Can't go wrong with a wizard on a motorcycle:

Don't attach the pictures here, upload to a photo hosting site (I use imgur.com) and paste the links they provide!

[quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1406411626' post='2511366'] Anyone have any experience with this bad boy? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/amt_wh_1b_bass_wah_wah.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ass_wah_wah.htm[/url] Looks good but does it sound good? [/quote] I've had one. It's a good solution if you NEED a tiny wah for board space reasons, but ultimately there are better pedals out there if you can manage something larger. I found out of the 3 modes, the lowest one was great but maybe a bit too subby (watch your speakers!), the middle one no good, and the upper one just about right but could do with more lows mixed in. It also suffers from loud true bypass clicks. I'm using the G-Lab now and give it the thumbs up, never tried the Ibanez.

[/quote] The factory strings are Aquila Thunderguts as far as I know, they are renowned for being sticky. If you want a less sticky, warmer sounding string, try the Road Toad Toad Pahohoes.

John Davis also uses/used the WMD Fatman envelope filter. I used to have one and it's the best filter I've tried for really subby envelope 'womp!' noises.

Well, Timmy C used a 105Q on the RATM stuff, and the old Metallica stuff was one of the vintage Morley wahs which sounds very different to the current crop. The Ibanez Weeping Demon and G-Lab Wowee Bass Wah are contenders too.

[quote name='pitchard' timestamp='1405941511' post='2506681'] This is my current bass pedalboard, which features my usual bass pedals on the bottom row and my 'fake guitar' sound on the top, to emulate the Royal Blood tone. This is what it sounds like! [/quote] Awesome! Now I have pitch shifter GAS. Full rundown here: http://adamflanagan.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/royal-blood-out-of-the-black-bass-cover/

The Terror Bass only had a valve pre, so no problem turning up the gain and keeping the master down if you want dirt at low volume levels. The fan on it is noisy though, so I replaced mine with a silent computer fan.

There's a few Orange Terror Bass heads going pretty cheaply used on here, I would perhaps start there if looking to upgrade the amp and after a warm sound!

Cough up an extra fiver and get this, you won't regret it: http://www.thomann.de/gb/zoom_b1on.htm 100 fx (description says 75 but you get more when you update the firmware), tuner, looper, drum machine, aux in and headphone output!

Look for a used VT Bass... Or import a new one from Prymaxe for £93! Much better than the BDDI / BDI21 IMHO.

I also wanted to see some more samples of the faded orange - I like this one above, is it faded orange with crazy 70s?

Wow, that's cheaper than a Squier CV!

I'm thinking of getting a Gold Tone Micro bass: http://www.banjosdirect.co.uk/a-new-low-goldtone-microbass-x28m-bassx29-fretted-2083-p.asp But I could always be tempted by the Harley Benton at a third of the price!

You could be right there, you might just need to flip the bridge piece round and job done. Compared to the Kala it looks pretty straight (which will probably mean intonation isn't great on the fretted):

Not easy. You might be able to swap the nut around if the slots aren't sloping downwards towards the tuners, but the intonation will be out unless you reverse the fixed bridge, which is a piece of plastic fitted tightly into an angled slot in the wood.

WordPress sites auto update nowadays, it's just the plugins that need to be done manually. A little disconcerting as I no longer have a chance to backup before updating, but I haven't seen any issues yet. I made this for the wife's childminding business: http://goldilockschildminding.co.uk

I voted orange, but after looking at the pics I now prefer that seafoam green with the white plate and rosewood board.

2 to 5 days means they are not in stock so good luck! Tempted by the fretless myself...

Try the old "Bass is easier than guitar isn't it? I mean you've only got 4 strings."

Always wanted to try one, but went down the G-Lab route as I needed true bypass - I run it into a TAFM which sounds best with an unbuffered signal going in.

I've got a US Fender with the same 60th anniversary metal badge on the back of the headstock - it has different tuners to that one though!
