    TC Electronic Spark Booster. Underrated champion of low-gain overdrives

    I have a full sized spark on my board for close to a year, almost always on. Im considering getting a second to add to the same board! It has most of the tone Ive been chasing in my head. Solid state or tube amp, this thing works great. The second unit may knock the e.h. hotwax off my board...

    HBE Hematoma & Psilocybe power draw

    String overtones or dual note sounding

    Id check neck relief, pick up height, and string height from 15th to 17th fret-this is bridge height. If you went a different gauged string, you might also want to check nut height to the first fret? If youre good with a ruler and feeler gauges, you can save yourself money. You should be able...

    EHX Hot wax review

    If I were to choose between the hotwax and the green Russian, Id get the hotwax first. To me, its more useful and versatile. I play mostly classic rock covers and I seem to get more use out of overdrives than I do fuzz. That being said, I think theyre both awesome usable pedals, you cant go...

    EHX Hot wax review

    Running through the headphone jack on my subway, mostly flat, voicing 10oclock, deep and bright switches off. Also, shortscale bass with flats, I felt if I spent a little more time tweaking, Id have a tone reasonably close. I used the hot tubes side of the hotwax, sustain and tone knobs bumped...

    Earthbound Audio Iron Pig (Rat Clone)

    I just got done messing around with the Iron Pig! I ran it bass-pig-hematoma-mesa prodigy on a 115 subway. Sweet Baby Jesus! Ive been using this setup with a 800+ as well, but, as I just found out their is something beautiful to my ear at least, running through the tube amp. I wont be in the jam...

    Talk me out of buying a Serek Bass

    I received this beauty back in December. Walnut body, wenge 30.5" neck, and bubinga fingerboard. Novak pickups with diode fuzz tone. I have dr flatwounds on it, and tone wise where I have it set, think the intro to "whipping post" or skynyrds pronounced album. Its an awesome full sound to say...

    New Mesa All Tube Amps: Prodigy/Strategy Part Three!

    I noticed on the Prodigy head I'm purchasing, that the gain isn't push pull nor does it say push pull like the pictures or info on the mesa web site. Is their any benefit to the gain boost? Is the head I'm buying from my local dealer possibly a first batch? Should I ask for a new head shipped...

    Short scale tone monster

    Check out Serek Basses. I ordered a custom Midwestern, with a pair of novak bs/ds pickups and a fuzz tone built in. The bass goes from nice punchy clear to thunder of the Gods low. Jake is a good guy to work with as well.

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    Ive been doing a little reading around the interweb, and it seems this last mentioned setup can be done? Ive found wire diagrams for 2 pickups separate volumes no tone switch or toggle. Nothing really mentioning how to wire into a concentric/stacked pot with push pull. especially, no way to...

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    I just thought of another option to consider: volume/volume concentric push/pull pot as a pickup bypass? Its funny I can figure out electrical in a car, sure do have a lot of questions about wiring for a bass:laugh: Maybe Im thinking to simple about this? Id use each volume as pickup...

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    Its funny you say that! I considered thunderbird pups. Thanks! Ill tell ya what, trying to find pickups for a bass you haven't even played yet is harder than it seems. Keep the options coming! Any other options on the controls?

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    I wouldn't say too complex, its just a short scale Pbass blank waiting to be routed out for pickups. Im just trying to keep knobs an switches to a minimum. P bass and 62 jazz bass are both 2 pot+jack, jazz has concentric pots. EB-3 has 2 tone and 2 volume+jack and a rotary switch. Im trying to...

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    Roger that! Do you happen to know which bridge pickup would be closer to a fender Pbass spacing? Like I Stated Im going for the eb-3 style pickup placement, and basing off those controls. Ill be mainly using this build for vintage tone to stoner rock/jam type music. Most likely putting...

    Humbuckers and control setup?

    Hi all, I have a few questions about pickup placement and electronics. As for pickup placement, its for a shortscale P-bass body rear control cavity no pickup routings yet. Im considering 60's EB-3 style pickups and routing, either a EB-0 or darkstar in the neck, and hofner staple, EB-3 or...

    Im having the hardest time picking what fuzz I want

    The HBE Hematoma is an overdrive/boost, I think it gives out a dark somewhat tubey overdrive. 1 thing though the boost of the Hematoma does wonders with the WHSP, but thats just my opinion

    Ive been fiddling with the Wayhuge Swollen Pickle now for a couple months, by myself and in a band....< That sentance just seems wrong, anyway, I think it cuts through a three piece band well and the lows, personally I think they could knock your house over. I guess you can say WAYhuge, in your...
