hola !

lest we forget rob t's earlier contributions..

shame you have to give that gig up Nick, you were awesome. hope the 'op' goes smoothly.

what bass/amp set up do you run ? these are not e.q. pedals as such, but will make small amps sound more dynamic. hartke vxl - excellent di pedal, with bass and treble controls and hartkes own sweepable tone-shape circuit. aphex bass exciter - another budget di with low/high boost. makes a practise amp sound like a bigger rig. both will help beef up your sound, and are suitable for active and passive basses.

agreeable pop.

i knew i'd be seeing that cracking pic again.. it won't be long before people ask to buy these off you as avatars

the options i'm thinking of, like the carl martin octaswitch are too expensive. if you have a more simple set-up, then an ls-2 (or 2 perhaps?) could be appropriate. set the pedals up behind the amp, and switch between fx loops with the line selector(s). otherwise try the JJB method and learn martial arts.

anything by infectious grooves goes without saying. also the rollins band for me, the old stuff with andy weiss on bass was killer, but also later stuff with melvyn gibbs (ex-defunct) also great.

guaranteed to cheer anyone up on a winters' day.

there's some fantastic funk playing on that. we used to do a very messy medley of tunes off JCS (the l.p.) i think it's more to do with the band involved, rather than andrew-lloyd-webber though. groove vs theory perhaps ? tee hee..(runs away)..

[quote name='jonthebass' post='1032527' date='Nov 22 2010, 01:07 PM']I'm not up on what will effect just upper mids & treble but I can highly recommend the MXR M80 DI+ It sits in a band mix very well and there's loads of Rock & Metal players using them...[/quote] +1 on the m-80. i also love the hartke vxl for OD. mild od>mxr blowtorch is fun (or indeed any blendable fuzz). a split/mix pedal might be a good idea, one like the sfx job.. i'll look it up. edit [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=sm"]http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=sm[/url]

although they're not the models you're looking at, i have a compact and a midget-t which i use with my gb shuttle 12.0. you're welcome to give 'em a spin at our practise room near p'boro. PM if you're interested.
