Just caught this off SBL. Enjoyed the interview, I have a lot of time for Ed and the work he puts in for bassplayers. Was hoping Geoff would snatch the bass off him and show him how it's done [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns3U4z0VY-Q[/media]

Had Gas for A Yamaha BB1024/5 .. not anymore One day searching and luckily one came up on here.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1446492985' post='2899831'] Can't say about the round wounds bu I put Fender Flats on my peavey as the shop was out of Picatos. The low E went "soggy" in a week. [/quote] If it's a decent place you bought them from they should change them if that's the case. In my experience the string companies are pretty good when you get a duff set. and the 7350's are ok imo.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1446369830' post='2898769'] Same here. I love the thought of an extension cab, but can't think of any situation where I'd actually *need* one [/quote] You might be surprised how much more fill it gives to your sound, even at lowish volumes. A big plus is that it's also closer to ear height when stacked. In fact, I feel I miss something if I only take the combo, could be psudeo in play.

[quote name='Bass Pedal Geek' timestamp='1441129046' post='2856311'] I had the Ampeg SCR-DI on top of the list and also tye Aguilar Tone Hammer. But yes the EBS would be a great additiion as well! I'll see if I can get one at some point [/quote] I have (had) both of those and both do a great job, to my ear. Nice to hear some of the others as well.

Hi bigd1. I have the same kind of problem in a 3 piece. I have been experimenting with a bit of drive and distortion, not sure yet. Used at the right times it does seem to help a bit. (lack of skill on my part most likely) One thing I have learned is sometimes less is more Letting notes ring sometimes give it a lot more fill than going crazy with 16th's. Good fun having so much space to use .. but as you pointed out sometimes it's hard to keep the drive going. Please keep me updated.

Anyone know what real-life pedal this might be based on? Just gave it a try and love it

I might be wrong but I think the combo's are the way to go with this line. I use the 500 combo with the 210 extension and it's plenty loud enough for anything I'll ever need. They seem to of voiced these combo's really nicely, I like to sligtly drive the gain and get some nice breakup (just like the big Ampeg rigs)

Awesome. The Bizz. Enjoy. Don't want to see a post about downsizing your rig anytime in the future.

Now I have sideboard GAS!

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1444764564' post='2885815'] Oh - and have you ever thought about renting that space out between the p'up and neck for advertising! Seriously though - I will admit it is looking fine. But no more than that! [/quote] Please PM me if you ever think of selling that

Hehe and I thought there were some Fender bashers Loved me old Wal

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1444683350' post='2885122'] They definitely exist and crop up on eBay occasionally, usually they're 3TS with rosewood board, but occasionally ash body with maple board. [/quote] Yes, mine is the 3TS with Rosewood. I did a pup swap for USA's that's all I've done to mine. Haven't seen that many advertised, not sure if these were import only? .. or maybe that was the maple boarded ash that Walbassist mentioned.

I have one

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1444559150' post='2884017'] No basses don't all sound the same, but within the context of the band sound they can all be made to sit properly in the mix with a few tweaks in the signal chain. [/quote] That is more plausible.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1444558482' post='2884002'] You know, that's kind of what I was thinking when I read through this thread, a bass is a bass with your eyes closed they all sound the same . [/quote] I'm afraid I can't agree with that.

Normally one of the P's But the one with flats or rounds is the hard part.

like the advertising slogan " [b] "Eight10 - needed by no-one*, wanted by everyone!"[/b]

I did for a long while always use an EBS Comp on my pedal board to deal with the same problem you are having. I thought I had some success and didn't lose anything using very mild compression. I have just recently gone back to only using a tuner and phaser and done away with the compressor, it only comes out now for recording. They are a nice compressor easy to setup and not too expensive

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1443720036' post='2877181'] Just a minor concern...those chickenhead knobs look very easy to knock. How stiff are the pots ? (Fnaar, etc) [/quote] Hasn't bothered me so far. I do have to check the settings each time I set up tho.

After using mine for a bit now, I can say it doesn't need to go in front of my Rumble set-up (that sounds great as is) but I have used it in-front of other heads (backline) and for recording and it's been very handy. On the downside the batteries go very quickly and have noticed it's a lot quieter on a 12v power supply to a 9v. Even tho it says it can run both. Liking it a lot.

Nice one, enjoyed that and I'll be getting the album.
