I have this pedal and it's a fantastic EQ pedal. Cycling through presets however isn't super convenient right out of the box. The main footswitch can pressed to bypass or held down to cycle through the presets. This is fine in between songs but not during a song unless you have a break to focus...

Maybe the Two Notes ReVolt? Seems to have three channels with the ability to dial each in and switch between. Can't speak to it personally though.

I played a show in the parking lot of a strip club that had a boxing ring in front of the stage with foxy boxing going on while girls doing roller derby circled the ring. It was also the middle of the day.

Well you're in luck, Gamechanger Audio makes one: Plus Pedal II

I have the Source Audio EQ2, and it is a fantastic EQ pedal. Loads of features, multiple presets, mono or stereo, and you can even use it as a wah if you connect an expression pedal. There's also a library of user presets so you can try out different curves. Definitely a lot of magic in a little...

I've have owned several Warwicks and still have my '99 Thumb BO and a modified Fortress Rockbass. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably choose the Peavey just to have something different in my collection. If I didn't have either, I'd go with the Thumb. Regarding the neck-through vs bolt-on, I...

I would start by checking the impedance settings on the input block for the respective patch(es) you're using. They can load load your pickups differently depending on the pickups. It's always the first thing I check when things don't sound quite right.

I see the H90 as being in a different category than the Quad Cortex or Anagram. Sure they're all muti-effects units but the focus of the H90 is specific, high quality effects, while the QC and Anagram are more all-in-ones with a big focus on amp/cab/dirt modeling and captures. If you want to...

Yeah Nate's demo inspired me to get the H90. Even after getting it, and downloading his presets for it, I've still gone back and listened to his demos several times. Really cool stuff.

Some good suggestions already, but I'll chime in since I've been chasing this sound for a while. What I think is really essential is parallel processing, so you can make the secondary signal sound unique from your primary bass tone. As someone mentioned, putting each signal through a dedicated...

If you really like the Phase 90 and don't want to lose the sound, pick up a wet/dry blender pedal and mix a bit of your dry signal back in. This works well for many types of effects where you might otherwise lose some of the low end or definition from your dry bass signal.

I used to have a Rumble 800 combo, and I found that the volume range of the master volume was lower than going through the built-in preamp when using the FX return as an input for an external preamp. You can likely mostly make up for it if you push the output of the external preamp enough. I...

I would have but I thought that would have violated the rules of this particular sub-forum. Thanks for the backup!

For the Stoner Rock fans.... His playing and tone are both great on their new album, Focus. I feel like the bass stands out and carries much of the album. It's big and fuzzy and sits really forward in the mix. Wally's riffs are commanding. I'm really enjoying listening to this album!

This is interesting. These essentially seems like what the IK Multimedia Arc On-Ear does, tunes the headphones and simulates monitors in the room. I haven't tried it yet but want to once it supports my preferred headphones. I wonder just how much headphone choice matters (within reason) once you...

No, I haven't owned the 700 Pro X, but I went on a similar search as you and found that the 700 Pro X were universally highly regarded but saw recommendations for the 770 Pro X due to filling out the bass end more. I do also have the DT 880 Pro which are good for reference, mixing, etc, but the...

The Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X were already mentioned and are great headphones. I'd also add the DT 770 Pro X to the list of contenders. The 700 Pro X are super flat and transparent, which are great for mixing, while the 770 Pro X have a bit more colored sound with punchier bass and detailed...

Solid plan. I had a Ditto on my board for a little while as well. My loop timing wasn't the best so Midi saved me. That did cause me go go down a Midi rabbit hole however, wondering what else I could sync up. Log story short, I have a bunch of synths and Midi gear now, and my wife wonders what...

For what it's worth, I would recommend swapping out that Ditto looper for one with Midi sync. That way you can sync the Beat Buddy and looper for absolutely perfect loops. You can also sync any time based effects from the HX Stomp. If you have extra room on the board, then you could also add a...

Same. Although they typically only do passive basses, but some people have talked them into installing active electronics. I find using a preamp pedal with my passive Birdsong suits me just fine however.

I have a '99 Thumb BO that had a very similar issue. I tried every combination of adjustments to the truss rod, bridge, and nut and tried many varieties of strings. I had a couple techs do professional setups, and I sent the neck off to be straightened. It did come back straight but reverted...

How about a Tenor Baritone Electric Cello Guitar that is tuned in fifths? The Eastwood Rivolta Duocata Tenor Baritone is the object of my desire right now.

It may not be a problem for the existing songs, but you'll never be able to bring in new ideas or have a song that leads with bass. They want a Jason Newsted.

Unless having an instrument from that specific era is really important, you could also have a Thumb built to the exact same spec through the Warwick Custom Shop. It'll cost you, but they have a ton of options and you'll get exactly what you want.

I have the Keely Octa Psi which is pitch shifting and fuzz together (with various routing options) and it sounds really good and tracks well. I do think some kind of EQ after it really helps.

I've moved to different states several times. One time my whole band moved to a new city for opportunities in a better music scene. We didn't have jobs. The first time we went there, I signed a lease on an apartment and just started looking for jobs. It took about a month. I had money saved and...

I use Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X headphones. I think they work really well. I also have a Headrush FRFR but I don't use it too much since I live in an apartment.

Preamp or harmonic booster.

I bought a 5-string bass that was a really great deal, that I didn't need, and was more bass than I wanted. I enjoyed it for a while and then sold it for more than I paid. Even if I had broken even or lost a little, it would have been worth it for the experience and finding out what my actual...

I can speak to the Rumble 800 farting issue. Yes, it does it as well. I just sold one for exactly this reason. I think the lightweight construction makes them ore susceptible to sympathetic vibrations / mechanical resonance. I'm guessing if an extension cab was added, it would make this less...

Same. This is a great exercise. Several years back, I was in a long, slow line at the supermarket and started to get annoyed. I guess the extra time allowed me to have a moment of clarity as I looked around and realized how lucky we are to have warehouses full of food that we can just pop into...

I own the Kingman and have owned several others, including longer scale. I really like them, and you can absolutely keep up with acoustic guitars if you can play loudly enough by either really digging in fingerstyle or playing with a pick. I love ABGs and think they have their own place separate...

Congrats! Wait 'till you put it through a "big"amp. Thunderous.

I looked at that and the old neck certainly needs a re-fret. It would have been a risk since some necks from this era were prone to twisting. The problem may have persisted even after a re-fret, and I would have been out even more money.

Thanks man me too! I debated with myself for two years before pulling the trigger. It was costly. I had thought about just selling it as-is. I've never really been sentimental about my basses and have had a rotating collection. That Warwick has stuck with me though. Great bass and glad I held...

I previously owned that exact Warwick RB, except in a natural finish. It sounded amazing, super tight and punchy, like you would expect from a Warwick. I did sell it however because I found that the two giant humbuckers just took up too much space when playing fingerstyle. It just felt cramped...

Sometimes, you may be able to find basses from boutique builders that are available mid-production. That allows you to give some input on the finishing touches (pickups, finish, etc.). That's how I came to be the owner of my Birdsong bass. I saw photos of it and the description that it was up...

No, I don’t believe so. They will only do a direct replacement and don’t sell necks ala carte. They put the same serial number on the new one. I had to explain the issue and send photos, including that of the serial number. Originally I was supposed to send it in to Warwick Distribution in...

This morning was a good morning. I unboxed a new amp, and a couple hours later, I picked up my bass from a local tech who installed a new neck I received from Warwick. This is a 1999 Thumb Bolt-On, which I bought new way back when. This bass had been my main bass for many years, traveling all...

It is glorious. It's my first GK. Replacing my Fender Rumble 800 Combo which I got last August. The Rumble is good, but ultimately didn't fit quite right with my current project. I need more clarity and snap of a modern sounding amp and wanted to stick with the combo form factor. The GK is a bit...
