I didn't realise the 414 had a slimmer neck - I love the neck on my 415, hope the 1025 I'm looking to get one day is the same dimensions!

Should be able to pick up a used Catalinbread SFT for £100 or under!

I have done once and didn't have a problem, although I was sensible with the volume knob. I have the second cab now that I'm playing with my old band temporarily again until they find a new bassist - hoping to get a chance to use the full rig soon!

I prefer wah into fuzz myself, it's a totally different sound to wah after fuzz, so use whatever sounds best to you. Also, just becuase the wah is the rightmost pedal doesn't mean it has to be first in the signal chain - if you have long enough patch leads you can wire them up however you like! I have George L cables so I can customise the length - my signal chain goes all over the place so that I have my most used pedals in the front row.

Sounds like the issue you're having is when you send a bass heavy signal into the pedal it overloads it, making it sound bad? I had the same issue with the Supercollider and Pickle Pie B in conjunction with my high output BB415. Those pedals would sound great with my Precision but didn't respond well to hot signals, which is one of the major reasons I've stuck with the EHX BBM. I did try the Tall Font Russian as a smaller alternative, it takes hot signals almost as well as the BBM but I hated the blend on it (it's available with a built in blend like the Pickle Pie), it sounded like it was out of phase. The Tarkin has got my attention!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1374337063' post='2147785']i would always put the octaver first to get as cleaner octave as possible. [/quote] If you put the octave first, your octave is going into the distortion, making it dirty! If you put it after it will stay clean!

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1374323509' post='2147556'] This is madness. Everyone knows it goes octaver, dirt, filter ! simples !! [/quote] My order is the exact reverse! Except I no longer possess the octaver.

Everywhere! Most put octave before fuzz, but I prefer it after so you have a clean sub octave under the fuzz. Many like their filters after dirt, this makes it sound more pronounced and synthy. I prefer filter before dirt as it sounds less like a techno synthesizer and more like a growling guitar wah. Experiment and see what you prefer!

The Moog definitely works well with the Xerograph - it didn't work with the Zoom B2 though!

Team Awesome Fuzz Machine! Great for squelchy vintage sounding fuzz with bags of low end. Can also do raspy gated synthy fuzz too, but I use mine at mellower settings. Not really a Tonebender but might sound close to what you're looking for - if you post a youtube clip of any particular sound you're after that would help.

Had to turn up the volume to max to hear it though - then 10 minutes later played some metal and got blasted in the face. Think my tweeters/ears are still ok!

Chrome on the PC desktop is fine for me, but it is a bit iffy in the Android version. I'm not sure if it's the Swype keyboard which does misbehave in some text boxes, but sometimes the cursor moves up on that and I end up typing in the middle of a previous sentence!

Gus and Fender?

Names plastered all over the pickup covers looks tacky though.

I would have a cheeky beer after the gig - what are they gonna do, throw you off? Obviously don't get wasted and start touching up the captain's wife. Talk to the others on board first to gauge the situation to work out whether or not the rules are there to be bent! I worked behind a bar once many years ago and my contract said something similar, but my boss always let me have a free pint at the end of a long shift.

For me, the 5-string P's look too wide at the nut (why I opted for a Yamaha BB over a Fender P5) - so interested to read the specs when they show up on the Squier website. The 5 string PJ Jag could be a winner if the neck is a bit slimmer. No GAS for the fretless P here as I hate the ebanol boards - much prefer the feel of real wood!

Anodized gold (50s classic) is my fave with sunburst:

You can set up the Sonuus Wahoo to apply a pitch tracking filter sweep, although I'm not sure that would sound anything like the sound you are describing!

+1 on the Protection Racket case, mine cost £50 and combines the convenience of a gig bag with the protection of a hard case.

The thread title sounds like a Daft Punk tribute! Don't know if's been used, but I thought Followed Zeppelin would be a good one.
