I have none of those things, but I'm a darn sexy merch girl.

Mary!

I'm shallow as the next person, but I haven't thought about a color theme for my pedal board. The board itself is orange. Maybe that's it.

I never had, either, but it just happened to work out that way. I know you can appreciate that shallowness.

1. St. Catherines.
2. That's what happens when you don't shop there.

I don’t think I’ve bought anything lately that they would’ve had

Well, there you go. You should have been buying all the things that you didn't want there. You didn't and now it is gone.

The LPF part cleans up clank a lot or a little, depending on what you set it at. It seems to tighten up the top end a bit somehow by getting rid of frequencies a bass shouldn't be making anyway.

should go well with this...

It would require changes in my little pedal board. What's the use case for a LPF for a bass? Broughton's HPF would fit my black pedal with white print theme, where the red combo would not. Plus it's bigger.

The red one allows you to tune the high frequency response (aka remove pesky tweeters) for more of an old school tone, which is a similar function to a cab simulator. When I bought mine I was looking for a HPF only, but the red one came up locally and I'm pleased I have the added function. And there's a ton of clean boost available should you want/need it.

And also if I want to keep the little board that easily fits into my Gator ProGo, it might require switching from the Damnation MBD-1 to the 2.

You're on the road from misery to [pedal flipping] happiness today...

Fuel injectors?

Thanks. I'm sure you're totally right about having that added functionality, if and when needed.

And yeah, as for the pedal flipping, I have some sought-after pedals I don't use that I could flip and more than pay for the Broughton and an MBD2 or new board, if needed.

So you just run the HPF in front of everything? I've seen where several people like the LPF after the rest of their effects, so I just wondered.

Yes in front -- to prevent subsonics and hf hash doing weird things with the CatTail and flanger.

I run it right after the wireless receiver. Not that there's much else beyond the wireless receiver anyway. I'll occasionally kick in an octaver, which I don't want cut. That's after the filter. And the envelope comes after for similar reasons. Then there's the DI box and the cord to the amp. Eventually, there might be fuzz. Maybe not, though. I still have to build the fuzz and then see if I like it.

How do you find running the HPF in front of your Cat Tail affects the tone?

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Have you considered taking it to a good luthier to work that out? Could end up being a fantastic bass. I know a great one in Brooklyn, depending on how far you're willing to travel.

Brooklyn would be quite the hike for me. I'm sure the fret issue is an easy fix. The rubberband of a neck is probably unfixable though. That said, please do pm the luthiers contact info to me, in case I need someone for work on my other instruments or if the JC's neck ever decides to stop dancing. And thank you! Cheers!

 

[fasterpussycat]

Probably not a great deal to be honest, but logically it seemed the right place to put it, the CT already makes enough noise without introducing more. Besides, everything is so snugly seated in place on the board, it would be no fun to start rearranging everything.

Aside from sounding like the script for a Monty Python rapid-fire insult skit, 'ovular' used like that is definitely in the same neighborhood.

Obtuse:
annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand.
"he wondered if the doctor was being deliberately obtuse"

Similar:
stupid, dull, slow-witted, slow, dull-witted, unintelligent, witless, half-baked, halfwitted, doltish, lumpish, blockish, imperceptive, uncomprehending, bovine, stolid, crass
insensitive, thick-skinned, dim, dense, thick, thickheaded, dimwitted, slow on the uptake, dumb, dopey, dead from the neck up, boneheaded, blockheaded, lamebrained
chuckleheaded, dunderheaded, wooden-headed, pig-ignorant, log-headed, muttonheaded, dozy, glaikit, dumb-ass, chowderheaded, dof, dotish, hebete

I think my favorite is "bovine".

There's an admirable dash of Shallow you're betraying there! Well done!

 

[Count Bassie]

There will be no JC this year. It is thinkable that I may have some fortuitous family event to sponsor in the coming year, as well as other expenses looming on the near horizon, so with sigh I relinquish... I got kind of excited at the opportunity, apparently I forgot myself. It happens!
Not bumming though- I've got good gear to get it on with, a band that's getting a good buzz, kids who are looking forward to lives with promise. And I'm getting slowly out from under the deep fog of debt. Life is good.
I will wistfully kiss Opportunity goodbye, hopefully she'll be 'round again.
Meanwhile, there is THUNDER to make.
