  1. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and many Tarantino films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill spring to mind. They are more like song compilations though, for some that are almost entirely composed of original music I can think of Blade Runner and Tron Legacy.
  2. @basshead56 I have a EHX B9 in my to-sell pile!
  3. Not tried one but it does indeed look great, especially if the OP is into the VT Bass. Latest version has a cab sim on board too!
  4. Identical except for the EQ. The fact the Two Notes drive channel is more that flavour is why I didn't think it was the best fit. Then again plenty insist their B7Ks are great for Motown, but then we're back to soup and forks again!
  5. One thing about the Aguilar - I only ever use it with the AGS on, effectively as an overdrive that sounds a bit like your SFT. With the AGS off, it's a very transparent preamp with no grit whatsoever. The other two will probably do a better job of 'cleanish sound with vintage colouring' if you're intending to use a separate overdrive pedal.
  6. Dunno if you're referring to me but I only mentioned the B7K not working well with my P. I liked the Le Bass with my BB's P pickup very much indeed!
  7. Whatever you go for, I would say you want something that can do a mild warm wooly/squishy/tubey overdrive with a decent EQ and no inherent baked in mid-scoop. I would definitely check the Mesa out, your won't see a ton of recommendations for it just because not that many people own one compared to some of the other units out there. But Bobby Vega makes it sound great here:
  8. I suppose I could make a Le Bass or dUg or Darkglass work for old school funk... I could also eat soup with a fork, but there are better options out there!
  9. @Al Krow Change the drop-down category option under emojjis to 'default' and you will get some extra ones...
  10. I wouldn't focus on radius at all, that second video looks like a 70s Jazz and they had a 7.25" radius! From my own experience a curvy board is only a problem when it is also wide and the board edges are sharp. I didn't get on with the Classic 50s Precision neck for this reason as I found the board on the G side cutting into my finger when reaching for the low F note, but found the same radius on a slim necked Musicman Caprice to be uber comfortable.
  11. I have a Le Bass, but it's not well suited for old school funk / RnB IMHO. Channel A is too clean, channel B too grindy and aggressive. I was never a Darkglass fan either until I tried my Yamaha BB with both pickups on into a B7K mixed with heavy guitars, then it all clicked into place. Made it fit into the mix like a key into a lock. But it sounds crap with a P bass, especially one with flats, so probably the last pedal I would consider here!
  12. I always thought Mighty Mite were cheaper, Allparts more expensive but generally worth the extra. Never played either mind, but that's what I'd gathered over years of forum lurking.

    Best ABY?

    Aha! This one then! http://www.radialeng.com/r2011/bigshotio.php

    Are you using it to go to two amps? If so, apparently a transformer isolated output is the way to go to prevent ground loops, which only some of the more expensive pedals have, like the Radial Twin City. But I've not seen one with level controls other then the one you posted. A Boss LS-2 may be able to be put into action as well depending on how you're planning to use it.
  15. Tonehammer or VT Bass then! Although the Mesa looks a fine choice also, I've only had a brief play through the head but it sounded great.
  16. What kind of sound do you go for? I wouldn't necessarily recommend the same unit for playing blues with a P and flats as I would for playing metal with a Jazz and rounds (although the VT is an exception that suits either!).
  17. Looks like nobody has it in stock over here, but Thomann do if anybody’s looking to get one.
  18. What does AO stand for? Sounds like you are getting confused with the Alpha Omega!
  19. No, that's what I assumed when vouchers were mentioned, but it appears it's more along the line of "Merry Christmas, have some Guitar Guitar vouchers" as sold here! https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/giftcards/
  20. I didn't know they did vouchers, I just assumed you either returned something and they gave you store credit in return, or even worse, cancelled a pre-order! I hate vouchers. Give me pound notes instead!
  21. WTF?! Someone flush a baby down the toilet?
  22. Hard knee or soft knee?
  23. Think of 'send' and 'return' as 'preamp output' and 'power amp input'. They are labelled that way in fact on the Darkglass head! So you can use send as a DI out (as I have done into my PJB Bighead which doesn't have an XLR input) and the return socket to bypass the amp's preamp. If your amp is pretty flat / clean / hifi then I say it's probably best to go in the front end so that you can adjust stage EQ without messing with the signal going to FOH.
  24. Definitely an option, see the various FRFR (full range, flat response) threads on here at the moment and you'll see it's all the rage right now. The major boon is being able to get the exact same sound on stage, to the PA, or to in-ear monitors.
  25. Why? Did you place the order for the Pork 'n' Pickle cash and they'll only offer credit if you cancel the (delayed) order? In any case I'd make a fuss about getting a proper refund so you can shop where you like!
