You can, but it will effect the quality of the sound of the repeats (which might or might not be desired). Personally I was fully aware of the short maximum delay time when I bought the pedal, and planed to use it as such (that is more as an ambient effect than a rhythmic delay effect).

I don't have any pictures of my exact actual units, but these two makes up my most recent pedal purchase (ordered and delivered at the same time) : DigiTech FreqOut : Behringer VD400 Vintage Delay (Boss DM-3 Analog Delay clone) : Both amazing pedals. And the Behringer is just astonishing value for the money, a genuine all analog delay that sounds absolutely gorgeous (mind though that it only got 300ms as max delay time).

Your Ultimate Desert Island Bass Tone
Baloney Balderdash replied to thegummy's topic in Bass Guitars
It's an overdriven Marshall JCM 800, all tubes amp, an old SS Peavey bass amp, run clean, and an old all tubes Ampeg SVT, overdriven with an Xotic BB Bass Preamp run into it, all run simultaneously, of course with each their own cabinet. Or at least it was in that gear rundown I watched where Lou shows and explains about his live setup: Lou Barlow is another one of my absolute favorite bass players. -
What are you listening to right now?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Nico "The Marble Index" , full album: -
Pull out the old enclosed jack socket and replace it for a quality regular open jack socket (stereo I believe, as I assume the bass for an active preamp).
-
Ah, yes, the "Disco Volante" album is absolutely just as amazing, agree, forgot that momentarily, both those albums are much better than their debut self titled album in my opinion (even if I do still like that album):
-
Also as I just edited in I personally prefer Mr. Bungle's "California" album :

Trevor Dunn is one of my absolute favorite bass player too: Don't forget his avantgarde jazz side project "Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant", where he also plays a mean upright/double bass: Or John Zorn's avantgarde jazz "Moonchild" project where Trevor Dunn played bass, and Mike Patton handled the vocals: Also personally I prefer Mr. Bungle's "California" album :

Looks like a toy, both visually and feature wise.

What is that middle guitar? A Bass VI type instrument? Also which exactly, custom made of some kind? Looks like it got one side of a P pickup for the 4 lower strings, I assume running to that second output jack socket, to process and run the bass side of the Bass VI through a bass amp separately, and then a neck single coil for all the strings.

Pick or Fingers … ongoing dilemma!!
Baloney Balderdash replied to BassAdder60's topic in Theory and Technique
Maybe I am too tired to decipher this, genuinely not trying to be snarky, but what exactly is this supposed to mean, I fail to make any sense of that sentence whatsoever? It's like some words are missing, possibly also some commas, and possibly it really should have been divided into 2 sentences as well, not entirely sure. -
Your Ultimate Desert Island Bass Tone
Baloney Balderdash replied to thegummy's topic in Bass Guitars
I would tend to agree on this. Though I do actually quite like my own bass tone as well. Know what bass Joe played on the Repeater album? -
What are the names of these chords?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Theory and Technique
I did think something didn't look quite right, and these are the actual chords I was inquiring about: I guess basically the same, except A not really being the root note, and then the shape of the last one. Just a case of a brain fart of me thinking up the wrong shapes compared to what I actually play. -
Thumb Fin...yes, you read that right, Thumb Fin!
Baloney Balderdash replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
If they had called it Trump Fin they would have ensured half of the US population buying their product, even if only a miniscule fraction of those actually play bass. -
That quite some control panels. But yes, they are beautiful instruments. Personally I would love a Stanley Clarke signature short scale, if only I could ever get me any hopes of having that kind of money to spare.

Mosky makes seriously great budget pedals. I love my Black Rat RAT clone, use it on the Turbo setting for my high gain distortion, retains low end better than the original Turbo RAT and sounds no short of amazing, and for some reason it also just blends exceptionally well with clean signal, which I blend in via my Boss LS-2, doesn't sound like a distorted signal on top of a clean signal at all, but just adds extra definition and better articulation to the distorted signal. And the Mosky Klon clone has won several blind tests against the real deal.

If you want quality Sandberg, if you want street cred from people still stuck in last century Fender.

Large quantities of LSD?

Such is the curse of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). And yes, most people on this forum, myself included, suffer from this terrible mental condition. And the worst part is that while usually the most effective way to get rid of an addiction is replacing it with another one, be it coke or Jesus, in this particular case that method only seems to make the GAS even worse.

You want a P/J set of EMG Geezer Butler pickups! They are dead quiet even without a properly shielded bass (as they are shielded internally, and comes with shielded wiring as well, with the ground running as a braided shield all along the individually insulated hot wire), and you don't even need to solder to install them. And most important of all they also sound no short of amazing! Oh, also they are quite reasonably priced.

What are the names of these chords?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Theory and Technique
First of all thanks for your replies, much appreciated. To mention the context, this is on my just 28.6" scale Ibanez Mikro Bass, which I've strung with gauge .068 - .052 - .038 - .028 guitar strings and tuned to tenor bass, A# standard, tuning, that is 1 half step above the upper 4 strings of a six string bass, pretty much exactly half way between regular 4 string bass E1 standard tuning and regular E2 standard guitar tuning (so in the images shown the lowest root note would actually be D#, rather than A as otherwise displayed). So it is pretty much possible to do chords over the entire register of the bass without it ending up sounding too muddy, despite the fact that I do have it EQ'ed more like a typical bass than a typical baritone guitar. It also helps that I will usually not strum the whole chords but rather just play the individual notes of a given chord one by one (though often not muting the previously played ones, so that it will still ring as a fully harmonized chord), and that I often won't actually play the chord note of the lowest tuned string either. -
I really like the sound of these chord shapes, especially the first one, but even the online app, from which the following screenshots are from, doesn't know their names: What are their names? Edit!!!: By the way this is the online app that I used, which can either show you just about every chord and scale in existence in whatever key and tuning you'd desire, or identify whatever chord or scale in any key or tuning you should desire (well except in this case it seems, but usually): https://chord.rocks/bass-guitar
