Not surprised they wouldn't let you in with that, looks like it could be used as a weapon!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1439206339' post='2840762']for instance, scratch DJing has evolved into something called turntablism, which is quite exciting to watch/listen to, albeit in small doses - example here: [/quote] Not really been into it since the late 90s / early 00s when DJ Craze was the world champ so not sure who the top guys are these days... But check this guy out! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue1sgGEvkwE[/media] One of the few out there that can maintain the rhythm in time whilst beat juggling!

[quote name='Patchbass' timestamp='1438867674' post='2838226'] im wondering if the w&c phat Phuk B will get me there? [/quote] In a word, no!

VT Bass, Aguilar Agro, Darkglass B*K

It's not really a DAW, but worth mentioning StaffPad here as a composition tool: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_PgKyqE3RU[/media]

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1438786382' post='2837313'] Surely a bass Uke with steel strings would never work because the scale length would be too short. Wouldn't you need utterly ludicrously high gauge strings to get anything like a reasonable tension? [/quote] Not quite steel, but these are copper wound on a silk core: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JzF-5k0pog[/media] They also do tapewounds I believe.

Kala killer? http://ortegaguitars.com/en/product-finder/acoustic-basses/acoustic-bass/show/Product/pm-shaman/pm-shaman/ http://www.thomann.de/gb/ortega_pmsm_ltd.htm Looks great, has the Pahoehoe strings which I prefer to the Thunderguts, a bit longer than a U-Bass too.

I doubt metal strings would help much - you'll either need a bigger bass like the Aquila Shortbass One, or an amp. Here's the Shortbass One unamplified with some ukes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC2tEIFBS5U

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1438780476' post='2837202'] [url="http://redbearlab.com/blendmicro/"]This[/url] is a tiny cheap blend pedal that you might find useful. [/quote]

Very tempted! Some great sounds in there, particularly bridge + middle and bridge + neck. Would love to whack a set of flats on one of these!

Yeah, there's an A/B/Y switch behind the wah splitting the signal, so one of those tuners is just an expensive mute pedal!

Why two tuners?!

I don't know of very many cheap ones that are usable on bass except for the EHX Bass Big Muff, Mooer Thunderball and Mooer Fog.

Not a massive hip-hop-head, but I do love a bit of J5 and Charlie Tuna!

... and when I've ordered pedals from them I've not liked, I've been able to return them for free as well, which is a great service. I assume the same would apply to a bass even though the shipping costs are much higher and Thomann would end up losing out? But perhaps in the end they win if more people buy their stuff from them as a result.

A box just for putting them in serial like the OBBM one above makes more sense - to hook them up in parallel just use the built in thru-jacks on the cab, or multiple outputs on the amp. Unless of course neither your amp nor cab have these!

I've always thought burgundy mist really suited an old Jazz bass.

The Blower Box is an awesome low-medium gain pedal. Not transparent though. Sounds terrible at high gain if you ask me!

They are the most recognised pedal brand, and for a while, their only 'bass overdrive' pedal was a nasty (in a good way) distortion pedal. So new bassists bought ODB3s in their droves looking for mild 'overdrive' only to be disappointed, then start researching their options to upgrade from their Boss pedal. So a lot of bassists now have a built-in dislike for Boss pedals. They've come out with the BB1-X now, but it's a bit crap, I sold mine after playing with it for only 5 minutes. Still have my ODB-3 though, not much can touch it for sheer brutality! They have some decent pedals, but many have drawbacks and aren't the top pick in their respective categories. I see them as mostly mediocre, with a few exceptions that are classics.

The metering is supposedly a multi-colour LED, similar to the Diamond Compressor. It's not as nice as a meter, but it's still very usable if implemented well!

The ultimate bass compressor? http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NEv-ont1Y-8J:www.mansons.co.uk/product/origin-effects-cali76-compact-bass-compressor-7147+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=
