[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1490907878' post='3269036'] Everyday is a school day! How many switch positions does it have? I'm sure it could be put 'right' easily enough. [/quote] It has 5 positions 1- bridge pickup in series 2-bridge pickup back single coil and neck pickup front coil in series 3- both humbuckers in parallel 4-bridge pick front coil and neck pick back coil in series 5- neck pickup in series. I just want to be able to switch them to parallel as per the modern versions 😁

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1490900955' post='3268976'] Isn't the fully rewards position H parallel? Or has it been tinkered with. [/quote] NO mines a 2006 model which is all wired in Series! EB changed it to parallel in 2008,when they introduced the Sterling 5, so musicman must have thought it needed tinkering with 😉😁 it was to differentiate the two models I think! It sounds great,but I want the parallel setting as well.

Definitely! Spend a little bit more and get OBBM 😁

Cheers Mcnach! I'm actually going to get a pro to do it! I have an old Ray 5HH which is series wired (as per the Sterling) it sounds fantastic and really punches through a band mix,however I miss the parallel setting I had on my old sterling and want that option too.i wouldn't try and do something like that myself 😁 I'm also thinking of adding the East MM 3 band at the same time.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1490864986' post='3268564'] Well everyone wants to tell me that the SUB is EXACTLY the same regarding the electronics, if you can get to the connections on a SUB but not on a Ray then they must be different after all? [/quote] So does this mean it'll be difficult to put a series/parallel push pull on my Ray then?

I'm considering getting a series/parallel fitted to my series wired Ray 5HH anyone know if this would be doable? It certainly would give a great palette of sounds 😁

He played on an album for Randy Crawford too! My dream gig. Oh and he played for Right said Fred! A great player 😁

[quote] Didn't realise until I played it yesterday that one of gtr riffs from John McL on "Right Off" was later used as basis for "You're Under Arrest". b [/quote] I wore that album (you're Under Arrest) out in my youth!! Loved Darryl Jones's playing on it 😁

Does anyone know if the Cog 66 mini does a similar job at low settings?

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1490552092' post='3265911'] Definitely, it would be like upgrading your dinner from pedigree chum to fillet steak! [/quote] Lol cool!!😁

I've been thinking of getting the VT bass DI for low gain OD with a clean blend and EQ to replace the soul food. Would that be something worth considering?

The EHX soul food has the clean blend and low gain drive. I'm happy enough with mine,but I'm still looking for something that does the same thing only better 😁

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1490101056' post='3262144'] [color=#1D2129]Swapped a couple of bits around on my main board. Swapped the tuner and Chorus around so I could have modulation after Octave. More significantly I swapped out my COG Knightfall for a COG custom gated Tarkin fuzz. Lovely stuff:[/color] [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/10ndijm.jpg[/IMG] [color=#1D2129]Chain is: DIY bypass looper -> Boss TU-3W -> Mooer Tender Octaver -> COG custom Tarkin -> MXR BEF -> Boss OC-2 -> MXR Bass Chorus -> DIY Bypass looper.[/color] [color=#1D2129]Powered by Diago with help from The Gigrig to isolate the digital Mooer[/color] [color=#1D2129]Si[/color] [/quote] Oh god!! I love that fuzz!!! Is it similar to a mastatron/wooley Mammoth?

Oh my I've been after one for ages! That burgundy one looks amazing but out of stock😔 Heistercamp leather straps are made in Devon and their stuff looks amazing! Perhaps we should petition them to make gig bags too 😊

I love Octavers and my favourite is still the OC2 I used one for many years until it was stolen. I then tried the EBS which I loved, it's very clean and smooth with a great sub tone and tracks brilliantly! Not a very synthy sound though. I then had an OC3 which was ok but just didn't sound as good as the OC2,it did track well though. I then got the Aguilar which just has a fantastic tone and tons of variation, I loved it. I did find it didn't track as well as the Ebs ,it's a big pedal too. I went back to an OC2 and instantly went "there's my sound again" as I primarily use octaves to emulate synth, I then very foolishly traded the OC2 😖 I currently have an EBS and is forgotten how good it is,very deep and smooth,I was about to buy another OC2 to compliment the Ebs when Simon's excellent video persuaded me to buy a COG T16! It's now my favourite octave. Absolutely great tone and very versatile with the filter (it sounds amazing with my wonderlove) it tracks really well,gets very close to an OC2 tone and it's TINY!!!!! I'm now considering a custom cog T47 now as i love it. Settled on the cog and Ebs for the mo but I still plan to get another OC2 as every bassist should have one 😁 I've never tried the MXR or 3 leaf but they are on my list to try,I've read that the MXR is very gritty and aggressive,so that would sound great in certain situations,the 3 leaf sounds amazing on demos but it's sooo expensive. Anyway good luck with the search,Probably best to buy all of them 😂
