[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1506802077' post='3381268'] Yup. I've got one in my board. It does the Burton fuzz wah sound very well. At almost everything else it is terrible for bass. It was originally a guitar item after all. If you want the Burton thing it's perfect. Especially stacked into another fuzz like Burton did. [/quote] Thanks for the input. I think it would be fun to play around with.

Anyone have any experience with the Cliff Burton Fuzz Wah?

That is really well done. Beautiful guitar.

I just couldn't adjust to the Spector I bought last week. It was a great bass but just not for me. So I returned it and picked up this little guy instead. Got a hundred bucks (quid?)back and ended up with a bass that is more my speed. [attachment=254539:20170928_164057 (1).jpg]

My brother when he hears that I bought my second bass, "what do you need another bass for." Some people just don't get it.

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1506292724' post='3377734'] Whatever you preference, or if you want to fit in on bass forums: 1. 'I set everything flat' 2. 'I eq to suit the ambience of the room' 3. 'I bump the mids a bit, mid scoop is for amateurs' 4. 'Everything up on full, that way every frequency will be heard equally. Then turn up master volume to taste.' [/quote] I should have known, to each his own.

Any rule of thumb for what the low, mid and high should be set to?

I did it. I bought a new to me Specter and capo'd it at the third fret. Plays very nicely. Here's a pic. [attachment=254279:20170924_145339.jpg]

Thanks everyone for the input

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1506219419' post='3377134'] I've never thought of that! As others have suggested, it should be fine if it's only a couple of frets maximum. Those first couple of frets are a few inches though so they'll go a long way. String gauge will obviously play a part in the end result. [/quote] I think I am going to give it a shot.

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1506215710' post='3377130'] Are you trying to capo the bass and tune it so it's still standard tuning (EADG) after being capo'd?? [/quote] Yep, that is what I had in mind.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1506210650' post='3377117'] Tried once or twice. Lost intonation if I put it up more than a couple of frets. But that could be the cheap stuff (bass, strings) I was using? [/quote] I am thinking of putting it on the second or third fret.
