I've been doing quite a bit of research into bridges over the past year & have discovered that they do 0 to change the amplified tone. Some may offer a bit more sustain (or should that be less sustain? ), but i replaced the Ibanez bridge with a cheap Vox bridge & there's no difference in sound, just looks & adjustability. I'd been toying with putting a Babicz or a Schaller bridge on as they both look cool as & have good adjustibility/stability, but I'll probably end up with a cheaper Gotoh at best.

Put a little oil based paint in your amp. Spiders hate the smell of paint. You don't have to paint your amp if you don't want to, just put some in a small container (bottle lid).

Ahh, a Meatbox. If you want a Meatbox sound, I think you might need to get an FX32.

Nope, but you've got me curious. I'm gonna have to go hear this Dod now. Without hearing it, my only suggestion is to turn the envelope amount & the resonance to 0 & put the cut off to @ 10 o'clock. Having the res above 2 reduces some of the lows that it can produce.

Either get the spec of the original drivers or measure the internal dimensions of the cab & then find a pair that match. Shouldn't be too hard to source a decent pair within budget.

On the LMII the centre frequency for each is as follows... Low 40hz ±16 db Mid Low 360hz ±16 db Mid High 800hz ±16 db High 5khz ±16 db The VPF does a 360hz cut (& also boosts the lows & highs) The VLE is a low pass filter with a range from 20khz to 250 hz (I read somewhere that it also slightly boosts @ 300hz or so).

I've not read the whole thread, but what if Fender were to do this with the shape of the Jazz body? Infact, I'm off to email them to see if they will.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1369210859' post='2086210'] No! Ofcourse you have mate [/quote] I've just had a listen to some of the other entries & I don't think i have a chance unless I can add drums, guitar, keys & vocals! Not gonna get that done in a day. I'll see what time I get.

Oh! So I could have time to get a mess with my track & maybe improve it?

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1369171427' post='2085898'] Yes. I'm not saying its the "best" order but if you google for "effects pedal order" most people suggest wah before overdrive. I suspect its because a lot of the classic rock guitarists like Hendrix did it that way. [/quote] The majority of bassists that I talk to do the same as me, Dirt then Filter. Not all, but most.

Just back from another jam. The suggested songs were Come Together (which is sounding pretty good & very different from the original), It's all been done, Radio nowhere & Johnny B (overrated 3 chord predictable pile of something that isn't) Goode. So we started with the Barenaked Ladies song, It's all been done. They played & sung it just like the original. Tried it again as I didn't play the bassline anything like the original & it still sounded guff. Then we tried Radio Nowhere. Again the 2 guitarists just tried to rock it. OK, it's a rock song, but were not a rock band. So I wubbed the whole song (which actually sounded good to an extent) & we binned that song as well. They then pulled out Johnny B Gooaway!! I really hate this song. I never used to, but it's worse than Mustang Sally to play! It's a boring pile of steamy turd that just follows the same 3 chord pattern as almost every other crappy RnR song from the 50s & 60s. I tried playing something a bit more funky, popped the auto filter on, tried slapping, a bit of disco, but nothing makes it sound any better. We then played Come Together & we had fun. At last a song that sounds good, is fun to play & the guitars sound good in it. So we played it another 2 times. Then we played a wee bit of Get Lucky, which was sounding good, but one of the guitarists got bored & said it's just typical dance music & couldn't be bothered playing it anymore. We did Crazy & then the 2 guitards started playing some random rock stuff & noodling about. Why is it so hard to find decent musicians! I'll try another couple & see how it goes, but I think we need another band meeting to talk about the music & then just write things.

Since the demise of the Doors, I don't think anyone knew he was still alive! That goes for all the recent OAPs that's recently (or ever) passed away. The only exceptions seem to be towards the ones that are still on the go & refuse to give up & we usually say "hurry up & die & give us some peace"! A good example was Frank Sinatra. His demise wasn't a great loss, he left a brilliant back catalogue! But, yes. I agree with you.

[quote name='dr Szelma' timestamp='1369122551' post='2084966'] I'd put wah first, overdive, and tuner. [/quote] My incline would be the exact reverse order, but neither is right. It's very subjective to what wah & dirt it is. Some folk on here prefer dirt after the filter, I tried it & the filter then does very little, whereas if I put the filter after the dirt, I can close the filter for a low end rumble & open it to add dirt. I would keep the pedals to play about with & find out which ones you like & then at a later date, get better ones if you need to. I wouldn't use the FX loop for anything other than rack fx, but again that's one of those things that is upto how you want to sound. The send on most amps is a mix of clean & fx (though some amps are switchable). +1 to having decent patch leads & power.

There is no better/wrong way. Playing about with the pedals & getting them in the order that makes the sounds that You like is part of the fun of having pedals. I'd probably leave the suppressor & limiter pedals off & then see if you need them.

I used to have a 2x15 marshall rig. I then had a 4x10 Trace Elliot combo. I now have a 2x10 markbass combo that could drown out either of those 2 rigs.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1369075590' post='2084614'] It wasn't a sympathy vote, I just didn't want to vote for a pro. I didn't know which was his when I voted, although I had a good idea. Simon would deserve to win it, because his mix is the best there (in my opinion) but I voted for the next best thing. [/quote] My comment came out wrong. I meant I wasn't going to be voting a sympathy vote for my own mix. I wasn't judging how you placed your vote. It's your vote & your right to vote for whatever mix you want to. I plan on doing the same (that's voting for whichever mix I want).

I couldn't tell you which is who's, but there isn't a bad mix among any of the ones I've listened to so far. I'll get a listen to the rest either tonight or Wednesday & place my vote. I know which is mine & won't be placing a sympathy vote!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1369053318' post='2084266'] Ha! I'm getting worried, because (at the risk of losing anonymity) my mix still has no votes... Maybe it wasn't anywhere near as good as I thought it was, and I didn't even think it was that good... pollocks! [/quote] If it's any consolation, I thought I did a good mix (thought the low & top could be better, but I'm deaf) & I have no votes either. I still think mines' the best mix, but like was said earlier, that's probably because I'm used to hearing it like that. Too many of the other mixes has the vocal sounding a bit Elvisish, whereas I think he sounds more like Steve Earle.

What a disappointment! I was hoping for a thread on this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL8xYvKwzNA

A bit of black foam with a hole cut out for the handle (packaging foam would do).

Ahhh, but which is the best drummer for metal?

If you're not wanting to spend a lot, then the EHX Q-tron (& it's variations) are worth a look. If you're happy to spend, then I'll add the Moog MF-101 to your list. It really comes into it's own if you add an expression pedal or 2.

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1368887936' post='2082708'] Pretty much everything after 1980 [/quote] You've not listened to much 70's funk & heard the mighty Mu-tron! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj51HsAN72Q
