I know this is an old thread, and I don't even know how I heard about the Polytope, but I'm glad I did. It was tough to get, but my wait finally paid off. Thanks Taylor for making the best "chorus" pedal out there. I know it's so much more. For standard practice, it will be on a more subtle...

I know this is an older thread, but I'm really wanting to get a Polytope and just tried contacting Iron Ether. It looks as though Taylor checks this thread so I'm hoping that Iron Ether and him are still doing good!! If anyone has a Polytope they're willing to sell, please let me know!!! I'm...

Hopefully some touring musicians are on here. Looking to tour USA and Europe, maybe South America and Japan. I am curious as to what most backline companies, or venues that have backline have as "the standard". What can I expect to see, and also, what is available in these areas if I have the...

Hello! This is something that my head won't wrap around for some reason. OK, so I have a Peavey VB-2 bass amp, and I am going to be running two 15" speaker cabinets. They are vintage 80's Peavey cabinets. I just bought a 2nd one, and it should be the same as what is pictured below as far as...

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Squier version of these. Those Vintage-Mod Squiers are pretty nice build quality actually. Just curious. Obviously, they're cheaper. Sorry if I missed somebody commenting about the Squier version in this thread. Thanks!

I don't see what the big deal is about playing with picks. I actually use both, sometimes during the same song. There is a sound and technique difference between the two, and it's just another tool in the arsenal. I do what I have to do to make the sound in my head a reality - and I don't...

Old thread. I have this in my rack. I can't recommend it enough. It was also used by Steely Dan, and that's good in my book. ;)

OK, yes, I'm sponsored by them, but I have to say that I really like these strings A LOT. American made (San Jose, CA) with a proprietary technology that really extends the life of the strings. Plus, they come in a cool tin. The owner, Michael is a really good guy too...

I use the EHX small clone with the EHX Bass Big Muff. Both are not always on though. They are TRUE BYPASS, so to me, it does not matter where they are on my pedalboard. At least, my ears cannot detect a difference. SMALL CLONE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBY3hEXeBCI MUFF...

I personally use the EHX Small Clone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBY3hEXeBCI

I have the E, A and G string tuners available. They are for sale.

Wow, thank you all for such great responses. My internet has been down for a few days - so my apologies for such a late response. I have NO DOUBT my technique is in need of improvement, so I will DEFINITELY start there. I DO have a compressor, and it is a great addition to my rig - but I am a...

Some of this may be technique, but I find that when I play with my fingers, I get too much of a "impact" or slappy sound, that is much louder than the notes I'm actually playing. Of course, I can EQ some of the top end off, and this largely disappears, but so does the clarity of the notes...

Hey, which ones are the "Quarter Pounders?" I also found these: Invalid Link Removed Bartolini's are supposed to be da bomb!
