MAMB Best pedal case ever! We call it Lurgan Champagne in N.Ireland or Trampagne

What sort of volume do you need and is it a combo you need due to limited space/transport considerations? Loads of great head/cab options 2nd hand that you're potentially missing out on. If weight size aint an issue old Trace combo's are great for the money and will have all the eq'ing you'd need to get a heap of tone options!!

Got the Audiophile HD 500 the did a collaboration on back in the day and its a great amp - might be selling it though due to a recent new MB purchase.....

I think Cort had a hand in Lakland Skyline series production too!

New pre amps on the way from Lehle/Basswitch but unsuer of price - Premier Guitsar has quick demo up but cannot adda link as my work PC is blocking YouTube. Nice looking units but likely to be expensive as they're Lehle and brand new to market.

I understand they are touring Porno later this year

Now the flying accusations and questions of judgement, taste and manners has subsided **ahem** I'll add that a more recent album (from the last decade or so) Musicology has some great tunes - "On the Couch" for instance doesn't exhibit any crazy tricks, riffs or that but the slow groove of the tune and that killer drum sound, the [i]weight[/i] of the notes and thick bass tone to the feel from those sustained notes to dead stops had me hooked upon my first listen. I like Prince, sure he's made some sh*te but I ain't heard a good Metallica album in 40yrs didn't stop us from adding 'Bells' to a ceilidh set we played recently at a friends wedding;) I think a lot of ppl can respect Prince for being a musical polymath. From songwriting, production to performance he's written more hits than I have and I'm fricking awesome

McNash I'll PM ya!

Alex Just to repeat what's already been said but... As you may know the drive on the MXR automatically engages the modern function so you're getting a more modern scoop to the tone. The W&C PPB gives a useful boost and it'll defo bump you in the live mix. I used one in conjunction with a ODB-3 with good effect! Does your bass core tone have a scoop to it and maybe your needing to adjust where you sit in the mix, push the mids more to popke out between the guitars? I like the MXR Bass OD but it does add some of that modern sound on the clean blend knob - Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive or the Nate Mendel might be worth a look (the demo's at least) to see if your needing a specfic frequency boosted or something with a clean blend to keep your core tone thick and present Perhaps a eq pedal would allow you to boost the frequencies in conjunction with your current drive? Would the guitarist be willing to look at the bands sound as a whole unit and tailor their tone so you have a good big wall of sound? I suspect you'll have to fit in with their sound. Half the fun is finding your place in the mix and maybe your next practice you should go with the mindset of doing that and not concenbtrating on the actual rehearsal? for maybe the last 30 minutes get the band to play the same tune a cple of times, record each take on your phone if you can, make adjustments to your EQ (and write them down), record, adjust and repeat. Get the guys in the band involved and get their opinion too cause once you all have your place in the mix you'll be a better sounding band. Listen back at home the following day, maybe get the lads frok the band round too to hear the differences. It's more productive than getting frustrated that you've wasted money and time on rehearsal and you will sound better as a unit, make recording easier in the future etc etc. I look forward to hearing how you get on!!
