That's exactly what's wrong with mine. How did you fix yours? I'm thinking about taking it back to the place I got it and have them do it.

I've been listening to the Chili Peppers since the late 80s. At the age of seven, thanks to Flea doing some slap into a slide in "Brother's Cup," I noticed my first bassline. If you put on any Chili Peppers' song, I could tell you what album it's off of and what year that album came out. One...

It has the Q and volume knobs on the side.

Yessir.

I heard that a local music store had a used bass crybaby, so I sent my lady after it. It's the spring-loaded job and I THOUGHT that when you took your foot off of it, it would disingage. Not the case, it just keeps your tone muddled out at the bottom of the sweep. I took the cover off and...

I'm in the Great Gatsby Jazz Funk Odyssey, so the filter is pretty integral. But it IS starting to short out and iKve picked up a Bass Crybaby. Running the compressor->fuzz->octavius->wah is kinda what I had in mind. I don't want my sweeps to sound anemic though. I'm obviously going for a...

Oh I definitely understand the innuendo. That's why mom crapped bricks :) I'm a stompbox guy, so I don't want anything rack-mountable. I though the compressor should be in the end of the chain to squeeze every other effect together and not make one stand out more than the other. It's a new...

Oh yeah, the bass muff pi is at the beginning of my chain! My mom almost died when she asked "what did you spend your christmas money on?" And I replied "a big muff pi because I need lots of fuzz!" Bwahahaha.

Thanks guys! I thought I had posted it in :effects: but I'm using the app on my Android. Muh bad. I would create a rack full of nice gadgets, but I don't get paid enough for that yet. Thanks for the help though, guys. Are the Joyo pedals crap or worthy of consideration?

Hey everyone, my chain is to the point where I think i am needing some compression. I use a Genz-Benz Neo-Pak 3.5 and I usually have the limiter turned on. My chain goes bass-danelectro octave pdeal (don't hate)-bass crybaby-mxr m82 envelope. I use a tuck n roll with two eminence legend 15s...

this guy, Paul Jackson, is using a NASTY pbass. Don't worry about Herbie though :D:D

I picked up a Geddy Lee Jazz without seeing his name on the back and it was a fantastic bass to play. The action was like butter and everything just felt natural, so I bought it. Not because it had a name on it. I respect the hell outta Geddy, but i can't say that i'm an enormous Rush fan. I...

I'm in love with this girl. Ladies and Gentlemen, Ms. Esperenza Spalding.

Hey, thanks!! I was leaning towards the Shuttle anyway, I just wanted a second opinion. Those Fusions have the motorized knobs, which i think is a liability, honestly. I've heard nothing but good things about the whole Shuttle line, and it seems to be a very affordable, high quality product...

I use a ebs bassIQ and it produces some NASTY sounds! It's very easy to tweak it to get the sound you're looking for in a live setting. the first time i tried it out, i knew that it was a keeper!
