[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1337612024' post='1662747'] Wait till you need a decent multicore and patchbay.... [/quote] I make do with my cheap sh*te! Although I did get a decent multi-core/loom on wheels from basschat. As I don't have sound proofing, the only way to disconnect the mics from the noise of my computer is with metres of cables!

I'm actually quite interested in the box as a whole. Why not make a sale thread "three pedals in one, will split if needs be"?

I have the red audio drum mic set and it is indeeed very versatile! I tend to buy my mics used on here or ebay, i've not bought a dodgy one yet actually the most annoyingly expensive bit for me were the stands and cables... you don't really think about them until it's too late.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1337527048' post='1661390'] Wrong I'm afraid, I wish it were that simple. [/quote] I thought that swapping the wires over on one end of a jack lead would invert the phase. I'm pretty sure I learned it at uni? EDIT: Ahhh, but that wouldn't solve the problem when the pedal is off. Surely there are another couple of wires inside the pedal you could flip over?

Funny things you've heard at a gig/soundcheck?
cheddatom replied to krispn's topic in General Discussion
Once while playing drums for a fairly heavy rock band, I asked the soundman if I could rotate the kick mic 90 degrees so that it was facing the skin instead of the side of the drum. He said "there are two ways to mic a kick drum you know, leave it alone". -
does anyone regret selling their first bass
cheddatom replied to SidVicious1978's topic in General Discussion
My first bass was a Fender Musicmaster. I had no idea what it was at the time. I'd bought a 6 string bass and decided 4 wasn't enough so I swapped it for a cheap sh*t drum kit. I really, really regret it. I'd love to have that bass back -
I do this in one of my bands but they hardly ever tell me about tempo problems. It's pretty frustrating and I have no idea how to fix it. I can play to a click but they don't really like it because there are bits in the songs where they like the drums to shut up, at which point we go out of time. for the rock band I play in (more up tempo) I don't seem to have the problem at all

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1336940975' post='1653085'] Well, they're basically a bunch of digital samples stuffed into the same box. There's no way it's going to sound good. [/quote] There are no samples of sounds stuffed into this box. It does have A/D/A conversion going on if that's what you're on about? I love zoom multi-effects. I use a lot of individual pedals too (I think my collection is at least 40 pedals) but I still gig with my B2.1U as well.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1337160658' post='1656294'] How large is 'large'?? [/quote] To be honest I was only joking. I love cheese but for a cheese/bass trade to make sense i'd have to get much more than my fridge could hold. Maybe someone with an industrial fridge could put together a call-off deal for me, but I doubt it.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1336993651' post='1653578'] The comments made, would suggest the price is too high, someone even said that very thing, I was trying to be more subtle. I think its a bit rum asking the same price for something (non-vintage), that you bought second hand 9 years ago. Compared with similar acoustic bass prices, it would appear high. You're not supposed to comment on pricing in the FS section of BC though, so I was trying to be subtle with earlier comments, as you'd asked for some tips on how to improve interest in the item. [/quote] Like I said any public discussion of pricing is cool with me as I have no idea what it's worth. I thought you may have been referring to something else... maybe Fender Acoustic Basses aren't great or something. I will re-consider the asking price in a couple of days, but I did hope that people would just offer me what they think it's worth.

I do this with my Peavey TNT (well I run my pedals full range but anyway) I have the hi output from the crossover going straight to a guitar amp, and leave the lo output unplugged. This seems to send the full range from the pre to the power section of the peavey amp giving me full range to the combo speaker. The easiest way to test is to plug a patch lead into the hi output of the crossover and see if it drops all the high end from your sound.

When I was a kid we loved cricket but couldn't afford a bat. We tried to fashion one from wood but it didn't work. The 62 strat my uncle had in his loft was perfect once we'd cut the sides off. Later, once I fell out of love with cricket and took up the guitar, I just glued some new chipboard sides on so it looked cool... what's the problem?

I'm not particularly careful when moving gear around. My basses will always be in cases though, unless they're on a stand, so they tend to avoid much damage. My amp is pretty beaten up but I don't care, it still sounds the same. I do have a rule to keep the top of my amp clear of any liquids. It's nothing to do with being precious and everything to do with avoiding serious electrical problems!

[quote name='p58' timestamp='1336471025' post='1645952'] well, I was worried with the same problem. I took some of my velcro, went to Baumax and than to Ikea. I tried to attach it to every carpet there and than something happened - 1 euro carpet for dogs solved my problem [/quote] Isn't this the perfect solution? If you can't get to Ikea take some of your velcro to a local carpet place?

With 3 pedals it's not going to take long to try out every possible combination

I bought a mic from Ian, he shipped it as quick as possible, packed very well etc. An absolute pleasure to deal with!
