Yeah it’s one I had done by Tim/Tom https://www.gig.ink

It might well do. Whatever their jazz type wiring thing should work

Hey nash I did this very thing and it’s a great option for a p bass. Here’s demo I made... What did I like and what didn’t I like... As you can tell from the demo I used a tone styler in mine and frankly I don’t think it would have been as good a mod without it. For me the only issue was it didn’t sound like a p bass but then again that was the point but the TS10 does some neat tricks to add back in some p bass like mids if you want or need them... The PBird stood out for the unique quality it has in its tone and while I wasn’t ripping things up in a metal trio the versatility of the pick up and the tone styler (it can do balls out and it can do dub with a mid setting which will just work for you once you find the right position) meant I used this bass on a host of gigs and could always find a sound which worked from country to rock. I’ve not tried to describe the sound as the demo will take care of that I hope.

Mine arrived this morning. Stuck them on the jazz as my p bass is sounding too good with the flats it’s currently wearing. Nice feel to the strings!

What don’t I like about it? I just preferred the MXR in the side by side. Maybe the eq was more suited or the drive was ‘better’ for what I was doing at the time? One of the things with describing what I don’t like is that you might be drawn to all the things I dislike. Describing these things in terms such and meaty lows or full mids could be overblown lows or boxy mids to the next person. It’s like on a jazz bass. I think you and I have different sounds we gravitate to. I have a preference on where I like my mid range and on my amp I know boosting certain frequencies works for me to reinforce lows mids without boosting lows which I find boosting lows becomes too much. When using drive I have a preference for my mids much higher but still below or around 2kHz. Looking back maybe the BDDI was lacking something there in the low mids or too high in the highs? You’re asking me to give notes on a pedal comparison from 10yrs ago and I wasn’t really taking notes I just knew in a head to head the MXR worked better for me. You’re in that stage of pedal buying where you have a bunch of them side by side and as such are maybe more into hearing the differences. I’m just at a stage where I know what I gravitate to. For instance I don’t think a super wide frequency response can like the F112 would work for me live as I like the cab to add its own thing and don’t need 18-20kHz response 4-6kHz is plenty for the bass or certainly my style.

@Cuzzie has the VTbass 500w head which is basically the VTDI plus power amp in one wee unit. He might have some good info on the unit if interested?

I nabbed a Squier CV Jazz locally for a massive bargain used. Added a new wiring loom and pick ups and it still came in under £250. If you're happy to have a hunt you'll find great deals. I'm happily (or was) gigging the bass with no qualms. Mine is passive as I don't really need an active EQ - have a pre-amp on my pedal board. There are other good options if you prefer more modern features but it's hard to beat a Passive jazz. Oh and I resprayed mine Sherwood Green! I like mine alot, 'tis quite the playable little fella and sounds great!

Depends if you can select an fx slot and where it comes in the signal chain. With the PGo are all the fx blocks 'fixed' in sequence so as an example it will always be ordered comp>drive>filter>pitch>modulation>amp/cab kinda thing or can you move their position in the chain? If you can reorder theor position and can drop the fx loop anywhere in the chain you'll be grand. Another thing might be to A/B settings with the Stomp and the Becos in an adjacent fx loop and A/B between them (or another similar comp from the list) to get the type of comp feel/sound you like so you've basically cloned the sound you gravitate to as a preset.

Gonna get to this in a wee bit (just woke up)! Did you have particular song or sound in mind or just throwing something together?

Thanks for giving us the discount! I think folks are much more likely to take a punt on something new if there's a little incentive. I'm really looking forward to stringing the P bass with my nickel set!

I’ll give it a spin over the weekend - got a few more nightshifts before this week is over!

Might need a bit more detail on the settings used

That would never happen on BC😀

Yes I can!

Thanks! They’re going on my p bass so looking forward to trying them.

Ordered a set lets see how they go! @MSL Pro I sent an email to you guys as there appears to be a typo with my order. D'oh! Ref is 1003 ‎

Depends on the pedal and how the controls interact but yeah all knobs at noon is often a good starting point. I know on the Tone Hammer with the AGS side engaged it wasn't quite so straight forward but nowhere in the manual did it really give tips on how to get different tones which would be handy. Still one of my favourite bass pre-amps though as it 'can' do the Ampeg thing bit isn't limited to only that sound. The BDDI wasn't really my thing and I opted for the MXR M80 back in the day! I think they T21's are different pedals with different end goals and not really meant to sound alike.

all knobs at noon bring the blend down and dial back in to taste

Kenny's did some great deals on the Ampeg PF-50T and PF-20T heads a while back too. Worth checking them out from time to time to see what they've got on offer.

I wish! I should have told him I had a cunning plan. To be fair he was virtually giving them away at £9.99!

Feel like I reallly should have bought one to see what all the fuss is about 😀

Yeah I’m just wondering if I should commit to plying the bass line as best as I can and leave the superfluous stuff to a keys wombler!

Jesus lads enough already. The pedal appears to work for the stated purpose. Do what we did in the old country Get a room, a bottle of whiskey and a shotgun, hole up for two or three days and you’ll figure it out!
