    Problems with Fender MIJ Bass?

    So, I stumbled upon what might be an issue with my Fender 2013 MIJ FSR '75 Jazz. I often have issues when I play at my church with a strange cycling sound coming through the bass amp. (Sounds like a cieling fan with a scratchy motor.) I usually just chalk it up to flourescent lights in the...

    Taming the Malekko Diabolik's Volume Boost

    So I tried the volume attenuator idea this weekend and it seemed to work to perfection. I set the diabolik to where I liked it (fuzz - 9:00, clean - 2:30, squish - 8:30), and followed it with the volume attenuator set at about 60%. Really happy with the results. As it stands, I'll use it that...

    Taming the Malekko Diabolik's Volume Boost

    So, I recently acquired a Malekko Diabolik and I like the way that it sounds, but I can't stand the Volume boost that it gives my signal. I was looking for a nice blended fuzz sound (maybe 20% fuzz, 80% clean), but the controls are so touchy that this seems hard to achieve in that pedal alone...

    I appreciate the info. I'm thinking I might bring it up and see if the church is willing to purchase.

    We don't have a youth service on sunday morning, so the youth are in service with us already. It's more that there are none of them showing interest in it.

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    Thanks! I'm certainly not opposed to putting time in to learn how to use the thing, but once the initial learning curve is over how much time would be needed during the week with the Beatbuddy to a) prepare/practice a normal set list for a Sunday morning, b) setup new songs in the database.

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    Does anyone have first hand experience with a Beat Buddy pedal in a live worship setting? Please give me your thoughts on sound quality, flexibility, general integration with a team. I lead a younger, all-volunteer team in a small church doing an assortment of Jesus Culture, Aaron Shust...

    Choosing the Right Hipshot Xtender

    I have a Fender '75 FSR MIJ Jazz bass that I'm looking to get an xtender for. I bought a Hipshot BT10 because it said that these were for MIJ fenders, but the mounting holes didn't line up. I returned it. I'm not keen on making new holes in my bass if I don't need to. After doing a bit more...

    Any experience with the Malekko Sneak Attack and lil Buddy?

    I didn't think of checking if there was a Malekko club. Makes sense...:wacky:

    Any experience with the Malekko Sneak Attack and lil Buddy?

    As I've been looking at tremolo pedals lately, I found this very unique pedal. No bass demos that I can find anywhere. The guitar demos are somewhat helpful, but... I play primarily on a worship team that features bass quite a bit since we have no electric guitar or synth and the accoustic...

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    Try a light OD or preamp pedal like a sansamp or vintage microtubes deluxe for tone modification. If you like your tone, and are just looking to thicken things up, try a reverb pedal. I use a Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master which is reverb and delay. It can get muddy for more intricate...

    When I am band leader, I share lead vocal responsibilities with a female vocalist. But I usually handle the song progression and dynamics control, although much of that is determined durring practices as well.

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    Leading from the bass can be difficult. I do it about once a month at my church. The key is to have other team members that can be trusted to open songs and do transitions as directed by the leader. We have a 3.5 piece band, as I like to call it, at my church: drums, accoustic guitar, bass...

    Official Joyo Club Part 2: Beyond Thunderclone

    Got an american sound not too long ago, and I really like how it sounds direct into a board. But I was having trouble with it making my amp noisy when I plugged it in with a one spot. Anyone else have issues?

    I work for an electrical contractor who installs solar systems. I wouldn't expect that a solar system would cause these problems, although it is possible. Is the circuit that you're plugging in your rig into generated from the same panel that the solar inverter is connected to?

    Official Joyo Club Part 2: Beyond Thunderclone

    I'm new to Joyo pedals, and I'm kida excited about having a cheaper alternative to the higher priced, mass produced pedal brands (MXR, Boss, etc.) Here's my question: Is there a place where the Joyo pedals are compared to their more expensive counterparts and graded out against them? If so...

    Just a simple passive volume attenuator/mute that was made for me by a friend. Since I play on a small team with just an accoustic guitar, bass, drums, and 3 vocalists (we also use PADS by worshiptutorials.com), I am sometimes tasked with playing some lead. Usually just some textural stuff...

    I am currently using a PT mini with 6 pedals. Boss TU-2, TRex Quint Machine (new purchase), Empress Multidrive, Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master, homemade volume attenuater, and Darkglass VMT Deluxe. Powering everything with a 1Spot and daisy chain. Dispatch has its own 1Spot. I was...

    T-Rex Quint

    Ok. I was able to try the signal split and sent throught the Quint and to an Orange Dual Terror (set on the Tiny Terror channel) and into an Orange 1x12. I first tried this setup through a H&K Blue Edition 30, but the amp OD was so thin and digital that it wasn't usable. I'd probably need a...

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    Well, it's my first foray into pitch shifting and, from everything I read, tracking is the main issue. There's definitely a lag in the tracking. But it's not a deal breaker. There's definitely some useful setting when supplementing the fundamental bass sound. The trick is keeping it from...

    T-Rex Quint

    My apologies. I guess I just assumed seeing that it was a phone video. So, my preliminary thoughts on the Quint (only had 30 minutes to play with it :( Build quality is really good, switch feels solid, pots are smooth. I was surprised (I'm not sure why) at how small it is. A lot of...

    T-Rex Quint

    I wish that there was a bass demo available with studio sound. It can be hard to discern the nuances of tone through a camera's speaker. But i'm more interested in the octave and fifth up anyway. My Quint just arrived yesterday! I am hoping to try it tonight since my rig is at my church...

    Strange Question: "Colorful" OD/Dist Pedal?

    I was actually considering the Joyo California, but I wasn't sure if it would totally fill the bill. Quint is currently enroute, so I haven't had teh chance to try it. I was actually going to get either the EHX Pitchfork or the Nano POG, but when I saw the Quint with its fifth, it was too...

    Thanks for the input! I do have 2 guitar rigs at my disposal to try as well: Dual Terror into orange 1x12 cab (belongs to my church), and a Hughs & Kettner Edition Blue 30R (I own). I will see what those give. Yeah, mostly what I am looking for is low to medium gain. Guitar demos of the EHX...

    Strange Question: "Colorful" OD/Dist Pedal?

    I'm running a pretty typical Royal Blood type setup, but for a lighter musical styling: Split signal, line A through pedals to bass rig, line B through octave up (T Rex Quint - might use the 5th as well) and to a guitar rig. Here's my strange question: I am so used to looking for effects that...
