Just bought a Sansamp from this fella, paid up and it was posted first thing next morning by Special Delivery, luvverly jubberly.

I can't beleive you've got these in stock already - I'm sure I read a Line 6 rep on a Talkbass thread only a few days ago confirming the rumour of it's existence but unable to give out any details. Plus it's not even listed on their website yet!

Just got my Proton in from Bass Direct as Spencer and Tone Factor are out of stock. Have a Xerograph Deluxe incoming also! Currently using a Freaker wah into a fuzz which sounds absolutely filthy, the Proton can't really pull off the same trick but it's still a great filter.

Multi-FX are good for some effects but not so great for overdrive/distortion/fuzz in my experience, which are the bread and butter of my effects. You'll see that plenty of gigging bassists in your genre will use a Sansamp Bass Driver DI to add a bit of grit to their sound and to send an amp-like sound to the PA. Kind of an industry standard gigging and recording tool, definitely worth thinking about trying one out, as well as their VT Bass pedal. Any idea what kind of effects you would find a use for? I use a low gain overdrive to boost when the guitars get louder and a Bass Big Muff to add to that when things get really heavy. Then a chorus or phaser is useful for slow passages, and you can also work in filters and octavers if used subtly in the right place.

Good, just checking - I bought a used set on here a while back and have yet to fit them!

It's not just neodymium, China has a monopoly on many rare earth materials that we depend on: [url="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/8385189/Rare-earths-why-China-is-cutting-exports-crucial-to-Western-technologies.html"]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/8385189...chnologies.html[/url]

While we're on the topic, do the 760FL set have red silks?

I should really give it a go and pick up one of those voltage pumps[/quote] Diago have them for sale even if their website says otherwise. I got an isolation adapter for the Freaker wah too, all running from the Johnnyshredfreak! Both adaptors come with right angled tips now too.

Tried the SFT at 18v yet Ste? It's my OD of choice right now, the BB is looking on in jealousy.

Here's the circuit: [url="http://www.muzique.com/lab/pickups.htm"]http://www.muzique.com/lab/pickups.htm[/url] Max at SFX does custom work, might be worth asking him?

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1176007' date='Mar 25 2011, 03:03 PM']Is there any secret to using the Muff alongside an Overdrive pedal? My ODB3 has a selector for distortion, but it very quickly turns to muck.[/quote] Run an overdrive / boost into a Bass Big Muff set to dry mode and you get a super heavy yet defined distortion. You have to mod the BBM with an extra volume control to make the dry mode useable though!

Even worse still, you can only view it when logged in as Yorick. How about attaching the pic here or via imageshack?

Can't go wrong with one of these: [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...;products_id=12[/url] [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=248"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...products_id=248[/url] [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=17"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...;products_id=17[/url] The brick fits under a PT Junior, or in the slot of a PT Mini, probably a Nano but I've not tried!
