I fancy the idea of anodising the copper at various parts just to give it a very faint reliced vibe - where relicing might happen, but just a faint glow of different colour. I love those green/blue/aquamarine hues. When I have seen people doing this they have sanded the copper and put salt on it before leaving it to sit in Amonia fumes. Can I sand copper leaf? Am I even asking this in the right part of the internet?

I have a bass that I like a lot but do not dig the finish. I am considering options. One look I have liked in the past is copper leaf. It looks like something even I could manage if I go for the textured look. I would need someone to put a clear coat on it. In this video Ben (1st name terms) suggests that I could just slap it on over an existing finish. If I did this then I would need a clear coat as well and I would worry that it would be another thick layer of resonance inhibiting stuff. Or would it?

Chrome plating on plastic is GO! http://www.invictavac.com/

I am thinking of turning a bass I have into a Gretsch Silver Sparkle Jet-alike. I would put up a pic but am on my phone and cannot.

I shall go and find Nick. Thanks!

I am not allowed around tools without adult supervision.

My exciting whiling away the time mod project for today needs chrome covers for EMG 40 size pickups. Am I the only person in the world needing these or do they exist?

Why am I even asking anyone else about GAS related matters when I am constantly floating in a cloud of it?

You have a bass which provides "sheer weight of presence of the Uberhorn is something I’ve just not experienced before.." and you want an alternative?

The TL forum is great cos you can actually audition the patches which are on there through your rig but without downloading them. Very clever.

The one on the 60 thing was great because if you put it to 0 pitch shift but heavily balanced to the fx you got a thick sound which was not a bass guitar but tracked exceptionally well and was a different flavour. I had hoped to get this from other much more expensive boutique pedals but never managed it. The 60 did it with aplomb. I HATED changing patches on it so flogged it but I think I will have to suck it up. My guess is that the B3n is going back.

Hmmmmm.... the B3n has BaMn Pitch which does not do what I recall the Bass Pitch sound on the 60 doobrie doing. That is disappointing. Of course it is probably exactly the same patch and I am making a doofus of myself. For me the Bass Pitch was worth the entry price into the 60 thang all on it's own.

If I could CNC bass bits I do not think I would ever leave the house.

Found the vid with Dood giving it some chat. The sound I need is bass pitch. I will go and look for it now.

Thanks y'all. I am on the Tonelib since I messed with the 60 whatever it is. There was a sound on it I have not found on the B3n yet. It was a kind of octaver thing that I used "at pitch" mixed in with my normal bass tone to beef it up. Dood mentioned it somewhere in a review. I will have to go and look again.

One of those Hellborg rigs went for peanuts on Ebay. I was gutted. Poweramp and all.

I feel guilty for having enabled you "three".

Well, it appears that the cable which actually charges my phone is flaky. Obviously all USB leads are not equal!

Just got my B3n. I am trying to get into it with Tonelib. I am on my 3rd USB lead. I KNOW this one works because it charges my phone every night. It just sitting there waiting for device to connect. Any ideas? TIA

His work was done with me 3 years ago.

Sorry, not onboard.

Any really. I am not even in the market. I was just wondering what is out there since I stopped being obsessed with preamps.
