[quote name='Old Newbie' timestamp='1437597151' post='2827517'] Thanks for sharing. I'm interested to hear how people have developed their sound [/quote] Get yourself over to the effects board then! Far crazier setups there than I have!

[quote name='Old Newbie' timestamp='1437510885' post='2826726'] Thanks gents. I see one of you lists your interests as having more effects than guitarists! I like a little chorus & reverb, just to give the sound a bit of depth, but I haven't experimented with anything else. Which effects do you use and how often do you apply them? [/quote] Are you referring to me sir? Well, my pedalboard reached ginormous proportions (something of a competition between myself and my guitarist...) some time ago and got so ridiculous to lug around that I went back to bass into amp and started again! I would say that my essential effects would be an octave pedal (only use four-strings, so used for reaching those extra low notes, but also for a more synthy tone), an overdrive for an occasional bit of grit, and a chorus for a more mellow tone. At the moment, my main gig is with a covers band, so I have a number of pedals to try and nail the tones of other bassists, but then just a few that I have for fun!

Hi from Portsmouth!

My order is sitting with Andertons now... Estimated arrival time not until September though! :-(

I accept its not the style of music I like, but was willing to give it a fair chance. Was hoping for some epic show. Nope, even the finale just fizzled out. Watching Queen live at Wembley circa 1986 to get over it...
