    Also nothing quite like it for getting an eviction notice.

    Walrus Audio Badwater

    I'd recommend looking at offerings from smaller indi builders such as Master Electronics or Sushi Box.Some very cool bass preamps and I own a couple by each that I'm very satisfied with.

    The Epiphone Embassy bass is the best bass currently on sale and I'm tired of pretending it isn't

    For the price it's especially good.I have one, but having too much time on my hands I couldn't resist putting a Lace Bassbucker in the bridge position along with a Tone Monster preamp.Some may find this blasphemous but it's a cool little demon now.

    Would this be considered a Rick?

    Aside from those details they're just like the real thing! LOL!

    Would this be considered a Rick?

    I've been tempted with the Ali's Ric. What's your take? You bought 2 so I'd assume you like them.The pix look good.

    My preamp bender: A Journal.

    Fair enough.I was crazy for it at first,but I'll admit it's lost a bit of it's luster over time.I'm finding myself using less grit in my old age, using clean tone more and more.I search for the perfect round and fat tone though I question wether I'll ever be satisfied.Lately I have been...

    My preamp bender: A Journal.

    Hey preamp pals, It's been a while since I last posted here but as I see some things comfortably never change.I told myself I was done with the preamps pedal type thing,but look what forced me to give it a home.@el murdocque ,your new Broughton is a killer, I've had the gas for it for a long time.

    Original Bands? Why?

    I've played most of my life and in about every type of band except jazz or disco.I love the band experience especially gigging but the most enjoyable time I had was playing in original bands.

    Best sub $1000 bass that still gets respect?

    Like someone said earlier,any Schecter - LTD at around 700 bucks would be totally suitable. At an even lower price I'd recommend the Epiphone Embassy Pro, around $400 and comes in some good looking finishes.I got the Almond and really like the sound,look and playability.There's a couple of...

    The Spaceman Club

    Good job. It'd be hard making that combo sound bad.

    How to play the same fret on a different string?

    I have taught myself to bar two frets with the pads of any one finger.As you gather more experience you should be able to also.For now do which ever finger works for you.

    Please help

    I'm back to let you know how it's going.I had to get away from things for a bit or my mind was going to freeze up.Anyway in the meantime I obtained a Morley Mix ab/y switcher and that was easy enough to get the 2 amp thing going.And it is a fun and interesting sound.The Tyler does indeed work as...

    Orange's Bass Butler vs Walrus’ Badwater

    I'm a bit of a preamp freak and own more than I care to admit.The Bass Butler is one of them and I can surely recommend it.It does the faux biamp thing well,the distortion sounds good as does the clean settings.If you need one preamp for all your needs you could do a lot worse.
