thanks chow. anything you had to look out for? was it really bass heavy?

I used to play with tons of pedals and processors. I got a mark II head and 4x10.... and now the pedals do nothing but muddy up what is an amazing tone. Thump so low you can feel it in your chest and gut. But it doens't hurt the ears.

rattman... i have a beand new boss GT10B... and I NEED a guitar processor... I'm trying to figure out how to make it work for a guitar... we should trade! LOL

A few more details... the style is rock n roll... Aerosmith to rage to Bon jovi. I'll be playing a Les paul thru a Peavy 4x12 stack. I don't use the GT10b for much more than compression and a tuner/volume thanks to my sweet musicman/markbass sound... so I'm learning the pedal from scratch...

Due to band member issues, I need to switch from bass guitar to lead guitar for a bit. I'm not thrilled at the idea of the change, nor in purchasing a lot of new equipment. i have access to a decent guitar amp that I can use for the clean tone, and so I need an effects pedal. Instead of...

I'm running a MM Stingray to a markBass2 and 4x12 MB cabinet. I have never liked effects, but I recently started using compression from a Boss GT10-B, and wow... it's making all the difference in the world. Fills in all the holes. I want to try adding some dirt with my Boss OD pedal, and...

I've been looking for a Akai Unibass. No luck yet. In the meantime I'm looking to find a way to get the doubling effect one octave up from my Boss GT-10B.

very useful responses, thanks! So no company offers a quality E-A-D-G-B-E solution? thanks!

i've always used Super Slinky strings on my musicman sterling, and I'm ready for something a little heavier. however, since I only have one musicman and it's my lifeblood/income, I don't want to mess it up by suddenly switching out to something too heavy. I was thinking about using...

I am a guitarist for 20 years, now playing bass. I would absolutely kill for a high B and E string when playing bass. Are there any quality (800 to 1500$) basses out that which can deliver such a configuration? EADGBE is my desire, with the standard 4 and two freebies up top. And if...

I'm a bassist in a one-guitar band that plays out most of the week. We need the thickness of a rhythm guitar on solos, and only have one guitarist. The idea has come up for me to use a HOG (or a cheaper POG) To deliver a higher octave and maybe a 5th, and then add distortion to the HOG'd...

x 100. I'll play anything in my bedroom. When I'm playing for a paycheck, standing for 5 hours a night wearing her... weight matters

i had a crappy ampeg B2Re... overheated, broke down etc... but I loved its tone a little more than the markbass2.

I saw a lot of new smaller varying size markbass cabinets out in the catalogs this month. the 4x10 is the lightest i've seen... i'm getting the 2x10 or 4x6 must be a breeze to carry.

I want a bass that plays as easily as an Ibanez, with the light body and skinny neck. But I want it to sound as good as my Musicman Stingray... really cutting thru the mix, letting me slap a bit and still sounding good on rock covers. I'm playing out 4-5 nights a week for 4 hours, and...
