The Bassist's Effects Line Up

[shinobi]

how many ringgit for the cat. is the cat involved in your project? does it help you activate your pedals? :mrgreen:

 

[konikonakono]

dude. that's a brand new latest Meow Pedal. To engage step once, then say bye bye to your feet. haha

 

[lordie]

i will have my new pedalcase by tomorrow sweet

how i would love to buy some new drive pedals. but lack of cash and lack of interest for my stuff on sale is putting the brakes on things. sometimes it is less the quality of the effect but rather the novelty of having a new toy that is exciting. its like having a chinese girlfriend but wanting to try a malay girl. ok bad analogy

but my stuff looks so plain compared to the booteek stuff posted. looks like i'll be sticking with run-of-the mill brands such as ehx and mxr

exactly what i was thinking off.. sometimes chinese girl, sometimes malay, and Iku's, kogal? or some bollywood types *grinz* LOL.

i need to dig in some research time on the EBS Microbass II, see if its a worthwile upgrade, nothing wrong with the Bass Attack just its GAS attach ;p and maybe an interesting tone will pop up. Thinnking of adding a compressor, a limiter, an EQ and a noise gate. the zoom handles the chorus, reverb, and a bits of modulation decently for now and it works as a volume pedal as well so that stays ;pp

pic of my new pedalcase. its an ordinary case, just that it's in tweed. i will post the insides after my deals tmr

 

[spectator]

that is a damn nice tweed casing man!!!

Where did u get it from??

 

[itzs]

if i'm not wrong you can expect to pay around $400 for a microbass2. but i might be wrong; it's probably more

now bearing in mind that its hard to qualify "better" pedals, for the difference in price that you're paying, you WANT it to be better

Davis is selling it for 480 when i went there yesterday. (lucky i got mine already, its so expensive now)

And no, the distortion on the microbass is not really an all out distortion, its more to warm up the tone than an in-your-face distortion. well, as least thats how i use it.

prices have increased since a year ago... but then it's expected, coz of inflation...

 

[konikonakono]

and off course, the oil prices.

 

[rottenramone]

wow, that's a damn sweet pedalcase!!!

ah thats nice cos all i need is something to sort of shape the tone and beef up certain areas...

 

[shinobi]

anyone ever tried a tubescreamer on bass? i auditioned many tubescreamers when i was looking for a dirt pedal last time. the loss of low end was apparent but the tone was sweet

 

[lordie]

Micro POG or POG, which one u guys prefer?

Boss DD-2 lol

 

[shinobi]

shit man... has anyone ever successfully bought anything from u-box? apparently they get snapped up in japan faster than we can do it online

---> micro POG

 

[5stringwonder]

yep bought a number of times from the ubox. you've got to drop them an email the moment you see stuff that you like. got some really sweet deals if you have the patience to go through the lot.

 

[shinobi]

time to show the inside of my new board. i had someone going to japan get it for me. it's not worth shipping over IMO, because the shipping cost will be inflated by the size of the thing. shipping pedals is much cheaper and more worth it

this is the latest pedal combi as well. i just arranged it an hour ago

bass-->

boss LS-2
---> loop A : ehx english muff'n --> e13 karaoke party
---> loop B (clean)

ehx stereo electric mistress
ebs multicomp
korg pitchblack
seymour duncan paranormal

---> amp

the LS-2 is my latest pedal which i got 2nd hand but in fabulous condition from a nice guy. i've been looking at mixers, namely the DOD 240. but i only use 2 main kinds of effects, drive and modulation. i also don't see myself ever running my effects simultaneously in parallel.

i'm thinking of putting the SEM into loop B. if you look at the picture closely you will see that loop A's volume is cut. that allows me to blast the KP. the clean is level.. for now. i will need to experiment with the blend in loud conditions which i cant do at the moment.

the muffn + KP combi isn't too bad. the muffn has a nice tone and the KP helps it cut through. but i would rather experiment with combinations like the bass blogger or el grande + e13 dark boost

not pictured is my guyatone ND-2 which i got cheap off ebay, but i've not much use for it now, especially since i can use the pitchblack as a killswitch

and... IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A REAL BOARD

 

[kerplunk182]

Oh damn, i want the pitchblack. Sobz.

 

[5stringwonder]

The pitchblack is looking tempting...maybe I should sell off my DT-10 or Strobostomp 2.
