charic

That sucks although joke is ever so slightly on them with the 2nd hand market for warwicks. I hope the feeving Gits get caught

Should be a lot lighter, Alan is incredibly helpful so I expect he may have some scales laying around. Unfortunately I don't so I can't give you an exact weight

Mines pretty weighty but I specc'd it that way. They balance VERY well though so you don't feel it. Just for clarification mines bubinga and wenge so there really wasn't much chance of it being light

Black, maple board, black blocks

I'm thinking some green a soon to arrive bass would be cool RBX6JM in teal

Nice prize!!

Just a quick tuppence Just remember flat isn't always "nice". Hence why most loudspeaker systems aren't designed flat they're designed to flatter. Most people will pick flattering speakers over accurate ones and live your pitching to the audience (unlike in a studio).

It doesn't like playing the same sample many times at the same time. I already buffer all samples twice to help with this, but buffering more samples also makes the page slower to load. But you're right, this is a bit of a problem, and I'll have to see what I can do. Maybe a set of really short samples, or optional triple buffering. /Fredde[/quote] Just a thought but there may well be a fairly easy fix for this. Create duplicates of all samples. Then using a boolean you can pick which sample to play. Example: First note: E (boolean on E is 0 = play sample 1 of E and change boolean to 1) Second note: E (boolean on E is 1 = play sample 2 of E and change boolean to 0) Third note: F (boolean on F is 0 = play sample 1 of F and change boolean to 1) Fourth note: E (boolean on E is still 0 = play sample 1 of E and change boolean to 1) Two advantages I see to this method are that you can manage your repeating note problem a bit easier and that also you get a slight inconsistancy of sound if you don't simply copy and paste the samples.

the ad at the moment below as I type is the retrovibe rv4. Try one of those instead?!

Sounds interesting! Would love to see how that worked out. Although maybe the super12 or the bigone (is that still made?) would make a better sub? Hmm barefaced PA. Hope your listening Alex!

Go secondhand, occassionally a rare bargain comes up on here

That's the beauty of custom

Hmm interesting! If I need more power I'll daisy chain two of these then instead of getting a RH750 (Yes the RH450 does support daisy chaining as does the Classic!) Poweeeeeeeeer!

Shuker?

oh dear, what have I done to this thread!!

[quote name='dood' post='1246445' date='May 26 2011, 11:25 PM']Hi Chris, first of all forget plugging in for now. I say this because you'll get much better results concentrating on getting loud clear and unmessy tapping out of the instrument amplified if you can tame all of those buzzes and rattles before you plug in. I like nice new strings for that 'ping' - some also prefer a much lighter gauge as they are easier to bend. The action on my instruments is really low with a flat board (practically no relief in it at all). It rattles badly if you dig and and play hard, so it requires a lighter and more controlled touch. So, action nice and low. Two complaints I have of tappers that will change you from a good tapper to a great tapper is firstly to concentrate on the timing between individual notes with a metronome and get them REALLY tight. Anyone can flail away in an 80's style 'widdle' - but I'd liken it to a drummer with no sense of timing - it just sounds really messy. Next up is 'droning string syndrome'. Keep an eye on those other strings rattling away doing there own thing when you are playing others. I use a hair band to wrap around the bass neck to keep any strings I'm not using quiet. When it comes to plugging in, I recommend pulling back the deep lows and to boost regions of the EQ around 800hz and 2-4Khz (depending on your gear) as it will help to bring out the clarity and impact of each tapped note. Another secret weapon to bring up the level of the lighter tapped notes is a multiband compressor (that compresses Bass, Mids and Treble separately) - even better, one that can do 'Parallel Compression' as well, such as the TC Electronic Nova Dynamics. For solo pieces I like a little chorus and reverb to give the sound a bit of width. Here's a vid with a bit of tapping and arpeggios - well - all the way through the choon! Apologies, it's an old song from back in 2000![/quote] Yes, your action is VERY low however when I finally get a 6 string (again) it will probably be very similar. I found it a bit difficult with a pick but that's going to be the prime use for my ACG

[quote name='ConnorHamilton' post='1246569' date='May 27 2011, 07:03 AM']I'm terrible at describing sounds! I'm mainly a slap player but also play a lot of rock and metal with friends so I'm looking for something that can give me a good clean, HiFi slap tone but with option to dirty it up! I've used SD QPs before and liked them a lot! I'll definately look in Wizard Mate thanks! The Audere preamps actually say there is usually no need to route as the designed to fit straight into a standard jazz cavity! I've used the ACG preamps on Alans own basses but the filter Pre isn't what I'm looking for a the moment! And yes, I'll be doing one bit at a time! Preamp probably first! Thanks, Connor[/quote] Might be a strange choice but what about a set of EMG's? Wizard will sort a sound if you can describe it though!
