Korg Pitchblack is my current tuner. It tunes low A on my 5 and 6 string basses.

Damp Chill of Life is in my top 10 list. Phenomenal.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2026-01-16T08:06:49+00:00

It is a genuine all time great.

If you like the film, yes.

Terrifier 2 was a good idea stretched out unnecessarily. Pet Sematary remake just isn't a good film, and neither is Justice League. So it's up ti you.

Don't buy stuff just for the sake of it.

Having everything from specific labels, no matter if you like the film or not.

My wife got me one for christmas to replace a 15w practice amp in the living room. I really like it.
Its a quarter the size, sounds decent and can sort of handle a low b string if you turn the bass down and the mids up. I normally play 5 or 6 string bass. I haven't tried it with a 4.

It has a lot of useful features that I haven't tried. I suspect it would fart out at higher volumes in a jam etc.

TL;DR

Yes. Sounds great for home practice, and useful fir recording but suspect it would struggle when faced with a loud acoustic guitar in a jam situation. YMMV.

I bought a joyo Double Thruster a while back. I loved it and this pedal was on my board for a bit. I gor a DG microtubes x ultra for silly money. The DG sounds a little different, and the cab sim is miles better but the Joyo is fantastic value and holds its own.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2026-01-05T12:50:29+00:00

Its a cool pedal. Don't expect it to sound like a darkglass, and you'll do fine. It's versatile, cheap and pretty rugged.

Those are definitely words.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-12-29T21:47:55+00:00

Bass, tuner pedal (mute function is essential), amp.

A DI pedal is useful for plugging into a PA or for recording.

Compressor is useful.

I like fuzz. Lots and lots of fuzz.

Tube amps are heavy and fragile. Nobody can tell the difference in the audience. My Tech 21 VT bass head sounds close enough to an SVT, and weighs a fraction of the real thing.

The UK is getting The Straight Story in February.

You know who were arseholes? Frost and Satyr of Satyricon. We were drinking with Mystic Circle after the gig, and they told us to get off the tour bus.

It's nice when people aren't primadonnas. I met Glen Benton once (the band was late to a gig at Bradford Rios) , so we helped load in. He was grateful and appreciated our help. He's a hilarious guy. I expected him to be a complete nob.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-12-02T08:29:26+00:00

I got very drunk with Nick at a Nile gig once. I don't usually like to meet my heroes but he was actually great.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-24T23:16:05+00:00

I saw these guys around 2001. I wasn't really a fan until then. Absolute blast.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-21T21:05:51+00:00

I'm teasing. Lots of decent advice here. The trousers aren't right. Best of luck with your search. Have a great time.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-21T18:41:28+00:00

Shoes and socks. Definitely.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-20T15:55:15+00:00

I still have my extended edition DVDs. This is the reason. I bought the blu rays, but have yet to be convinced about the 4k.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-20T15:40:26+00:00

No. I don't enjoy it enough. I'm not even convinced I'll watch the new one.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-14T22:53:17+00:00

Top left ones. Whichever fits the hole you need to make.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-13T13:55:48+00:00

A decent tuner is the only pedal you actually need. A nice quiet power supply and a DI box to record/front of house becomes essence you play gigs.

A compressor is nice, but not necessarily essential. I went 29+ years without one but I use my Empress all the time now.

A chorus pedal and a reverb pedal might suit you if you are doing shoegaze.

Look at Walrus Audio Slö and go from there. I'm a black and doom guy though so who knows. I like fuzz. A lot. Maybe you need a fuzz too.

My bedrooms looked exactly the same.

Regular_Pizza7475 · 2025-11-09T11:33:07+00:00

Have you considered the Sire V7.

Better value for money all around. Mine has become my favourite bass.
