Pinball

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1390308092' post='2343773'] I would use this order: wah, compressor, distortion, chorus, delay only cos I like to have option of untamed and tamed wah, and because compression works well in front of dirt pedals to keep it focussed. modulation stuff is usually best last in chain, because using wah or distortion on an already modulated signal can get a bit messy. however, if there are any rules, they're there to be broken....so I say juggle your set up and find what works best for you. [/quote] Thanks, that kind of fits with my ideal set up as I'm right footed so having the Wah on the right feels natural. All my pedals are true bypass (I forgot I also intend to get a tuner in there too). I'm still waiting for a couple in the post

Setting up a pedal board with Wah, distortion, Flashback 4x, chorus. Where do I put the compression? At the moment I'm thinking last but have yet to try it.

Thanks, I ordered some heavy duty. I'm going to re-do the board rather than mess around

Lots of people seen to use WD 40 on electrics and there are three problems with it. 1. if its some thank that heats up you have trouble 2. over time it gets thick and gunky 3. It seems to attract dirt and dust so in the longer term is a bad move Its a short term or emergency solution at best I know this from working on pinballs I would advise trying a foaming electrical cleaner to get it thoroughly clean. If that doesn't work just change the switch

Hi a bit of a strange one this. I have a Gator "The Bone" pedalboard. It appears set up for velcro but none of the velcro I currently have seems to stick to it. Can anyone advise me to the stuff that I need and where to get it?

Keep an eye on this John, It was advertised on this forum and £15 postage it may fall into your budget. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281243039905?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

[quote name='patrikmarky' timestamp='1389466586' post='2334495'] Gigs this bass last night...decided to keep...think this is a very understated bass...it may be a bit to "metal" for some folks...I've had most basses from stingrays ,Warwicks,spectors,shuker,sandberg,mayones and more..and this competes well..maybe I need to join a metal band... [/quote] A good move I think. They are great basses and are not just for metal or ready rock. I'm love Schecters and have had a number of leads and a Stiletto Custom bass. I currently have a Ultra custom lead guitar. The materials, parts and build quality are good across their whole range-unlike a number of similar brands. They are marketed and the young metal market, which has proved very successful as they shift a lot of units. This is reinforced by the fact that most models are 35 inch scale and armed with EMG's. My experience is that they don't produce rubbish and that their production standards are consistently high, subject to the price of the instrument of course.

I bought some leads that were exactly as described. A very fast and easy to deal with good communication, in fact so fast that I hadn't got around to telling my other half that the leads had been posted and she looked a little disappointed when she found out what was in the package. I can't think why. Highly recommended Thanks

Congratulations. After having tried one I have a BB1025x on my hot list once I get some cash together

Personally I have found that thru body stringing and thru neck construction makes little difference on basses. If there is a difference it is very marginal. I have noticed a marked difference in lead guitars though in terms of sustain-especially with thru neck. No idea why that should be but that is my experience.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1388864678' post='2327147'] It's a moot point really, given the fact that everyone who goes into space has to wear a nappy. 'In space, no-one can hear you crap yourself.' [/quote] Or smell it either, a plus point. Although it ruins the point of breaking wind.

Just thinking I wouldn't need worry about the weight of my amp and cabs....but then again I wouldn't hear them either...damn damn damn!

If I was looking for a 4 stringer I would have this. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/225234-fender-american-special-precision-bass-2010-l450/page__fromsearch__1

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1388581580' post='2323570'] I've got an Ibanez Electro-acoustic, and it's way louder than any unplugged Electric I often rehearse along with a cd or MP3 player, and I'd never hear my unplugged bass guitars The Ibanez though, is plenty loud When I'm jamming along with acoustic guitarists in the house it really depends on which guitarists I'm jamming with Some pals play rather heavier, but one pal who does far more finger picking, and plays much quieter - in which case I can hear my Ibanez fine [/quote] That sounds about right. I had a crafter that I would pick it up and noodle but its bulkier and not as nice to hold as an electric and it wasn't loud enough to play in a band situation without an amp. I played one of the Zenith Semi. I think they look great but I didn't like the feel of it. The body felt heavy and was heavily lacquered so that it felt more like composite material than mahogany. I love the vibe but the final straw for me was that you got a slightly different tone from an open string when compared to fretting. Again you would need an amp.
