Blimey - I always put Kick through my wharfedale titan 12's and they're still going. I can feel some self flagellation coming on.....!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='308777' date='Oct 17 2008, 05:24 PM']Thanks Dood...well i thought that was quite comprehensive.! i dont want to spend too much, £200.00 max..Is it possible to subtly change the tone of a bass on, lets say the Boss unit..or is it a ..press the button and you get an effect.. i would like to be able to mould the tone.. With the obvious chorus, delay etc Thanks..[/quote] Yes you can mould the tone - if you're prepared to spend time with the unit and be prepared to learn it's ins and outs. I've got a GT6B but have gone back to using individual FX. I don't want to open this thread up as an argument either way - I reckon if I spent the time, the GT6 would prob sound as good - but time is a valuable resource . . . . .!

Hey Chris - welcome back. Just loving that P you sold me - shine on! Col

Engage brain.....open mouth......sorry!

I seem to remember reading an article about Trevor Bolder - who played bass with Bowie and was one of the 'Spiders'. He played an old P with a J pickup added - but only played the J pickup - the P pickup didn't work. I play a lot with just the bridge pickup - but i still like to use the neck for a more deep and rounded tone - but it's obviously your call - if that's the only tone you need - go for it!

WTF is a 'desert rock' player???!!

Thanks for your comments guys - but have you actuall tried this - I think some experiments (Lfalex) are the way to go!

From what I have been able to find out, there is nothing wrong with basswood, providing you don't want a natural finish and don't intend to use it in a fight. Tone is warm, sustain is good and it is relatively light in weight. Fit and finish on the bass is excellent, hardware looks to be of decent quality, frets are substantial. Nobody ever says anything nice about my playing, but lots of people have said nice things about the sound of my bass. Objectively, it is way, way better than my daughter's ex-boyfriend's Squier P and quite bit better than my MIM Jazz. I have no idea how in compares with anything MIA, but you would have to offer me something very special to get it off me in a trade.[/quote] Agreed - absolutely nothing wrong with basswood - it's not ALWAYS light though! I've got a CIJ basswood jazz which is just lovely to play and listen to. Ironically , the (sunburst) body is quite plain, but the neck is one of the most beautiful I've seen!
