A Pedulla Buzz is it ?. Fab bass !

Quite right. We save it for the likes of despicable and dangerous muppets like Nugent. The midwife should have kept the placenta and tossed Nugent away

I'd buy one of the ones in the builders forum just for its looks, regardless whether its solves a problem or not. But not at those prices, no siree. The most i ever paid for a bridge is the Schaller 3D i'm selling, just under 90 quid

Just do this above

A whacky experiment , nothing more, and no one is likely to play like that in a band sitch. Though never say never. Reminded a bit of the Vigier that Govan played about 10 years ago but with less strings

I couldn't find a feedback thread for @PigBass so i'm kicking one off. Darren offered me a new / unused pedal for a 3rd of it's new price, and suggested i paid when it arrives. What a gentleman. The pedal was like it just shipped from a shop. Painless deal and a lovely guy to do business with Thanks Darren ! Pete

Clever playing. In fact he's excellent and it's just an experiment, so i'm not gonna slag him. I cant see me bothering though

Indeed, comfort for YOU is everything. What works for some doesn't work for others. That's life. You'll find your comfort zone and that will be the right technique

I speak with forked tongue. Just realised mine was one of the early V7 MM jobs. Still, the rest of the above still counts

I had the early Sire a while ago, and didnt get on with the tone, so i tried Barts and it didnt improve ( not for my taste anyways ) so it's probably the preamp. Thats just my take, and other owners / modders will have a different experience

I just measured my Roksak case and i started with length, and it's 127 cm inside. Marvellous. I was given it free of charge by Wunjos when i bought one of the weird shaped Overwater classics. Very long bass, and Wunjos tried a few cases and they weren't long enough. But just measured the upperhorn approx 50cm up from the bottom and my case is not wide enough at that point. ( you need 35cm ) Shame Pete's Tribal Planet doesn't fit the bill. They're the most awesome non solid case i've ever seen. You can stand on 'em for cliff's sake. I still have one. Shame they no longer make them, as nothing comes close to them in the non solid case bag business

It'll do that just nicely, although 4 times louder is pushing it.

Probably a tad louder unplugged than a solid unplugged, and you could play with an acoustic if they didnt play too loud Tone ? Well unplugged it has no bottom end, as you'd expect, and quite twangy, since it's not an acoustic bass.

Floating for me, as i dont like stretching, or keeping my plucking hand in one place. You get more tones over and above your bass eq and amp eq by moving the plucking hand nearer the neck or nearer the bridge. Also, muting comes from both hands, not just the plucking hand

Like a broken pencil. Pointless.

Likewise. I even had tickets to see him but covid facked all that up. Got refunded. I currently have an Ibanez SRHF 4 banger, and love it. Previously to that, i had an upright NS design NXT4 and an ESP LTD spalt maple. I wacked out this track with the ESP with a pal on guitar/keys. He did guitar keys and programming, i did bass and drums. It was just a bit of fun, nothing more

I have an SRHF, and its pretty fabulous IMO. Quite lightweight and very slim neck, typical Ibanez neck, but that suits me. Mwah with tapewound flats is plentiful, though i have removed my LaBella Deep Talkin Black Nylon flats for some Deep Talkin whites

Tell me about it - he has a bass of mine as we speak. Took 2 weeks just to book it in Still, this wasn't a hurry job

There's a couple of guys i know personally Dave Smart - he's a wizard, and he doesn't bodge to keep prices silly cheap. If you want a good job done.... I've used him countless times over the years. He's done many basses for me, but the most awkward thing he did was fixing switches on a vintage Trace Elliot 4x10 Combo. They were a right bar steward. Those little green push button jobs - he managed it and then serviced the amp and checked it over https://www.smartguitars.co.uk/

There's a review of the Boss CS3, in case it does some things you dont like. There's actually hundreds of reviews on compressors, though it looks there's not much on very modern ones http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/bosscs3.shtml

Steve Marriot, by the way.
