That’s funny. My mum has a story exactly the same as that. Dad, is that you?

You’ve opened a Pandora’s Box. Be wary, lest it consumes you, haha

The best cheap tuner available atm is a used Korg Pitchblack. They go for as little as £25 on the 2nd hand market, they’re very reliable and well built, good clear and bright display with multiple display modes, and detection accuracy within ± 1 cent (same spec as the most expensive top-end pedal tuners). It’s one of the most undervalued pedals doing the rounds at present. I just sold one for a paltry £30. The only reason I sold it (after a decade of reliable use) was to get the new Pitchblack with the switchable buffer. In terms of specification, functionality, and overall quality, I see this as the best tuner option for anyone on a budget.

Covers bands - are they just parasites? (& how PRS works)
Fionn replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
I’ve been in covers bands in the past. Yes, we were parasites. -
Here’s a photo of it with a 130. There were also two sets of brass saddles with mine, wide and narrow. Well designed to accommodate the suspension bridge cable string set …

A Hipshot Kickass 4 will take them. I just had a 4-string bass set up correctly in B-E-A-D with one. With the Kickass there are two sets of intonation screws, one set short, one set long. If you use the bridge B-E-A-D tuning, use the short screws and you’re fine. The tracks on the bridge are long enough to accommodate both tunings.

My current board… Buffer/ Tuner/ Mute at the front (with mutable parallel dry signal from the parallel output of the Paradriver) … Then stackable gain stages, Overdrive > Fuzz > Distortion (this board is all about the dirt really) … A touch of space (reverb) … Compression at minimal settings (only bites when digging clean and the dirt isn’t doing the compression) … End of chain EQ/ HPF/ LPF/ DI from the Q strip. This is essentially an ‘ampless’ set up. The front of chain dry parallel signal and end of chain DI both go to the desk, the other end of chain output for additional monitor (power amp/ cabs) if necessary.

This was indeed the bass that paired with that amp! I played my first gigs in my first band with that exact combination. I had graduated to those from my starter kit, a nasty p-bass copy and a nastier little combo. I was so proud of this upgraded gear. It was the first of me really figuring out the kind of sound I wanted. Such happy innocent times, haha.

Maison RBA-380 I’ve had this since I was a teenager (it’s from the 90’s), but the mass clearout has no room for sentimentality … Nice player for a cheaper bass. Everything works as it should. Set up to play. Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, active electronics, brass nut, newish strings. I’ll take the neck off to post. I imagine that will cost about £15-£20

The MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe is an amazing pedal. So rich and musical, with a lot of control options. The thing I loved most about it was the ability to craft exactly where in the frequency range the effect sits, thus being very mix-adaptive (the crossover helps too). So many chorus pedals cause a bass to be lost in the mix at subtle settings, but not this one. I have regret about selling it. I’ll pick up another at some point.
