  1. The Visual Sound volume pedal has an active boost in it. Also, you can use a regular passive volume pedal like the Ernie Ball as an expression pedal if you have the right cable - stereo jack to two mono jacks.
  2. 'kinell, your board weighs more than my tube amp!
  3. I rewired the push button S1 switch on my Precision to bypass the volume/tone circuit. Sounds a lot brighter but also thinner to my ears, I never use it. When I can be bothered I'll either return it to stock or use that pot as the tone control with the switch selecting different caps.
  4. Never heard of this before, but the overdrive sounds pretty damn good: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeM6g4qOoK0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeM6g4qOoK0[/url]
  5. I had some on a Fender P5 that fit without any trouble.
  6. Yamaha BBs have great necks. My BB415 is a slim 42mm at the nut for comfort and 18mm spacing at the bridge.
  7. Looks like I will be hunting down a box weekend after this one if it doesn't shift by then!
  8. The J-Lo is neither huge, epic, nor brutal!
  9. Definitely. Remind me to never buy a bass from you!
  10. I've found no need to adjust mine. Treble at 10 o'clock, mids at noon, bass at 2 o'clock - set and forget, make small adjustments to bass/treble as necessary... I wouldn't mind if it just had those two eq controls!
  11. [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330734281' post='1562484']I picked up an old Tone Factor 442 Analogue Filter and that sounds awesome after fuzz![/quote] Why, yes it does! http://www.box.com/shared/qammyl0py7

    Not much at all, much quieter than the VT Bass anyway! I recommend ordering from ToneFactor.
  13. Doesn't it come with them stock? I remember the geezer on the YouTube video who reminds me of Super Hans saying it contains 4 KT88 toobs.
  14. Genz Benz Streamliner, TC Electronic RH450 / Classic 450 or Ampeg Micro VR / PF350 if you want a small lightweight head. These aren't full tube amps but are close enough in sound. Vintage or reissue Ampeg B15 if you can find one, afford one, and don't need to be loud! What amp do you have now? The pedal solution might be the easiest way to get there.
  15. That's a very warm barely overdriven sound, probably just coming from the amp rather than using an effect, There's plenty of options out there but you can definitely get that sound from a Catalinbread SFT: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_VjBTsx4gg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_VjBTsx4gg[/url]

    Just order it from Tonefactor in the US, it will be cheaper than anywhere you might happen to find it in the UK. I recommend you get an 18v adaptor for it too, I use a Diago 9-18v converter tip on my daisy chain.
  17. Not sure how I would pack it, the bulk of the hard case means l can't use a regular bass cardboard box, I wouldn't like to just whack a label on the case and send it as is. I'm happy to hang on for a while to see if anyone nearby wants it, if it doesn't go in a few weeks I'll look into postage options.
  18. Nice angry sound but not enough low end for my liking. Legend has it the XXL was designed as a guitar pedal, then they later relabelled it as the bass XXL when they found that bassists liked em then brought out a new lower gain version for guitar.
  19. Make it even more superber if you have a soldering iron: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/112212-bass-big-muff-volume-and-feedback-mods"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/112212-bass-big-muff-volume-and-feedback-mods[/url] Volume mod to make the dry mode usable without a huge volume boost, and feedback mod to make it sound even angrier.
  20. Get your string-to-string volume balance sorted first by adjusting the string and pickup heights. A compressor will help, but you want it as good as you can get it without one first.
  21. Yeah, I agree - BigSmokeBass is biassed as he's trying to sell an SR5! ;-)
  22. I picked this up a short while ago to try out, but am now moving it on again. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever, it looks, feels and sounds fantastic but I've come to realise I prefer passive basses and am currently lusting after a Yamaha BB1025X / BB2025X (for which I would do you a trade). It's in the same mint condition as it was when TommyK sold it on here, so I'll reuse his photos if he doesn't mind! Only very light swirling on the pickguard, no scratches or dings elsewhere - since I tried it out and decided it wasn't for me it has sat in the case ever since! Read his review of it here also: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/103822-sterling-by-musicman-ray-35/page__hl__ray35+review"]http://basschat.co.u...l__ray35+review[/url] It comes with a decent Hiscox Lifeflight hard case also. Price is £450 picked up from Croydon, or could meet anywhere in the London area. [b]Courier is now an option also![/b] [b]SOLD![/b]
  23. They are selling for that price on this forum. I know this, because I bought one for that price on this forum just a few days ago!
  24. No good would come of this, there would just be more spam on the forum and less things for sale.
  25. The offset ones are better than the totally straight ones. Half of my pedals don't have the jacks soldered to the board anyway, they're fine to use with those.
