No worries, I think many bassists are quite protective of how they achieve their sound, I have spent lots of time and effort in understanding what Justin Chancellor, Timmy C, Chris Wolstenholme and Troy Sanders use - they are all quite secretive. One thing I realized is that they all use "clean" and "dirty" amps and that signal splitting is one of the reasons why they sound so massive....... they lose no low-end and always have that basis to work with. With my option you actually don't split signal between 2 amps or cabs (like a cross over). What I do is: Bass>Morley ABY Mix Pedal (this pedal has a separate A and B output, splits the signal in 2) Output A - CLEAN Output B - Dirty (lots of Fuzz, OD, Filter etc pedals) Both these chains are then combined again using another ABY pedal (A+B=Y) so that I then have a single input into my GB STM 900. I've played around with 2 amps, but for most of us the extra elbow grease and space is not handy and this accomplishes the same. One important thing to note: I actually use a blender in my output B chain so that I can completely manage how dirty my dirty signal is (if this makes any sense). Your Aguilar DB750 is "nice" amp, so you may need to crank some mids (or have an expander pedal) on the dirty signal chain to give that smack in the face an Ampeg SVT at full whack would give. Never hesitate to contact me, I will gladly help in sourcing pedals etc. Might as well help some people miss the hassle and aggro I went through...

Grrr! andy [/quote]

He uses a Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B for all the Muff type sounds nowadays. The board on Talkbass is old....... fyi. Key is clean amp + another amp for FXs. Good if you have the money and the roadies. I have the poor man's option: Morley ABY> A signal direct for clean + B signal for FX (with added blend pedal for best bass response and more flexibility)>a second ABY>Multicomp>GB Streamliner 900 I would suggest you buy an Earthbound Supercollider, Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B or Wounded Paw attack goat (or AND) for the Muffs as they all have variable MID, while Muff always sounds Scooped. The MXR El Grande is really good for the money. My 2cents.

This is a feedback topic for Wimpy. I have just received a Mike Lull M5V from him and cannot emphasize enough how much of a pleasure it was to deal with him. Communication was spot on, description of the bass was correct, packaging and shipping was really well sorted and above all he was really interested in making the experience in dealing with him a happy one. Deal with him in full confidence that he will deliver what he says and as agreed. It is really a pleasure to do business with him. Never hesitate to contact me if you want more info. rgds, Harry P.S. The Mike Lull is AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@far0n I've just ordered the Nordy MM5.2 and a John East MMSR 4 (3 band 4 knob) to "vintage" my 1995 Stingray 5 string. You'll know exactly how the wiring should be done. Is it just connect Red+Black to the East "Hot" connector and the White+Green+Shield to the "Cold"? Any tips and especially a picture would be most appreciated, save me some trial and error BS. Thanks! Will also send PM.

I've wired mine in both series and parallel just to see the difference and series has way more bottom end but less highs. Quite boomy in fact. Parallel is far more focused in the mid-range, with extra highs for good measure. [/quote]
