    to sell or not to sell..

    I would trade it in. Tone is worth more than sentiment. Besides, your only 19 right? Get yourself a nice bass and make some new memories!

    Pedal Purchasing Plan 2008

    I release so serious GAS this week :eek: I finnaly ordered a Turbo Rat and a Phase 90 - nothing to special, I've just wanted them for a while (Tax Season!). My big purchase was the HOG. I can't wait to try it out. If it sucks on bass then I'm returning it for a POG, so no sadness there...

    Chorus before Phaser or Visa-Versa

    I recently got a Phase 90 and I already had a EBS unichorus. I plan on putting these at the end of my chain, and just wondered if anyone had input on which should go first. Does anyone use a phased-chorus effect? Of course I'll probably never use the effect, but it might be cool for an...

    BDDI -> power amp

    I own a BBDI and used it directly into a poweramp for a year or two, as well as being a professioal AV installer for some years. Sending a signal balanced helps to keep the signal free from outside noise (many times picked up from near by powercables). Even though it's true that your...

    What songs cramp your hands?

    Generally, while playing shows, the rest of me cramps up before my hands will. I like to move to the music ;) So by the end of the show my back is tight, I'm out of breath, and I almost falling over from exhaustion, but my hands feel OK. I guess I need to start doing some cardio, instead of...

    Injured right before a gig?

    I broke my scaphoid (the bone that connects your thumb/hand to your wrist) and elbow in November. I play hybrid finger/thumb style, but had completely lost use of my thumb. Luckilly I didn't have a show that night, but one was looming in the not to distant future. I worked my ass off to...

    Reccomend me some pedals, please

    I would go with the Sansamp for your DI/EQ/Secret Tonal Monster. I owned one, and they sound amazing (especially for the price!). I still have it and would still be using it today, but I need to have more than 3 presets for the kind of music I play.
