I think the title explains it all - I'm looking for a bass friendly flanger that will make this jet sound as seen in "The Year Punk Broke" movie.
For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ2FS53ySgU
Thanks in advance! |

I guess I should take a listen to it. I was speaking mostly of his post-Dinosaur stuff like Folk Implosion and Sebadoh. |

...and MXR Flanger is a tad too expensive...
...and Electric Mistress isn't even available in shops around here...
Any cheaper alternatives?

There's no way we can tell you what they have there. |

you could order the electric mistress from either thomann.de or musicstore.de, I've dealt with both shops before and they are ok. and Germany - Poland shouldn't be too much shipping, and since you're in the EU now, no taxes!
take care
