| | | | You might be able to grap a micro pog on eBay for under 150, if you're lucky. It can go 1up/1down. Maybe look into a Boss OC-2 for a synthy octave down. |

Basically I'm just trying to fill in the void when he's doing something else or even playing a solo. Not sure if that makes any sense, but anyhow that's the plan. I'm going to try a few out tonight but I woulnd't mind a few suggestions like that I'm not running around. |

Get a Boss OC-2... play higher up on the neck.
They're tricky to find sometimes. I actually like the OC-3 as well. Also maybe check out the EBS OctaBass (used is in the $140 range).

Play one octave up on the neck, and you will sport a semi all night long.... Forget the octave up pedal... Play bass. |

Play in your normal register, and you'll sport a "full" all night long.... Remember the octave up pedal... Play bass with effects. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2009 Location: Ottawa, Canada | | | Thanks everyone. By looks of it, it seems that my best option would be to go with a micropog that has both octave up and down options. I could always go with an OC-2 and play higher up on the neck, wouldn't this limit my playing options? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Louisville, Ky | | | Hmm...if you are interested in uctave up, have you checked out any octave up fuzzes such as the attack goat or the B:assmaster. They would do essentially the same deal and would probably sound better and give you more fuzz options. Then again I think the octave up on the micro pog sounds way to digital
