So do they 'write' songs about child molesters often?

I have one of these, I let my former band mates keep a hold of it since i've no room for it and they've no bass amp. I always thought it was a great amp. I could get a variety of reasonably nice tones from it which betrayed the fact it had as much elegance as a tank. Its pretty loud but its built like a bomb shelter...and yes, its heavy haha. I think Peavey make some great amps. But do try your luck with working out a price. Its second hand so why not?

Cant comment on the EBS though it is held in high regard by a few peeps on here IIRC. The sans amp is pretty good. I think it takes awhile to really get to grips with and to know what settings to hold restraint on. I use mine to grit the sound of my Fulltone Bassdrive so its not quite so woolly and smooth.

I can see my choice of next bass is set!

Lovely fella...lovely. Now for an amp!

I reckon (and it is a guess) but since that backline isn't actually the amps they use live, that hes running his bass is being blended through at least 2 amps behind the stage with one really distorted and the other not. Ive always found EMGs really receptive to a lot of distortion. Plus his 'clean' tone is pretty snappy as it is. That doesnt sound like any synth Ive heard, just a great distorted tone going through an expensive rig.

I did not so long ago, it sounded good even through a little combo in the shop. Ive had to stay away from that shop since. My card trembles and my overdraft sweats. I'm kinda torn between this and an all natural CIJ jazz bass as my next bass....the debate goes on!

Im led to believe the Behringer BDDI is a pretty good copy of the sansamp. Maybe worth picking up and saving a lot on the sansamp.

That looks the t*ts...if you pardon my french. Lovely looking basses.

Ive seen a few pic of his board from the recordings and it looks like he was using a line6 distorton/OD modeller (the gold one...the name escapes me now) Though that bass does sound like a blended tone as the low end is pretty tight.

Those Orville Customs are sweet looking though.

I saw them years ago before the first record was released. His sound dwarfed the guitarist, who was'nt so quiet himself.

Id go for Nickels too if you are switching/testing, or just stay with DR's. They do last a long time.

I always get props for playing 'Mountain song' by Janes Addiction. Last time I got a suprised (and bored) shop monkey saying 'Now thats a f**king riff...Ive not heard that in ages'

[quote name='alexclaber' post='64971' date='Sep 24 2007, 07:36 PM']Only when Comp.Cut is engaged. Great pedal - much cheaper from the US. Alex[/quote] I wouldnt agree. The boost is on all 3 settings on mine.

I remember buying one off of you toasted more than a few years back. Has been my main 'dirt' pedal since. The boost setting can be a wee bit overpowering sometimes but its all in the fun of being a drive pedal. Sounds great on guitar also.

Theres a fair few. Im sure basszilla has filled you in. Torche! Nice play.
