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='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.

It sounds like he'll be able to use pres from PAs so if the quality doesn't need to be amazing it would be worth saving the money by getting an interface without pres. Having said that, if you have a £500 budget.

You do need a DC supply, yes.

Why don't more people use thumb-picks? I feel so lonely.

[/quote] Ahhh, right sorry, I don't know the specifics for this amp. You couldn't put a boss tuner infront of the amp and power it via phantom power though, without some adaptors etc.

I use a thumb-pick so I don't have to arse-about.

Can you put another pickup in it? I would think a condensor mic would be impractical for live use, but it depends how close you are to your amp and how loud you get. I've done live gigs using an SM57 before when I forgot my battery and it sounded good.

I don't think it will feed any voltage down your input jack lead.

I paid $100 for some mics, and to be fair, they were worth more like $200. The numpty I bought them off thought he'd write $200 worth on the package! £36 in customs charges.

[quote name='The Funk' post='453313' date='Apr 3 2009, 01:06 PM']Yes! Rule of thumb for me: bass should cost no more than 1/10 of the cost of car; car should cost no more than 1/10 of the cost of the house.[/quote] Everytime you want to get a more expensive bass you force yourself to get a more expensive car? I like your lifestyle!

If there's no footswitch jack, you could add one very easily. I assume there are some pedals with an XLR output which can be powered by phantom power, but to power any normal pedals you would need to make a special adaptor - XLR to Jack AND Power plug.

Yeh, it's crazy! It's like some working cars are worth more as scrap than they are as working cars.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='452579' date='Apr 2 2009, 05:02 PM']Try it. Thicker strings have less midrange and treble so when adjusted to sound equally loud they will contain more lows. Then boost the lows and enharmonic notes get louder by a greater degree on thicker strings. Also if you adjust your pickups to get you the right balance at very low SPL it will not be right at very high SPL. All tied in with how poor human ears are at hearing lows. Alex[/quote] I did try it and obviously you are right! Very interesting, ta.

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='452684' date='Apr 2 2009, 07:31 PM']Sorry, I ment with my fretting hand i get too much string noise, I play pretty much play between the humbucker and the bridge anyways except if i wanna play soft.[/quote] Are you using the "enhance" circuit on your behringer pedal? If so, turn it off.

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='452276' date='Apr 2 2009, 11:35 AM']Googled !! WTF [/quote] Lol!

Interesting. I can understand the increase in output for the thicker strings, but you were saying that if you boost the bass on an amp, then the thicker strings will be louder even when comparing them on the same note? I know there will be a variation in harmonic/tonal (whatever the term) content but surely not that noticable?
