'Twas my pleasure matey!

James bought my MXR M-80. Prompt payment (although Paypal is keeping it for a few days AGAIN to make some extra profit), good comms and just a real pleasure to deal with. I would sell/buy again with utter confidence. Thanks James!

I own 2 Lulls for their sound, playability and build quality, not their headstock and imho buying or not buying a bass because of how it looks ranks up there with woman buying shoes. Form over function.... Now in answer to the actual question, Lull B strings are a top act! Anyone who has actually ever played/owned one will concur.

What is your budget? Taylor AB1 is probably (one of) the best our there, but not cheap.

You also need to consider that some acoustic basses are really soft acoustically. No issue if you plug into the desk, put if you play 100% unplugged you might run into issues.

I bought JohnnyC's NV610 a few months back. Having lived with it and gigged it during this period (I think 10 or 11 gigs) I can honestly say that the sound makes up for the fact it is a bit heavier than you would ideally want. 100lbs is not overly heavy (although I am quite a strong lad) and the size is perfect. Really easy to move and I find it is not really any more hassle than the 2 GK cabs I used to carry (yes they are lighter, but also 2 cabs vs 1). As for the sound: I had only used an NV610 once before and bought one off the forum based on that + the good reviews and I am not disappointed. What a cracker! I am sure Barefaced Cabs are great (never owned one) and if they did a 610 it would be awesome, but Ampeg, Markbass, Ashdown etc etc do not even come close to the Berg. Not close at all.... that is how good the Berg is. The NV412 is also really good, and I believe there may be one on sale on the forum still. DO IT!!!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1341234588' post='1715457'] get another Unichorus. It is a great pedal! The Analogman Chorus is lovely too. I use the Moog Clusterflux which is seriously expensive and serious overkill for most... before that I was always very happy with the EBS! [/quote] I tried to get another Unichorus, but the shop I was in did not have them in stock and against my better judgement I bought the CEB-3 (which is fine for the money, but is not a "good" chorus).... I needed a chorus quick. Will do some research and buy another Unichorus if I cannot find another I like. Thanks for the tips so far gents!

CLassic Fuzz? TecAmp DreamBuzz

Heavy Fuzz? Earthbound Supercolider or Beast (same pedal, but Beast has some extras), Wren&Cuff Pickle Pie B.

Ooh that reminds me, I pretty much hate the Boss CEB-3, but my EBS died some months back. Anyone have any bass chorus tips?

Okay, don't think I posted mine on BC ever. This is quite a "stable" set up, I don't change things around that much. Bass>Ebs Octabass>Home Made Y split box>left side of split signal goes direct to Morley Mix<right side of split signal goes to Rodenberg 728B>MXR Bass Envelope>Darkglass B3K>Earthbound Beast>Boss CEB-3>Morley Mix The Morley recombines a clean signal (50%) with the effects signal (50%) - I can vary the volume levels of these individually by setting input levels. Morley Output A goes to EBS Multi Comp, Output B goes to Tuner (I can turn these on and off individually) Why split signal? Because it just sounds better! On larger stages I don't recombine the signals, just use 2 amps. All this goodness is powered by a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power II.

You'd have to pay me to use a monster like that.... that is one fugly bass.

She needs to stay off the wacky backy! I think she just looks spaced out of her mind

The prices some people pay just to be able to say "original" is ridiculous. I never got that must be old to be good thing.
