purely for research purposes. However I already share my room with several large bass cabs and a couple of hi fi cabs bigger and heavier than some bass cabs.
