  1. I was gigging with 8 i dont know what went wrong havnt looked i just pulled my lead out and went straight to the amp not ideal but it was ok. It taught me an important lesson triple check everything.
  2. Coolhiggie thats what i thought i will try your suggestion as well thanks.
  3. ok after last night and my whole pedal boardd going down im looking for a pedal that has a true bypass loop i can put all my effects in so if anything goes wrong i dont cut out. Ideally i want one that can also select between 2 instrument inputs. Anyone got an idea if such a thing exsists? I may email red onion see if they could make one
  4. it was immense we just won our heat of battle of the bands cant believe it really. my pedal board died and i had no bass for half the first song and i whacked my bass off the roof but it dosnt matter now.
  5. That is very very cool. No contols on top i like that.
  6. Well i feel the need to defend newer warwicks I have just got one. a 2005 i think and i cant see anything wrong with it at all construction wise and i have an alembic. The only thing i hate is the terrible just a nut design which is sharp and gets in the way a crude effort to copy alembics i think could be wrong tho. I have never played an older Warwick and maybe they sound better but i am talking from a build quality mine is hard to fault.
  7. I think i read somewhere that they jus use the same box. I have also read these are hand made they have a team of 10 i think which is cool. good luck
  8. Some people like to have compression at the end of the signal instead of at the start then you are not compressing your other effects but try it both ways and see what you like.
  9. My band will be playing in manchester at the above date. We need to pre sell a number of tickets to impress managment and the like so if you can come it would be great. there is a link to our myspace in my sig. thanks Andrew
  10. Why not take one of the wooden necks off one your other jazzes and try it and if you miss the graphite then keep it.
  11. [quote name='BassManKev' post='171919' date='Apr 7 2008, 11:22 PM']go for it, why the hell not? [/quote] +1 i dont think you can do any harm
  12. yeah i did take that into cosideration. i think it will be ok and its a good pedal so i will be able to move it on if it dosnt do wat i want.
  13. yeah but the warwick which is my main gigging bass has a passive switch. Is that why you say that cause the huckleberry reacts badly with actives? I dont no if i will like it or not but thought id give it a go.
  14. Did i hear that right John a P bass???? A FENDER??? are you feeling alright?
  15. cool thats what i wanted to hear thanks
  16. Ok ive only recently got a setup with valves in. I have an svp preamp into an ada power amp. I can get a really nice overdriven tone by making the peak/mute light come on. My question is am i damaging the preamp by doing this? Will i break the valves? i have read lots about getting an overdriven sound from a valve amp but if its ok to do then why is there the light? Sorry for the total newbie question.
  17. I like the idea a lot but it might be quite far for some maybe a bit far for me. If we were to do this i could offer quite a few things for people to try. On a side note people should bring their boards to the notts bash.
  18. Ok/distortion and fuzz im using in our set just now: tone factor mule, marshall guvnor reissue, boss hyper fuzz and EH big muff. Ive got incoming a mojo hand cream pie, a tone factor huckleberry and an ibanez metal pedal.
  19. I use a six in my band just now. because we tune down the c string allows me to jump to play some melody easily when i need to drop down low quick. Other than that why the hell not
  20. cheddatom definatley bring your board i would really like to hear that thing in action i wil bring mine as well should have quite a few nice things on there by then.
  21. So your good luck continues Kev. first the deep impact dies now the amp is playing up. Sorry mate no help here but good luck
