Looks a bit different doesn't it! He says he can apply a range of patterns and finishes as they are built to order too. http://www.retrovibe.co.uk/custom/django.html

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1458735971' post='3010286'] The DarkGlass Microtubes Vintage is also nice, but I found it a bit too dark and I sold mine quickly, we didn't get along. [/quote] If you want a brighter VMT, check out the Vulcan!

Only one poor YouTube demo around and I can only find one for sale from Italy on eBay, but expect this to be available for under £40 soon: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pedale-Nux-scream-bass-overdrive-x-per-basso-/181963441908 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Rk6c-OTD8

[quote name='GremlinAndy' timestamp='1458579459' post='3008787'] Any suggestions? (Not Chrome / Firefox etc. as said earlier, this is a work machine, and I don't have permission to just add stuff.) [/quote] Depending on how your work have configured stuff... if you just don't have admin rights to install apps and they haven't blocked launching anything that isn't white-listed, then sign up for an account at [url="https://turbo.net"]Turbo.net[/url]. It will let you run any version of any browser on your machine without installing it - everything is copied to your user profile so you don't need admin rights to run anything.

Well I am typing this from Edge as a test and it all seems just fine! I do know what you mean though from experiencing the same issue with IE11 in the past. Try hitting the button on the top left of the composer that looks like a lightswitch to turn off all the rich text editing stuff, that should help.

Or you could just get one from the US for around £200...

Personally I would steer clear of Zoom multis. They're great for learning about effects, or having a lot of different effects in one box with presets, but if you're at all fussy (like I am) about your overdrive sounds I think you'd be very dissatisfied (like I was). I've nothing against digital effects though - in fact if I were you I would wait for the Source Audio Aftershock to be released in April, it has a ton of models from tubey overdrive to fuzz, including a model of the Darkglass B3K, and ridiculously in-depth parameter tweaking app to fine tune it: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/npd-sa-aftershock.1211545 I've owned it's its predecessor the OFD and a couple of the models were very good at copping the old school P Bass + tube amp tones.

My fave for a warm subtle overdrive to pair with a P and flats is the Bearfoot Blueberry. It's a dark sounding pedal though and not the best for aggressive pick playing (for which I turn to either an Aguilar Agro, Two Notes Le Bass or Pike Vulcan). Definitely check out the VT Bass, that can cover a wide range and sounds great. If there's one thing I've learnt from all my years of pedal fiddling though, it's that everyone's ears, opinions, gear and playing styles are different, and you can't even rely on a YouTube demo most of the time. The true path to enlightenment requires buying and selling to try as many as you can to see what works for you!

So, quest update... The big box Q-Tron arrived to sit next to the Mini. It's more versatile but not as funky. The TruTron left the building to be replaced by a Meatball, which now takes the top slot. Better than its descendants the Groove Regulator and GR2 IMHO. I have a rekindled love for the MXR M82, it just works so well in a mix due to the blend but is still wild enough to be audible. Also you can use it as a boost pedal. Tried the Manta... and returned it. And finally... I have a Mr Black Fwonkbeta incoming which is the most goddam funky sounding pedal I have ever layed ears upon! http://youtu.be/wnrl3gkAbGs I have a feeling I might just end up with this and the MXR and call it a day.

Yamaha BB1025X - the only reason I'd sell it would be if a nice black 2025X popped up used!

Sounds like my lawnmower!

I think you'd be better off keeping out in one piece. Fender style bodies and necks always sell well as people enjoy putting them together and know that most stuff will fit together. If your Peavey isn't interchangeable with Fender stuff, then not many people would want to buy a Peavey neck or body unless they had the other matching half lying about already, or would be making their own

If you want Jazz width but chunkier front-to-back, my Sandberg Basic falls into that category, not sure if the necks are the same across their range though.

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1457726123' post='3001409'] Filter before overdrive!? Well that's just not right at all... [/quote] That's precisely where it should go unless you want to sound like a cheap synthesiser!

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1457612423' post='3000084'] Pestie, What didn't you like about the Road Worn? The Classic 50's/ 60's series are a premium Mexican range, but will differ slightly from the RW in that they will have a Poly finish and be unrelic'ed. Anecdotally, I've heard the RW series use different woods, which would back up my experience of lighter, more resonant woods. I'm pretty sure the RW might have had deeper contours too, however I've only compared the P basses, and this was a few years back. What I'm trying to get at, is whether you'll find what you are looking for in a Classic 60's that you didn't find in the RW. [/quote] It's a crapshoot really, I had a Classic 50s and Road Worn Precision in the house at the same time. The RW was indeed lighter, but the Classic 50s was something special. The most resonant P I've ever tried, it just sang, and the RW felt dull and lifeless.

The average guy wouldn't be able to pronounce it either.

Dunlop have a mini wah out now, as do AMT... but if you want mini wah + mini volume in one unit, this is the only one I know of but it's not widely available yet: [url="http://www.hotoneaudio.com/products/press/Volume_Expression_Wah_Wah_Pedal/127.html"]http://www.hotoneaud..._Pedal/127.html[/url]

Ah, the Comedy. The only gig I did where not only were the originals bands not paid (which is fairly common) but were told (just before going on stage) that we had to pay £5 per amp if we wanted to use the back line we were told would be provided for us. How we laughed!

No idea if they're any good but there's also http://www.partysounds.co.uk and http://www.musofinder.com.

I recommend avoiding the Dunlop one, which I bought as it was the only one I could find that had a right angled tip. It's noisy as hell and I've heard of at least one other person with the same issue. This should do the trick: http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/18v-dc-regulated-power-supply-7-p.asp
