This thread is making my head hurt! Whatever happened to pedals where you set the knobs and stomped on?

Couldn't resist posting this at the mention of wobble bass. Go to 1:13.

They were discussed in this thread here late last year:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=102528&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=102528&st=0[/url] The guy from Source audio commented as well, I hope it's of some use. I was looking at the flanger for a while but moved on to the Line 6 M5 instead. Seems like there's a few owners of SA products on here so someone should be able to help.

What's his budget? Line 6 M5 might be an option, 25 presets which you can fill with delays and other stuff besides. I use my Carbon Copy for general subtle tone thickening (read: sloppy playing mask) and the Line 6 for more prominent tap tempo delay and other stuff depending on the song.

Apart from a blast on Finbars Shuker P, I've never played one that wasn't an Encore. Sorry state of affairs I know. I always hear the bass sound on the 1st Glassjaw album as the essential P bass tone. Maybe if I sell some stuff I'll get a decent 2nd hand one as it seems to be the law to own one.

I was going to ask how much you'd charge for an EUB as well. Good luck with the move anyway, hope you get settled and back to making basses as soon as.

I've got the Sansamp BDDI Deluxe and an MXR on the way. I'm going to try the MXR and will let you know how the 2 compare when it arrives and sell the one I like least. Lots of threads on these but the Sansamp is basically Ampeg tone in a DI box. It sounds good but colours your signal and compresses the tone a bit which is why I guess FOH engineers like it. I use mine for recording (had a few complements on how convenient it was and on the sound) and into the front end of a cheap Peavey combo to make it sound better. Never used the Tonehammer, I really wanted one but couldn't find any and bought the Sansamp instead. Typically, 2 turned up straight after on here!

[quote name='civictiger' post='1342042' date='Aug 16 2011, 04:05 PM']+1 I've used 1 set every year and I abuse them all the time, tying them up, throwing around + our drummer uses them for gigging with our click track from the iPod (not mine, his own set) They have really good bass responses for a cheaper model of earphones, and best of all you can get em for around £13-£16 on eBay.[/quote] +2 Best headphones I've ever had, come with their own bag for protection when not in use too. I paid around £15 from Ebay but watch for fakes as they're the SM58 of cheap in ear headphones.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1337486' date='Aug 12 2011, 12:12 PM']Do we want to know how you know that [/quote] I never tried it, just looked into it after Virgin and HMV both forgot to remove the tabs after I legitimately purchased Mad Men season 1 and Crysis. I had a spare HDD lying around but it wasn't dead so I didn't dismantle it, just took them back with the receipts and they removed them. Never seem to see the tabs these days.

Hard drive magents are very strong and pretty small. You can use 2 to remove those annoying red tabs in DVD cases if the shop forgets to take them off. That said, you would have to buy hard drives for this and each magnet would cost you £20 minimum....

[quote name='Arrakis' post='1331501' date='Aug 7 2011, 11:02 PM']Heres a quick pic of mine out of its sleeve minus the faceplate [attachment=86483:21052009143.jpg][/quote] I don't even want to guess what that weighs...

I've only tried one on guitar and didn't get along with it. I just got drowned out in a band context no matter what settings I used. Interesting to see it works really well on bass.

In terms of functionality, the BDDI is great. You just have to accept that it is fairly limited in terms of tone and colours your sound. I really like mine but would like the opportunity of trying out the alternatives (mainly the MXR and Agular models) before I would recommend it to anyone as a lot of people won't like it.

Bought a Line 6 EX-1 off him, he sent it very quickly and refunded me immediately when I overpaid because I can't read Good stuff!

[quote name='TheRockinRoadie' post='1324442' date='Aug 2 2011, 04:12 PM']A friend of mine said Phase 90, but it seems like a lot to spend on a one trick pedal?[/quote] How about the Phase 100 with the rate and depth controls? More flexible than the 90.

SFX Micro Fuzz? I was going to suggest D*A*M if you can find one.

Earlier Warwicks have narrow but deep necks which I find much easier to play that flat, wide Fender style necks. I have small hands, small enough I'm regularly mocked when comparing them with the hands of women smaller than me. That said, I can adjust fairly easily so I wouldn't worry unless your hands really are freakishly small. Personally, I'd go Warwick as they're really cheap at the moment and might improve re-sale wise if you decide you don't like it in a year or so. I play a '98 Warwick Streamer btw.

Mmmm, Indian Rosewood tele....

I think my amp is too big to fit on top of my vertical cab but I can always run it off the floor. Make you wonder why most cab makers don't address the problem. Would separating, for example, a 4 by 10 internally into 2 sets of 2 by 10s make any difference?
