Anything with a Sansamp VT plugged into it! What don't you like about the Portaflex range? I find the PF stuff more than holds it's own playing rock.

It is a bit reflective of basses - a £300 pedal isn't 10 times better than some of the £30 Joyo pedals in the same way a high end Squier doesn't sound 10% as good as a Fender custom shop. I do feel the pedal companies are applying the instrument price guide to something that isn't the same.

I grew up listening to Hanoi Rocks and guitarist Nasty Suicide is now a pharmacist in Helsinki. Understandably for professional reasons he doesn't practice with his stage name!

My 2014 Thunderbird [URL=http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Tim_73/media/IMG_0484_zpszppwpcgb.jpg.html][IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e125/Tim_73/IMG_0484_zpszppwpcgb.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I started out with a pick right by the bridge (sounded awful) but learnt in the late 90s that the sweet tones are much, much closer to the neck.

I enjoyed julesb's recent thread of the reverse so it got me to thinking, which albums dismissed as rotten are we all rating? I'll get the ball rolling with the 1986 Rolling Stones album "Dirty Work". Universally slated but from the Jimmy Page intro onwards I just hear the soundtrack to part of my youth.... Over to you.

Kinda interested but I suspect a lot of us found what we were looking for with the Sansamp stuff.

I couldn't find a feedback thread for yourself.[/quote] It's hidden under a load of dust and an older variation on my username!!!

Now with added chorus...(but less rock 'n' roll automobiles!) [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Tim_73/media/pedal%20power_zpseckcnivk.jpg.html"][/url]

Having bought from Peter last month, I'm back again for a chorus pedal this time. Same story, effortless transaction etc etc.

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1484756806' post='3218174'] Nice looking chorus [/quote] Oops that reminds me, I was going to leave you feedback once I posted this... and then I got sidetracked. Cheers all!

A snip for £140. Dano basses are usually great fun, at least the ones I've tried have been.

I read the entire thread thinking of Anita Dobson and thinking everyone was just being deadpan funny!

I have recently been experimenting with a couple of effects and have a very small board that I have put together. My question is simple, is this the best order? Bass into tuner into chorus (very occasional use) into VT Bass (left on pretty much all the time) into amp. The cars are purely cosmetic but if it helps, they improve sustain, balance the EQ and aren't really a pose! I know nothing about effects so am happy to bow to any superior knowledge. Cheers.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1484745669' post='3217993'] To be honest I had no idea the email would go to everyone regardless of the setting.[/quote] I got no email either but then I remembered that the mods get a special carrier pigeoned message, delivered by the spirit of Jaco, James Jamerson & Duck Dunn. A lot of effort considering I don't believe I can make it this year

My poor work computer won't let me quote Discreet but in answer to your question, easily!

I am another one for Nevermind by Nirvana. I'm sure it's an age thing as kids in the years below me at school loved grunge but I hated it all. Makes me wonder what critically panned albums we all love....

I can only echo the general conscientious here. I too have been burned many times and it does make you cynical. I have had some good experiences but generally it seems to have come rather questionable tactics too many times, coupled with the added pressure that it's for charity. The alternative is to organise something yourself for a chosen charity. That way at least you know it is genuine and the money goes to the right place.

I had the 115 version of your rig and simply swapped out the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Ampeg Portafex PF-500 for the 50T. It's a great rig but made better with the all tube head. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It isn't clear reading this why you want to change, beyond having some cash to put into it? The Portaflex stuff is good standard stuff and if you like it...[/font][/color]

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1484599704' post='3216748'] It's the normal basschat argument fodder..:-) Other examples include Pbass vs everything else Fender vs everything else Flats vs rounds Neo vs ferrite Valve vs everything else Class D vs everything else.. 😂[/quote] I dream of living in a world where "pick vs fingers" isn't so regularly debated.

It could be the electrics of the venue. Stuff in my house hisses a bit (I live in an old cottage) but it's fine elsewhere. Obviously if you aren't happy I'd return it anyway but the hiss could be from the rehearsal room's electrics.

I have the PF50T but missed this thread when it came out. It sounds immense! I'm really happy with it and for the record it isn't ugly! Special warning though, it doesn't fit into the PF cabs from the firs six months of production (i.e. not a problem for most but a huge problem for some!!

Much prefer it to black.
