I've used both ways with mine & never noticed any difference [/quote] Definitely does sound different a lot more meaty. I have kept all the settings the same and tried it both ways.

    Right then been doing some playing around with my Ashdown little bastard recently and I have always used the send and return to rig up my effects. Last night i tried it a different way and plugged my bass straight through my effects into my amp and it sounds awesome compared to the send and return jacks. What i am asking is this a safe way to continue using my pedals or is it going to harm my little bastard?

    [quote name='timo' post='1220930' date='May 5 2011, 12:39 PM']I've bought too much stuff recently so I'm selling my Seymour Duncan Double Back Compressor. The 'doubleback' feature allows you to blend in some of the clean, uncompressed signal to retain tone while adding sustain. The doubleback section has a filter to allow you to blend in high frequencies, mids or full range, I usually just have it on full range although high can be good for slap stuff to add super bright punchiness. Other knobs are attack, sustain and volume. Its true bypass and sturdily built although I've just noticed its missing a couple of screws from the back, guess its always been like that and it's still solid. These retail at £130+, I got it ex-demo in October for £89.50 (I'll enclose the receipt for the rest of the warranty) and it's lived in a pedal bag since then so in good condition but has some light scratches, no original box or manual. £85 posted. Can get photos if required.[/quote] umm can we get some photos?

    [quote name='EskimoBassist' post='1215893' date='Apr 30 2011, 03:49 PM']It's loud and noisy, I didn't like it at all. Glad I spent the extra on an EBS MultiComp. For a pedal in a similar price bracket, look at the BBE Optostomp as recommended above.[/quote] I kinda got that feeling to be honest. Im going to a take a trip and try a few out

    [quote name='civictiger' post='1208597' date='Apr 22 2011, 07:53 PM']Just need someone to send me an audio demo.. you dont have to introduce or play anything specificm or show your face, just want someone to send me an audio clip of the settings I will provide them.. kinda like a try before buy kinda thing PM me if you can do this for me! thanks Andy[/quote] I havent got a mamouth, however i almost bought one and Tim at mansons advised against it because it doesnt suit active basses. He reccomended the mastaron. It has a sub switch from 1-3 which controls the deep you want that fuzz so it never gets lost in the mix. Im very happy with mine, it did take me a while to tame the beast as it were but you soon find the sound you looking for. Apparently Chris Wolstenholme is using one in his current setup And a plus there only £99 bonus

    [quote name='voxpop' post='1209254' date='Apr 23 2011, 04:00 PM']If you are talking about the little bastard in your signature, just undo the 4 bolts from the side and loosen the 4 bolts on the handle and the whole amp will slide out of the case. I found the little bastard has to much gain on the input and will distort with most basses. If you want to clean the sound swap out the two ECC83 valves for ECC81's. ECC83 or 12ax7 have a gain of 100 ECC81 or 12at7 have a gain of 70 ECC82 or 12au7 have a gain of 20 [url="http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html"]http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html[/url] hope this helps.[/quote] very informative voxpop i will take a look, thank you

    [quote name='muttley' post='1187684' date='Apr 4 2011, 12:56 PM']Well, I can keep the Squire P for pretty-much as long as I need it but my teacher would prefer me to get an unlined fretless. Since this narrows my choice considerably (I've been looking...) it's a good job I'll have the loan instrument for a while![/quote] Dude i bought a Warwick Streamer rock bass just as i started learning to play, and i loved it. I have just bought a status series 2 custom and it is awesome. However yesterday I put a nice new set of roundwounds on my rockbass gave it a setup and i just couldnt put it down excellent sound and build quality I would defiantly recommend one as your first bass best of luck in your search

  17. deanbean502
    Ive got one of these and im thinking of selling mine aswell Why are you selling yours? To be honest the thing with me is I struggle for space and to be fair this head is quite large. Thinking of getting something like a 2x10 Tc electronic so I can stand it upright other than that a cracking little amp good luck with the sale, have a bump
  18. deanbean502
    I love these and if i had the dough i would buy it, beautiful colour. I hope you dont mind me saying but those strings look a bit dodgy on them tuning posts. Just an observation

    Multi Fx

    deanbean502 posted a topic in Effects

    Can anyone recommend a good multi fx pedal? I have a few Separate pedals which are all well and good but a nightmare to keep setting up. I have a Digitech BP80 which is enough to put me off Digitech for life. (by the way its for sale any takers?) So im thinking get a decent multi fx pedal. What do you guys think? What do you use? cheers Dean
