Used it on Sunday. Played with my semi (stop sniggering at the back) which I've never quite taken to. The output has always seemed to me to be somewhat bland and gutless. This pedal was a wonder. Remained on throughout the gig, lending the bass a warm almost valve like richness. The OD was neither fizzy nor farty, the tone controls responsive. Suddenly an old bass had new life breathed into it. Oh and sustain? I think one high B is still ringing out in the pub now.

What began as a jam has slowly morphed into what almost resembles a band. We still don't rehearse but we had a list of songs for yesterday's gig. Not that we played them in any particular order mind you. We basically spend the late afternoon into the early evening playing vaguely blues oriented tunes, but anything goes really (Led Zeppelin followed by Dolly Parton anyone?). Drummer kicks a cahon and rattles a few bits and pieces, outrageously good singer and a couple of guitars trading solos. The pub, despite not receiving our posters so no advanced advertising, was pretty quiet, but the landlord paid us. An honourable man. If you're ever in Pewsey buy a pint at the Royal Oak and tell him Stew sent you. People who show proper support for live music need to be cherished.

Darn it I knew this one.

more of a lame to fame but I put up curtain tracks for a mate and his missus asked me about my music. I'm a bass player I said. Oh my uncle plays bass. Oh yes, is he local would I know him? No uncle John doesn't live around here. You might have heard of him though. He used to play with Queen.

Funnily enough I'm looking at those same cabs @Jack linked you to do do precisely this ; ie extend a BG208 to a much more capable, extremely portable rig. You won't regret it.

🤔

Sounds awesome! Not sure what it is unfortunately...

It is painful whenever altruism is repaid with carelesness. But being kind and sharing is always a good thing, for you and for others. I hope this incident doesn't change that side of your nature.

Been offered it for 150... or possible trade. Worth thinking about.

I always think smaller atop slightly larger is OK. Never the other way around

No! I am the anarchist ref, there are no rules. Have at it, do your worst. Who says we can't have 6 different clips in play at once? Or 7. Come on we can do whatever we want to

no, I um, I know what I'm doing, I, um, oh..

but but..

I've not used it at any kind of volume yet nor noticed excessive hiss, but I don't tend to push the top end too much for my sound.

I think you need to ask your local to borrow their skittle alley for an hour and try it. 😉

err...

Mine goes from a loud home practise amp to a very capable gigging set up when I add an 8ohm cab Most certainly does not drop off.

um..

Thank you.

Initial impressions are hugely favourable. Don't know if this recording does it much justice but in a mix gives a beautiful warm edge of breaking sound and can I'm sure get pretty nasty if you like that sort of thing. Plays really nicely with other pedals too. think you can get this with Joyo and Harley Benton logos on too - I just grabbed a cheapy to try. Anyhow first go out of the box

Yep @AussieBassman you are turn as my appalling grammar suggested!

Sorry mate. This game has a mind of its own. I started it with the idea that the winner got to post the next clip but as it turned out quite often people who win can't post until later in the day, so to keep the game going folk started to put up clips as and when they had them. You are indeed the winner so don't feel any hesitation in posting - no need to wait we've had two different games going at once before!

Thread Resurrection Time. I played a couple of basses in our local shop today. A Squier VM Jazz with felt odd. neck was horribly bowed which didn't help but it just didn't feel right. I then noodled on a 4 string Peavey, dark with tort plate, rosewood neck. It felt light and agile in my hands. A slender invitingly playable neck, clear bridge pickup, thumping P Bass neck pick up. I didn't pay attention to what I was playing but I'm pretty sure it was one of these Zodiacs you folk were chewing over just last year. What can you tell me about them?
