Hope you don't mind if I jump in!

Personally I'd go with TC over Boss any day. I never liked Boss pedals because they are not true bypass and they are easily overloaded by a high output bass signal. TC pedals handle up to line level with ease! The only thing I don't like about TC pedals is the little foot button. It's very short and can be difficult to press.

I also had an MXR Bass Octave, but it was so noisy I yanked it in favor of the Aguilar. It sounded good though, maybe I just had a faulty one.

Hm, definitely looking into that one, Looks like a lot of variety in a small pedal. Thanks for the suggestion!

Was that the old 2 knob mxr bass octave or the new 3 knob w/ mid button mxr bass octave deluxe? I have the new one and i haven't had any issues yet. Awesome board!

Also have a look at their site demos of this phaser. Very impressive!

Thanks! The MXR I had was the latest version. Engaging the effect also engaged a 'swirling' noise that I did not care for. Sounded good otherwise, but the Octamizer is sweet as well.

Omer, how does that Forte neck feel compared to you Kramer era NS2?

Thanks man, I'm really interested to see how the neck is going to be. My Warwick I used to have only took me a week or two to get adjusted from the skinny necks of the jazz basses. Especially at the heel.

Hey all. Let me know what you think of this. Found an old CD of guitar and drum tracks from a band I used to play in. Plugged up my Mesa 400+ into my Aguilar GS412, then cranked it up with an SM57 up close. Into my Presonus Eureka with EQ and Compression bypassed, then into my Fastrack Pro, then protools. Obviously, I mixed the bass a little high for y'alls listening pleasure.

Pick, Brooklyn NS2, Cranked up tube amp, big cab. Can't think of much better than that.

Clearwave · #**769** 02-10-2013, 10:39 AM

Awesome! That bass sound won't be denied! You play with a pick?

thanks man. I'm probably about 70/30 fingers/pick ratio in real life. When I wrote that line years ago, it just sounded better to me with the pick.

Clearwave · #**771** 02-10-2013, 10:44 AM

good call.

Very NICE job mixing.

Got to love a 400+ and a 412!! Not to mention a Kramer-era plugged into it

I sold one 400+ but the other is staying for ever. Sounds great.
