    Warwick Pickups

    I'm think of dropping in a new Pre into my Fortress One, but I don't know whether these pickups are active or passive. They say 'Dynamic Correction' on them as well as the usual MEC logo.

    Enfield Guitars

    Link Removed These seem to be pretty new, I'm guessing it's enfield after the weapons manufacturer, what with the cannon logo and all. Anyways, it seems the guy from SIMs Custom has started making some nice looking basses. They've got a John East designed preamp and an 8 coil pickup...

    Pedalboard in the making

    So I am thinking of putting a board together. Signal chain: Bass (Active Warwick)-> Tuner (Peterson strobe) -> Compressor (EBS) -> Chorus (probably an analogman mini with deep mod and blend pot) -> Octaver (Micro POG) -> EBS Multidrive (May replace with a Blueberry) -> Fuzz (Big Muff Bass...

    Stupid question?

    If I leave leads in the input of my pedals, when I'm running them on battery power, will it drain the battery? It seems to on both my EBS Multi Drive and EHX BBM Thanks Darragh

    Show your Big Muff Settings!

    Doesn't matter which Muff, or even a muff clone, lets have a look at those trippy fuzz settings! Mine is a green NYC Big Muff Bass Pi Volume: 9.30 Tone: 9.00 Sustain: 1.00 Mode: Dry These settings give me a nice bit of dirt to back up my clean signal and a boatload of fuzz when I lay...

    Foul play?

    I just recieved a '99 Wariwck Fortress One today, It was advertised on eBay with 'a few minor finish blemishes' When I got it today I discovered a problem with the screw holding in the top straplock, and therefore the strap, the hole screw head is gone, it's just completely smooth, so now I...

    I wonder...

    What would a P/J config sound like if the J was in the '70's position. It's something I'm thinking about in a dual route project. Any ideas, clips?

    EBS OctaBass

    I just recieved this in the mail, and after a solid hour of fiddling, I cannot get a sound I like consistent across the fret board. When the switch is in high, and both knobs are at full, it doesn't really do anything, it doesn't seem to shift the note an octave up, it seems to just mix the...

    Slap bass riffs

    Can someone recommend me some slapstyle stuff to learn, I can play some Chili Peppers stuff, with varying degrees of success, but I'm not particularly clued up on the whole funk thing. Regards Darragh

    EBS Pedals

    I have got a Multidrive, and an EBS Octaver here tomorow. But it doesn't work with a daisy chain, well, it did for a bit, but now doesn't. :hmm: so, alternatives? Power Brick? Regards Darragh

    Subtle?

    I just bought a EHX Big Muff Bass Pi, and I love it, I also have ordered a Micro POG. The one thing my Muff doesn't do is subtle overdrive (I know, I know, it's a fuzz pedal) I have heard good things about the EBS stuff, but not sure where I would get one in the UK. Opinions?

    Yet more

    Praise for DR Hi Beams. I recently bought an MTD Heir, and playing it, I made this my new No.1 bass, over my Corvette $$. I love the feel of my 'Wick, but I thought the tone was quite sterile. Today I bought some DR Hi Beams, I have never tried these or any other DR product. I put...

    Laney RB4 Running a Cab

    Today I bought a 160 Watt Laney RB4, I was wondering, it has an 'extension loudspeaker' jack at the back, with 8 Ohms written next to it, can I run a cab off of this jack? If so which would some of you guys recommend, I find the Laney to be quite boomy, and hifi-ish towards the treble end...

    My Dilemma

    I currently have 2 main four string basses. My Corvette $$, and my recently acquired MTD Heir. Now I love both of these basses, tonally and otherwise. I plan to tune one of them B-E-A-D. So I never have to mess around with that 5 string rubbish :p BUT I know that the one I tune...

    Strings

    Could someone recommend me two sets of strings. One set for a 4 string MTD Kingston Heir One set for a Warwick Corvette $$ I can't really try a bunch of strings out to see which is the best. (too expensive) I play anything from punk to funk. I like bright sounding strings on my MTD...
