Primus and the Chocolate Factory, which I had already heard on Spotify and was mildly entertained by, but my girls heard it and thought it was wonderful so I bought it for them to listen to in the car.

Good to hear from someone who has tried them both out! I should have worded my post a bit better. I meant that my Dug really does hit the spot, particularly with my Rickenbacker - it pulls off a great Ric-O-sound impersonation with that thick bass running underneath the grit on top! I'm sure I'd love the YYZ but it's expensive to find out... I realise the YYZ is voiced differently, but is it going to do satisfy an itch that the Dug isn't already…

I'm itching to try one of these, and have been tempted to get one on drip several times, but I'm struggling to imagine what it could do that my DP-3X doesn't already.
-
VERY nice... and it looks like they've finally sorted out that headstock!

SOLD. -
A lovely pedal in superb condition. I love the sound but my Tech 21 DP-3X is meeting my dirty needs. Price includes postage to mainland UK. -
How so? He seemed to be pretty involved with it's development.
-
It's not about effects - it's about the notes. Something as simple as octaves works wonders. The bass and drums should be the solid foundation, with the guitar on top. If the sound weakens when the guitar solos, it's probably dominating at all other times.

It's what we used to shout in the school playground, usually with crossed fingers, to be considered exempt from the game of Bulldog or It or similar.

I believe they always identified as a band comprised of Christians, rather than a 'Christian band'. Dug renounced his faith a few years ago. Incidentally, 'King's X' seems to be the American version of 'fanites'.
-
I wish that chap Vanya was on Basschat, I'm sure he'd have something to add.
-
I'm a King's X fan and love Dug's tone - but it's not a sound that works for me (although it is fun to mess around with). This pedal does a lot more than just the Dug sound we expect to hear.
-
I too was very concerned about the mids of the Dug, but I've now owned one for a year and played it continuously and it has never been an issue. Yes, there is an inherent mid scoop when the mix is engaged, but I've come to realise that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've certainly never been lost in the mix with it. As I read on Talkbass, there is a 'mid scoop', not a 'mid void'.

Dead Pets - Great bass vibe & tone

Nice! Are they called Dead Pets or Pet Deaths? -
Worst and best versions of the same Beatles tunes
Cosmo Valdemar replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
That was incredibly beautiful. Thank you. -
Worst and best versions of the same Beatles tunes
Cosmo Valdemar replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
There's so many Beatles covers out there so it's hard to pick definitives, but here's a particularly good one. And for balance... -
Well I certainly am!
-
Now I'm getting The Spotnicks?! 🤣
-
And now it's changed!
-
I can see John Rostill playing with a pick...

-
I've just ordered a Brassmaster kit to help me try to replicate it!
-
It's note-perfect from start to finish. Surprisingly, it doesn't feature much of what we consider the classic Squire Rickenbacker tone.
-
Fender Bass VI, Lakland Decade 6 etc.

Fantastic. -
I had a listen on Spotify, out of morbid curiosity. It wasn't pleasant. In a similar mindset I watched some recent footage of the band playing Gates of Delirium. Absolute car crash viewing. The whole thing threatens to derail several times causing Steve Howe to visibly conduct the rest of the band back into order. Geoff Downes simply isn't up to playing Moraz's parts (or Wakeman's for that matter) and bemusedly stumbles through. Davison and Sherwood are competent but complete charisma vacuums. And saddest of all is poor old Alan White, literally propped up beside a small drum kit next to the main one, limply tapping away. I know he's been unwell, but come on. I try to never begrudge an artist from continuing to tour their material, even if it no longer interests me (Brian May and Roger Taylor). But the current Yes is pretty shameful.
