So... it looks as if we finally have a set of masters for our new album that everyone is happy with, so the next hurdle is getting some copies made. Anyone have any personal recommendations? We're probably looking at getting 500 or 1000 made, and we'll need the cases and the inserts printed up and so on. Thanks. E

[quote name='MananaMan' post='407199' date='Feb 12 2009, 12:47 AM']yeah, I used a Bass Juice for a few years. Good pedal, nice variety of sounds from it. Didn't know they got a beating from BC, can't really eplain why either, seems a perfectly good pedal, if a little pricey. I seem to remember it was another pedal before being licenced (how do you spell that? I've never had to before, and its really puzzling me...) to T-Rex?[/quote] It's "licensed", because it's the past participle of the verb. 's' for the verb, 'c' for the noun. Same as practise/practice and many others. If you ever get confused, think of advice and advise, which nobody gets wrong because unlike the others they sound different. So, if you are licensed to kill, for example, you have a licence to kill. A licensing authority issues licences. Just as if you are advised then you receive advice, and an advising body issues advice. HTH.

[quote name='beerdragon' post='405342' date='Feb 10 2009, 01:40 PM']Looks nice. here's another one a bit cheaper. Unless i'm wrong it works out at about £425 plus tax?

(Seller will not ship internationally.） ...so it's a long trip to the shop to pick it up.

They do look good...but since the price is over 75% of the cost of either of my basses, I don't think I can really justify it. ;-)

[b]Feedback for user Jak1502[/b] Hi, I sold a pedal to Jak1502. He paid promptly by cheque, was communicative and friendly. No problems. Recommended. Earbrass

Speaking as a confirmed luddite, I have to say putting batteries into guitars is just plain WRONG ;-). Electronics evolve much more quickly than instrument design. If you bought or made a great passive bass today, in twenty years time you will have a great classic bass. If you bought or made a great active bass today, in twenty years time you will have a great classic bass with outdated electronics. Keep your electronics outside the bass, and you can change them whenever something better comes along with minimum fuss. Just my 2p worth.

Peavey Milestone III [url="http://www.hartnollguitars.co.uk/products.asp?id=748"]http://www.hartnollguitars.co.uk/products.asp?id=748[/url] For a while I had one of these and a Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass - decided there was nothing to choose between them in sound - except the Peavey was quieter for recording - and actually preferred the feel of the Peavey, so sold the Fender.

FWIW, I have the Pandora PX4B (for bass) and it's superb as practice tool: tuner, fx, headphone amp, amp modelling, simple drum machine/metronome, basic sampling (record a groove then play over the top of it) and all in a teeny tiny package.

[quote name='escholl' post='382771' date='Jan 16 2009, 08:04 PM']Does it only happen with the pedal engaged, or does it happen in bypass mode too?[/quote] Both, as I recall. I'll try it again tonight if I get a moment. Cables and bass could both be an issue, but they're fine when the PD7 isn't in the chain. Cables are good quality though. Thanks for all your thoughts anyway. Regards E

Hi all, Yesterday I took delivery of an Ibanez PD7 bass overdrive. Love the sound, just what I was after. But I may have a problem; playing through the PD7 and my practice amp and headphones late at night, it was very noticable that I was picking up foreign radio stations. A bit of experimentation revealed the following: Bass >> PD7 >> Amp: radio Bass >> Bad Monkey >> Amp: no radio Bass >> Behringer Bass Driver >> Amp: no radio Bass >> Amp: no radio Bass >> PD7 >> Bad Monkey >> Amp: radio <unplug bass> >> PD7 >> Amp: no radio Bass >> PD7 >> Mixer >> Headphones: no radio The combination of Bass / PD7 / Amp seems to be the one that causes the problem. My concern is that this could happen at a gig (I wouldn't be using the practice amp, but I may not have choice over what amp I use, and if it can happen with this amp, I suppose it could happen with another) Questions for the panel: Do I have a faulty pedal? Are these pedals particularly prone to this problem for some reason? Do I need to get my bass properly screened? If so, why do I only have an issue when using the PD7? Does anyone else have a particular combination of gear that causes this? What fixes it - if anything? P.S. I also tried plugging in a guitar instead of my bass, with the same results Thanks and regards, E

There's a video overview of this pedal at [url="http://www.bassplayer.tv/"]http://www.bassplayer.tv/[/url] Select Basses & Gear from list in left hand pane, then select "Multi FX Pedals" from same place: you'll see a list of compared multi FX pedals, including the Boss ME-20B Cheers, E

[quote name='Stingray5' post='355229' date='Dec 15 2008, 06:01 PM']For myself, I used to get the bus or tube and go 'up West' to check out as many music and guitar stores as I could in one day. Shaftesbury Avenue had the two-floor [i]Rose-Morris[/i] 'superstore'; [i]Guitar Village[/i] was opposite; down the street was [i]Take Five[/i] plus the dynamic duo of [i]Music City[/i] and [i]Sound City[/i] - not to mention their little brother [i]Drum City[/i] on Charing Cross Road where [i]Maccari's[/i] also still are today. Right around the corner on New Compton Street there was the small [i]Orange[/i] shop. Denmark Street had [i]Andy's[/i], of course, plus [i]Roka's[/i] and later on [i]Rod Argent's Keyboards[/i] and [i]Hank's[/i]. (Can't remember a couple or so others here!?).[/quote] Of course, when I was a lad it was all just fields. But try telling that to the young people of today....

Very good for sustain, apparently, but not as mellow a tone as Afghani black.

Visited the folks last weekend, and as usual took a bass over and had a session with my Dad (he plays the organ). Afterwards couldn't get "Getting Sentimental Over You" out of my head, so on Tuesday lunchtime popped out of the office in search of a Tommy Dorsey CD. Music shops round here are a bit crap, and I didn't find it. Instead came away with the new Bellowhead CD (Xmas prezzie for [s]myself[/s] my other half) and a Columbia Jazz profiles CD of Duke Ellington, which kicks off with a storming (1960?) version of "Take The 'A' Train" that I'd never heard before. So now I can't get that out of my head either. Rats.

[quote name='Currrls' post='342365' date='Dec 1 2008, 09:01 PM']as much as i try i just can't ignore the name on the headstock lol. lets face it. half of the reason for buying this bass is so that i dont have to wear something that says 'squire' on it around my neck[/quote] If that's what's bothering you, spend a tenner on some fake "Fender" decals. (eg [url="http://www.axesrus.com/decals.htm)"]http://www.axesrus.com/decals.htm)[/url] Sorted. Then you've still got £490 to spend on crack and whores. (OMG I've been reading too many of BBC's posts)

This one might be a bit too close to call: CAR: 1991 Nissan Micra - v.tatty - approx 113,000 miles - cost me approx £3900 about 11 years ago BASSES: 2 * Peavey Milestone III (total s/h purchase costs including gigbags - £100 for the pair) The car MIGHT just edge it, but I'm really not sure.
