(sigh) nearly 2 months now - that's a bit more than 'the next few days'. Is this project still a going concern?

two bass amps? Win!

Hello to a fellow Lancastrian, welcome on board. Paul.

Play bigger rooms .

[quote name='32Hz' timestamp='1333495570' post='1602652'] Are you using the BDDI, just to up the output voltage? or are you using it to shape your sound. If so why is the j-retro so valuable. T. [/quote] The BDDI has a couple of advantages (for me at least) it's powered by phantom power from the PA (fewer plugs is a good thing) and the 1/4" output can be set to line level even when the unit is bypassed, so yes, sometimes I use it just to boost the flat level from the bass. The East is great for having the tone controls at your fingers - the bright switch (pulling the treble knob up) is really useful for slap passages, and I don't have to bend down to play with the BDDI controls mid song. The East is also useful when I'm using someone else's amp ( shared kit at festivals etc), as I can get the sound that I want fairly quickly, which pleases everyone when changeover time is limited.

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1333451106' post='1601768'] A couple of times I've been tuning up between songs using a TU-2 stomp-box and forgotten to un-mute it when going for the opening note of the next song... [/quote] Didi that last week (except mine's a TU3. That's not important though, is it?).

well, it's here and it's not bad at all. The stacked knobs are a bit of a PITA but it's not a deal-breaker. Everything feels rock solid too, no wobbles or loose parts at all - I'll try to get some recording done over the next few days.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1333483354' post='1602460'] Of course you could always run a pre-amp pedal like a Tech 21 VT Bass pedal into a power amp. But most poweramps weigh more than your Genz anyway. [/quote] +1, I've got East pre's on both of my Jazzes and use a Sansamp BDDI between the basses and a hulking big Ampeg SVP1500 to drive a Hydrive 4x10. Great sound. Heavy though...

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1333444870' post='1601674'] Cant believe this bunch havent turned up in this thread - criminal that! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0[/media] [/quote] Beat me to it. End of discussion.

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1333402509' post='1601354'] Now that you mention it.............. [/quote] wasn't you was it?

You're both welcome to it!

Score!

I once dated a Redhead. Lovely.

Is that how you playy (sic) a Ricky then, I reckon I've been doing it all wrong!

It'd look something like this: [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Rhythm.jpg[/IMG] Playing music back particularly strumming patterns through software never sounds like it's played i real life. Notation is useful as a way to remind yourself of the main accents and pattern of a rhythm guitar part, but it's pretty limited in this respect unless you want to start notating the absolute tiniest detail - that sort of score would be very accurate but virtually unreadable to the vast majority of musicians. You could try using a 'shuffle' groove preset (if your DAW has them) to add a bit more 'life' into it though.

Hi All, I've got one of these: and I'm looking to fix it up because it sounds brilliant. I need some replacement 'Stocko' headers to connect 4 of the channels to the main busses. Anyone know where to get the 'Stocko' ones from? My searches are so far drawing a blank. [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/P4020574.jpg[/IMG] Cheers, Paul

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1333360197' post='1600405'] [s][/s] [/quote] Win. OR you could borrow Waynepunkdude's [s]Tardis[/s] Corsa.

Yeah, £30 for a cast case and a switch isn't too bad though even if I gut it to use for something else.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1333367555' post='1600568'] as al heeley said i'd imagine it has similar innards to the harley benton, beta alvin (?) and glx models. i've got a glx bass limiter and it does the job just fine [/quote] Yup, could have bought exactly the same model with a slightly different case with either GLX or Beta Alvin labels on. I got the 'chord' because it had free delivery.

I was browsing the internet last night and came across this: [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/12835098231673png.jpg[/IMG] It's a shade over £30 and arrives tomorrow. Never heard of them before, but for that money it should be alright for a backup. Looks [i]very[/i] close to the Boss ODB3. Report to follow...
