  1. A picture of the bottom label will help. If you can't manage a picture, then the colour of the label will help, the label also carries it's country of origin. Si
  2. Loving that Rat Tail!! Si

    Fretless, OC-2, Fuzz.....something like that probably Si
  4. I agree, reverb on bass has a fairly specific and 'difficult-to-get-right' use in a generic band setting. Worth spending as little as possible first (or at least buying second hand) in order to see if its what you want. For a nice and solid, toneful set of reverbs, the Marshall Reflector is excellent, and can be found and decent prices. I prefer slightly weirder reverbs, so my one of choice at the moment is a Mr Black Eterna, which is essentially a shimmer reverb. Si
  5. Not enough white PJ Fenders about! Si
  6. I suspect they'll officially unveil it at NAMM at the end of Jan Si

    [quote name='Byo' timestamp='1388752418' post='2325549'] I got myself a Z.Vex Sonar for Xmas! I was looking for a cool tremolo that could do hard chop andhad tap tempo but wasn't a 1 trick pony. The Sonar is amazing, the ammount of stuff you can tweak on it makes it quite versatile, and I love the multiplier on the tap tempo. [/quote] I've heard a few people say that the Sonar is a PN-2 killer , would like to A/B them. The Idiotbox Mad Dr is also a worthy contender! Si

    The Behringer Synth is based on the Boss SYB-5 I think. Plenty of people like it, but I could never get a good useable/giggable sound from the Boss really. Hopefully you'll have better luck with yours Si
  9. Yeah my first ever bass was the pearl white 90's Encore Precision, with the old Fender-esque headstock, rosewood fingerboard, white scratch-plate, creme pickup covers. Actually a great bass, I had it routed to take a J pickup a few years back and the Luthier confirmed it was Basswood. Did it up and sold it on here, so might still be kicking about . Here's how it ended up, just the body, scratchplate, knobs and bridge remained original: 'Mods' are Dimazrio pickups, Gotoh tuners, Allparts Jazz neck with late 70's Fender Decal Si

    [quote] This was a real PITA to box. [/quote] No sh*t Amazing build, would love to see inside the box Si
  11. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be overdriving the tubes in a hybrid head......although there are tubes in the preamp, it's a whole different ball game boosting a full tube amp to overdrive! I would get a low to mid overdrive pedal rather than a clean boost. The Phat Phuk is the slight exception as its a germanium boost, so easier to get some hair out of the pedal alone. Look at the: Xotic BB Pre Fuzzrocious Dark Driving COG Knightfall Catalinbread SFT Mad Professor Blueberry Overdrive Si

    Tried the Diabolik in anger yet? My Fuzzrocious Dark Driving is in the post! Si
  13. I've got the Live at the Aladdin DVD that the clip is from. WELL worth the £5 or so price!! Having said that, as much as I think Rhonda Smith is fantastic, she has the WORST fuzz sound on that gig! :-P Si
  14. [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1388445293' post='2322186'] Apologies for hijacking the thread but do Sansamp / BDI users put them in front of the amp or in the fx loop? [/quote] I use it parallel to my amp, bass into sansamp, sansamp DI to desk, dry out from sansamp to my amp. That way I specify my sound to the PA via the sansamp and my onstage sound via my amp. Simples. If my amp blows up, then I still have signal to FOA Si
  15. It perhaps also doesn't help that the Behringer is bigger and also resembles an Early Learning Centre preamp/DI I've got a Sansamp and its fine, as people say, it's fairly coloured but in a good way IMO, certainly for live/backup use. My 3Leaf Enabler is a nicer preamp/DI, but that tends to get used for recording and practice. Si
  16. Pictures into the pedal-board thread Si
  17. Bump Si
  18. It depends what you think sounds better. Vague answer I know, but my idea of a given order may not sound best to you. You might prefer the sound of the chorus before or after the compressor, so those are the two you'll mess with most. The tuner is usually first or last depending on whether you want to mute your bass into the pedals, or your pedals into your amp, the latter is best for noisy pedal boards. Si

    So yes, my lovely gf ordered me a custom Fuzzrocious Dark Driving from Ryan :-D. It's still being painted I think, so will be delivered when it's done and built. Until then, she wrapped a self-made mock-up [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/23hrrrt.jpg[/IMG] Si

    I'm not sure........I'll update tomorrow Cagey girlfriend lol Si
  22. I reckon it'll be great, but might break up fairly early? Which might be suitable to you Si
  23. I'd agree with Shep here, Tom's (COG) blend is the only blend I've ever liked. Too often it simply sounds like you're diluting the sound of the pedal, need to boost the effect saturation as you introduce clean signal just to have it heard. My Knightfall 66 prototype is great though, I tend to only ruin the clean blend at about 30%, but as mentioned above, it's very musical. Si
  24. [quote name='=^..^=' timestamp='1387821281' post='2316122'] No - there is a regulated power supply not shown !! I wonder if a single PP3 could power them all [/quote] Best not to find out at a gig haha Si
  25. A guitarist friend has 3 of the older model Treble N Basses, loves them, runs them with the 1x15 cabs they came with . 50w may or may not be enough for you to gig with, but by god you'll have a sweet recording amp! Si
