  15. I borrowed one off a mate for a while (a Spark Booster pedal that is, not one of John Deacon's 💩 studio recordings) and I thought it was great for a low gain, touch of hair/grit/whatever. As Cetrea says in the original post, the mid boost setting really makes the bass stand tall in the mix.

  22. How you use your gear is, of course, your prerogative. But if you're having so much creative fun at home, surely the next evolutionary step is to build on that fun with other musicians? Bounce ideas off one another, create new and exciting music together, and share it with a crowd? Personally, I buy gear to use with the band, but I see myself as a gigging musician more than a bedroom bassist. But, there is absolutely NO air of superiority or elitism from my point of view, just curiosity. I don't know where you've got that idea from or why you keep alluding to it.

  25. Very good point. I've mentioned this elsewhere but it's worth repeating to highlight this very issue. Around 3 or 4 years ago I bought a VT Bass pedal, I was seriously impressed by the sounds available from it going by the YouTube videos. Plugged it in at home and was really pleased with how it sounded when I'd dialled in the sound I'd got in my head. Took it to the next gig a few days later, set it up, checked the volume between on and off, and was ready to go. But when I kicked it in with the band, the bass vanished from the mix. I remember the guitarist looking over to see what was going on. I kicked the pedal off and the bass was back. I checked the pedal volume at the end of the song and it was fine. It was EQ'd to give a push in the mids while keeping the low end fat and enough highs to define the tone without making it top heavy. But it just didn't work, it sounded great on its own but it was an unusable tone suck in the mix, alongside a guitar and keys playing rock and pop stuff.
