    Pedals with Bad Reviews (That You Love)

    UAFX 1176, gets mixed reviews, I have been very happy with it as it sounds close to the plugin. I use it for guitar and bass although not on my main board.

    Electric bass duos

    Pachbel’s cannon could probably be easy to arrange for two basses

    API Select TranZformer LLX

    I happen to have both, I am moving overseas right now so I do not have access to them. They do not sound the same but they are in the same ballpark. The nice thing about the LX is the xlr out has a fixed level to the board, sounds great for recording, the LLX will need to go through a DI box or...

    A Sentimental Dilemma

    You cannot sell it, if you do not want it give it back to the family or consult with the family if they would be ok donating it to a school. I am sorry for your loss.

    Cali 76 FET comp vs Cali 76 BASS comp ???

    For a 4 string bass I would prefer to have individual control over attack and release, the blend knob can still help you getting some natural lows in. In the end I think it is a matter of personal preference.

    Diamond BCP1 - Fact or Fiction.

    It is great and imparts some sort of magic. I still use mine but only from time to time as it has a “baked in” type of sound and I my tastes have changed to more transparent compressors. Never liked it on 5-string basses though.

    Any user of GR Bass Wood cabs here?

    I have a 2x8 in wood and one in carbon fiber with the same dimensions. I would say they sound the same.

    Solo pieces or with minimal backing for event

    Hi there, I hope this is the right place to post. I was asked if I can perform at a family wedding. I could have backing from a drummer and one sax player but unlikely anything more. The other two musicians will need to receive the arrangement for their parts from me and want me to propose the...

    Modern bass (and amp) for a vintage sound

    Back off the tone control and add a little dirt to the low end. It will sound “vintage” even with roundwounds.

    Any qualms about picking up a brand new Vigier Excess 5 now that they stopped production?

    You will be fine. Even no truss rod necks can be repaired. This bass is brand new, likely many years will pass before there is even a problem. My teacher in music schooled player a vigier, it was an amazing bass. Good luck!

    API TranZformer LLX (not LX)

    I have the pedal, it is pretty amazing. You can get unity gain and api bite by using the -20 pad. You can also use it to push a passive DI and get a good line level recording level. The low freq boost is amazing, as the high frequency shelf. The overdrive is not your standard overdrive, it is...
