I'm interested in people's answers to the OP's questions. Just thought I'd say that adjusting the pickup height made a huge difference to this bass for me. I've still got the stock strings and pickups on mine. I still find the sound lacking rich harmonic complexity– there are plenty of mids...

Like Billy Sheehan said in one of his bass set-up videos on YouTube: part of Chris Squire's sound are the strings on the fretboard from a low action. The rest comes from the qualities of the amp and speakers Chris Squire used- think about how much headroom is in the amp, how much distortion and...

1- Zoom MS60B (I use the MS-100BT for double duties on guitar) 2- TC Mojomojo 3- Boss LS-2 Line Selector 4- Behringer BSY600 5- Joyo American Sound

Pedals are dependent upon your guitar as well as your entire rig. The B3k seems like the opposite of what a Pbass delivers - big lows, scooped low mids and a zinging treble from the B3k. And your 2x12s are more about the mids than the super lows too. I like dannybuoy's suggestion of blending...

Some things I've learned with my recent plung into the world of pedals: Pedals depend on the tone and level from your bass. Some basses will not bring out the good sounds you hear in the YouTube demos. Cheap pedals, especially overdrives, will lack in some aspect - noise floor, tone control...

I like all the demos of the Aguilar hum cancelling J pickup. At the moment my main bass is a MIM Active P Bass Special - a P bass with active EQ and PJ pickup configuration. The J pickup is a Fender hum cancelling design. I can't say I'd ever feature this pickup - I dial in just a touch to give...

It's called a Fender Indecision Bass Special.

birminghambass, it is good to hear of your successes with modding this model. It feels like a high quality instrument - I feel glad I bought it every time I pick it up. I chose it over some U.S. Fender Precision models.

I'm pleased with the playability of this bass, which I have owned for a year. The neck profile is comfortable and the quality of the tones available in this instrument are good. But... Rather than using the active circuitry to achieve a sound, it seems like I should choose a replacement pickup...

I have the American Sound and the Ultimate Drive. The American Sound is noisy with the gain up and the character turned to the right - sounds great though. The Ultimate Drive has a huge bass response, sounds boosted, but the distortion has a harsh fizzy treble that can't be tamed. I've used it...

Would a GigRig modular power supply work?

The red light shows if an effect is on or off in your chain. But, when you are in the patch selection mode AB or ABC then the pedal cycles through the AB or ABC patches. You can't use the footswitch to choose ABC and switch off and on effects within a chain. It is either in patch select mode...

If you like the sounds and the feel of playing through the BSW, which I understand has a fast response, then you should try any pedal before you buy - if you can. I have a Zoom MS-100BT and the Zoom synths don't feel good to play IMO.

OP - it seems you like analogue synth sounds. When you describe your Big Muff as sounding like a digital synth then maybe you have specific sounds in mind. Check out 3 leaf audio products they're trying to get Stevie Wonder bass-synth tones from the 70s. Also look at some of the sounds in the...

A good EQ like the Whirlwind or the Source Audio. Can be used to revoice your distortion pedals or to make your rig suit the room.
