The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
bassist_lewis replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I've been curious about Atelier Z for a while. People talk very highly of them, I'd love to play one. I like the look of this one but I have an aversion to mustangs with bridge pickups. Plus I'm low key saving myself for a Wilcock 4P-51 (once the wedding is paid for). -

Not after a gig but I'd had three school shows and a parents evening that week so I was definitely knackered 😅 -

No reason other than its particularly good pic of my Wilcock Mullarkey on the couch. -
Something to consider is that the 2 One10s will be taller, so the speaker will be nearer your ears than the Midget. Of course if you don't like the tone it doesn't matter, but it will likely sound and/or feel louder.

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

Does the colour of the tape match the colour of the pedal? -

I seem to remember my JMJ came with a set of Fender flats and they fitted fine. They were pre-installed so I couldn't tell you exactly which ones they were. -

That has happened before, but it also happens when I'm at home just plugged into my amp. I re-wired my board so every pedal has isolated power and no noise so far 🤞
-
I have not tried it with a separate supply. I will try it, but its very unpredictable when it happens. I have also noticed I've wired some of the the pedals from the distributer (not isolated), so I'll rewire them to an isolater and see if that stops the sound. Cheers!

I thought it was a power thing. I'm using the Gigrig power setup. The tuner is connected to a high power adapter (needs 300mA), which is connected to the Distributer. This is how Gigrig recommends you wire it up.

I have a Walrus Audio Canvas tuner on my board. Works perfectly well 90% of the time, except every now and again when I engage it to tune then disengage it, there is a high pitched tone when it unmutes. The noise goes away if I stamp/kick it (not the foot switch, literally stamp on the enclosure). Anyone with a background in electronics know what's going on? L

Barefaced Three10 Teaser: Anybody Know More?
bassist_lewis replied to Obrienp's topic in Amps and Cabs
I used a Mesa D800, so 400W at 8 ohms, so 2/300 at 12 ohms? -

bassist_lewis replied to Obrienp's topic in Amps and Cabs
If I was to get a One10W I'd want to be able to use it on its own, for those small gigs. I used to have a One10 and it was surprisingly loud for its size, but it wouldn't be much use to me if it was only useable with the Three10. -

How would that work when using the One10W on its own with an amp rated at 4/8 ohms? Would it just reduce the output? -
New batch of 3leaf audio Doom 2 dropped. Still in stock
bassist_lewis replied to lidl e's topic in Effects
My pedal arrived Monday and had a few days to play around with it. First and foremost, my cats hate it. They slink away as soon as they hear it. HOWEVER, I love it. I honestly thought it would be just another fuzz with a lot of hype around and I was mostly getting it to complete my 3 Leaf Audio collection. But it turns out it's an amazing circuit. It's really responsive to dynamics, I particularly like tuning the Gain knob down and getting a tube-ish overdrive. It also goes hard, with it getting octave fuzz-like above the 12th fret. And synth tones to die for. Only thing I'm not getting my head round are the X-over and Your/You're switches. I don't hear much difference with the former, and the latter just seems to give a scooped sound. What they do isn't clearly explained in the instruction sheet. That said, the pedal sounds great. PS the lettering glows in the dark. -

I have no idea about the engineering behind it but it's on their website and they posted a completed one in use on their Instagram page. I'm sure if you email Alex he will explain the science behind it. -

Alex has gone and announced they do an extra wide One10 to sit atop the Three10. Guy knows how to sell 😂 -
Anyone got any experience with a Wilcock 4P-51?

In my humble opinion, there's no such thing as an 'Amp for Metal' or an 'Amp for Funk'. It's a lot about how you play the instrument and a little bit about how you set up the amp (if at all, I personally set the EQ flat, or a dip at 300Hz). Getting one you like the sound of is more important. I would try to play as many amps as you can, and/or watch reviews/demos.
