Al, don’t get sucked into the classic pedal positions, really experiment. I know I said to you that an octave AFTER the Manta does some awesome things especially if you can add in an expression pedal, and you can set your octave for up or down. Dirt before a filter will definitely drive it and give your opening of the envelope a spark and a different flavour, but you may find a different order for your tastes, it’s like the compression at the start or end of chain debate. Remember you are soon to have 2 filter pedals so you can stack the filters if you get the right setting in the Manta. One of the ones the Manta will get you sounds very much like a talkbox. If I were you I would get another octave pedal and then you can have one before a filter and then one after a filter then it makes it easy! No hard and fasts here, chop and change em around

It’s a bit annoying, technique is not for me, but Ian not a hater. We can all universally agree that the best vids show pick, finger and slap. Probably why Ed Friedland vids are good. Also I wouldn’t want noodle let’s see how fast a jazz run I can do vids. You need a good solid groove to let the Notes ring and hear the tone

Now now Krispn, you know you miss the 76G, despite the CB and the Hudson Broadcaster in tandem. Keep the big box! If you get some hiss get a decimator!

Oh Al, you opened that can of worms disguised in another thread....... I suppose in a way one could ask has the DG line exploded and then now fallen back a little? Is the fact there are a few more DG products than usual for sale testament to this? Personally I think they are quality items, pricing aside, but they do have a core sound which is very modern metal. It's a shame as their stuff esp the amp can do more with its clean EQ section, but you almost feel like it's a waste not using the dirt, and that leads to the modern metal path. I do like the dirt sound B3K variations especially, but there is something about it which doesn't quite sit with the clean sound, it's just a bit separate once engaged and unless it's bass which is the main driver of the sound in a band it can clash I think.

These amps were very high in my list, I went for a Form Factor Audio Bi1000 on the end, but we should absolutely stick them somewhere

Wonder if that chap in the Netherlands will do one...?

CJ is right I can't co ordinate feet and hands, hands and hands is bad enough....

Sandberg are the absolute mutts. I don't do fivers, but I am just about to get in my 3rd 4 string. Very happy

Awesome post Thank you

Ha! Size 12s and i often wear a pair of cowboy boots, so I have a good platform for this kind of thing. To be honest I think I hit 2 at once more by accident than design, but clumsy, hence leave it on one setting per song

I have to say, no issues with me either I do have big plates of meat tho.....

yes to yammy's if you want to get a Musicman SUB, get a USA on second hand, can be around £4-500 and then get a Vintage Nordstrand MM pick up slotted in, great tone

I'll pm you my settings to see if you like them!

Don't flomp!!! I have Cali76G, and I love it, sometimes I set the ratio past 12 to really get a good kick out of it. You may have done this already, but mess around with higher rates of compression, and the the other dials it is so worth it. What voltage are you running it on, max it out to get the max effect.

The Decimator has a secret recording device tracking your every move. Big brother is watching you......

I'll lend it only if you buy the other 2

Al, like DB and CJ and I said to you before reading this Buy both and then buy the Manta

Well in that case it's a Two Notes LeBass hands down Brilliant pedal with a DI Also cheap as chips and really not a bad sound is a Hartke VXL, very underated pedal which has a DI also. If you like an Ampeg sound the SCR DI is decent and can be used as silent practice Sansamp range if you like it, and of course the bass fly rig. Loads of alternatives out there

Radial J48 REDDI 2 of the best on the market

Cheers Danny It's about right

Knew you would have a little dig...... All part of the payments to Krow Kourriers!

Al Krow the Threadstarter, The Prodigy should change their lyrics.... So my experience MXR does the business from Chilli Peppers to funkadelic Herbie Hancock and is a well made pedal. Manta - is nuts, very synth dubstep, getbthe hot hand out, it's very good fun and does the other things as mentioned. Aggie - not played but listened, I think it sounds awesome and very easy to dial in and probably out the 3 mentioned the easisest to dial in install and also change in the fly if needs be. I sold the MXR, but only because I wasn't using aside from noodling at home and I can use the Manta for that on one save d channel and the Hot Hand on another, I can use it out if I wish also. It's a difficult one AK, nothing will be wrong, nothing will be fully right. As I know what you play in your bands I am leaning towards the Aggie (you know I have not played it, but listened and taken on board CDJ comments) which I think will sit nicely, but also will give you enough funk for home tinkering. If you want to go wild you can Borrow my Manta any time as you know Also defo compression after envelope

Or a Creation Audio mk4.23 clean boost, gives you up to 24dB of clean sound you can kick on and off

+1 DR DDT I have them on 2 basses Brilliant strings
