For a small and more reliable take on the OC2, I think the MXR Vintage Bass Octave is a no-brainer. There are different mindsets when it comes to octave pedals; modern stuff like the pog and whammy (which I use as well) are a pretty different flavor of octave, but still fun and useful. The...

If you want to get into some synth tones, I agree that the C4 could be fun! As someone who has a ton of the analog electric-bass-to-synth stuff (octave, ring mod, fuzz, lowpass filter, etc, even some CV controlled modular stuff), it's super convenient to set up patches on the C4 ahead of time...

I actually bought this in October but figured I should post! 1999 Studio 5, frankly in somewhat poor condition (just a scratched and stained finish), but I payed a low price and it sounds+feels fantastic. I've actually been using it so much more than my other basses that I'll probably be listing...

Drove from San Fransisco to San Diego, just over 500 miles/1000 round trip, to trade a telecaster for an Aguilar GS412. Still one of my favorite cabinets, and I saw/stayed with some family in LA for the night so I think it was worth it. It must have been about $150 for gas, but I really wanted...

I was making a similar choice a couple years ago, but between the ag700 and D-800+. I was able to get them both next to each other and compared them on my own regular cab, and although I was blown away by both, the Aguilar really spoke to me and I ended up going for it. The controls and features...

I met Marek at NAMM this year, and I can attest as well that he and Agnieszka are wonderful people and build incredible instruments! In your hands the construction feels just as flawless as it looks - I've gotten to sit down with a few and they played very well. If this were a 6 string I'd...

last week I used the USP tracker to follow the truck on delivery day. He was so frustratingly close to my house (the route passed right by my house hours before delivering it to me for some reason) that I caught up to the truck asked the driver if he'd be allowed to give it me if the address...

One time at rehearsal my fingers were getting really torn up with blisters so I was sitting out a song, and had the idea to pick up an empty bucket next to my amp - fast forward 20 minutes and now my band has 2 songs on the setlist where I play some vaguely latin-ish auxiliary percussion with a...

I've had the tiny double-four as a practice amp for years, but just recently went for the bp 800 head (which I'm willing to bet has the exact same 5 band EQ they're using on this new stuff - even down to the new knob shape) and I absolutely love it. I would definitely buy this preamp in a pedal...
