    The MXR Bass Envelope Filter is a band-pass filter, I think most bass synth sounds are based around a low-pass filter. In my limited experience you have to play an octave pedal a bit. Requires a technique adjustment. Ian Martin Alison has done an excellent video on this.

    Terrible news...

    New Sire V6 and P6 models coming (also listed on Andertons). £529 for 4 string, £609 for 5 string. 5 string V6 in Ocean Turquoise could be interesting...

    Seek and Destroy by Metallica. Not the first riff I learned - that was Another One Bites the Dust - but I'd just been plunking along on various other bits and pieces until getting together with a few school friends to form a band and the first song we learned was Seek and Destroy. Looking back I think we could have started on something easier!

    Rex and Billy Sheehan as previously said... Ashdown now doing a Rex Rootmaster I see...

    ACG. Here's mine, although it's had a P-Retro added since this pic. May be hitting the marketplace soon... Desperately need to cull the herd!

    That's one I wish I'd bought! Played it in The Bass Gallery a number of years ago. One of the top 3 basses I've ever laid my hands on. Met our dear departed colleague Flanker that day and played it through his Thunderfunk amp and an Epifani 4x10... Glorious...

    Any thoughts?

    Yeah, who needs intonation...

    One of the best drives you can get. Should be much more popular. Good luck with your sale. Surprised it's still here to be honest!

    I remember seeing ads for these and the rest of the Fenix line, possibly in Guitarist magazine, WAY back.

    I've given this some thought too. With regards to the d-roc you can change the pickup selector - they're freely available from bass direct. Is there much difference in the actual placement of the pickups? You can swap mid and front pickups around to change the available options from musician-esque to jazz-esque (see videos on YouTube). As for fret access, is there much need to be up the REALLY dusty end?

    Oh, and if you can find an MTD Heir or Kingston they're also worth a shout...
  14. Bigwan
    Wow! You don't see many of these. Good luck with your sale.

    If you keep your eyes open you MIGHT get a Lakland 5501 at the top of your budget or very slightly over. Best 5 string costing that kind of money that I've owned. The neck is just sublime. Sire are great, but I'm not a great fan of their preamp. Also make sure you play before you buy as there are occasional QC issues (binding, etc) and some are like boat anchors (my Alder/Rosewood V7) was knocking on for 11lbs/5kg, although balance was good which helped a lot).

    Ever feel like selling up everything and starting your gear journey all over again... Feeling that way about now... Could be a lot of classified ads up between Christmas and New Year!

      Disillusioned and trying to sort out the difference between want and need...

    Will these work with HX Stomp? Enquiring minds and all that!

    I recently bought one of the HAZ clones advertised on the Spector fans FB page. I had planned to put it in my Euro 5, but you've got me thinking about mounting it in a pedal instead!
  19. Bigwan
    Oh, local builder I wasn't aware of... Might have to look into these!
  20. Bigwan
    That's just lovely...
  21. Bigwan
    Pics?
  22. Bigwan
    Yeah I wouldn't suggest a signature bass for exactly the same reason. Just something similar!
  23. Bigwan
    Depends what era of U2, but I'd go with a jazz. His current signature bass looks good, but any jazz with blocks would fit. Or a sparkly P bass with a block/bound jazz neck. He's used so many over the years...

    Collection only kills this for me, but I can't imagine it'll hang around long at that price!
