The only effect pedal I have aside from the wah is the Boss ODB-3. Just tested it again right now - it seems to be in full working condition and sounding great. The batteries in my bass are brand new - changed them a few hours ago. I thought that they might've been the problem, but apparently...

It sounds perfectly clear and as loud as it is supposed to be (in accordance to how the volume knobs are turned). My bass has active pickups. It is at perfect quality when I don't use the wah pedal, and at perfect quality when it runs through the wah pedal but the wah pedal is "off". As soon...

My EBS Stanley Clarke Wah pedal is nearly a year old now, but about 3 months ago whenever I used it it started to sound "broken" of sorts - whenever I clicked it "on" I would lose a significant amount of sound from my amp (lower dB) and recently it's even started to make my amp distort it a very...

Can anyone tell me if a D'Addario EXL160-5 135 Long Scale tuned down to A (from B) 1. sounds good and clear 2. is tight enough for normal play 3. is also good for slapping and whats the overall feeling of tension?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Yes, I've already scratched her a bit - in about the first hour. She is still beautiful.

Can I put a 130, 140, or 145 on a 34" 4 string bass? I'm wanting to play a dropped A. I'm also gonna use some kind of Ibanez - can they handle that?

Thanks to everyone for their input - I'm going to browse round few shops later this week and investigate all the models I can find that have been recommended. :)

LDonnie - I haven't got any experience playing string instruments. I used to play clarinet and I can bash a few things off a drum kit. mattcampbell - since I don't have any sort of bass, I don't actually *play* anything. I've been playing a bit of korn on a down-tuned classical guitar (E...

I'm wanting to buy my first bass guitar, but I'm not wanting to start off with something low level that I'll have to upgrade from after a short time. I've got slightly under R10 000 (which translates to about $1000) to spend on a bass and maybe an amp (with the leftover cash), and I'm not 100%...
