  1. That was quick!

    Here's a linky to the original thread with pics and clips on it:

    And you're the fourth owner, this pedal gets about a bit!
    Quality unit though, nice and neat and loads of tasty fuzzy drive

  2. The DODs are good for the money (around £25 second hand). They can be excellent in the highs but very indistinct in the lows.
    Basically i liked mine and could get a few cool sounds out of it, but it sounded nothing like Chilis records which was what i bought it for!
    Another thing to watch out for if volume drop when the effect is on. This rendered it nearly unusable on my Warwick but was ok on a Musicman and a Squire

    I found the two envelope settings on the Boss SYB-3 Synth pedal better than the Dod, much smoother and clearer.

  3. My missus bought a similar trolley for carting all her shopping about when she injured her shoulder, it had 3 wheels on each side for going up stairs and kerbs , it was ace! Hers also had a tartan cover for the authentic mad-old-woman look


    Would these do?

    The last one's a bit extreme i know!

  4. Always been able to get through the drummers noise, something that wasn't always possible with my old stack!

    We have a very loud drummer too, with one of those old Premier kits that were designed before most bands miced up the kit

  5. I use a LMII head and a Schroeder 1212r cab. Can carry the head in a bag and my bass and cab in either hand!

    It's loud enough for every gig i've done with it including some big halls and i prefer it to a combo

    EDIT: This cab looks like a very good option if you're in the market

  6. I have had quite a few jazzes and i liked them all! I don't get on with Ps though...

    Try a few Squiers, from the Standards up to the VM et al. I've got a Standard and it's the nuts! I can get four or five really good, different sounds out of it. Really good slap sound too. Try rolling a little off the bridge pickup with the tone just nudging 30%, that's my usual fingerstyle setting for 80% of our stuff.

    Dunno what everyone else is on about RE not getting classic Jazz sounds, all mine have done the job apart from my Warmoth which is a totally different beasty

    I've used these on my spare bass before, Cash Converters sell them for £4. They're pretty good (better than rotos!), i'd gig them if i was short on cash. I had a set on my Squier for a bit and while they were never overly bright to begin with they didn't deteriorate as quickly as some other strings i've used.

  8. I use a Hartke A70 for my bedroom amp and it rules. Kicks out loads of bass for it's size, plus i've done a few small gigs with it. If i need to go any louder than CD-playalong volume (trying out pedals etc.) then i can just crank it up. I have it between 1 and 3 usually.
    The 12" speaker will handle a 5er too.

    I think they did 25w - 100w versions of these, all cheap second hand too

  9. Started using my M80 as it's got an eq switch/boost, overdrive and a DI out all in one pedal (is that cheating?).
    I use this with a bit of chorus now and again provided by a Stereo Electric Mistress (i don't use the Flanger on it). So does that count as 4?

    Before that i had a Pickle Pie with Mid switch, a custom clean boost and various overdrives (EBS and Gremlin, got the Bogdan Helter Skelter now). I leave these at home now for pure simplicity

    I'm trying to justify using the Danelectro Black Liquorice but there's not much call for uber fuzzed out mayhem in a party covers band..... I'll find some though!!!
