"Maybe one amp with two separate channel is what Andrew talk about"

Yes, that's what I meant. The guitar player in my band runs two lines into both channels of his Hiwatt and leaves one completely clean and put his distortion on the other line. It sounds far better than just running a single line ...

Polywebs have a thicker coating than nanowebs and they 're affected by the coating, while nano's are more like regular strings. I don't like nano's, but i love polywebs. The coating protecting the string is one thing, but they sound different to me and I think they sound great. The low end on them ...

And how do you use it? Two amps? double input on one?

What does everyone think this is really worth?

A few months back he sold his main Killer Dwarves amp on ebay too- a Hiwatt DR201. Man, he must've had great tone!!

Given that 4004 players often comment on the darker tone of these basses an ebony board could work both for looks and sound.

Nice looking bass.

that sound great. really growly. did you use an amp, or go direct?

your thinking is probably right in most cases Mark, but John Hall stated on the ric site forum that any company offering an arrival date on a ric is full of it because ric doesn't offer ETA dates to their sellers.

okay, thanks!

now it all makes a bit more sense. so i wonder if that is my bass that popped up last week in the bottom right corner...?

"Andrew, Could you tell me more about the Budda Phatbass? I've looked at it many times but I always end up getting scared away by the cost.
Thanks for your time,
Bob"

Hi Bob,
The phatbass is a great pedal at giving you a really warm, natural sounding distortion. it sounds the most like an ...
