It seems everytime I bump this to the top I get another interesting trade option... so, to the top -
[quote name='Mattbass97' timestamp='1468750629' post='3093032'] Before you venture into the world of fuzz. Do yourself a money saving favour and check out the Big muff series by EHX. Some love them and some hate them but the new stuff like the nano bass big muff does the job. Also for Zvex check out the mastotron (£80 in the classifieds) a hell of a lot cheaper than the mammoth but just as dirty [/quote] +1 to this, I'm not sure if it's technically a fuzz or what... but I have the bass big muff and it's the only 'fuzz' type effect I like. I can never seem to get a usable sound, in a band context, from fuzz pedals (and yet I keep buying them!) which is probably down to my lack of knowledge/understanding but the bass big muff seems to work for me... and because of this I currently have a Mastotron and a Fuzz Factory in the classifieds!

The best octave pedal and compression pedals available. ?
kingforaday replied to bubinga5's topic in Effects
I was really excited to try the Bass Octave Deluxe but I didn't get on with it, too much of a synthy/keyboard tone to it, to my ears... alot of octave pedals do though, like a Boss OC2 I guess. I still use a Digitech Bass Synth wah, cuz I can't find anything that tracks better with a really clean unaltered tone. Depends what you're after though of course. -
PM replied, cheers!

Paul just purchased a Hohner B2v from me which needs a bit of work to get it going again, best of luck mate, you're a braver man than I. Wiring makes my head hurt. Pretty sure I've sold to or bought from Paul before and no doubt will again, thoroughly easy, pleasant transaction and nice to get to meet you this time as well. Cheers!

bought some monitors from Terry recently, they arrived today. Great speakers as described, quick postage and some really careful, thoughtful packaging. Generally a really easy pleasant transaction, top stuff!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1461313748' post='3033512'] It's actually a B2V which has been converted to active. The strap button move is a good idea, keep meaning to move mine in the same way. [/quote] Ahhhhh.... how did I not notice that?!? Yes, hence it says B2V on it and not B2[i][u][b]A[/b][/u][/i]V. I think sometimes I just see what I want to see. Cheers for the heads up!

Bought a little headphone amp from Sid, great item, great price and a really easy pleasant transaction. Would be more than happy to deal with Sid again in future!

The band broke up about 8 years ago but we still had 4 songs we never got to record. Problem is I've always hated leaving anything unfinished! These things tend to play on my mind... I used to play the tracks on bass all the time and had listened to very incomplete rehearsal recordings, on and off, for years. I decided to book some studio time to record them myself but quickly realised I'd never do the guitar and drum tracks justice (the drum intro and guitar solo/outro on the track 'Save me from myself' for example... talented chaps). In the end I tentatively contacted the other guys and to my surprise they jumped at the chance to get the tracks recorded! so after 4 rehearsals we went into the studio and recorded together again. We later went back and added vocals which was an interesting experience! The band had had numerous lead singers over the years but a pretty stable lineup in terms of the rest of the band. We decided against contacting one of our old singers and instead had a stab at doing it ourselves. This meant we got to do things our way and in the way we'd always intended; to only put vocals where we felt it really needed it. We often used to get told we should just be an instrumental band but I think this approach works well, It's quite minimalist but I really like how it's come out. We've uploaded the EP to bandcamp where you can listen/download it (it says 'name your price' but I'm pretty sure putting '£0.00' means it's free) [url="https://wishlistuk.bandcamp.com"]https://wishlistuk.bandcamp.com[/url] This won't be everyones cup of tea of course and if you're not a fan of heavy rock/metal at all, then maybe just give the last track ('A thousand words') a spin as that's the mellow one! Thanks for reading this and (hopefully) giving the tracks a listen, overall it was a really great studio experience and I'm really happy to have finally got the tracks out of my system! Here's a little 'teaser' video we made from reworking pictures from our old album artwork [url="https://youtu.be/SOjZMC7pIxM"]https://youtu.be/SOjZMC7pIxM[/url] And a little bit of studio footage: [url="https://youtu.be/ZGNMaV2zvQE"]https://youtu.be/ZGNMaV2zvQE[/url]
