Most people are gonna chip in with what they use.....so I'll just come out and say that, if you can get one, the Boss CS-2 is great, my fave that I've tried. It's a classic case of trying a lot and seeing what suits you Si

Hi there, Lovely bass, but please post a price for it, otherwise the listing will be removed. Good luck Si -
Really cool pedals, always gonna be useable Si -
Anyone popping along to see Juan Alderete's side/solo project next Tuesday 24th Apr? If you're unaware, he's the fx pedal guru who plays bass for Mars Volta [url="http://bigsir.bandcamp.com/"]http://bigsir.bandcamp.com/[/url] I'm driving up on my own from High Wycombe, so if anyone is going, lemme know Si

I can't wait to get my PN-2 onto my board, just after my Orbit omnomnomnom Si

The FEA looks nice, but it's not really catering for a pedal channel switching/mixing setup?!. Only two channel inputs, which means that you have to have an extra splitter at the start of your chain, send through the relevent pedal loops, then into the channel mixer. It also looks like you can only swap channel 2 in and out, so you couldn't select it independantly of channel 1 without bending down and turning the gain for 1 all the way down?! Si

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1334822759' post='1621701'] i always just cut the velcro into thin strips and put it round the edge of the boss pedals rubber, worked for years with no problems, in fact i think the tu2 i did it to was the most secure pedal on my board [/quote] Yeah that's exactly what I do, mostly to preserve all the Japanese Black Labels lol Si

Naaa, all passives are different, I just tweeted you the question, but it depends what pickups you're using. For example, Bartolinis sound fantastic with a pre, but passively their output is very low. Get some Dimarzio's or something wound hot into a bass with no pre, it'll blow your head off. I certainly wouldn't base a decent passive setup on the OLP you've got I had an OLP with a Bartolini MM and an East 2 band, that was the only active bass I've ever liked Si
-
I've been telling you that for ages Active basses are balls, un-neccesary EQ, no dynamics, choke effects.... passive FTW Si
-
For a while now I've been GASing after Juan's bass from that vid, an early 70's P/J lined fretless. Pure tone!! Now where to find one lol Si
-
What we've learned here is 'Wanna use pedals.....get a passive bass' Si
-
This looks so nice! Have a bump! Si -
Boss OC-2 octave pedal *** WITHDRAWN, NOT FOR SALE ***
Sibob replied to mcnach's topic in Effects For Sale
[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1334686635' post='1619819'] I've just bought a second one of these, but maybe I need three... [/quote] I own three....you should too! Si -
Juan is a dude, real big inspiration to me! I think his board is actually really musical, he knows every pedal inside out and uses them to add rather than cover-up Si
-
The ZCat stuff looks interesting, I'd be interested in what you think of it if you order?! I've gotten a quote from Max at SFX, so that's an option, he makes great pedals. I've also got a quote pending from these guys: http://buzzelectronics.co.uk/index.php They don't make a blender, but am asking about custom, I'm not fussed about fancy paint etc lol Si

Another vote for octave + EQ My last gig I was running through a big PA, plenty of subs, I was boosting 62hz and it was shaking things off shelves I've now switched my EQ pedals and will be boosting 50hz :-D I'm messing around with the idea of producing some Meatbox clones......30hz boost anyone? Si
-
Are you aware that the band has that line up all the time? For all we know the drummer and bassist could be deps, unlikely perhaps, but I've certainly been on gigs with 2 or 3 other deps, seat of your pants but nice and organic Si
-
Yeah just talk to Newtone, they'll sort you out with whatever you want! Simples Si
-
Hi guys, As is tradition, here's a last minute invite to my covers band, Re:Cover's, gig at O'neills Think we start about 9 or 9:30pm Maybe cya there Lovely Si
-
ARGH, I have a 2003 USA Jazz that I've often thought about trading for a Hotrod P......but it's a lovely bass.....so torn lol Si
-
His white Yammy looks very cool, shame its a 5 Nice little collection for a well-off Pino fan though Si
-
I have the Jazz equivalent and Fender really know how to make a good 5 IMO. Seriously considered exchanging my J5 for the P5, but never quite made the jump. Good luck, looks like a beauty! Si

Oh he's not gonna sue, even if he reads this and thinks 'Oh well now I'm gonna make an example of the site', it's still a ridiculous move to make. At best you're going to see a massive dive in UK sales, at worst there'll be a massive sale of 2nd hand Rics, which could affect global sales (shipping to other countries etc). I know they're the extremes, but the online backlash from legal action on something so petty (It's not even like we're building copies in a garage) would not be worth the action. They'd need to spend so much in legal fee's maintaining the precedence, they might as well sell up now. Si

It's funny isn't it, how protecting ones intellectual property (or at least that's how JH see's it) can damage your sales, as is probably the case here. By taking away peoples choice, they're less likely to choose your product, simple as that. Embrace competition and the intrinsic quality of a company will usually show through the players with discerning tastes. As has been mentioned, protecting ones assets is fine, but there are means to do so without alienating your customer-base If nothing else, this thread might act as a business lesson in 'Uk bassists' for Ric lol Si

Hi all, I have a Boss Line Selector, boxed with manual etc. Pics to follow. Looking to get hold of a Super Shifter or Harmonist (PS-5/6), also up for a VB-2 or Meatbox too, all with cash your way I should think Chars Si
