Ooh, some lovely basses in this thread. Would absolutely love to have a Rickie or a copy, but it's just not that high on the priority list. There is a lovely blue Rick fretless in one of the Bass shops round the corner on Denmark St. They want £1450 for it though IIRC, so I'll be (ricken)buggered if I'm gonna buy it

Lookin' good Ste. Way too many pedals for a bassist though

It's just supelative in ever way.[/quote] +1 - I had to get rid of mine due to lack of cash, and need of a fuzz pedal, but I have no doubt that if I need a Chorus again in the future, it will be the Analogman.

Ant your board gets better everytime I see it. Good stuff.

This is probably the best fretless Wal I've seen. Congratulations on having such a beautiful bass in your collection. My dad sold his Wal Mk II that he had made

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

[quote name='cheddatom' post='217021' date='Jun 11 2008, 04:48 PM']They're not much different in price are they? 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?

[quote name='gafbass02' post='210458' date='Jun 1 2008, 12:09 PM']Any ideas on a good squelchy filter al la Bootsy/ 70's disco style.....cheap!, in a single pedal form, not multi FX, a tall order i know, but its gotta be cheap i cant afford much at all![/quote] Look for a used Maxon AF-9! 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.
