I'm looking for a good envelope filter too - there was one I used years ago in a band that was borrowed and it had a maaaasive sweep(did't always have to be, but it had the widest range I've ever heard of one), the ones I've used since aren't like that. I think it was a DOD but this was about 10 years ago before I knew/ cared much about gear.

Two octaves up is a hard one...either a whammy or some kind of pitch shifter, but most will sound really metallic and fake...or you could check out an Electro Harmonix Pog Or Hog, good reputation but those a pricey.

What does an envelope filter actually do?

Uhh... I cant be bothered to explain, but its kind of like an Auto-Wah


The mistress isnt big! Its hardly bigger than a Muff! Get a whammy, Small Stone, Lovetone Meatball (If you have the money, if not get a Q tron or a Bass Balls, that thing is mean) And yey, go for the Whammy

It sweeps a filter to the intensity of your pick attack.

haha, Buzzo,

i don't wanna end up like that youtoob 'TOOLbassplayer' (with all respect, i did enjoy his chancellor pedalboard tour)
esp. with a whammy there... i dunno, my band does sound a bit tool-ish, it's bass driven rock after all, with some technical stuff here and there, people have told me that my sound' (whatever that is) reminds them of tool, it's a compliment because i like tool, but then again, it's just unavoidable, i have lots of treble in my settings (max actually), lots of dirt in certain parts, play with a plectrum most of the time (after three non-plectrum-years, haha) and my playing can be..erm..agressive, i tend to play chords (sometimes a bit too much) and my strings are never older than two months, haha

anyway.. the whammy is not a priority, also quite exspensive since i'd only use it like twice during a set, but it's nice to toy around with because you can do weird stuff with it, i'd feel like a spoiled little kid getting a new toy

so after the SA and LS i'm in the market for a flanger, delay and some sort of wah..just not a silly wah pedal..i never liked those..have tried them but they're not my kind of thing..
i really liked that guyatone bottom wah rocker, from what i've heard, and it's tiiiiny, but it's discontinued so ..hard to find..
the big muff takes up a lot of space on my pedalboard, i'd trade it for a little big muff anytime..seriously..i love the way it looks tho, but with a few pedals of that size on my board i wouldn't have any room to move around during gigs at smaller clubs and with four other bandmembers they'd prolly be stomping on my board all the time, haha...

an envelope filter sound s a bit more spontaneous than an auto wah, it responds more to your playing dynamics, then again, it's different from brand to brand, model to model, i saw a very old dod for sale today, some kind of baby blue color..i just want a wah that can sound a bit over the top when needed

Yeah DOD filters can be awesome

this model, pretty old i guess, but the finish looked more blue-ish..could've been just the picture tho..
there's a more recent dod wah that has a light metallic blue finish, i'm not very familiar with dod, they're cheap but sometimes more exspensive isn't always better either, just depends on your taste, only downer about bosses, digitechs, dods, behringers and the like is that they CAN suck tone.. but hey..

Never seen those before. The green ones are quite nice though.

I found one of these at a pawn shop today, It's alright. I think I may return it and get a Boss Bass OD instead though.

Cool. Whats your opinion on me buying a duo-sonic, Chout? Is £180 too much to pay?

what condition is it in? because that sounds like a bargain to me,

More info? Coincidentally, my uncle borrowed me his '64 for about a year when I first started...there were two different styles, and in the 60s it was redesigned to be basically a mustang without a vibrato...My friend in another band bought a reissue one (looked more like a 50's one) that seemed pretty nice for the $120 he paid for it. Seems like a good price though if it's in good shape.

It's a '93 mexican... red. Perfect condition by the looks of it. I've been looking for a cheap shortscale for a while.

Grab it, mang. Shortscales are nice and comfy.

Like this then:

This went for $230 us recently...

Yeah exactly like that, except for the sticker. I should go for it.. *fidgets*

Go for it, fucking now!

Yeah, I'm gonna go for it. Thanks for the advice folks.

Anyone buy any gear lately? I haven't in 2 days...

I did my taxes though, and I'm getting back $800...

I'm thinking about either getting an mp3 player or a flanger at the end of the month.

I think I'm gonna go for the mp3 player honestly because I'm going on a trip soon and I'm gonna need some tunes and because an mxr flanger won't fit on my board (I'm gonna have to build a bigger one.)
