I'd highly recommend a Midget from Barefaced. I have a G2 Midget (1x12) and it's easily as light as much smaller 1x10s. Loads of headroom, I've walked it through London with a Little Mark 2 and a bass no problem. I've also gigged a little Bag-End 1x10 before which was nice, not a great deal of low-end as it wasn't ported, however sounded fine and held it's own. Heavier than the Midget though. Si

Mmmmmm, new TK-421-X demo video from MrExcane: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8efiYJmtlGU"]http://youtu.be/8efiYJmtlGU[/url] Si

I'd highly recommend the Markbass stuff, although specifically I use the LM2s. I imagine the tone shaping will be identical on the LM3s, however I can't comment on overall tone as it's not an analogue power section on the LM3, digital innit. Sure they're still excellent though. My only experience of gigging TC stuff is the house 'rig' at Ronnie Scotts bar (upstairs), am not a fan of it, but that is just one situation in one venue. Si

I had a VT-2 Dual Bass Custom, and it really did sound great! But just too big for my board really Si

I prefer Logic X Si

Some Fuzzrocious pedals have controllable feedback, the Demon King for example, excellent Overdrive/Distortion with a tuneable feedback on a momentary footswitch. Big pedal, however Ryan might be able to to incorporate it into the smaller Demon enclosure. Drop him an email *Note that this video has the Feedback on a latching switch instead of non-latching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMqU0Wgbfak Si

Depends really, a 5 or 6 string obviously retains your string intervals, a 4 string in drop D moves your E string out of your traditional fingerboard patterns. Some people will find a 5 string more comfortable, some people will find a 4 in D more comfortable. Depends how good you are with fingerboard knowledge Si

Neat innards are easy with solid core wire, next to impossible with multi-core wire. Hate multi-core Si

[quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1435820020' post='2812623'] I made the Monte Allums mod to my ODB3, did everything you describe in your first post here. It transformed the pedal into something much more usable and controllable. [/quote] Just had a listen to that mod, really does improve the pedal doesn't it!! Si

There's an OC-2 for sale in the Effects For Sale forum at the moment. Get that! Si

I'd say take a look at the COG TK-421-X & the MXR Bass Distortion (designed by Fuzzrocious) too. Those two and the B3K are probably the best Bass Distortions with a blend at the mo . There are lots others that probably fall more into the Overdrive or Fuzz categories, it can all be a bit grey lol Si

Really nice fingerboard, birdseye, but not over the top! Si

[quote name='The Badderer' timestamp='1435657783' post='2810971'] that's good to know cheers guys. i'll be less getting my knickers in a twist about dismantling the bass option now! [/quote] Another reason to just buy one out there, and do that for getting it home again. Maybe just check your case with an existing bass before you leave lol Si

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1435654471' post='2810924'] There's a few grumpy old men on this thread aren't there? It's interesting that all the singers held up to be better are male and rock singers. I think people are missing the point, it's all about performance and engaging the audience with her. She was clearly so charged with adrenaline she lost it a little. She came on so fired up she did miss a few notes then she nailed it for a bit but overdid the jumping around and lost her breath and control at the same time. The audience clearly loved it. Do we have different standards for women I wonder? A lot of the acts lost vocal control towards the end of their sets, Roger Daltrey for one but I'd rather see an act taking risks and entertaining than just delivering and failing to engage. In the past I've seen sets where she has just nailed every note, remarkably so with some of the intervals she uses. There's a difference between not being able to sing for toffee and messing up. Who here hasn't messed up playing or singing live. OK the music isn't for everyone, I'm a sucker for a good pop song. I personally find most rock songs and rock bands dull and derivative, just not my taste, but I don't come on and slag off Dave Grohl for having an off day and going raspy and shouty at the end of a set. I guess I understand if people are criticizing because they didn't get to see the Foo's, whoever thought Florence was an equivalent act got that wrong, but it's hardly the bans fault. I'm a bit worried that we find it ok to criticize women more easily than men. [/quote] The Staves aren't male. (Did anyone go watch The Staves btw?) Florence is always off, the occasion has nothing to do with it unfortunately. Si
