I use anti-bacterial handwash to get rid of the cheesey smell. Especially after gigs.

I think I could get a good bass sound out of almost any amp, as long as I had some pedals with me. Since my Laney head blew up about 8 years ago, i've used a Peavey TNT combo with a BW 15" and I love it. Adding a guitar amp using the bi-amp feature really sets it off. I bought it for £150 or something, and I bought a 1 x 12" guitar amp for £50. I did upgrade the guitar amp later, but only because the opportunity came up. It was an amazing sounding rig for £200. Incidentally, I had to give the upgraded guitar amp back, and the old 1 x 12" is broken, so I bought a 2 x 10" Behringer extension cab from someone off here. Obviously it's not bi-amped so it's having a very different effect, but the amount of extra low end produced by the behringer cab is amazing! I was very shocked. I'm convinced that I'll only ever buy bargains from now on.

For a few interesting wahs, a great chorus, an expression pedal, patch saving and foot-switched patch-switching PLUS pitch-shifting, get the Digitech XP-100!! Or you could get a Zoom B2.1U. Or you could tell us you've got a £300 budget and we'll recommend a filter a wah and a chorus for £100 each.

Have you tried it at 18V EBS_Freak?

[quote name='escholl' post='464796' date='Apr 17 2009, 10:55 AM']try using it as the S mic and try MS on the cab.[/quote] What does this mean please?

It seems to me you need to figure out if you can compromise and hopefully get along with the complainant. Writing a very sensitively worded letter regarding the complaint and posting it through all of your neighbours doors is a good idea.

[quote name='jacojacojaco' post='464182' date='Apr 16 2009, 05:31 PM']hi, I used a 1971 Fender Fretless with a jazz pickup installed. If you go to www.bassplayer.com, the article has info on that bass. The only pedal I used on that track, and have used on almost all my recordings, is a Boss compressor that has three knobs (the two knob and 4 knob do not sound good to me). It helps bring out harmonics and with the fretless, it makes it a lot more compressed (obviously) and mid-range-e. Hope that helps, Juan[/quote] WOW! Hello Juan. I saw you play in Birmingham with Mars Volta and it was honestly amazing. I was staring at you almost the whole time, I love the way you have a little corner set-up for yourself! I've read that article a few times, great stuff.

I'm not sure what track it is but on that album he just uses some distortion, and what sounds like a ring modulator and a wah.

You could cut the end of a stereo cable off and add on a mono jack and a DC jack. The DC jack could drive a daisy chain. It would depend on the amount of current the amp can supply as to how many pedals you can run off it.

TC electronic controller or G system or whatever it's called. Or it could just be a midi foot-controller. To the right of that is a white boss pedal but you can't tell what it is.

[quote name='wayneyboy' post='458157' date='Apr 9 2009, 10:26 AM']from what i can gather once the button is pushed in and using the right lead it will power the effects pedal- dont think it has to be ebs- just replaces a 9v battery- just not sure if this can only work for one pedal? will have a trip over to Brighton to ask Bernie i think thanks guys[/quote] Normal effects pedals won't take power from their output jacks. If you make a lead to get it working for one pedal, you can use a daisy chain to power more than one.

It's generally called a "looper" rather than an "effects loop". There are several - akai headrush is one that springs to mind.

Looking good!!

But you still need a wah and a tuner!

[quote name='ahpook' post='457157' date='Apr 8 2009, 10:40 AM']it's a syb-3, with typo !![/quote] ahhh lol, have you compared it to the syb-5?

[quote name='ahpook' post='456965' date='Apr 7 2009, 11:35 PM']ok, here's the board for the gig with [url="http://www.myspace.com/quantumbeats"]quantum beats[/url] this weekend in preston. not the best pic, but the phone cable was already plugged into the lappy. it's... boss tuner >> ebs bass iq >> ebs multicomp >> boss syv-3 >> pearl octaver >> mxr micro amp >> mxr blowtorch >> ebs microbass (small stone in the fx loop). sounds amazing - the multicomp and bass iq are recent acquisitions...i'm very pleased with both. \m/ ¬`¬ \m/[/quote] What's a boss syv-3? Can't tell from the pic.

Can you make it "Do you have 4 or More?" because I like 6s not 5s but I would like to be included in the statistic to prove that a low B is becomming indespendable!

16Bit has been fine for years, that makes it average quality. 24Bit, in comparison could be referred to as high quality. It's not to say that anything recorded in 16bit will sound like a bad quality recording, just like tapes weren't a bad quality medium before CDs came along (if you know what I mean).

Sorry, I can help (I do a lot of recording) but just don't understand what you want!

Plug your bass into your recorder. Turn your recorder on. Press record. Play your B string. DONE!

I use a fairly decent (great 5 years ago) PC with two delta 1010LT PCI soundcards. These have analogue inputs. I plug mics into a cheap-o pre-amp strip and the direct outputs from each pre-amp into each analogue input. I've spent more money on mics, stands and cables than I have on the actual recording gear, and I can get amazing sounds.
