Do you know if the Toneprint editor has the same crossover and EQ features? I've got a Corona Mini also but not tried messing with the PC app yet.

For £35 you could also get a used Fender or Seymour Duncan and shift it on for the same price if you decide it's not for you. Place a wanted ad and you're bound to get one quick!

New in at Bass Direct: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Combustion_NG2_Pearl_Pink.html I could never get away with playing this, but all the same, I love it!

Certain shops will mark their packages as $5 value to get around this. Illegal of course, but still jolly nice of them. Just to rub your nose in it, I just bought a $300 pedal, it came through marked up for the full value and I didn't have to pay customs a penny! You win some, you lose some.

I still say it is one of the worst sounding pedals I have ever heard, from this demo at least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4L3PwjvkZs I read the threads on the Volt Thrower too. The rave reviews made me want one, the cool looking box made me want one even more. Then I heard it and lost interest instantly! I've heard some good demos of the MXR though (at low to medium gain at least)!

I must say that Behringer above looks like one of the best options and is a bargain to boot. Being able to cut the bass out of the mp3 you're jamming along to is a feature I miss!

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1416174304' post='2607687'] nope, with you on that. sounds from the clips like a one trick pony with a pretty poor low end! [/quote] Changed your mind on that then?

I've been on the waiting list for years on this, but Frank at FEA had some health issues that meant he was on hiatus for quite a while. I finally got my hands on it yesterday! Got lucky with the customs too even though it was properly marked up. [color=#ff0000][b][size=2]It's the [size=3]second[/size] best fuzz I've ever played.[/size][/b][/color] It's incredibly versatile, from aggressive overdrive distortion in the vein of the Le Bass, through to muff tones and even TAFM territory. It just sounds so alive. The mutts nuts indeed. I've bought and flipped many a fuzz over the years as nothing could hold a candle to my TAFM, but this just about matches it!

Either an Aguilar Tonehammer, VT Bass, or Le Bass as a preamp, into a PJB Bighead, into Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pros. (Tried the PJB cans as well but they are harsher up top and don't have the powerful lows of the Beyers). I hardly ever plug into my amp at home these days! The PJB Bighead is a great headphone amp, others I've tried like Zoom units are either noisy or don't put out enough volume (through my cans at least, they are 80 ohms which is higher than typical consumer headphones). I like the fact it's separate so I can plug in different preamps at will - the Aguilar gets chosen for classic P Bass and flats type of tones, and the Le Bass for modern aggressive sounds, and the VT can actually cover both.

It can also be if the string was put on with a slight twist in it. Some like to wrap the string around the tuner to speed things up, and if the ball end doesn't rotate to compensate, you end up tightening up a twisted string.

Shuker also offer complete necks from £200: http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/services.html

Getting it converted wouldn't be much cheaper than just getting a new neck. With a new neck you are not harming resale value and you also have the option of switching back again! Sims start at £285 for a maple neck, I assume that includes frets so a fretless should be a fair whack cheaper! http://www.simscustom.com/html/00pricing.htm

Tech21 MIDI Mouse for £50: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289385-fs-%3B-reduced-source-audio-sb2-multiwave-bass-distortion-midi-mouse/

Host them somewhere else like imgur.com then paste them in! If you wrap the link in IMG tags, or just use the image button on the compose message toolbar, they will show up directly in the post like this:

[quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1472944938' post='3125562'] Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what pickup is in a 95 us standard p-bass? [/quote] Not being flippant here, but that would be a '95 Fender American Standard Precision Bass pickup! As far as I know, they started putting the Custom Shop 62 pickup in from 2012, but before that it never had a special name. It's likely that the specs varied over the years too, I know 2008 era ones sound quite aggressive for example. I really like the one that came stock in my 2004, I did the usual pickup upgrade only to find I preferred the original!

A tip - view the Songster website on a mobile device and it behaves just like the app, only missing a couple of more advanced features like looping and soloing instruments. This way you can use it for free!

Check out Disaster Area: http://www.disasterareaamps.com/product-category/midi-controller Also AMT make one: http://eshop.amtelectronics.com/router-footswitch-selector/amt-electronics-fs-2midi-footswitch-midi-controller.html

Likewise.

The other option course is to build a bitsa, there are loads of 7.25" Jazz necks to choose from!

Check out the BeatBuddy pedal!

That solves the issue of output levels from the pedal, but the main reason I want this is to fix the input levels into the pedal, e.g. an envelope filter that needs a boost before it to make it useable with a quiet passive bass.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1472836078' post='3124688'] So, unless your "lost/stolen" bass is within 10 metres of you, it can't be located ? [/quote] Not unless the thief has the app on their phone or happens to stroll past someone else who does whilst carrying the bass, before the battery runs out on the transponder!
