    It's decoration time.

    Well actually the basses that were going for noticeably more on eBay were the... 'original' looking ones. I'm not saying it'd make it more valuable, oh no. But I guess people were looking for something a little different I wasn't thinking COVER the bass in taccy stuff, just decorating a...

    Earplugtings

    So, time for new gear. Ears are getting pretty bad after rehearsals, so I'm looking for protection, but nothing to go on apart from some pretty emotional reviews. I'm looking at two generic kinds (no way on earth I am getting £/$200 custom made): [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]...

    Compressor...what is it?

    EHX Bass Big Muff or Fender Sub Lime?

    I love the sound of the Bass Big Muff but there's just not enough of a range, whereas the sub-lime has more versatility than you can shake a stick at. Can the sub-lime mimick or make a sound close to the BBM?
