Re: What are you gassing for?
For some reason I am hankering for a hollow body Gretsch, and I've never managed to shake my love for a PRS with a 5 way even since I passed on one a year or so ago...shouldn't have done that in hindsight.

The return of the green russian muff, and no I'm not talking about some commie hippies carpets!

Or just buy a bass muff. It's even green.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I hate the concept of "bass" pedals, are they really that different? or just a way to sell more gear? surely at most they might change the eq a bit?Single coil wrote:Or just buy a bass muff. It's even green.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Well that's what they do isn't it? Change the EQ a bit, make sure it doesn't cut too much bass etc, add a blend sometimes, etc.jeremyb wrote:I hate the concept of "bass" pedals, are they really that different? or just a way to sell more gear? surely at most they might change the eq a bit?Single coil wrote:Or just buy a bass muff.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Every big muff I've had has had a massive low end - putting a guitar through this one seems to yield either less lows or more mids. The gain isn't as mental as some of the later nyc models or the old black russians.
Putting a bass through it magically turns it into a bass pedal. It has a bass boost feature - kind of cool for guitar, but with limited usefulness - as well as a dry/effect out.
I used this feature when it was just me and my small body acoustic.
It made the weeny acoustic sound absolutely huge, so it does that too.
Otherwise it's my one stop fuzz box. Had it for years.

Re: What are you gassing for?
My current GAS list:
Pre-CBS or block+binding Fender Jaguar in sunburst
AV63 Precision bass in Sonic Blue or AV58 Precision bass in Blonde
AV65 Jazzmaster in Olympic White
Also might get a Johnny Marr Jaguar in Black some day, but I've played one before (in white) and wasn't very impressed (it paled in comparison to my AV65). Still, I love black on a Jag.

I don't think I'll ever sell that one. Too hard to find in that colour, plays and sounds too good as well.bender wrote:sunburster wrote:

Re: What are you gassing for?
Now that I know I have guitar parts in the mail, I can't sit still.
Thursday is the dumbest day to order. Don't do it.

More time in the day. Actually I'm ok with the amount of hours, just not how I have to fill them at the moment.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I just bought their Vertigo tremolo pedal, its very good.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
