[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='882102' date='Jun 30 2010, 04:11 PM']Yeah, recording to a PC would be nice, but I like having a certain amount of portability, so I'd need to invest in a laptop, some kind of multi-channel interface, etc etc. Not sure exactly how much all that would run to, but it's almost certainly more than it's worth to me. Could do the reverb at mix-down and the compression while tracking, but I'm not sure that it makes a difference in terms of finding the right piece of hardware for the job. S.P.[/quote] No it doesn't make a difference which is why I apologised for my irrelevant post That VMS looks very nice. It could be a nicer pre-amp than whatever you're at the moment too. FWIW I carry my PC around 'cos I can't afford a laptop setup.

why would you want a 100% wet signal? Well, if you want to add the compression after recording I suppose. EDIT: I mean if you do your compression as you're tracking, you could use your FX bus at whatever mix level you want for the reverb - no? Anyway, this doesn't help with your query. I was hoping you'd say "no, recording to a PC" in which case I could recommend plug-ins.

I think the "with tone wicker" has a switch to bypass the tone stack, which could help with bass response. The bass big muff is pretty good. There's also the black russian big muff. However, the big muff is a very old simple circuit and there must be 100s of different big muffs around with different names. I have a "blue beaver", which is quite nice, but I think I prefer the EH bass big muff (which is fairly new).
-
yeh, how are you recording? Straight to tape or something?
-
heh, the problem is i'm not sure where the ghost notes are. I'm listening but it's too hard to tell, even when I slow the track down. I can play the main riff, but i'm missing most of the ghosts so it doesn't sounds right. I might have a clip of me playing it at home I can upload later to give you a better idea.

Pitfalls of setting the band up as a business??
cheddatom replied to Jamesemt's topic in General Discussion
For a band website, it's pretty simple isn't it? just a home page with a link to your myspace for listening to demos, a short description of the band, a photo gallery, contact info. What else do you need? I haven't bothered with the meta tags etc yet but [url="http://creepjoint.co.uk"]creepjoint.co.uk[/url] took about 10 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. It's not really an example of a site we're trying to market the band through (just a simple place to get to all our other pages) but I think it has all the basics you need. -
UK Border Agency and import charges - please read!!
cheddatom replied to Stacker's topic in Bass Guitars
They've held shipments for me for work before if the codes aren't supplied on the paperwork - they call up and demand the correct codes. I didn't know they could just make an arbitrary judgment. -
I think mentioning the shape of the guitar would help your sale. -
make a wood case, or find an appropriate metal or plastic box.

if two have a black line where they have broken, and the other two don't have the black line, surely that means they're slightly different models and the likelyhood is that whatever this black line is, it's a weakness? I know nothing about speakers though.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='831252' date='May 8 2010, 10:12 AM']On most electric basses, you can get the db effect by playing over the end of the fingerboard and backing off the tone control. Add flatwounds for full effect. [/quote] yeh, it's weird no-one else has mentioned this, it really does work.
-
Are you sure you can't ship it? -
I like limiters after compressors. You can use the compressor with a longer attack time to give a proper punchy sound, but then tame the peaks with a limiter. If you tame the peaks before the compressor, I would imagine you wouldn't get the same punch, but TBH i've never tried it.

Cool! I got a SL-20 recently, it's load of fun!

My ex had a Kay guitar that was just as thin. I quite liked it really.
-
I use mine in conjunction with lots of other pedals. I have 3 main reasons I bought it, and it might seem a bit overkill, but.. 1. A general overdrive patch which I can switch instantly from to.. 2. A digital delay + pedal wah patch (which would take a wah, delay, and TB loop to do) 3. and a Phaser/OD patch with the EXP pedal controlling the rate (which would take a phaser and one of those weird EXP pedal sucker thingies).

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='872397' date='Jun 20 2010, 08:24 AM']5. If they are selling a Warwick Streamer P-Nut bass (insert bass model of your choice), put that title into the image search of a couple of search engines (Google etc.) and see if the image of the bass appears, the more time you have to check past the first page the better. 6. Do a search for the identical item in any online auction or sale sites (eBay, Craigslist, Gumtree, SuperAds etc.) you’d be amazed how often scammers just get images and descriptions from sales and post them verbatim.[/quote] There's a tool here [url="http://www.tineye.com/"]tineye.com[/url] which lets you do a "reverse image search". It's down at the moment, but if this is stickied, it should be of use in a couple of weeks. It should pick up any other similar images.

erroneous! I was looking forward to pics

Anyone know of these basses? I really like the look of it but can't afford it right now. I thought i'd point it out and maybe find out a bit about them at the same time...

oh yeh, I think justin chanccellor does that, I can't remember what song though. I love doing that.

Oscillation is something that would be at the front of my mind having played with some synths at uni. However, I really haven't found that much use for it, I suppose because i'm not looking for an extreme sound. What pedals are we working with? If you put your whammy on octave down harmony, then next put your distortion with the gain up and the top rolled off, then loads of compression.
-
a syth sound could be as simple as getting an octave pedal and turning the dry signal all the way down, and the octave all the way up! It all depends on the kind of sound you're going for, as you've described above. Personally, I think some compression (if not fuzz) is a must, as is an octave. Anything else is just an effect! That wasn't a very helpful reply. when I want a "synth" sound, I roll off all my tone, turn all my dirt pedals on, and turn on an octave down harmony, oh and normally I would turn my wah on and leave it "up" so it's cutting top end.
-
Heh, you should deffinitely try wah and fuzz together.
-
I thought he might be doing that. There's no way I can get my right hand going that fast I can play the line just without all the funky little mutes that are very difficult to hear, and I guess they'd be pretty easy to work out if I could play that fast! Oh well, i'd better get practising. Cheers!
-
Octave first, then the ME-50B but the big muff you'll have to try both sides to find out what you like with wah, as it's two very different effects.
