That's, um, a good thing. Right?

Best is the Sandberg jazz I bought from Frank. Worst probably a bunch of Fender pedals all of which are much more suitable for a guitar.

I believe Bad Penny put some shots up as they were making it. Let me see. Quite happy to whip the back off though

Going to be a while, but it gets pretty filthy I have discovered that much!

I'm treating it like many different pedals and learning them one at a time!

It's so beautiful. Pedal as a work of art. It is pretty seismic.

Back in the days of innocence and wealth I decided to ask the chaps at Bad Penny FX to make me a super duper bass fuzz with clean blend, boosts, tone shaping, effects loop and anything else they had space for. They readily agreed and began to draw up plans. Then plague settled on the land and everything went haywire. Anyway, today, the eagle has landed. Sound samples and review to follow, but of course no pics means it never happened, so here are some quick snaps.

When I first started messing with effects a couple of years ago I bought and sold pedals on a whim. I realise now that I have parted with some excellent pedals simply because I didn't understand how to use them, how to get the best from them. So I've started to put that straight. First to return is the Boss Dynamic Wah AW-3. I realise now that you really can't go far wrong with Boss, or their affordable Behringer clones. They just pack much into a solid, useable box. This pedal also stops me gagging for the Seamoon Funk Machine. The main feature of which is a down filter. The down mode here is excellent. It's easy to control and in the mix it's just so darned fonky. I particularly like the vowel sounds available, and the autowah function is so wet, it's filthy. Haven't even tried it with an expression pedal yet! I'll get some sound samples up soon

OK, I was going to share the patch using tonelib but I have installed the cheeky zoom hack and now tonelib doesn't recognise all of the effects. So here goes. 1: Dynamic Drive 2: Bass Pitch 3: MonoSynth 4: A-Filter 5: Dirty Gate Which put all together and recording directly from the pedal into Audacity, sounds like this

I shall get to it today!

We all have our proclivities

As I say, I thought the review was positive. Where Thomann beat the competition is their stuff is perfectly playable straight out of the box.

Ah, thank you. Break The Machine was the only UK stockist I found and they're out of stock

I have a fantastic gnarly, synth wah sound in my B1on which is worth keeping it for alone! Of course the tuner and headphone out are also often in use.

Anyone know where a Seamoon can be purchased?

Just discovered this post. It's bizarre reading. A positive review of an incredibly cheap instrument with one essential caveat - it needs a thorough set up. The responses that followed are then utterly negative as if you'd slated the bass from finish to fretboard! Not great for a beginner but superb for someone who knows what they're doing and is strapped for cash. That's how I read it

That's what worried me

Are we allowed? Or does it fall foul of regulations? Thinking of ways to raise cash to reimburse the South West Bass Bash for lost monies this year

Could be the Earl of Warwick

I never like to run against a fellow Basschatter. Interested in the Pour Over Envelope Filter on eBay finishing today. Are you already bidding?

I don't have the acoustic Paul. I like to keep a couple of models for future gas 🤦
