Try these guys, I was gonna get some Ibanez guitar parts from them ... guessing they do bass too. [email protected]

As the title says ... Got 2 holes free as my 3rd hole will be taken up by a pup selector switch, so not sure how that would effect the preamp. Big Singles are reasonable output already so looking for tonal options. cheers guys

Well I'm gonna switch te the pickup selector out for a different one I have & do away with the 'phase switch'. Maybe still add preamp but which one ? There quite a few to choose from & none are cheap lol

Camel of Doom looking for a drummer ..... [url="http://camelofdoom.bandcamp.com/album/psychodramas-breaking-the-knots-of-twisted-synapse"]http://camelofdoom.b...twisted-synapse[/url] Anyone know any drummer that might be interested please contact me .... Simon

Andy's come up trumps again !

Shielding is good, & I've looked at that EHX humdebugger but did't think it got good reviews. Problem only really highlighted when played out-of-phase.

Hi all, will a preamp help reduce/cancel single coil hum ? I also use neck/bridge together 'out of phase' which causes hum, can this be cured ? Also do any preamps have HPF like thumpinator ? Any advice appreciated Si

I do like the idea of an expression pedal on the B3 ... leaning towards that one at the mo. Has anyone tried the B3 for recording ? ESP re monitoring (see OP) Thanks for your responses guys & keep em coming

Hi all, Looking for some advise on multi effects, I've recently bought/sold a few normal single stomp boxes but think a 'multi' type might be more what I'm after. I certainly don't want a big type board & will probably on use certain effects at certain moments in songs (don't mind having to change patches etc in between) anyway I narrowed it down to these four for now .... - TCE Nova System - Zoom B3 - Boss ME-20B - Line6 M5 I've had a Line6 pod hd before & was quite impressed ( on guitar) Had a few Boss pedals so know what to expect there (to some degree). Don't expect to use too many effects at once but I think having a compressor on permanently might be nice & the use of an expression/volume pedal is a definite plus. I'll be running thru my effects loop & probably get a decent clean/grind from my Tech21 Landmark 300's dual channels, so not as bothered about drive/dist options however if I'm ever without the Tech21 amp they will come in handy as I do want some grind/grit (think GK growl / Darkglass B3k) .. not sure how well any of the above can emulate that but pretty happy with Tech21 amp so far. I had a small multi Zoom pedal about 7 years ago but to be honest I thought it was really just a toy & certainly not impressed with the sound quality, is the B3 more pro ? It does appear to be the only one out of my selection that could be used direct into pa or pc. Does anyone know if audio from pc goes back via usb & then out of its trs jacks to monitors in studio setup ? Advise/opinions mucho apprecio .... cheers Si

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding a Boss DS-1 pedal mod. I read on line that an easy mod to do was to remove two resistors which I did (can't remember which two but could open the pedal up if needed), this was to make the DS-1 more like a boost pedal ... however what I would really like is to try make this sound something a Darkglass Microtubes B3K if that's at all possible ? I know it's probably a big ask lol I want to use this for bass guitar & don't need that much distortion. Ideally I'd like a 'blend' control knob instead of 'tone' & maybe less 'gain' and hopefully not lose too much low-end esp as I play 5 string .... Is this something any of you could do ? Or could you steer me in the right direction regarding DIY ? Any help / suggestions welcome ... I know I could just buy a B3K but don't like the Boss just collecting dust ...... cheers Simon

Pocket amp arrived today & sounds great with guitar ..... will let you know how a bass sounds with it when I get a bit of time ..... few days later lol .... (just edited this post rather than new 'reply') Just had a practice session with headphones & mp3 player (actually my phone but same as it's got 1/8" output jack), played along to some tracks & adjusted volume on my phone to get levels as I preferred the bypass mode on the Pocket amp ... actually sounded pretty good for this purpose. Gonna try it on my amp next but think it's best suited for guitar (very impressed so far just going into front end of my little valve head, haven't tried DI yet). Wanna try a Palmer Uebertreiber next to see if that gets the right type of grit I'm after ...... anyone tried one ?

I've a Palmer pocket amp incoming ,,, for guitar but curious how it'll sound with bass

highly recommended !

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1380374371' post='2224431'] And a few more photo's. Thanks to everybody for their responses. Now I need to clean up the mess on my workbench and take a couple of weeks rest from building, then I need to order some parts for my next build and slowly start working on that one again. This will be the next build: A four string fanned 34 to 32 inch scale SG based bass. Would anybody like to see a build diary on that one as well? [/quote]Ja zeker !
