Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

I love wahs. I'm on my second one. Never had a chance of using it in the band context. My guitarist likes to ride his wah a lot and I'm considering kicking my 105Q off my board for the third or fourth time. The damn thing is heavy and I carry my pedalboard to the practice space every week.
I wouldn't say 105Q doesn't fit doom, I usually do fuzz - wah - delay combo, works better than Morley Power Wah I used to have.

Yeah it could just be that I don't have a use for a wah, but still - I'd like to have an actual wah rather than a filter in wah clothing.
I would be down for a "mini" wah like the mini crybaby but I don't think there's a mini version for bass. Is there?
Not yet. Have heard good things about the Mini CB for the skinny strings.
...forgot to add: give me me whammy (2 octave up setting) over wah any day. 
I use my wah all the time for fills and stuff. And also as a manual quasi-flanger (I've actually had people be surprised at times that I wasn't using a flanger).
I have no shortage of uses for one in a band context. Usually very short uses, but uses nonetheless. Or long passages of using it to make a fuzz section (I use my fuzzes only for emphasized sections) more obnoxious and vile sounding.
Yeah, you can buy just the internals and have them swapped into a normal Crybaby chassis, which i think is $160. As far as I'm aware the only drawback to this is that the sweep isn't quite as massive as the Crybaby has less travel than the hulking blue giant. I was going to do that to my old Dunlop Bass Crybaby (NOT the 105Q, which I have some beef with), but found my Parachute for only like $200 if I remember correctly.
Got a picture of your board? debating buying one vs diy.
There's probably only one or two components different, not hard to make a bass wah out of a wah.

So my bluebeards still needing it's tonal bypass, I rehoused it and I'm all ready.
Trouble is I cannot get ahold of @sanfordandsonny I have his GMail and pm'd him and we'd discussed it and he said he'd send me the diagram to do it but it's been near a year.
Resent the request and a picture of mine for him to create a diagram if needed last week.
Anyone know him on a personal level or better than me and get me a digital audience with him perhaps? Or knows if he's still in action/ Or knows if he's ok?

Yes. Trademarked term for my tone and approach to playing and sound in general.Got a picture of your board? debating buying one vs diy.

I'd like to add that this essentially a tone bypass diagram for ALL muffs, something I searched for and wide for but have only found the vague, "it bypasses the tone, louder, one of the resistors and caps gets bypassed. I wanna know how to hook this mod up to a PCB with full understanding that every PCB is different. The concept is the same and I need to know where the switch lugs connect and how. Nah meen.
Got my 2000s back today from ye olde (relatively well known) vintage guitar and amp store. Retube and bias, cable swap, removed polarity switch and ground cap from the circuit, a little cleany poo and even happened to find a bum resistor off of one of the power tubes which was replaced with nothing noted on the invoice price wise. Total bill. $99. Pretty good for STL. Amp sounds great. Even quieter than before. The low end is clear and MASSIVE. A little bit more flubby with boost engaged, bass dimed and master on 2 than with he old tubes, but that will certainly tighten up at volume. The practice shrine is proper once more.
Also because some of you have expressed a satisfaction from seeing a bunch of stainless machinery, the bakery had a NRD (New Rheon Day) last week and she is finally getting put into place of deployment this week.
You are all, "pedals!"
And I'm over here like, "second amp?..."

Well me and my engineer dad spent an hour digging into it.

Here's what I'm working with and found.
That last link is within the second link, read both as it gives info.
General guitar gadgets muff pages shows the layout of various muffs, so it's basically a compare and trace.
I'll get back to you the more I uncover.
