    Damn, I've been found out!

    I'll be starting to take half of a mic stand to gigs soon...

    A body bag... ...they're great for carrying PA leads. I'll get my coat.

    Cheers Shep, I wondered if technique could have been anything to do with it, I'm a very clean player, but I'm still getting used to the G&L, and it's a very unforgiving bass, partly due to how hot a signal it sends, it highlights more deficiencies in my playing - same story with the Wal. So by the looks of it, need to improve my playing
  5. goblin
    Yeah I thought it would, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I played with the demo unit at LBGS to see what their settings were like, and it was fantastic, so I have a hunch it's partly signal related. I've not yet tried it with my Jazz so perhaps I'll give that a shot, see if it's any better.

    Hi all, I'm running an Aggy Octamizer as per title, and so far so good it's been great, but it's not been perfect. I find that it doesn't track as cleanly as I'd like it to and wondering if there's anything I could do to improve it. Signal chain goes as follows - A/B Box - Tuner - Octamizer - Chorus - Compression. I tried moving it to the end of the chain, but didn't see much improvement, and it got worse when I tried adding chorus, so I put it in between comp and chorus, and it seems to have improved things a bit, but not enough. Has anyone got any further thoughts? My basses have pretty hot signals so I'm wondering if this could perhaps be effecting it, as with my previous Warwick which wasn't quite so hot, it seemed fine.

    Cracking gig that one was! Cheers Dave

    I use Mono now, having used a leather gig bag previously. It offers great protection, makes the weight of the bass much more manageable and looks fantastic, and it sits at a nice height too rather than swinging around my ankles (I'm only a short to be fair), but like others have said, it does get uncomfortable for a while. Fortunately my walk down to uni with it is less than 5 minutes, so it's not too bad. That said, I've also walked over 2 miles with it on my back before, and it's been fine. Much better than the previous Warwick bags I've used.

    Oh and the downfall? My load is incredibly large, I get assistance loading and unloading at gigs, but at home it's not so much fun!

    A lot of the time I do sound and playing at the same time, as it's usually my PA which is in use. The key to doing it successfully is to have the desk in close range. It can be a bit tricky as I run a 20 channel desk, so finding somewhere for it can be tricky. For sound check, I always set levels quite loud, and then bring them down a bit for the gig itself. It means I've got headroom on the desk if anything needs to be raised, and there's a lot less of a worry about feedback. So far so good, whilst playing I've never had any issues. Only things like the singer asking for more of her in the monitors, which is fine, one knob does that. Spend a good amount of time studying the desk, learn it's controls inside out. It makes it a lot easier, as you spend less time panicking and staring at it, looking for something like a mid pot.

    Seconded with Beyer Dynamic, we've had ours for years. Senn appear to be pretty decent too, my drummer friend has an ancient one which just just come to me for repair from a threaded screw. Even if it's ancient, a lick of paint and sorting the thread will be a lot cheaper than replacing, and it'll see another good few years I reckon.

    New price bump, now £300

    I'm selling my 4" leather and suede Moody Leather strap, these are very high quality straps and I love it, but having just changed to a Mono strap and I have more straps than I can shake a stick at, this one's currently surplus to requirements. At it's shortest (in the pictures), it's approximately 40 inches, although you can manipulate them to go even shorter (I'm only short!), and it'll go a lot longer, though I haven't got my tape measure with me so can't quite measure how long I'm afraid. It makes playing heavy basses very comfortable, but I found the width to be a bit of an issue for my relatively skinny figure, and I lose straps, it's a bit of a fancy one to lose It's black leather with a cream suede back, it's a couple of years old but it's in pretty much mint condition. There're marks where the strap locks were, but they'll probably disappear over time, or if you put SLs on, then it won't be noticeable. The suede has darkened a little bit, but nothing major at all, and doesn't detract from the overall aesthetics of the strap. £75 + £5 postage takes it, or cash on collection is always welcome.

    Not got my own, but I tried their 'Hum Cancelling Series Jazz Bass Set' today in a 5 string MIA Jazz, and they sounded absolutely amazing. Nice and clear, VERY punchy with a nice sound. Not cheap at £199 for 4 strings / £229 for 5 strings, but if I want to transform a Jazz, I'd be certainly going for them.

    [quote name='iamtheelvy' timestamp='1393708412' post='2383678'] Ha, I saw that meeting with TM - was just behind you mate! "Hit me like a man!" [/quote] I'd been awake since 5am having not got a wink of sleep, and had just driven for how ever many hours...what was he expecting? First time round I cracked my knuckle which didn't help

    I went down this morning with a mate, had to leave at quarter to 6 in the morning, urgh! Was certainly one of the better visits though. It wasn't quite as full, and yes there was slap, but not so much that it was irritating, and I only did it once to get it out of the system (on Dave Swift's Fodera, poor thing ) Had a cracking time though, starting with being collared by T M Stevens who complained I didn't fist bump him hard enough, so had to do it again haha. Caught up with plenty of faces including Tom Kent, Dave Swift, Barrie (Molan) and the list can go on and on, but the highlight was meeting Leland Sklar... I'm a happy chappy now!

    I once had a run in with a chap at an open mic night, I'd taken my amp along and once played, unplugged and moved it out of the way, and put my bass in it's case at the side. Fast forward an hour, I was out in the smoking area catching up with a few people I hadn't seen for a while, and I heard bass... not very good sounding fretless playing. Yep, some older chap had plugged my amp back in, and also pulled my bass out of it's case and started playing it without my consent. When I confronted him about it, his response simply was "well it was there and no one stopped me, so it's not my problem"

    It's really good, and it cuts through quite well, plus, it has a preamp in it so you can plug it in. Drop me a PM as I'm looking for move it on if you're interested.

    I host an open mic / jam night once a month, they tend to vary though. Most of them will have a PA, and since they're not normally at a high level, you could be okay DIing into a vocal PA. The way I do it is I have mine as a band setup, so I'll have a trio as house band (me on bass, guitarist who sings and a drummer), and then people can get up. That means there's always amps provided, and there's a PA there too... has to be said, last time we were really quite loud

If I do, I'll chuck them in with the sale.
