BassJase

I used to go out with a girl in Leicester, is the shed still open and smelling like a public toilet? And I used to go watch live jazz bands on a sunday afternoon in the theatre cafe, aaaahh happy days.....

Top banana bloke, flogged him a fretless 5-er and he paid instantly and was generally a reat dude all round. Cheers brudda! And enjoy the fretless. }

Well here's my new 'board, it looks pretty tame to a few of the ones on here but it pretty much does all I want it to. I might add an Octave pedal instead of using the BassSynthWah for that, and it means I can get shot of the Behringer multi (even tough its actually pretty ok for what it is.

I used one and it was pretty good for the money, but for that money you're much better off looking for one of the Ibanez bass-synth Tone-lok pedals. They got for anything around £25-£40 mark, and sound soooooooooo much better mate.

Cheers for the help and advice mate, and yeah I made sure it was in the right input socket. I've scanned the internet and apparently there are a few batches with niggles and i'm guessing that this is just one of those unfortunately. I'm gonna drop it off to a tech as soon as I can find one who might be able to help me out, and find out whats the best course of advice what to do next. I really don't hope I have to bin it, but what will be will be....

I plugged it into a mains 9v power supply and it made a crackle then smoke came out of it and it stank the room out. I'd nevere tried it mains before, just usually used the battery, but I wanted to put it on my pedal board and use a powerbank. Before I plugged it in I checked the polarity and stuff and it seemed fine to use, but apparently not. I've just now read the tech gumf more thoroughly, and the adaptor says "AC adaptor. Output DC 9.0v, 300mA." But the back of the Peterson says "9v nom. 7-12VDC@85mA Max." Just wondering if anyone has any idea whats the next course of action for it, i.e pay for it to be fixed (if its at all fixable) or bin it and buy another pedal tuner. Any help/advice/sympathy would be much appreciated..... Cheers y'all.

Whereabouts are you all based matey? And any further info on the band/gigs would be great if you could.... Cheers!

I quite like Hartke bass amps, but never enough to really buy one. I was initially interested in the new LH500 but it does 500w at 4ohms, and i'm a 2ohm guy. My first rig (bloody hell, 15 years ago!!) was a Peavey Mk VI with a massive 1810 cab, and it was the absolute monkeys chuff. I now own a Peavey T-Maxx and love it to bits, probably the most versatile sounding amp i've ever tried. Shame it weighs as much as a bloody estate car though.....! But yeah, I say Peavey every time. They last forever, sound great for the price, and you can pick up a Tour 450, a Firebass or Session bass head for about £250 these days, absolute bargains.

I've just recently got a Peterson Strobostomp doo-dah, and yeah its all-singing all-dancing, but in all honesty I don't really like it. I can't get used to the up/down lines instead of side to side, and it actually seems a bit too fiddly for my savage bass playing needs. I'm gonna give it some time though and see how I get on with it, but if not then i'm gonna buy one of them Pitchblack+ tuners, I saw one a few weeks ago at a gig and thought it was knightrider-tastic.

I've just ordered one of the Stagg pedalboard/hardcase thingy, and for £30 it looks pretty ideal for my needs. A bit too much "lip" at the edges, but for that money its all good in the hood.

I just thought i'd ask those with far more knowledge about such things than I, rather than trawl the interweb and more than likely get it wrong. I've just put together my new pedalboard which comprises of a Peterson stomp tuner, a Sansamp Bass driver deluxe, and three Digitech pedals.(Chorus, Overdrive and BSW.) I just want to know whats the right power supply to be buying thats gonna last me and won't make any hum or general unwanted noise? Is the Diago powerstation the only choice? I might possibly add another pedal or two over the course of time, maybe a seperate octaver or delay, but nothing too fancy or boutique. The money's not really an issue, but obviously i'd rather not be spending £70 on something when something else that costs less will do. Cheers y'all!
