I bought an EQD pedal off Left Foot. After some initial miscommunication process was very smooth and I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

Nick Lowe used to be in a band called Rockpile. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockpile This was their 4th flight case, clearly. Since Rockpile split in '81 I would think your cabs are late '70s. Gauss (Cetec) 5840 speakers were the dogs dangly bits back in the day, people often used them as bass bins in PA systems due to their power handling. Nice bit of '70s history I'd say!

Pleasure!

Yes, MXR green bass one.

It's not the worst April fools joke of today.....

This: http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_mainframe.html Site looks a bit odd, but it is legit. Mate of mine has one, works a treat and is designed for bass.

Nice one.

Beg Pardon?

Get an MXR, not the greatest but better than Boss and sub-100. Keeley and Providence make the best choruses imo, but are >100.

I had a CM on my pedalboard for a long time, ultimately only getting rid of it due to needing the board real estate it occupies. Loved the low gain tubey drive setting, but actually when cranked it did a very decent face melter too. I had the EBS as well, never worked as well for me to be frank, didn't like the overall sound of the thing. Never missed a DI on either....

I would fork out the money and buy some decent speakers..... What you are suggesting may work but will not make a huge difference, better speakers and better EQ-ing will.

Nice

Buy a Dean Edge 8 or Rhapsody 8..... The BC member that bought mine was really happy.

Metric vs Imperial hex sizes? If the bolt looks intact it is most definitely hex size related. Any bassist should own both in any case... Since you state double action and based on your description I am guessing you bought another Wick. Those are metric, perhaps the one provided and the ones you tried were imperial? Good luck.

Boooooo hisssss humbug
