    Fretless string question

    Hi all, I want to change strings on my Pedulla Buzz fretless. Going to put on either Sunbeams or Fodera nickels. If any of the fretless players have used either or both on your fretless bass(es) can I get your thoughts on feel, sound, and tension please? Really nothing in the archives...

    A silly effects plug in question.

    Very simple effects. B3K OD;Tech 21 Chorus;MXR Octave Deluxe; 105Q Wah. The A/B is a Radial I/O. Might get rid of the Wah, don't see much need for it. So the best bet is bass into chain, chain into amp input. Wow that was easy. What about when I want to use my wireless. I don't need the A/B box...

    A silly effects plug in question.

    I need your experience with these questions. So I plug my basses into a Radial A/B box at the beginning of the effects chain (so I can use fretless & fretted). Should I plug the last effect into the amps input jack, or plug it into the effects input on the back? Is there a difference in sound or...

    Finally got a chorus pedal (Tech 21 Bass Boost)

    I agree with Silky to a degree about the slight sterility of a chorus pedal. Seems that in certain settings the sound can get a bit sterile or "metallic", but it seems that comes with certain settings only. I didn't find that in the Detune mode only, with Depth and Speed set near minimum. Oh...

    Finally got a chorus pedal (Tech 21 Bass Boost)

    Had to wait two months for the Bass Boost Chorus to come in to A/B against the MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe. Worth the wait. Has a nice lush sound in pretty much all the settings and never a loss of bass. What I really liked most was the Detune without modulation, The Boost to compensate for any...

    Which Overdrive Pedal?

    If you have the time check out the Darkglass B3K. I did a lot of research and with the help of these guys, bought one. Super sweet OD. Willl not do the fuzz sound, but can get a little "harsh" if you want. However for the most part it is a very smooth OD, and sounds great without losing the...

    What do you guys use to clean your bass guitar?

    For my older vintage instruments with the nitro coating I use Professor Greens cleaner. This is not a polish but a gentle cleaner that does a fabulous job with no damage to the finish. Professorgreens.com - Home For natural woods I follow the manufacters instructions whenever possible. Like...

    Pryamid Nickel Roundwounds

    Has anyone tried these strings? I am thinking of trying a set of roundwound pure nickel strings. TI (which I love) are not pure nickel, and the gauges are really light. I'm not even sure how much nickel the Pryamids are made of. Naturally they don't answer when I asked about the core whether...

    Thanks for saying so. I have a 105Q also and like it in the beginning simply for ease of use reasons.

    R. Cocco strings NSD so pleased

    Really great strings. The nickels have a smooth feel for a roundwound, great warm sound, and they tend to stay in tune even after just putting them on. They used to be used by Pedulla until Pedulla came out with their own brand.
