An original mu-tron III went for $250 the other day. I was watching it and accidentally forgot to bid. DAMN!! So, that was cheap. In the US though...

Ddoesn't happen with me...just chill out I reckon. Concentrate on not pressing down so hard. I put my whole hand over the neck and use my thumb for the E string...maybe that helps.

Yeah I want one too!

Of course, you could just give me that mu-tron III (I could trade my Q-tron for it?) Go on.

The Adrenalinn looks very good, and pretty cheap too. More my cup o' tea aswell in pedal form. I'll check out these options in more detail - cheers!

There is a peavey on ebay at the moment for what looks like a good price. I also found this video which demonstrates what I am looking for (whilst searching for the freqbox, which I also need!) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWFwIK8ysg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWFwIK8ysg[/url] When I get the laptop hooked up to some decent speaker I'll check out your link. Thanks for that.

I've been looking for something particular. I got this description that shows what I want perfectly... 'Aside from other controls for altering sensitivity, envelope etc, noise gates can be used for other purposes like gluing a sloppy bass part to a kick drum, or gluing a sine wave oscillator to an 808 kick to generate deep bass. Noise gates can also be used as effects generators using the so-named side-chain feature. Instead of the threshold being set manually, this cunning feature ‘opens’ and ‘closes’ the gate automatically depending upon another audio signal that’s been patched into the side-chain input. If that audio signal is something like drum machine pattern (i.e. lots of short, dynamic bursts of signal) then that rhythm will be applied to the main audio track on which you are using the noise gate. In place of your acoustic guitar, let’s take a synth pad, or some backing vocal ‘Oohs.’ If you apply a noise gate with side-chain inputted drum beat on this type of sound - i.e. a smooth, sustained audio signal - it’ll turn it into a sort of groovy, stuttering effect in the exact same rhythm as the drum beat. In effect the drum beat will ‘play’ the synth or vocal. This effect is extremely infectious, creating instant danceability, instant feel, instant but non-intrusive movement, not the least because it is precisely in-time with the drum beat, and so, we hope, with the rest of your track.' Is there such a thing in a stompbox? Essentially a noise gate, with the 'side chain' feature? Could be interesting...Also something I've found called 'trigger gates' which you write in a sequence and it will gate what you play to that sequence, give it a rhythmic staccato vibe...but I've only seen plugin versions for logic and that - no stompbox things.

Phwoar!! And for £460 that is a hellof a lot of bass! It may look like a womans bass, but man will it have a masculine sound.

I love these old P basses. I REALLY love them. And I am interested to find out what P bass bits you have...

Me in the band for our school productio of return to the forbidden planet Why is this such a bad picture? I'm the one with the stingray.

'Lets work' by prince, or the break in 'Sir duke' by stevie wonder. Nice basslines!

Electro harmonix compressors I've found to be quite good. Especially the black finger (tube) compressor. Although the white finger is also excellent.

Although, there is a two year wait, and he's in the states. Im not really sure about getting a new neck, I kinda like the I've got. I want the bass to be the same bass, but without frets.
