    Cheap humbuckers

    I've measure and they should just about squeeze on, not 100% about the blade looking part, but in particular they looklike guitar pickups. On one picture they look to have six magnets. Might give them a miss actually unless someone can advise me otherwise. I messaged the seller but they did not...

    Cheap humbuckers

    Got a cheap peavey 5 string and I'm looking to playaround with pickups. I found these cheap humbuckers on eBay and am wondering whether these would work on the five string? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292120045889 I did a similar thing to a p-bass style bass with a different one and wanted to...

    Digitech XBW as an envelope filter

    I've got a good Octave and fuzz sound and am after an envelope. Opportunity has come and I can get one pretty cheap. Basically only need it as an ef but would open up for more sounds which could be fun. What's the verdict on it and how is just the envelope filter sound/track?

    I want a new bass, and advice.

    Cheers for the advice guys. It was a typo, I meant 24 frets.

    I want a new bass, and advice.

    Things I like in my basses: thru-neck, 20 frets, natural wood finish, MUST be 5 string. I'm quite open to any body shape. Price range of £800 or less. Has anyone got any advice?

    Effects Chain Help: Boost/EQ-ing

    No. I bypass loop a Boss EQ and overdrive, so that I can blend my dirt/clean. The Wah/flange/chorus sit at the end of my chain. But I'll stick one in before my wah then, subtle low boost, and see if that helps. Cheers.

    Effects Chain Help: Boost/EQ-ing

    I'd say only my lows are muffled. Struggling to describe the difference... It just goes from sounding like me to having a bland characterless tone. TOO MANY buffered pedals you say? I'm sure at least my blender and octabass are truebypass. What are my options?

    Effects Chain Help: Boost/EQ-ing

    No one particulr pedal makes enough difference for me to be bothered. And any that does has levels to adjust any volume loss. I suppose my issue is that my tone from bass > amp is much nicer than bass > pedals > amp. And I'd like to recover some of that original tone back Not sure if that is...

    Effects Chain Help: Boost/EQ-ing

    Hi guys. I've got a pretty solid pedalboard together, but am finding that my signal decays a fair amount. My chain goes: Boss T3 > EBS Octabass > Barge Concepts VBF > Dunlop Bass Wah > Digitech Bass Chorus > Digitech Turbo Flange - The VBF loops > Boss ODB3 > Boss GEB7 - I use them all...

    Board order

    Starting work on a pedal board and been reflecting on my chain. Im curious to see where you guys place your octave pedals and envelope filters. Ive always placed my octabass right after my tuner... no reason why. Just wondering if people do it differently for better results ?
