Time for an update. [URL=http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/image_zps93313940.jpg.html][IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k147/welcometombh/image_zps93313940.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Palmer Octobus controls all pedals (programmable) apart from the Multicomp which is always ON. There are 4 gain/ dirt stages: Carl Martin Bass drive (low gain tube breakup), MXR Bass OD (medium gain), COG Fuzz (settings pretty heavy) and lastly the excellent B3K distortion ( hi gain distortion). I use these separate and combined. Then a simple EBS Octabass, MXR Bass Envelope and MXR Chorus for more sonic goodness and lastly an MXR Line Driver for Clean Boost and a Korg Tuner. My board is a Pedaltrain PT3 and I have 2 Voodoo Lab power plants installed to power it all.

Isn't this more about the ridiculous prices Fender charges for their Custom Shop models than anything else? I have actually played a Pino and it was an absolute dream to play (TI flats rock!), but it was not better than for instance my old Lull PJ with TIs which was a lot cheaper and probably not hugely better than any well built Fender standard P (you can luck into a really good one, like on of my mates). Personally I don't get spending that much on an instrument (and it gets progressively worse when you start looking at Alleva, Fodera etc), especially since I can guarantee you that a lot of the people that own instruments like it are part time hobby musicians, it's like having a Rolls and only using it for the weekly ASDA trip. I get it even less that you then take this 8 grand custom art work to the local pub and gig it over the 50 quid Behringer 1x10, as that is like driving your Roller to the ASDA on wooden wheels. My point? If you are ridiculously rich or stupid or just really want it or whatever, do it, but a VW Golf will do the weekly ASDA trip as well. And as

There is some sort of filter effect going on. The sonic landscape is painted by bass and guitars, but if I were to cover this song I would be trying low gain OD into envelope filter (very light!) into sft (does the whole doom thing nicely). Muff based fuzz with blend and mid control would also work for sft. What do you guys think?

Can't beat a Muff based fuzz!

The nano is very small and very low, not much will fit below. I went with a OneSpot + daisy chain in the end.

I have a Tecamp Puma 900, great SS D class amp, a notch or two above the norm. I am not as big a fan of their cabs, they are too modern for my taste. That said, they are really well made and light as....

Alan bought a One Control Mosquite Blender, very smooth and pleasant transaction indeed, one of the BC members I will very happily deal with again. Cheers Alan!

What is a guitar? Sound like something with too short a scale, puny strings, and totally overrated

You forgot the why part [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1371805729' post='2118279'] Mark E Smith. What a jumped up little arsehole. [/quote]

After reading some of the discussions on BC, I think it is time for a tally on who you think is the saddest, grumpiest, most ridiculous, annoying musician/luthier/producer/CEO or whatever in the music industry and why. To start with I nominate [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]John Hall, CEO of a certain company that starts with an R and ends with ickenbacker - because he is so incredibly offended by the fact that people are copying his company's design whilst he should view it as a positive. People can afford a clone and can aspire to one day owning the real thing. John Hall, in my book you are a deeply sad person.[/font][/color] (I hope you have not trade marked your "visage".... ) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Who's next?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]P.S. This is intended a some light hearted fun, so please can we keep it light hearted, free of profanity etc?[/font][/color]

A tuner

I have just ordered one (very reasonable price for the custom work Tom needs to do), all the positive feedback has made me want to try one. Tom was kind enough to give me some feedback and insight on an idea I have been playing around with on my breadboard. I still am of the opinion that the Muff Deluxe is a really good low cost pedal that does what is says on the box. Not the best pedal out there, but certainly very good for the money and reading dannybuoy input I am not the only one who thinks that.

Warwick, the sound of a great big gaping hole in the wood...... Sorry Guy, but this bass is a pr@tt.
