Higgie

Yeah been in contact with Dan at the GigRig. That was gonna be my first point of call, but just haven't got the money to spend on the repair yet - especially not knowing how much it will cost. Just thought I'd see if there were any other guys out there. Max at SFX is a good shout, I'll PM him.

I had a Roland Jet Phaser at one point. Awesome sound, but lost a bit of low end I found. Would be awesome in an X-Blender. You can get pretty close running a fuzz into a phaser.

[quote name='BB3000S' post='1191360' date='Apr 7 2011, 07:42 AM']Really great playing, and I absolutely love the sound of a Stingray with flats-like strings. Amazing song and delightful bassline as well.[/quote] Thanks! I don't think it was a particularly good attempt lol. It was late last night, and I was well tired. I had to redo the middle bit as I buggered it up on the first run through. So it's literally just 2 takes, the middle bit, and the rest of the song! It does sound quite nice on second thoughts, but I really prefer the zingy kind of sound on the record! [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1191413' date='Apr 7 2011, 09:02 AM']Fantastic job. I remember learning this and having to go and lie down in a darkened room every half an hour. [/quote] Cheers Pete! Nice to hear coming from a great bass player who plays Steely Dan in a tribute act! Is there anything I'm playing there that sounds wrong? There's a couple notes in the Middle 8 before the jazzy riff that I'm still not sure on.... [quote name='risingson' post='1191607' date='Apr 7 2011, 12:21 PM']Great playing mate, I'm sufficiently impressed! In fact you've just inspired me to go and record some Steely Dan stuff later on.[/quote] Cheers dude! Post it up here when you're done, I'd love to have a listen. I might have a go at Peg or Josie next

Just finished this: [url="http://soundcloud.com/higgie142/gaslighting-abbie"]Gaslighting Abbie[/url] Not perfect, there's a couple syncing issues and the odd bum note. Was just a quick demo thrown together to test out my new Audio Interface (courtesy of chriswilliams666), and the Addictive Drums VSTi in Reaper. Maple Neck Musicman Stingray 5 with dead strings and a high action. It was recorded direct with no effects added. It badly needs a setup.... Let me know what you think

You're very welcome. +1 on the community spirit. This forum has such a great bunch of members, I'd never doubt that if I was in a spot of bother, some kind soul on here would come to my rescue. The community is what we make it, so it just goes to show that there ARE some decent people left in the world!

Thanks for the reply. Already been through them, it was going to be so expensive to look at, that even if they couldn't fix it, it'd cost a bomb. Might just put it up on eBay as not working, and see if I get any bites. The sale would go towards the cost of another one!

My original DigiTech Whammy has died The LED was broken when I got it, but the actual pedal always worked fine, so unfortunately that is no indication of it working or not. It just won't pass signal, in bypass or not, from either the wet, or dry outputs. Now as you may know it's a very expensive piece of kit, and owing to it being discontinued, a replacement will be very expensive. Anyone know anywhere that specializes in this sort of thing and could take a look? Cheers James

+1 on the Proton. Would love one of these to compare to my original Mutron III

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1170257' date='Mar 21 2011, 12:49 AM']Love CW and his playing. Hysteria has a great bass part as do a load of Muse tracks. Guys got a crazy amount of stamina too[/quote] THIS! Stockholm Syndrome is an absolute BASTARD to play with fingers!

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='1164889' date='Mar 16 2011, 08:01 PM']I'd definately be up for A/B 'ing this stuff with mine ! I'll be bringing Peavey MKIV head and 2x GS12. Maybe also an Sa450 too. If transport becomes an issue, give me a shout, as I believe we're not too far from each other ? Cheers T[/quote] Very kind of you! Do you drive a Bus?

This sounds like a good one to come along to. I have a gig that night in Basildon so not too far...I'll see if the girlfriend fancies giving me a lift I can bring an Aguilar DB750, 2 DB212's, Shuker Jazz, pedalboard containing many goodies, an original Mutron III... As I said I'll have to see if a lift is available, but if there is, I can bring any/all of this lot if anyone is interested?

Distortion could be the result of a dying battery. Have you tried replacing it and seeing if you still get the same effects on the same settings?

Just completed my first 2 proper builds... MXR Micro Amp clone, and a Marshall Bluesbreaker clone. The Bluesbreaker is from BYOC.com and the Micro Amp is from GGG. Oddly enough I tried to make a simple true bypass loop pedal a few months ago and couldn't for the life of me get it to work...But give me something with components and a PCB and I can build them fine! Both pedals worked straight away, no trouble shooting at all. Now just to finish them - I've designed some Art Work for both but I don't know how/what would be the best method of doing it. What would you recommend? Next project will be a Wooly Mammoth clone I think...Also got a pedal design of my own I'd like to build! Cheers
