It worked! In fact it worked so well that one of the dodgy old pedals I tried it on actually started working again.

I suppose you're all expecting me to buy one just so that I can tell you what it's like.

A lot of folk bandy words like trust and respect. Well I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and prove how much I mean those two simple words. I'm going to do what you say and to hell with the consequences.

Yeah I know what you mean, but on the other hand I don't own a bass with a reverse headstock, so there's as good a reason as any!

Yes indeed. Two in fact. Joyo XIV and Digitech Ricochet. The Ricochet is so good I can play chords with it an octave up.

The posts posted with an apparently valid reason are seldom anywhere near as interesting. I had the Eden chorus but it wasn't quite what I was after. The Future Impact is almost certainly the greatest and most ludicrously complex music related thing I've ever owned. I've always fancied the Bass Synth Wah.

Literally everything I need to do a gig except microphone and mic stand. And I'm not a singer so..

DAMMIT

OK. I'm not letting this go without a fight. Following advice from the legend that is the @Dood I have now purchased some 8 X AA holders. And yes I have now spent more than another Harley Benton recheargable power supply would have cost. And they have two outlets, and phone charging, and they're smaller, and they have a torch. But where's the fun in being sensible? Here's the problem though. When I plug in my recheargable batteries I am getting just over 10.3 volts. I read somewhere that pedals will cope with 10% more than the recommended 9v. I don't know if I believe that enough to hook up several hundred pounds worth of noise machines to my non money saving crackpot homemade idea. What can ya'll tell me about this? I mean, other than go buy a proper supply, I've done that they're £35 and utterly brilliant. Does the danger of the output diminish the more pedals you hook up? Should I just throw in one older crappy battery to drop the v's?

I'm guessing kristo has inside knowledge

What have you done lately that made you look in the mirror and shake your head? What historic bass related embarrassment still haunts you in the wee small hours? I'll start. I just bought an ABY pedal. Jolly useful little chaps. What sets me above the herd, so I thought, was that mine has level controls for both outputs. Oh and only cost 15 earth pounds. What I failed to notice was that I have bought the world's only ABY pedal WHICH HAS NO Y. I can output to A. I can output to B. But not at the same time. Which is, of course, precisely the function for which I bought the darn thing.

I put my Trace through two 15" Barefaced cabs. I can highly recommend it. As well as sounding incredible they are so light to carry.

Thank you!

Something so sexy in skiffle says I

All Around my Hat - Steeleye Span

Can anyone tell me if the bass on this track (from the Hey Jude album) was played by David Hood, or Jerry Jemmott ?

I flirted with it but the closest I got was rolled by rock and moved by metal, although not for long.

I think preset setters are on a hiding to nothing. There are just too many variables and no two bassists will want identical settings. I have a pedal I'm learning today it has only 3 nobs. I just started working out how many variables just 3 controls give me and stopped when I reached a gajillion. And that's without factoring in which bass, pick ups, amp, cab, playing style. In other words if I got the job of preset setter I wouldn't worry about whether anyone would actually use what I created.

The only way I can think is to connect the USB and record it in real time onto Audacity (or software of your choice). The B3 is its own audio interface so just locate it in the record source and BOOM!

Don't know. £177. Because it is exciting!

Thanks to Rick Beato I find myself listening to "Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet". This might not sound particularly momentous to you, but for a man weaned on glam, woken up by punk, shaken by ska and only lately soothed by soul, it is a huge step.

Might be what I need to power my seat speakers.

I used to alternate between MB NY 15" cabs and BF 15" cabs, back in the land that time forgot when we gigged several times a week. I never felt the difference was quite that marked, although when I needed money and space I kept the BF cabs, so I guess that tells its own story. As @Steve_M suggests certain set ups suit different instruments in different ways. With the Orange Terror and passive P in a soul band the MBs were actually my preference. But the BF cabs I own will be the last I ever sell.
