stupid pedal tricks : phuncgnosis

a diy classic from Tim Escobedo.. now improved with proper reverse envelope filter by Dead Astronaut over across the pond..



no guitar in this one, just beatin' on a fretless bass a little. it indeed sounds great on a guitar into some filth and reverb, too.

please excuse my lame, white boy, no groove at all bass playing.

Phar-phreaking-out Jimi, pretty good beat you're holding down there Whitey!!

I sooo want some fretless axes... particularly somethin' like a fretless baritone 7 or 8 string guitar; I WILL put one together one day...

ANYWAYS, cool pedal action; how's 'bouts a demo of it with a guitar, both "normal" and "reverse" envelope-filter, clean and also with some touch-sensitive fuzztortion...

hi caev and lefty..

lefty, my primary instrument was upright many years ago..i hate frets on a bass.

caev, you want a 6 string neck with the frets pulled? fill it, smooth it, and instant fretless guitar...should fit any
strat-o-mo-bob..let me know. you pay for the shipping, it's yours, paddlebud!!

will try and do a guitar style demo, it sounds better on the guitar, particularly feeding a fuzz or distortion..but it really sounds alot like either the stupid pedal tricks videos for the corpulent cojones or coloursound diphonizer.

Mmmmhwhaaarrr...



Aaaaaaaaaaahhh...

so caev, ya want that neck? i'm NEVER gonna get around to using it, you're welcome to it if you wanna...

Oh, if you can find a good, loving home for it, go ahead; in the not too far off future, if you've still got it, I may hit you up for it, but right now even meager shipping charges and any other strat-o-mo-bob pieces-parts to go with it would be too much a bite on my extremely meager spendable (pretty much non-existent ) finances...

Thank you VERY much, though!

Quacky goodness...that reverse mode is awesome, sounds very sensitive. Good job there PJP

thanks harvey.

caev...i'll see what it would cost. if it's cheap, don't worry about it.

how the hell do ya ship a freekin' neck? lol

Haahh! Leo Fender's original vision for the bolt-on guitar and bass necks included an easy solution to warped or damaged necks being replacement-necks shipped out in cardboard tubes...

have to find the proper tube, i guess...lol...

It's always tubes, man!

speaking of which, i found a source on ebay for sovtek "blackplates" direct, no middleman, 10 bux per matched pair.

real nice, i'm running them in my princeton. phat loud and warm and creamy, just the way i likes 'em.

Good!
