[quote name='bassjamm' post='243597' date='Jul 20 2008, 01:36 AM']It's my Marleaux Constat 5 string...so we're talking about a serious piece of kit here. And of course i wouldn't do it myself, it'd be down to the Gallery for this...even with their experience i'm nervous about the thought of it, but it is the cheapest solution for my quandry! It's lined...[/quote] get a fretted neck made for it? would only cost a bit more and would mean you could swap them around whenever you felt like it?

[quote name='escholl' post='242212' date='Jul 17 2008, 10:02 PM']just picked up an EHX Blackfinger, which is amazing. it's not really any sort of life changing thing however, with compressors it's more of a "you shouldn't notice that it's on, but you should definitely notice that's it off" kinda thing.[/quote] aye i'd go with that one just picked up a blackfinger myself i like how it's fattened up my tone

the matamp ad200 bass head is much much nicer and the same price as that ;<

[quote name='burno70' post='236455' date='Jul 10 2008, 01:01 PM']I've got my eye on a Catalin Bread Hyperpak - would this count as a low gain OD?[/quote] in a word no. they're fairly full on

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='237462' date='Jul 11 2008, 05:07 PM']You're either going deaf, or listening to it through speakers with no bass...[/quote] ahh my sub broke but i just fixed it, nice tone

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='234456' date='Jul 7 2008, 08:13 PM']After years of searching, mine was finally nailed here (skip the first half of the clip... the real fun happens on the second half) ...thanks to fantastic recording gear and a great engineer. Now I just need to work out how to get it at every gig...[/quote] am i going deaf or are you pretty mixed out in this?

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='236202' date='Jul 10 2008, 12:04 AM']last night i took my new sadowsky to band practice for the first time!...... ....ive been experimenting with a few effects and compressors lately so........ i plugged my bass into each pedal (tested one at a time) then from the pedals output to my amp (mesa/aguilar) sounds pretty normal right? each pedal had fresh duracell batteries and sounded just about ok while on but really seemed to be lacking something while in the off "true bypass" mode so with each i tested the difference between the "true bypass" and just plugging straight into my amp!!! [size=6]BOOM!![/size] plugging straight into my amp was amazing!! (ive not done it in a while) it had loads more punch and sounded so much more alive than in the stupid "true bypass" mode or even with the effect/compressor switched in!! im starting to think that these pedals have been designed to sound a bit sh*t with the effect off just to make the processed signal sound even better! ive bought these pedals to improve my tone but they just end up taking the life out of my sound!! has anyone else had the same happen to them??[/quote] real true bypass has nothing that can affect your tone it just lengthens the path that the signal has to run so unless your using 2 30ft cables i'm guessing your pedal actually has a pretty bad buffer. what pedal is it?

[quote name='Toasted' post='228926' date='Jun 29 2008, 11:18 AM']Are you using your own PCB or someone elses? [/quote] just perfboard i've made a few changes to the original design. Not really attempted doing my own pcbs yet may have an attempt in the near future at applying this to pcb though as it would save alot of space. Thats good to hear that it sounds like a proper tonebender though!

i think this may be the best delivery ever

i've got a 1X15 one and i'd say there built like brick houses. Nothing to fancy just ported and insulated on the inside sounds good though

ahh thanks atm it only has a volume / blend / tone / fat switch i didn't have any spare 1k pots so no gain knobs the circuit is basically based on a tonebender mkII as i wanted to start off with a good high gain pedal, but theres quite a few modifications i've done to the pedal as in adding a blend circuit and a tone circuit and rebiasing it for the transistors i used etc. thanks for the input though! edit: the clip is on an active bass and the only problem it has is the clean blend doesn't like low output passive basses

clips on [url="http://www.myspace.com/eyepedals"]http://www.myspace.com/eyepedals[/url] can i has some opinions please ;o

probly wont impact the sound that much but i'd go for a good sovtek one

i've got a warwick IX protube for sale atm how much were you looking to spend on one?

[quote name='man_at_arms84' post='223967' date='Jun 22 2008, 08:33 AM']I have a 70's Superbass mrk II. Sounds "OK" to me. Hasnt really got the power I need. It all but dissapears as soon as the guitarist and drummer I play with start. Shame As my mate had one years ago and it sounded amazing. Mine still sounds great for guitar though. Shuuuut uupppp!!! haha. My Wallets taken a MASSIVE bashing with amps through the years and needs a good rest! I defo recomend Matamp cabs like. I got two 4x10 made up for me in Jan (they actually made me 4, incase I wanted all of them!). They sound and look great. (unfortunatley they had no green vinyl left, only a choice of black orange or pink.) Im thinking in the future of getting two 2X15's too to make a massive super rig. Let me know what yours are like when you get them. You live in sheffield and like matamp? Do you play in band down there per chance?[/quote] should just go for the best of the best and judging by what your saying you like LOUD and the matamp definatly does that. you gonna be going through 2 heads? i'm trying to look for one that isn't to expensive atm was thinking about a ampeg v4 might save and get a 400+ though 500 tube watts sounds appealing. Yeah i'm in a band called naisian i know dean from the mirimar disaster and that though whos been trying to get me and my guitarist to buy matamps. Your in the manatees right?
