A Boss LS-2 will do half of it, i.e. blending the B7K with an EQ'ed clean signal. Put the B7K and EQ in separate loops. Ignore the parallel out of the B7K and let the LS-2 split your signal for you. Set the mix levels with the LS-2, then if you want to bypass the EQ and just have the B7K blended with clean, just turn off the EQ. Or if you just want the B7K soloed, hit the LS-2 to switch to just that loop instead of the mix of A+B. Alternatively, SFX also do a simple mini mix pedal that sums two pedals together - you could use this instead of the above to blend the output of the EQ pedal and the B7K effect out. Since they both have volume knobs you can do without them! That's the blend portion out of the way - then just use a separate true bypass loop for the rest of the wah/fuzz chain. But if you want it all in one box, I would hit up SFX, COG, Bright Onion, etc!

If you want a drawbar organ sound look at the EHX B9 / C9 pedals. If you want a mellow house-like synth bass sound - 3Leaf Octabvre Mini gets my vote, that's exactly what I use mine for!

You don't need a Precision, you need two. One with flats, one with rounds. And a Jazz.

If you want a decent simple passive A/B box in a tiny pedal, I have one for sale here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/290887-lucid-audio-fuzz-o-potamus-original-q-tron-wee-lush-ab-boxx-napalm-snowball-feedback-loop-tap-tempo-switch

I would also avoid using Bluetooth for playing bass. However, for video playback, some players automatically adjust when connected to Bluetooth, I know the nPlayer app I use on my iPad does not do this but it does have a manual slider to adjust the delay!

I currently use a Fairfield Accountant as a dirty boost. Sounds much nicer than the Phat Phuk to me. It's a compressor, but set to low compression it's a fantastic mild overdrive/boost in 1590A size - and there's one in the classifieds! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cumlB6lUU-Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=121MDHvWwEw Otherwise there is the Southampton Fifth Gear - the old model is 1590A with just a volume knob, the new one is slightly larger with more controls.

Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro. Only ever tried Sony MDR-7506 (meh), PJB H-850 (ok) and these (great) for bass practice.

I've looked inside and can see no reason why it wouldn't.

The Boss LS-2 will split the signal for an fx loop for the laptop, give you individual level controls for each channel and mix to a single output for the bass amp.

A Boss OC-2 with the octave soloed sounds awesome - but the output volume isn't quite up there. The 3Leaf Octabvre fixes that though, I highly recommend it. Then pair that up with a Source Audio Manta, a mad filter/distortion pedal with envelope/LFO/expression/hothand control and you can conjure up tons of sounds from those two pedals alone.

Steel strings, scooped EQ. Sounds awful to me though, he could do with a set of flats and boosting the mids!

I would call that a latency issue rather than tracking, which usually refers to an analog octaver's tendency to warble when trying to lock into the correct pitch. There is a small delay with all digital octavers though. If you want instant response, don't need to sound like a natural bass guitar, and only need monophonic octave down - analog all the way!

Echoing what some others have alluded to, the recording and mixing processes are just as important as the mastering. Make sure you're getting top quality results from the earlier stages too, as you can't polish a turd. You can however, roll it in glitter!

If you're using Dunlop steels, they feel lifeless because they're cr4p strings. I put a set on and found them duller than their nickels (which are decent)! Dunlop Super Bright, or the Marcus Miller set, is another story though. Very lively, and the lowest tension I've ever seen in a string, which makes for effortless slap etc. But they took a long time to break in until I was happy with the tone, they sounded far too thin and clanky at first.

Truetone CS-12 does 9V AC and is not on that list.

If you wrap the string around the post a couple of times before turning the peg, this twists the string. If the ball end isn't rotated to free it, you can end up tightening a twisted string, which can result in dead sounding strings, strange overtones, or even a chorus-like effect.

For a rock band and that budget I would be seriously looking at the Fender USA Geddy Lee sig!

I would get a Jazz... but maybe not spend £1500 on one for now. For that much you could get a used Squier CV Jazz, Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Pro, and Sterling Ray34CA, learn a lot more about what you like and still have change!

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1475507663' post='3146469'] It's actually remarkably easy to swap tasks with hands but you need a reason to do it. Try using a mouse for example. Doesn't take long to get used to it in the other hand. [/quote] Yes, when my right hand is busy I use my left hand on the mouse...

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1475499301' post='3146381'] As I've mentioned in other related threads I do a lot of other two handed things right handed (played cricket and golf right handed) and I'm right footed but single handed things (raquet sports) always left handed. Thus I end up in an odd way with cutlery - knife and fork right handed but spoon leftie! However I usually use a mouse right handed as invariably I've taken over a desk from someone else and thats been how the PC was arranged so I just carried on that way. It's also handy in that I can browse the internet right handed with the mouse whilst taking down hand written notes with my left at the same time. [/quote] Exactly the same here. When playing tennis I can switch hands as I find it easier than doing a backswing! Also snooker/pool is left handed.

Want.

Try the intro to Love Is The Drug if you fancy a challenge. I can't figure out how to time the transition to the verse for the life of me!

Actually the Fender P5 pickup fits that description, and I've seen a few floating about used from owners that have switched them out for Nordstrand etc. If you see one for a good price, jump on it!
