If you're looking for an analog octaver, I really don't think the OC-2 can be beaten for the price. OC-3 is sh*te, EHX Octave Multiplexer is another good one, but I don't think it has the mojo the OC-2 does.

The basement itself has some display stands but looks basically gutted.[/quote] Wow! It's weird to think I probably walked past you! I can get to Zavvi from my office in about 60 seconds

I would assume the "emulation" is as exact as they come?[/quote] The OC-2 second hand will set up back at the most £40. I know I'd rather have the real thing than a copy...It just doesn't have the Mojo.

If you would like to sell, please PM me

[quote name='cheddatom' post='216754' date='Jun 11 2008, 12:03 PM']I have an OC-2 and I love it, and I tried an OC-3 and didn't like it. However, someone told me once that the OC-3 has an OC-2 emulation mode. Is this right? Doesn't it work?[/quote] That's correct. But why pay for an emulation when you can get the real thing cheap as chips?

It's the closest thing I've found to an original Mutron III. I'm considering getting one as a back up for my Mutron. It's awesome!!

[quote name='ste_m3' post='208663' date='May 29 2008, 10:26 AM']I find my EHX micro synth to be quite useful when used sparingly!! for example ill only whack it on when theres a drum fill and i want a nice bbwwwwaaaaaarrrrrrrp-ching! over it Id like to try the prunes and custard though as the ehx dosnt do fuzzy synth very well. the filters are immense but uts a shame![/quote] I absolutely love the Prunes and Custard...I still regret selling mine. I will have one again, some day!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='208855' date='May 29 2008, 01:50 PM']the metaphor interests me most, i imagine the bass muff will just be like the black russian, and the other one will be a simpler version of the metaphor[/quote] I think the Bass Big Muff will be more of a Green sovtek muff, judging by the graphics.

[quote name='thedarxide' post='208635' date='May 29 2008, 09:41 AM']I bought one of the Behringer BSY600 Bass Synthesisers, and it's lots of fun, but I can't actually find a use for it!! I've tried rolling back the volume of the effect in comparison with the dry so it's less in your face, but it still sounds like a space invaders game I think I may have wanted a envelope filter, I'm going for the bass sound from the jamiroqui track from Godzilla, which is dirty but has something else on it.....[/quote] That's a synth effect alright...But it's more of a Fuzzy synth than the synth you will find on the Behringer unit. I find the Crowther Prunes and Custard pedal gets very close to the Deeper Underground sound.

[quote name='NoirBass' post='135750' date='Feb 7 2008, 03:07 PM']All good, Bought a Tonefactor 442 pedal, item as described, good communication, easy to deal with. Nice guy too. recommended![/quote] Bought the Jamerson "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" book from Chris. Nice, quick transaction. What a nice bloke. Don't hesitate to deal with him at all - He'll treat ya good Cheers again mate James

I use an EA iAmp 600 with a MarkBass 4x10+1x15....There's no way I'm going back to a combo

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='204500' date='May 22 2008, 07:14 PM']same as, EA were extremely helpfull. and mines 2nd hand too[/quote] +1. When I blew up my iAmp 600, Gary at EA was very helpful in sourcing the replacement parts, and even offered to speak with my local tech about how to fix it! Great guys, and great products...No complaints from me.

Thanks for the info guys I think I will go for a good hard ebony/maple neck. Still not sure pre-amp wise, but I figure that will be the last thing I put in anyway, so that will give me time to think. As it's a fretless J, I'm wondering if I should have a P pickup routed in, between the Jazz pickups, and some kind of switch so I could have fretless P and fretless J tones It's a tempting idea, but then I'd have no excuse to buy/put together a fretless P

Hmm, you seem to be missing a P bass... Haha, jokes aside - what a fantastic collection!!
