Great video, thx! Does anyone know the neck radius on that bass?

Dunlop said they'll send it, cool, thx for the tip!

Thanks for the tips, I ended up buying a used EBS Bass IQ from a fellow Basschatter and so far am quite happy with it... I tried them all in the end: MXR - might have been that unit but the effect sounded too weak to me... Micro Q-Tron - rubbish on bass Q-Tron - Ok-ish but huge and requires a 24v adaptor thus defeating my purpose of getting a small filter to take the wah out of my board Didn't try the Enigma but I realised it was too much for what I wanted anyway... EBS seems good - works better with my T-Rex Bass Juice than the wah so I'm happy! So happy I'm getting the Unichorus too :-)

I broke mine last week... If anyone has one they don't need, I'll pay postage to have it sent to me!!! It's for a 105q but MXR covers are the same... Thanks!

Thanks, after a bit more research I've eliminated the Enigma, I think it does simple envelope filter but it does a lot more too that I don't need so it would be a waste of money. I'm also not too hopeful on the MXR after reading some more. I can try the Micro Q Tron, Q Tron and MXR this week, maybe also the EBS. I'm really hoping I love the Micro Q Tron because I love the price already 8-D Where can I buy/try Tonefactor or Boomstick in the UK?

I've been using a 105q for years, but the damn thing makes my board weigh a ton and it just happens what I'm using it for now I could do with a filter! So I'm down to these options at the moment and would be very grateful if you could comment on your experience with any of them, or suggest others: EBS Bass IQ - I haven't yet tried an EBS pedal I liked, and the lack of control knobs makes me a bit nervous. Anyone has experience of these? MXR Bass Auto Q - Modelled after the 105q so should be a good option for me? EHX Micro Q Tron - Sounds good on their website but I'm also worried about lack of control and lack of a volume knob. I have the Bass Microsynth and it seems like with the effect on the volume always goes down a bit in a band setting even with all voices up so I'm worried this might have the same problem. If anything, I'd like volume to get a little higher! Could this become a problem? EHX Q Tron - This has a boost knob so it seems like a safe option, but maybe I shouldn't worry and the Micro Q Tron is actually perfectly fine? EHX Enigma Q Balls - This one of course looks very interesting: the option of an expression pedal is very appealing, as I could just add one if I needed a proper wah and sell the 105q. Has anyone tried it with expression? Can this pedal do everything that the Q-Trons do? The thing is it sounds more like a synth on the EHX video and I want just an envelope filter!! Can this sound just like a normal auto-wah kind of thing? I'm also worried about lack of volume control, can this be an issue? I'll obviously try to have a play with all of them eventually but I know it's going to be nearly impossible to find them all so I hope you can let me know your thoughts! Cheers

haha brilliant :-D How do you transport it, though?

I'm thinking of buying this for those gigs it's not really convenient to drive to, so I'll bring only essential pedals, but I can't find it anywhere in the UK. Any suggestions? Ordering from the US seems too expensive and Thomann has it at £70.79 + postage which also seems a bit too much... Any other suggestions???

I'm with you, OP! Tried a few Sadowskis recently and was totally unimpressed. Great build but the tone just didn't do it for me. No matter how nicely built I find Warwick, Sadowski, Lakland and other basses to be, I prefer the tone of a cheapo MIM Fender to any of those basses I've tried. In fact, I also preferred the tone of the cheap Skyline Laklands to the US-made ones! The only one that I might consider to replace a Fender Jazz at the moment, would be a US neck-through Spector. Totally different tone, but one I loved probably just as much! Shame the European equivalents don't sound half as good (I suppose due to lacking an Aguilar preamp) and the price tag on the US ones is totally out of my reach...

I get the open string, the 12th harmonic and the 12th pressed note all in tune! The pressed 12th is only out of tune if I press hard... Actually, last time I did it I also made sure it was all in tune on the 19th as well as the 12th, as I had read that suggestion somewhere, to use the 19th instead...

That's slightly unfortunate, but not uncommon. I can hardly find a Fender USA Deluxe, for example, that will have the strings well centred if sitting on the middle groove of the saddle, and when centred with the neck, they'll most likely not be centred with the pole pieces! You could replace the bridge but keep the old one to put it back if you want to sell it? Or do you REALLY have to play with the original bridge even if it's a bit limited? I don't see the big deal of replacing it. Why do you have to be restricted to the brand and model that they picked at Modulus? They probably didn't choose the best they could find anyway, they chose a good price/quality balance, you can choose something more towards the quality side?

Can you have 2 distortions on at the same time, or 2 modulations like chorus and flanger together? How do you compare this to the POD XT Live, like why do you think this is better and what do you think you might be missing out?
