[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1390404711' post='2345045'] Another Dunlop 1mm user. They last for years and even when rounded off at the bottom are great for 'less attack'. Although you can use one of the round top corners for that if you like. I lost one the other day - first time in about 10 years! [/quote] Same, I never lose picks!

Agreed. I think i'll keep to the smaller pedals...

These are really nice basses - look great and are really versatile!

Perhaps easier to play, but harder to play something new...

Welcome to the site!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1390397422' post='2344886'] Interestingly in my days as a guitarist... I decided that I would prefer to use the DI output live... [/quote]

Yeah, I've got a Voodoo Labs 4x4 which has a fairly hefty output, but think it might still be pushing it... Quite interested in the Organizer...

I do have a Line 6 M5 already, but wanted to save the real estate on my pedalboard! Considering that as an option though, any experience on powering an M5 off of a standard power block?

Nice looking bass! I'm not really into white finishes, but that aged white look is very cool! I'm sure a bit of upgrading and some TLC will make this a great bass.

Another thought to consider is to blend, or not to blend. I used to always have a clean tone blended with my distorted signal, but fell out of love with my tone. After getting different pedals with a more bass-directed approach, I now have a fully distorted tone and am much happier with it!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1390388825' post='2344732'] I find pick is way louder, but recently the limiter is working wonders, I wonder if its my technique , to heavy maybe ? [/quote] I don't know. Haven't really thought about it much. I used to use a 3mm pick, but found that it actually made my bass [i]quieter...[/i]

Must dig out my bass-related t-shirts...

Looking forward to this - not long to go!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1390388212' post='2344718'] What does everyone do when they switch between pick and finger style during a set, adjust your output or use a limiter ? [/quote] I have an always-on compressor on my board, but even when not using this, I don't find sound levels a problem when switching back and forth. It's a different tone, but not necessarily a louder/quieter signal.

Hi guys, Just interested in your opinions or suggestions. Thinking about more ambient sounds, I was looking into the Line 6 Verbzilla (particularly for the 'Octo' setting) or the Earthquaker Organizer. Any thoughts, comparisons or other suggestions? Cheers!

[quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1390328101' post='2344133'] I use a Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, in my opinion, I don't think you could get better/more versatile bass distortions/OD's/fuzzes then theirs! [/quote] Definitely this! I've got the Rat Tail, the Grey Stache and the Dark Driving - all very different but all excellent!

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1389890906' post='2339195'] But do I really need a better bass? [/quote] Always. You [i]always [/i]need a better bass. However, there's always a bass that's better than [i]that[/i] bass too...

Dunlop Tortex Blue 1mm for me. Somewhat torn between the standard and the triangle shapes though...

I do dislike modelling technology, but mostly because I know that it's so good nowadays! I don't want my gear to be redundant...

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1390379692' post='2344593'] I think 2 bass is reasonable. One for backup incase the other is still in the workshop or not working for a sudden. More then 2 the rest is luxury. [/quote] Everyone likes a bit of luxury...

I like a little delay low in the mix to add depth to a bassline. Don't use it overly much as it can get muddy.
