I have a Stingray 5 (3 EQ) and a Sub 5 (2 EQ) The 2 EQ is much closer to the old musicman sound (I a-b'd it with a pre EB) and whilst the Stingray 5 (3 EQ) can get close to the sound it never really gets there, on the flip side though the Stingray 5 can be dialed to produce a lot more tones and the mids do come in handy if you play covers and need to change tone quickly... especially if you need to go from soft and sweet to harsh and in your face between two numbers Just my 2p worth

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='726254' date='Jan 27 2010, 12:56 PM']Ok so here is some background on these pedals: The Pulp Mill is fairly rare I think there are 25-50 in existance and this is 1 of a kind, I bought this and had it sent to Bongomania (Talkbass) to add to his list of ever growing compressor reviews, he reviewed it in it's unmodded state and then set about improving it. This is based on the old Orange Squeezer compressor and then modded to be much better on bass, this was my favourite compressor for years a great way to get an instant 2nd tone be it just emphasises you natural tone more, if you are playing a p-bass with flats it will add thump, playing a jazz with rounds it will add punch and definition. Here are some soundclips Rounds - [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/Pulp%20Mill/Pulp%20Mill%20Active%20Rounds.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...ve%20Rounds.mp3[/url] Flats - [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/Pulp%20Mill/Pulp%20Mill%20Passive%20Flats.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...ive%20Flats.mp3[/url] The Boomstick Bottom feeder made under the Boomstick brand for a while before moving to Mojohand range as the 442 red where previous to all this it had been the Tone Factor 442 Red, these pedals were actually made for me when I asked for a 442 that was better on bass so a few mods were made and one of the best simple filters was born, I 2nd this pedal only to my Subdecay Prometheus but that's a very heft pedal and can be difficult to figure out this one is very simple and sounds like this [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/442/442%20Slap.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone.../442%20Slap.mp3[/url] [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/442/TF%20442.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...42/TF%20442.mp3[/url] [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/442/Tone%20Factor%20442%20Black%20Sparkle.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...k%20Sparkle.mp3[/url] Enjoy[/quote] Thanks for that Steve

I bought this to use as a back up for my Stingray 5 but the fact that I haven't had to use it at a gig yet and my current financial situation means it's going to have to go It's black with the alluminium chequer scratchplate, it has a few dings but looks nice, plays like a dream (in fact the sound is as good as the Stingray) 2 EQ active and currently strung with newish groundwounds [attachment=40780:P100122_143530.jpg] [attachment=40782:P100122_143558.jpg] [attachment=40783:P100122_143616.jpg] [attachment=40785:P100122_143651.jpg] I would like £370 for this including the Gator hard case, ernie ball straplocks and Goucho suede strap Thanks for looking

[quote name='umcoo' post='717604' date='Jan 19 2010, 11:16 AM']I was thinking about this again the other day. Maybe an Orange/Matamp fest as I'd like to hear the difference between the two heads.[/quote] A battle of the valves eh? Actually I would also like to hear a few different ones although I can't see me ever having the money to buy another lol What do ya reckon Tayste? a "Valve off" round at your studios

[quote name='umcoo' post='687504' date='Dec 17 2009, 05:02 PM']I've got a feeling they're 500. Tayste will come here at some point and let you know.[/quote] 539 I think but tayste is the matamp font of knowledge

[quote name='TheButler' post='678048' date='Dec 8 2009, 03:31 PM']Ste, what do you think 2x410 or the one 8x10? Merits of having one over another?[/quote] 2 off 4x10 is definately the way forward sounds the same if you have them both sealed and a whole lot easier to get around on your own... I've started gigginf the 2 4x10s in the pub band and I can get them in and out of venues on my own where I just wouldn't be able to with the 8x10 also you can just drop to the 1 4 x10 if you feel like whimping out on the sound lol PS will get plenty of piccies of my stuff up as soon as I can
