That I would consider affordable given all that it does. Looks like an amazing box! Would like to hear some samples on the bass, but unfortunately a quick search only gives me guitar samples. Looked for an European dealer out of curiosity and they seem to have one in Sweden, but the pedal is not...

If I did it, which I haven't, I would probably not go beyond the pickguard. But I think you should do whatever pleases you. As I see it, this discussion is no different from modding your bass with different parts, weird colors, and so on. I myself would be more worried if I had to flip a...

Yeah, the size is the only problem with stuff like the Riddle. I have no doubt it's an awesome piece of gear. The thing is I am trying to put together all the effects I (think I) need on a pedaltrain nano. So I made it kind of a rule that any pedals I get with that goal in mind must be mini (so...

Using lemon oil on a finished fretboard will most likely make no difference, but it will make it smell awesome.

Yes; I guess that makes sense. I just mentioned 1590a so that people would know what I mean when I say "mini" (I've seen people disagree over it before). Having said that, that seems like a great deal on the 3leaf, and that pedal would definitely not be denied entrance to my tiny pedalboard (but...

Hi everyone, I have this huge and heavy Russian Bassballs. It sounds cool and all, but it's kind of a one trick pony for me (it nails that Sir Psycho Sexy sound perfectly, but if that's not what you're after it just sounds too strident). It's also not true bypass. Anyway, I was looking for a...

I have an Orange Crush Bass 50. I got this after 4 years of not playing, so it's a bit hard for me to draw direct comparisons with other amps, but I must say I love it. I use it exclusively at home, and I live in a small apartment, so I haven't been able to really crank it up. Having said that...

I just watched a couple videos, and that's very close to what I was talking about! Although he clearly made it a whole style. I do the upstroke thing here and for a quick accent (almost in the same situations where one would play an open string and then hammer on the intended note instead of...

Hi everyone, I noticed that sometimes when playing fingerstyle, especially when adding a little 8th or 16th note accent here and there, I do a little downstroke using the back of the nail on my index. So, for example, instead of going index->middle finger I might go index(fingerpad)->index(back...

Thanks again for the replies. I'm definitely getting a passive DI. Good to hear. Since what I intend to do is home recording, there is no FOH to worry about, much less involving large amounts of cable (if there ever is, that means I'll be in a situation where having the right gear is...

Oh Darling (The Beatles) In the Midnight Hour (Wilson Pickett)

When I first picked up a bass, I didn't have an amp for 2 months, so I did a lot of slapping (it's the loudest!). I became reasonably good at it, and did it way too much. Eventually, for me it become just a technique that's nice to have. These days I still think it's a must if you're into funk...

(Posted this in the wrong thread before) After years of not playing, and getting into it again, here's my awkward pedaltrain nano: Right to left: Mooer Tender Octaver Orange FS-1 (engages gain on the amp; position on the board is irrelevant, and it's only there because it fits... barely)...

After years of not playing, and getting into it again, here's my awkward pedaltrain mini (edit: it's a nano... wrong thread): Right to left: Mooer Tender Octaver Orange FS-1 (engages gain on the amp; position on the board is irrelevant, and it's only there because it fits... barely) EHX...

Thanks for the answer. I was worried that I would have to compromise by having to choose either an active or passive DI with the kind of bass I will be using. But it seems then that a quality passive DI will (at the very least) never harm my signal, while the active would in certain conditions...
