Scream for me Basschat..........

I'm on a bit of a search for a good overdrive sound too and have tried the tech21 BDDI and it's a really good piece of gear. Haven't tried the VT version though. Having said that I'm currently trying a behringer BDi21 and if you don't wana spend a lot of money it's hard to go past what this does. It is not as plush and doesn't get as fuzzy as the tech 21 but for 25 quid it's hard to complain. The zoom B3 isn't really that difficult to work with, I'm not great with multi effects but if you just pick your effects In a row it behaves like three separate boxes. I'm sure this gear will have critics too but it's what works for you on your budget is what's important. One players nirvana is another's piece of garbage.

Makes me wonder why we spend thousands on basses and gear when a bloke like Steve can rule the world with the same P bass for over thirty years. I played my own p bass for the first in a while yesterday after reading the OP a few days ago. It's for sale on here but I have to admit that there is nothing quite like the sound of a good P bass plucked. Interesting that I have never had the logo worn problem that my favourite bassist has, but then again I'm not playing to 80,000 at twickenham on a night out. But. Just proves how rubbish I really am compared to the likes of him. Long live King 'arry

That's gorgeous.....

Was it not Terry's bass?

It's worn off.... I saw a pic of him a while ago somewhere and it was in the process of wearing off, it seems as if now it's gone. Maybe this is it, maybe it's not ? I dunno.
