Meh, wanted to get a new strap but heck - 15 bucks for cliploks and 17 for planetwaves locking strap? Guess i'll keep using my current locking strap - got it for free and well, I only play 1 bass at a time...
Kinda considering the Phaser right now as well... |

Now to read up on some reviews on it...
I just don't think I really need a tuner because my ears still decent and well, both my basses go out of tune if I don't tune em like once every 2 weeks (I tune em every few days but you get the point...)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Michigan, USA | | I'm thinking about this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/...se_pid/150639/
Will that give me a sound like the song "Electric Uncle Sam" by Primus? Does anyone have sound clips of phaser pedals?
EDIT: I know that's only $7, and that's why I want it. If that thing is god awful, would you suggest the Digitech Bass Synth wah or something?

I'd call them on the phone and get them to lower the shipping price. I've done it without problem in the past... |

As for that Rocktech $8 phaser, would you guys say I should get it?

| Sure! For that price what do you have to lose? A very shallow phase can be very cool on bass, (man I'm dating myself here) I used to use an MXR Phase 45 on occasion and it was nice. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Rochester, NY | | | Meh - last nite my mom falls asleep before I ordered the EQ pedal and Phaser on her credit card - and the EQ is sold out now....crap.
O well, phaser for cheap, as longa s it doesnt add too much noise it'll be good to mess with. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Michigan, USA | | | I just ordered the phaser, YAY!

Compressor by them I heard is pretty bad - too much noise apparently.

Well, the items are going down...
And I just ordered the phaser and an Arion Overdrive, coming to a total of $23.

The compressor foot pedal looks to me like it's more for guitar solos than for bass. For bass you want a real clean studio type compressor. They have an Alesis compressor there for a good price. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Alexandria, VA | | | Just ordered the Phaser. Why not? An $8 pedal with free shipping.
I'd be interested in hearing from some of you guys who bought the Compressor. How does it sound? Does it have any utility at all?
