Thanks Jimmy. Sounds like it's worth a try. I need a way to have different multiple stored sounds rather than trying to change the EQ on the bass on the fly, and having 6 presets should give me that flexibility. I tried a Tech 21 para bass DI pedal and was a bit disppointed, but from what I've...

So is this pedal a 'one trick pony'? I like the idea of 6 presets, but I don't want 6 variations of an Ampeg SVT. Can it do modern scooped slap sounds for example? Or can I get a Rocco 'in your face' fingerstyle sound? No bad reviews yet so it must be good! Cheers

You didn't like Lakland??

I have just bought an Eden 210XST to go with my Epifani UL212. The Eden goes deepest out of all their cabs (30hz) - even deeper than the 410XST! I also have Aguilar DB112's and the Eden is much more sensitive and therefore louder. I think Eden gear is on par with Epifani - just tons heavier...

Thanks guys. Very informative. I will try Linear volumes and Log tone to start and see how it goes.

I've never used the valve heads but some say they are the holy grail of bass heads. I had an Ampeg solid state 450w head (SVT 3-pro? can't remember). I was immensly underwhelmed by it in a live situation. It really didn't seem that loud and the tone was pretty average. I have owned Peavey in...

Hi, I'm building a Jazz bass and will be installing Nordstrand Big Singles. I've found loads of wiring diagrams on the internet but can't determine whether to use Lin or Log pots. Even the Fender site gives no clues. All I found mentioned was 'audio taper' but I have no clue what that refers...

You can use Active EMGs with Audere preamps - I'm doing it now. It's just the Z mode switch doesn't work properly. In the mid position it is fine, in the neck direction it is too percussive and has attenuated the low frequencies (which it shouldn't), and in the bridge direction it is the same as...
