    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    I'm glad to see that this thread is still alive! During the last months i managed to try a few pedals at work and i found some peace. At least, for now. I tried a ProCo RAT, a Suhr RUFUS, an Ibanez TS9, a TC SPARK and a Mad Professor Simble Overdrive. The last one was quite a blast, but was...

    Rockbass Corvette $$5 essential mods

    I'm going to buy one of those basses and this thread could be very useful. I'd love to know how the story ended.

    Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$, should i buy it?

    I'm quite happy with those answers. I was ready to read a lot less love for that bass! Where i live (Italy, but i'm talking about my friends and other musicians i know, not the country), Warwick basses, be them german made or rockbass alike, are not very appreciated, no idea why. It's nice to...

    Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$, should i buy it?

    Hi everyone! I'd like to know if any of you ever tried one of those basses. I'm falling in love with warwick basses sound lately, but most of the time i found that who has that sound i like, uses thumb or streamer or other basses WAY out of my budget. Which is not big. So i found that this...

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    I'll try that later! I tried a a bunch if pedals and settings in the last few days, mostly according to what i read here and i'm quite happy with some results. I'll probably buy a TC Spark or NUX Boost Core (which is supposed to be a Spark clone) depending on what i can find available in the...

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    So i messed a little with my pedalboard today. I tried different settings on the Sansamp and found a couple decent sounds, but still nothing i really like. It's more like a subtle "fart" then a subtle drive lol, specially on the E string. Then i plugged in my Zoom MS60-B before the Sansamp to...

    This is interesting too. I have to ask to a friend of mine about that, he did something to my bass wiring but i don't remember what.

    That muff was my first choice when i started looking for this stuff! Still thinking about it.

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    Ok, so far i kinda feel that the most popular pedals are: WH Pork Loin Grizzly Bass Lokomotive in no particular order. All of them are hard to find in italy and quite expensive (but again, i know: if you want the good stuff, you have to pay for it and that's fine. Just saying). Way easier to...

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    Price can be a problem, but it's not the bigger one. Most of the pedals named in this thread are quite hard to find here, mostly because of taxes i should pay for extra EU shipment. Also, working in a music shop that deals with used gear, it's way easier for me to try things we can actually buy...

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    They are closed for summer holidays. I'll check again in a week or so, thanks! I had to replace that tube with a TAD. That's a very good tube, not really sure i can do better with a preamp tube. I did not try a tube screamer, yet. But i tried a maxton 808 and didn't really liked it. There's a...

    Looking for a barely overdriven sound

    Blend knob is something i always look for, almost a must for me. That's one of the reasons why i was considering the Bass Soul Food. Darkglass pedals are awesome, but not something you buy "for science", just to try them. I'm waiting for one of those to show up in the shop where i work to do...

    That one seems nice too, and also way easier to find. Nice extra is the price, very affordable indeed.

    Those are not bad at all. Great idea, kinda hard to find in italy tho.
