    Catalinbread Antichthon

    Hey, guys. I got one of these last week and it's very bass friendly. No issues with chopping off the low end. Sounds great, is very inspiring and unlike any pedal I've had before. The textures, tones and alien soundscapes are really awesome and very tweakable (as stated) via the volume knob...

    Time to tell the truth: how much does your bass weigh?

    I know my Parker is 9lbs...I'll send the rest over soon. Eric.

    If Squier was Fender

    "I can understand why some guys might want to spend five thousand on a custom bass that looks like an exotic fish nailed to a comb, but I don't see the point." That's one of the funniest things I've heard related to the topic AND spot on, Max. I totally see what you're saying, I just WISH I...

    Worse places you evere gigged at!

    "The Wave" in Staten Island back in '87 or so. We were a Thrash band (FIRST ORDER) that got stuck on a bill with a bunch of G.L.A.M. (Gay L.A. Metal) bands...wasn't a show for us. Soundman messed with us, yelling through the mic while we were on, et cetera so our drummer started hitting the...

    The curious case of the mystery hum

    It could be humming 'cause it doesn't know the words! Just kidding. OK, hears a long explanation of possible causes: The power transformer idea stated by another above could be a source...look around outsife your pad and see if there's one on a pole right outside you house. If the...

    Is Victor Wooten right about us being underappreciated?

    That's pretty much what I was going to say...so, +1! :eyebrow:

    Best Bass For Hardcore/Metal Music

    THAT's funny. I'd go with a Ric, Parker, Tobias or Stingray if you're in the $1500 budget range. Or take the advice of others about having something you wouldn't mind catching a beating. .

    EMGs-Why all the bashing?

    I dig them...but I mix it up on my basses. I have a passive J and X2NB with an EMG PA-2 to make them as loud as my EMG equipped basses and to lower the impedance, but I've been a fan of EMG's since '86. However...I don't like active pickups AT ALL in a guitar. All my guits are passive. Bass...

    What are your favorite headstocks? [Pics please.]

    I really dig that Scott French one, too...really unique. I do love my Parker's headstock...and Caesar, the dog in the background who's more in focus than the headstock. Eric.

    RIGS OF DOOM - Ch. 3

    No pics to post of my old "Rig of Doom" but it consisted of A Mesa/Boogie Bass400 in an 8space shockmount case, atop a Bagend 18" flanked by two Ampeg 8'x10' cabs. One ampeg cab went on the other side of the drum riser That's when I was touring/playing with Slayer and bands like that...with...

    so I crapped in my pants yesterday...

    Ahhhhh, the infamous "I gambled and lost" fiasco! Good that you got through it unscathed. "A fart is but the lonely cry of an imprisoned turd!" Eric.

    A rather unusual build.

    Nice!

    Would you buy a bass blind?

    You know...I never did it before I bought my Parker "online". I was banking on the Parker rep and the dealer's rep for totally upholding the satisfaction guarantee. Needless to say the bass came set up perfect, sounds and plays amazing so it never went back! If the dealer your doing...
