Name, Band Name, Serial Number, Date, Paint Style, Comments
Harry/hieronymous, serial # JAPAN010, 2/23/99, basic black
Picked up this older used pedal here in Kyoto. I had seen it before, but assumed it was new and way overpriced (list price for Z.Vex pedals here is $500-700!!!), was overjoyed to find it used and reasonably priced!
As for the sound? I love it! Twisted! I've been using my Fender Jaguar Bottom Master (a new version of the Bass VI) and it sounds great! Kinda clean and tweaked at the same time...  |

well, I sold my machine. and although I am sad, I made a fellow Japan-dweller happy, on Christmas Day no less!
and in honour of the occasion, I recorded one last piece, entitled, appropriately enough, "goodbye machine".
(Sorry, had to take the link down.)
Might as well give the recording details:
bass2: Gibson Melody Maker bass--> EH Black Finger compressor--> Machine--> MXR 10-band EQ--> Fulltone Bass Driver--> Roland RE-201 Space Echo--> Alembic F2-B preamp--> Protools
bass1: same as the above but without Machine or Space Echo

|

So I decided to quickly go back and re-record the bass line to "goodbye machine" using a woolly mammoth.
(Had to take this link down too...)
So now bass #1 is: Gibson Melody Maker bass--> EH Black Finger compressor--> Z.Vex Woolly Mammoth--> MXR 10-band EQ--> Alembic F2-B preamp--> Protools
bass #2 is Gibson Melody Maker bass--> EH Black Finger compressor--> Machine--> MXR 10-band EQ--> Fulltone Bass Driver--> Roland RE-201 Space Echo--> Alembic F2-B preamp--> Protools
Note that I'm using the same link - you can't hear the previous version anymore

Thanks Robzilla - unfortunately, the Woolly is the only Z.Vex pedal in my possession right now. This was actually the first time I'd used the Woolly in a while, and it was fun! I had forgotten how synth-like it can sound. I've got a few recordings on the back-burner, but unfortunately I don't have any time to work on them for at least a few weeks...
Oh, and I forgot to say, the low bassline is played with fingers, while the lead "machine" bassline is played with a Wedgie rubber pick...
