How is your EQs set? If you don't have enough mids you can really struggle to be heard

I hear that Orange are planning something similar

Well I'm pleased for you even if no-one else is :-D

Last I saw, Adam Clayton was playing his Warwick sig bass? Maybe he's skint :-D

This looks different, although it still retains the company colour scheme. Initial online reports say it's really light, and, unusually for Markbass stuff, has quite a prominent inherent scoop. http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/5984/

I haven't experienced the cabs, but had a Glock head - it was a gorgeous balance between clarity and fullness. I honestly can't remember why I sold it. If I was to spend money on a serious touring rig (with roadie help), I'd be checking out the Heart Rock head and 6x10 cab

John bought one of my rackbags. The payment was speedy and the communication was great. Great chap to do business with.

Sigur Ros?

Poster and FB event for the Contemporary gig: http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/ujahm-0 [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/336771683167525/336772283167465/?notif_t=like"]https://www.facebook...5/?notif_t=like[/url]

We played a festival in August and the supplied rig was Ampeg 8x10 and big SVT valve amp (can't remember which) I felt an actual physical surge of energy in my body with each note - crazy. I'm not surprised that these are the benchmark for rock music.

[quote name='phagor' timestamp='1409224748' post='2537657'] I also have the Iron Ether Oxide. It's a great gated fuzz, and does sound very synthy with an envelope filter and a bit of chorus. Like all gated fuzzes, it can be a little tricky to dial it in - sometime it will miss some quiet notes or be glitching wildly depending on how you set it. It's off my board at the moment, replaced by an Iron Ether Subterranea, which isn't as clipped as a gated fuzz, but way more flexible. [/quote] I've just received my Subterranea today and am very very impressed. I think that the Oxide might be coming off!

We played at small Nottingham festival Medfest on Saturday. When we arrived, I was disappointed to see a sparse turnout, with a smattering of people passively sitting watching the great Mike Rutherford Band pumping out some blues crowd-pleasers. A couple of reggae acts followed and then us as the final act. Thankfully a group of friends/fans came along and we got a great atmosphere going, with people dancing and kids with too much candy floss in their systems dancing and running like mad things. My six year old daughter, Maya, had been promised last year that she could sing with the band on her favourite song 'Lollipop' so we decided that this would be the gig. It was lovely having her on stage, and she did brilliantly - she was chuffed to bits and is really proud, especially as she was very nervous beforehand.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1410162696' post='2546586'] Have you considered Shep's MP-201 in the classifieds? It's the be all-end all of expression pedals. [/quote] I bet those are two tonnes of fun, but that one has sold - besides, my new LFO is being built as we speak :-) I'll report back once I've recieved the Broadcast and hooked it up to my LPF

Thanks for that - looks like a great all in one solution. I already have the gated fuzz and the LPF that I need, and have already ordered a Broadcast.

Here's a pic from the Midlands Bass Bash, featuring Zero9 (right) and his rig.

Yeah, tempo sync would be great, but TBH I'm happy with tap tempo setting.

Well, nothing back from Robot Factory :-( In the meantime, I found The Broadcast, by CoPilot pedals, and I like it! It's got the following features: - Expression pedal plugs into The Broadcast, and Broadcast plugs into the LPF - In manual mode, the EP sweeps the LPF as normal - Footswitch to LFO mode, and LFO sweeps the LPF - EP can control LFO rate, or ratio (1, 2, 3, 4 or 0.5), selectable with toggle switch - Other footswitch is tap tempo - Range knob sets upper limit of sweep - Wave knob goes from even sweep to wobble to random craziness Can't wait!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1409830535' post='2543693'] So far I've bought Mrs Zero two ocarinas, a stylophone, and (for one Valentine's Day) a didgeridoo. There's plenty of instruments out there... [/quote] You can never have too many ocaniras ;-)

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1409674987' post='2542128'] Three other words.... Ugly As f***. [/quote] :-D I don't agree, but great post anyway :-D

Wow, lovely!
