3 leaf audio has pretty nice stuff, hard to find an unusable setting on the groove regulator.
and the new-ish mxr envelope filter is pretty good too!

i've been mucking about with this over the past week, filter is tuned more for guitarists tho

I think The 3Leaf plus The EBS IQ is a good match.

So I've figured out that Two Filters plus a Wah isn't overkill

I'm also of the opinion I have the best Bass Rig in NZ :lol: or at least a set up that sounds good relative to my playing faculty

I do want an Overdrive and an Octaver
And a fretless Precision '70s
And a Hollowbody w/flats

But I think I'm nearly there.

I had some of those cheap patch cables... I noticed a reduction in noise floor switching to good quality stuff. The best bass rig in NZ deserves it! :D

I don't want cheap shit

I used to get Freedom Cables from Ryan

Where best for instrument, patch and speaker cables?

I'm a big fan of Lava cables, get yourself some kits from Mat at www.tonelounge.co.nz you won't regret it!

Yeah I did the same - I have a mix of Lava Cables and Planet Waves solderless across my guitar and bass boards. If i could start all again I'd just stick with Lava (much lower profile and more flexible once made).

You can see how damn huge the Planet Waves ends are in the pic of my board above! They're the blueish ones, like the one going into my DI/Preamp. The small silver ended one is a lava cable.

MS-3 in action for bass if you're interested!

https://soundcloud.com/battleforendor

These were recorded DI, but they are Bass > Boss MS-3 > Mesa Boogie Subway DI Preamp > Interface (then with a cabinet impulse slapped on in Logic)

"Ode" is the bass overdrive on the MS-3 (which I've since relegated after getting a Darkglass B3k clone), and Tacklebox is a patch with flange, delay, reverb etc.

I've got one, they're good.
