Thought this might be fun. Not a thread for actual synth pedals, which are utterly incredible these days. I'm after those of us who also enjoy the old fashioned way to 'build' a synth bass sound by stacking individual stomp boxes. What do you use? In what order? To produce what sound?

Oh wow! Precious beyond words

You can practice with headphones plugged directly into the backbeat. But live it just handles the bass.

I suspect he's not being specific. Just outlining the way he learned by recognising patterns on the fretboard.

Bruce was the one who stood up to him as far as I can gather. Elvis also took umbrage with the Big Wheel which was, I believe, the breaking point.

The American sound is my 'always on' pedal of choice. I like the tone controls and the way it helps me sit in the mix. The Oxford I plan on using to kick things up to a more distorted, louder sound for filling beneath solos and such.

Mine has arrived, second hand from here. Not gigged it yet but had a play at home. Different again from all the others in this series. Hard to describe a pedal with such a variety of sounds available. It's not fuzzy, not ratty, more..throaty? Either way another great Joyo pedal.

I was in the opposite situation which is why I bought the tube one - I just had to try it! I find the MOSFET easier to get the sound I like. Probably because I'm more familiar with it than through any failing in the tube model. But honestly, they're both great.

I have the Veyron M and the T. Gigged both, either will do you proud. Seriously loud, reliable amps in a lightweight package

Not home but at the singer's home after a private party in some god forsaken part of Wiltshire. Went really well, a lot of extremely drunken people which is never pretty but they were well behaved. Used the Nuke in biamped mode. Sounded mighty

I don't wish to start a thread derailing debate so I'll retire from the conversation.

"don't use ivory, ivory is bad" Uses a piece of bone instead 🤦

Belt and braces!

There is at the moment for sure. But I never leave home without my Elf.

That would look awesome with a tort scratch plate 😉

Just received a pedal, arrived well packaged after an entirely painless transaction. I'm more than happy to recommend this most excellent Basschatter.

I wouldn't dream of it

I always feel sad when I sell an amp. But you're right I can't lift it

No idea I'm afraid. Not familiar. I have an SVT CL. But that's different.

So many great amps for sale right now, and I'd like to get my mitts on many of them. Funds wouldn't quite stretch to them all but two came my way this week. The Behringer BX4500H I've owned since my kids were little. They have their own kids now and the amp is beginning to get a bit battered and bits are dropping off. Time to retire it then. Imagine my joy when I was offered one, delivered to my door, in perfect condition. In my experience and opinion it's probably the best kept secret of the bass amp world. It sounds absolutely phenomenal. I also scored a Bugera BTH3600, known less formally as The Nuke. I wanted one of these when they first came out and simply couldn't resist this opportunity. I remember all the wailing a gnashing of teeth at the Bugera and Behringer brands all those years ago, and I'm so glad I ignored it. I now own three of each of their amps and I can't wait to gig The Nuke...once I work out what all the nobs and buttons do!

It was so reasonably priced and in perfect nick. Happy days

Thank you. These are going to be so useful
