left handed/ play righty, left foot, because of the way the guitar hangs

more likely to be the whammy on the boss me50. the band seem to love those things!

i'm up to 14 now. i still gas for more, normally to give me options for live work and recording. it's always the inherent sound / playability that does it for me, although the shape does sometimes have an effect. i tend to approach it like any tradesman, a chippie (Carpenter) will own more...

where are you based?

my latest board. used for my DI only church gig yesterday and night ish shot (8:30am)

like wise. the muff for gtr generally is meh for me, but on bass it's great! can i suggest you give the bass big muff a try. It doesn't seem to have as much gain available as the others, but is voiced really well for bass. It's supposedly based (!) around the green ussr muff, but also has a...

jow do you like your nano muff? i found mine lost some low end, and ended up using it for a while in a blended loop

might be worth checking TalkBass. loads of discussion about this pedal there

can i add my £0.02? the marshall is a great reverb pedal. people tend to ignore it because it's not boutique, and seen as a budget option. I'm sure the switch issue the previous poster had is the exception rather than the rule though. all of my marshall pedals get loads of use and i have never...

The M80 is a great tool, but the distortion channel can be a real love it or hate it deal. the key is found in the blend control. I use the blended drive with the knob around the 11:30 mark and gain around 3:00, and this gets used quite a bit for more edgy kind of stuff. All in all it's almost...

obligatory mxr m80 bass DI+ suggestion great sound, not just a clone of a well known amp manufacturer's product. has a seperate blendable distortion channel too.

EHX make some really good stuff for bass. the Bass big muff is seen on a load of boards across TB and basschat. there are all kinds of options open to you. the best advice is to try everything - if it doesn't work for you not a problem, but you might find something worth shouting about!

any geezer butler (sabbath) steve harris (maiden) cliff burton (metallica) particularly Master of Puppets ray brown, anyone that played with miles davis,
