No real changes here, but the cabling is all neat and tidy now. This has proven to do it's job for me very well! Corvid fuzz likey to be replaced with a gated fuzz very soon. Other than that - it's all staying!

Hmmm... Often the nut vibrations travel along the string and get amplified at the bridge, hence that suggestion. If all the screws and bolts at the bridge are tight it narrows it down! Are the strings ball ended? If so, are the balls clamped tight against the bridge or are they moving. Sometimes thicker strings don't slot through all the way and the ball end can move. Odd it would be amplified loudly but worth a go. Also, do you use strap locks? Is so take the strap and locks off the bass and try again as my Schallers sometimes rattle unless I'm stood up pulling it tight. Shep

They're just re-sampling the input signal and reproducing it at the desired pitch. Harmony is different and requires pitch recognition and if it's going to be polyphonic it will introduce even worse latency problems and all sorts of nonsense. Regardless of how new a pedal is it won't fix the fundamental problem with the physics of pitch-tracking a bass note.[/quote] What he said!

Sorry to thread hi-jack... On a similar note I've had a stiffness start over recent months in my right hand. When I don't use the hand for prolonged periods it stiffens up and the little finger and Ring finger almost lock, so bending them causes them to almost click in and out of joint. This lasts about 10 minutes while I fight through the pain and then it loosens up. This occurs almost every morning (as the hand isn't moved during my sleep), but also at times I've noticed it such as when in the cinema after not moving and watching a film for 2 hours, and last week I stood at a gig with my hands in pockets for about an hour and it started then as well. It's only ever the right hand, and only ever those 2 fingers. Once the hand loosens up it's fine, as such it's not interfered with my playing, but it is concerning... Anyone experienced anything similar?

2 things I'd check. 1.All the little screws in the saddles are screwed so they actually rest on the bridge. I had one saddle only resting on 1 screw and tr other vibrated like mad. 2.check the nut slots. Playthe string you notice it on the most whilst applying a little pressure behind the nut (before the string meets the machine head). It could be some brands are slightly thinner and the strin is rattling in the nut. This is quite common. Try a heavier gauge string or put a tiny bit of paper aside the string in the but and see if it still happens. Shep

Looks awesome. But as stated above - my go it's huge. I can't see it being any use to me in my Drum & Bass set up as I only use the whammy for 2 specific functions which the regular one does great. I'm happy to keep the older one on the board as compared to the M9 I find it's tonal qualities are a little smoother. Not sure I can explain but the whammy just sounds 'nicer' though the swells and dive bombs. The new one certainly isn't something for me, but if your buy one, Mark, I'll have a play

I like it very much… Got a great swing to it (for something in 7), good work! (Nice bass in the Avatar as well! )

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='1226964' date='May 10 2011, 11:56 PM'] The geiger counter does some suprisingly nice fuzz sounds, I was thinking of moving it on after I'd had my dirty fun with it's weird noises, but I might keep it on as a fuzz.[/quote] If you decide to get shot... I'll have it!

[quote name='Clarky' post='1231687' date='May 15 2011, 10:02 AM']Thanks Shep. The reason I assumed Sansamp last is the XLR output on that is next to the output lead socket and so if it was placed ahead of another pedal, the XLR would be inaccessible unless there was a large gap between the pedals ?[/quote] That won't cause an issue if you find you prefer your amp's DI and don't use the Sandamp for that reason anyway. Also your assuming you have to lay out the pedals in the order they are connected... Which is not the case. You van have the sansamp last on the board, but 1st in the chain... It's the order of the cables that matters... That's where George L's come into there own! [quote name='jonthebass' post='1231700' date='May 15 2011, 10:13 AM']You could put in your own short right angled XLR cable that can then be connected to the house XLR cable?[/quote] Or that!
