    [quote name='Protium' timestamp='1342466438' post='1735720'] Some new fuzzes coming up soon - a 3-knobbed mammoth (oo err) plus a few circuits I've been tweaking [/quote] As promised: [IMG]http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j89/rh15951/Pedals/ee6c76cf.jpg[/IMG] Pair of fuzzes. Same circuit apart from one has an LED indicator, the other has a shape switch (splatter-tastic) [IMG]http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j89/rh15951/Pedals/74523d76.jpg[/IMG] 3-knob Mammoth fuzz (obviously ), super ultra megabright blue LED

  3. I've modded a few Turbo RATs so they work better with bass, good little pedals

    [quote name='mancunianfox' timestamp='1342524819' post='1736479'] Just out of interest, which knob did you drop and why? Just finished a Mammoth myself. [/quote] The EQ because I'm not keen on it and also coz I can fit three knobs in a row across a hammond box
  5. [quote name='Jazz Bass 65' timestamp='1342565798' post='1737307'] Went to the 'Beatle Experience' staying at The Hard days Night Hotel on Sunday 15th July. The Hotel was great and only a couple of minutes from the Cavern Club and Cavern Bar. There were visitors from all round the world who like us enjoyed the live band music on Sunday evening. Unfortunately this did not carry through on Monday evening where we were subjected to solo singer guitarists churning out Beatles songs like street buskers. Like us a couple from Norway were very dissapointed to find and absence of live bands on Monday evening anywhere in the vicinity of the 'Cavern', which, as on Sunday evening, was packed out again, we had paid to stay an extra night expecting to see and hear more live bands. It felt like they were just cashing in on the memory of the Beatles. To travel from the far side of the world as many of the visitors had and only to be entertained by nothing more than busking must be a letdown. [/quote] A "Beatles Experience" that involves music of The Beatles? What did you expect? Felt like they were "cashing in on the memory of the Beatles", this has got to be a wind up surely?

  7. Gutted. Can you see the point where the wires join the pickup and if there's any damage there? Hope you can exchange for another one mate
  8. That's too low to measure a pickup Connect the pickup straight across the output socket and play through an amp (start the amp at zero volume just in case it's loud)
  9. Use the 20k option on your meter edit: On the ohm setting
  10. Everything in my sig cost a total of £1200 (only the Ashdown head was bought new)
  11. MIM P-bass £90, boot sale bargain
  12. Terrific band, seen them four times spanning the first 3 albums. Good call Wayne
  13. Your plans inspire more confidence than my last build which were sketched on a small piece of paper... Good luck
  14. Nokia ringtone at 2:03 in the first one
  15. Bought a delay pedal from Luke, as described and arrived very quickly. Thanks!
  16. Up, up, up, down
  17. Every 5 I've ever played - The E is great and the B is terrible, or vice versa I used to play one in my old band, but everything was drop D with a lot of open notes and tuning ADADG didn't feel good
  18. ProCo Rat is a decent pedal, or the Turbo Rat with a few tweaks

  20. [quote name='kendall' timestamp='1339143437' post='1684180'] Back Alley Music Chester where I found the staff disinterested and a bit patronising. [/quote] Depends who's working in there, the older guys are generally pretty cool and let you play stuff. It's the younger bunch who just treat it like band practice and are generally not arsed.
  21. I'd gig one for a laugh
  22. +1 Krist is awesome, his basslines just work. OP, I recommend you watch Nirvana at Reading 1992 and then post again
