    You might even find the LB30 to be loud enough for gigging with two of those cabs! Going 4 ohms will squeeze a bit more power from the Trace. Swapping an 8ohm 2x12 for a 4ohm 2x12 would only give you a very small increase in output... but adding another 8ohm cab as discussed WILL give a big volume bump, because as well as having extra power from the amp, you are doubling the surface area of the cones.

    Combining what's been on my board for ages now with a few choice upgrades:[list] [*][b]Polytune[/b] (need - currently got a Pitchblack) [*][b]G-Lab Wowee Bass Wa[/b]h (need) [*][b]Team Awesome Fuzz Machine[/b] (got) [*][b]Catalinbread SFT / Solidgold FX Beta[/b] (got - undecided which I like best, maybe use both ) [*][b]COG Grand Tarkin[/b] (need - currently using a BBM) [*][b]Boss ODB-3[/b] (got - not got the greatest rep, but all the haters have obviously never tried it with a BB or Stingray into a valve amp and sealed cab ) [*][b]Earthquaker Devices Speaker Cranker[/b] (got - nice dirty boost, replaced my Phat Phuk B ) [*][b]MXR Carbon Copy[/b] (got - just used for oscillation , so could substitute with a Malekko delay or something else wild sounding) [*][b]Blackout Effectors Whetstone Phaser[/b] (need - to replace my Small Stone) [/list] Oh, and a VT Bass if I have to go direct!

    If anyone on here asks about wiring harnesses for Precision / Jazz basses, there is usually just one answer. KiOgon! I bought this from forum member KiOgon last year, tested it out for a bit then put it away again. So hardly used, and since it has solderless connections, it hasn't been messed about with and is a doddle to fit. This one features KiOgon's take on Fender's Greasebucket tone control, as found on the new American Special basses. Basically, a standard tone control ends up boosting the bass and low mids as you roll off the top end; this circuit rolls of the highs without affecting the lows. This way you can tame some of the shrill top end without it sounding too muddy. [s]£20 posted[/s][color=#ff0000][b] SOLD[/b][/color]

    From what I hear they're all rather old school when it comes to this sort of thing, best to give them a ring!

    Yeah, picked it up in their 21% off sale last weekend! Only ended up costing me £90 delivered. And Sibob already has first dibs - I was about to sell it to him before changing my mind! I'm looking out for a Heil PR-40 mic, if/when I get one I shall record some clips.

    I finally got mine. The verdict, comparing it to the first version SFT which is it's nearest competitor: - The Beta has deeper lows and a slight built in bass boost that you can't dial out. This makes even the G string on my P-Bass thump, which it hasn't done before even with the SFT. - The Beta can take hot basses without farting out no problem. The SFT needs (IMHO) to be run at 18V to give it a bit more headroom, but the Beta is happy at 9V. - Running the Beta at 18V doesn't change the volume or tone very much, I thought it did increase the clarity though in the upper mids / treble. - The Beta still keeps it lows and is useable at high gain settings, where the SFT turns to mush. - The SFT has a lot more midrange presence, the Beta sounds a bit scooped in comparison. Overall I think I prefer the SFT, but after playing the Beta again today I'm undecided, it depends on the amp/bass/desired tone which I prefer at any particular moment!

    Bump!

    They do more than Jazz basses too: For those prices, I assume they are just hand assembling off the shelf parts rather than crafting the bodies and necks themselves.
  9. dannybuoy
    If it's that punk style played with a pick you're after, the VT is a great choice.

    Did you catch sight of this one in the classifieds? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232491-sandberg-vm-custom-zebrano [Img]http://www.bridgeworksuk.com/basschat/VM01.jpg" class="ipsImage" />

    Vintage style germanium fuzz with modern tweaks. Adjust the bias and input impedance to suit your bass and tone, works great with actives as well. No low end loss if set correctly, sounds best at low gain like a thick furry overdriven amp pushed to the limit. You don't see these about very often these days, and this is the original version before the builder started putting them in bigger boxes as he was having a hard time squeezing everything in! Cutting back on my pedal collection, and sticking with my TAFM for my fuzz requirements. Great condition, velcro on the bottom, comes with original box. £75 posted - NOW SOLD [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/n2Rh8nH.jpg[/IMG]

    The tiniest bass wah there is! The size of a standard Boss pedal, yet surprisingly easy to manage. Great for those of you with limited pedal board space. True bypass too! I am however stripping my effects right back to a handful of pedals, board space is no longer an issue and I fancy a G-Lab wah, so this one is up for grabs! Very little use, looks like new, comes with original box. SOLD

    This is the most versatile wah / envelope filter on the planet. So many options, however I find I just stick to my favourite wah preset so am looking to go simpler with a G-Lab Wowee wah instead. This has two filters in parallel, with a clean blend and built in drive circuit, all analogue but with digital control, presets and software interface for PC/Mac. For example you can set one filter up as a bandpass wah and the other one as a fixed lowpass filter to mix in the low end. It has some unique features as well such as being able to open the filter automatically the higher the note you play, or have it triggered when you bend a note. Very little use, never gigged, no velcro, mint condition with box.

    These are so good I'm tempted to buy it even though I already have one!

    I had a BB415 and note have a BB1025X. The P pickups on the BB's are fatter and darker than what you'd find on a Precision. I preferred the brighter sound of a real Precision pickup to the ceramic one in the 4 series, but the alnico one in the 10 series sounds amazing, definitely worth the upgrade. To answer your question though, what kind of sound are after? Precisions can cop a lot of tones, from rounds played with a pick with the tone control all the way up, to fingerstyle with flats with the tone rolled off. If it were me, I would try and find a way keep both! The P strung with flats for the real deal vintage P sound, and the BB with rounds for its awesome rock growl when both pickups are on!

    The sound I just got playing my BB into an SFT into my Ashdown CTM15 just ten minutes ago.

    I contacted Prymaxe about the shipping and they have reinstated the lower price shipping option! $15 and takes around 5 days, bargain. I bought a couple of pedals from them when they were doing 21% off everything last weekend. Top tip - the discount codes don't apply to all brands because some makers enforce minimum selling prices. However, if you use the live chat and talk to the staff they might give you an alternative code to use!

    Original review thread with clips! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/38642-earthbound-audio-supercollider-oscillating-beast

    Nice review - try and get the FuzzMo in next!

    Went in the post today for you - sod's law dictates the postie will try to deliver it while you are out picking up the other one! I think the American has decent low end retention, but as mentioned above, the low EQ is centred a bit higher than most bass specific pedals, so if you boost it you could end up with a bit too much 200Hz mush. I've not tried the other Joyos, but I'm already a happy chappy with the VT Bass.

    Is the British not a Marshall emulator like the Tech 21 British?
  22. dannybuoy
    I'll take it if the chap above doesn't!

    Zoom MS-70CDR, bought new from eBay only a few days ago. I bought this as I really wanted to try shimmer/particle reverb on bass, and whilst it does sound lovely, I've got it out of my system now and it's not something I'd really use, so off it goes to fund other toys! There's some great bass dedicated chorus/flanger/detune/EQ models and also some reverb models can filter out the lows from the wet signal, just what you need on bass! Absolutely mint, only used a couple of times. £70 posted [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/ms-70cdr"]http://www.zoom.co.j...oducts/ms-70cdr[/url] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HjxWlD0.jpg[/IMG] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1X65agvv98[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Dgsz-1t30[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJJ5b2Zrmbc[/media]

    Both sold pending payment!!!

    Just gave it a test - the problem with the volume is that it comes before the preamp instead of after. Rolling off the volume also affects the tone, definitely rolls off a bit of treble.
