I am only allowed to vote for my girlfriend. She doesn't like me thinking about other girls who play the bass.

I'm sure lots of people will be along with recommendations. All I'd say is that £100 can buy an awful lot if you look through the classifieds on here, or buy second-hand on eBay. Plus the pedals will hold their value when you want to upgrade or try a new sound. A bit of sensible shopping could get you a decent trio of pedals in the classifieds.

Can I also suggest a tremolo set to a really, really low speed - so your wall of fuzzy stuff slowly crashes down on people, then fades away, then crashes down again. That might be fun - a roll of thunder under the sheets of guitar noise.

You would if you saw her ;-)

My girlfriend IS a bass player. And a much more talented one than me. What are you all doing with these non bass-girls?

My board changes on almost a weekly basis... But the principles are usually the same. All the fun true-bypass fuzzes that want to interact with my pickups at the front, with a true-bypass boost just in case. Then everything that isn't true bypass attached via loopers. Main EHX delay last (there's a shorted analogue delay in a loop to d slapback), then TU-2 to act as a buffer and kill oscillation for tuning if need be, then pre-amp. That usually works...

Or any other info would be useful, I can't seem to find much on it![/quote] Here you go Danny - from inception to final sales described on the electrical forum: [url="http://www.electrical.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24845"]http://www.electrical.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24845[/url] I'm told that I was the first person to order a production model. Woohoo!

I got so excited because I thought we were going to discuss basses MADE out of metal... Oh well.

This: [url="http://www.tronographic.com/"]http://www.tronographic.com/[/url] It made me sell my Sansamp.

We're starting a new three piece in London. We're influenced by Shellac, Cop Shoot Cop, Lightning Bolt, Om, Oneida etc etc We are bass and drums. Both been in post-rock bands before. We need you to come and play bass too. You will get loads of chance to shine, since no guitarists means no egos. Ability to play an aggressive, repetitive groove intensely desirable. If you can do some singing/shouting that's fine, but we have plenty of that already if you can't. No tunes or MySpace yet. You're going to help shape them. We want an intense, but open sound. Dynamics, distortion and despair in equal measures.

I'm up for London! I can bring a selection of Devi Ever fuzzes, plus a whole load of other things. I guess I'll try and bring the fun ones people might want to try out for amusement or curiosity reasons rather than my normal gig board. Once we get organised I'll publish a full list so people coming can tell me what they want to try.

Hi Dan, Sounds like your luthiery is still at the beginner stage, like mine. So a quick opinion... Before you try re-routing it is it worth trying different pups and circuitry in-situ? I'm petrified of routing, especially with no pickguard to cover all the mistakes.

Robbie's a pleasure to deal with. I hope he has lots of fun with his new Sansamp!

I want one SO much.
