Hi all, I've been playing into a BOSS BR600 recording studio and have taken a shine to one of the effects on there. It's named 'St WACK' (on the off chance one of you might be familiar with the unit?). The effect is geared towards guitar more so than bass, accentuates harmonics really clearly...

I've been plodding away with a Zoom B2 multi-effect for some time now, but want to start building a board that is more open to more custom individual effects. What are everyone's opinions on the staple components of a good, versatile effects board? I'm thinking some kind of heavy...

I started this thread in the effects forum, but it started to veer this way a little. I'm wanting to start up a band, and I am aiming for a White Stripes/ Black Keys sort of sound. A kind of crunchy heaviness, but at the same time a little thin sounding. The setup that I am envisioning will be...

At the moment, I am looking to start an experimental band on the side. I'm thinking myself on the guitar, a drummer and a vocalist. (No bassist - controversial for this forum, I know). I'm looking to emulate the sort of tones that Invalid Link Removed and Invalid Link Removed get. I was...

Hi all, Recently I've been on a big effects bender, I've been playing round with a simple Zoom B2.0 multi effect - trying to get as big and as diverse a sound as I can out of it. I recorded a couple of songs on an 8-track with it, primarily using a guitar with it instead of bass. I really...

I live in the North East of England. I've never been to the states, so unfortunately I have no frame of reference regarding Maine or Tuscon. I doubt anywhere in the UK is as dry as Arizona though. My garage is pretty much damp free though - what about temperature fluctuation, or for that...

Sorry to be a pest, but I'm bumping this - just because the space issue is fairly pressing. Does nobody have any advice on this? Are garages good places to store this kind of equipment? I practice/gig on average about once or twice a week. Again, thanks in advance for any help anyone...

Hi everybody, Yesterday I bought myself a Invalid Link Removed, and the Invalid Link Removed to play it through. I'm really happy with the combination of the two, I think they sound great. One thing is their size, since they're seperate units - they're easy enough to cart around...

I play a MIM P-Bass at the moment, and usually play with the tone full - 3/4 sort of range. Up at the treble end. By harsh, do you mean a little bit gainy and rough? If so, that might not be a bad thing, since I like the Black Sabbath, Kyuss style bass sound. A 12" wouldn't really cut it...

Hi all, I've been playing through an old 15" 150w Ashdown Electric Blue EB150 combo (Which I believe are discontinued) for years. Here in the UK, most local music circuits are dominated by pubs and bars, and my 15" Ashdown always managed to get the volume it needed in those venues...

I think I'd be going for a thinner neck, that's one of the EB's big strengths. Long slender neck, lightning fast - even the really glossy ones. All those old Ibanez nu-metal style guitars and Superstrats used to have really nice satin matte laquers on the necks. They feel almost dusty to the...

I'd estimate about £400, so that's about $600+ as my top spend. What about the stock pickups that come in Fenders? Anyone like/hate them? - I've heard a lot about after market parts like DiMarzo split P's and Seymour Duncan do a decent variety too. I'd probably end up swapping out the...

I play an Epiphone EB-3, and have done for a while now. The main sound that I go for is a low but clear thump, facilitated by the neck humbucker that came in the bass. I've always loved the bass and have come to identify the neck humbucker sound as one of my general playing preferences, but...

A fair few threads have addressed individual BOSS products, as well as BOSS generally as a brand - I am eager to find out each of your indiviual experiences and opinions on BOSS pedals. More to the point, I currently use a ZOOM B2 - which is a cracking little multi effect, but when playing...

I'm from the U.K, which seems to make finding Craigslist bargains a bit more tricky (The catchment areas are smaller, and tend to be regional). The second hand online market is funny over here, ebay.co.uk tends to have larger concentrations of certain types of item, but not as much of the...
