Usually you put the modulation pedals in the FX Loop so chorus, reverb, delay etc. This is so the pedal is untouched by your preamp and sounds cleaner and more precise in what’s it meant to do to you sound(as it was designed.) The fx loop is after the preamp but before the power amp so putting boosts in there can overdrive the amp Also a lot of loops run at line level not instrument level so if the pedal sounds like crap it’s not designed to run at line level.

Everywhere I looked this afternoon, spread across the work top, bits still hanging off the basses and one dtuner I got on special from hipshot, the last one they had (it was discontinued awhile ago) which had gone missing so most of my spare part/handy bits drawers were out too. I love playing a bit of fretless but I’m still ‘fettling’ my ear so I mainly play fretted and the mk1 is just to nice to be a practice bass. My lovely mk1 is fretless And my pro is fretted Bright spark idea, I’ll swap them over, strings off, 8 screws out and in, strings on, job done! It’ll only take half an hour… You may have noticed the first flaw in my plan, the mk1 has chrome hardware while the pro has gold. Next I found the mk1 had been shimmed by Wal a small shim which I promptly lost. On the bright side The dtuner turned up so on that went too I’m still looking for a chrome EB4 dtuner for the mk1 so if you have one lying around pm me 😄 In what world could I have ever thought it would be a quick tune up and off I go. Fretless neck on the Pro and I had the lowest action I could possibly get. Not an issue, on the fretless I keep the neck straight and the action with a hint of buzz. Just a slight tweak to the saddles and… the intonation is out. Still (again in what world) the Mk1 should be fine. The mk1 action had me scrabbling around for the shim and with a moment of clarity it came to me, it’s stuck to the fretless neck isn’t it! Fretless off 😞 nope, fretless back on. I did find it, where I’d left it on the toilet window sill, I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t decided on a pee break to settle myself (first day on the nicotine patches, they’re not that good.) The action was still high but the saddles were near the top so I managed to get it to where I like it. Intonation: FUBAR. So… 5 hours later I’m having a beer. Did I enjoy my day? Yes I did it was a Bass Day sort of. I now have this The Pro still sounds great fretless maybe a little to Zingy but the strings will wear in or I can tame it with flats. The Mk1 with DR Pure Blues on the other hand is monstrous. I purchased a Trace Elliot V-Type preamp yesterday from @ahpook (thanks again mark) It has a ‘Deep’ switch, it moves bowels! It’s not often I crank things up at home, but by god, today I deserved it 😂🤣

My modulus has the OBP1 with an original lane Poor so nothing like the stingray pre and pickup, would be interesting to try the obp/lane poor in my modulus neck stingray

Wouldn’t you like to know - Infectious Grooves

Could be a number of things, dirty/dodgy pot, wire come loose/shorting (have you tightened the jack output and twisted the wires) dirty or corroded jack output. could just be the jack contacts have become loose over time and you need to bend them back in (have you changed leads recently?) Has as the bass been converted to active (battery problem) best get the plate off and take a look inside. did you take the tuner/Noble out of the chain and go direct to eliminate them from the search for the fault?

Bass synth wah is an overlooked octave marvel great little pedal

At the risk of upsetting you more

In my LSD days I could have been sucked into that for days on end and never tired of it. thats a great piece of wood and a great bass

I can barely play 4 strings, I’m thinking of going the way of ‘Brushy one string’ keep it simple keep it safe!

Fender flea jazz heavy relic for me, it’s a bass I’m comfortable to leave lying around, with flats it sounds great and is easy to play. it’s like your lounging clothes you wear round the house my other basses are more defined in what they bring to the table the flea jazz is just comfortable.
