[quote name='bremen' post='343103' date='Dec 2 2008, 03:39 PM']Why, has he no nose?[/quote] I think he smells well but receives so much praise and treats he'll never be properly grounded.

Cool! This may be a stupid question but.... Is it hard to get the intonation right on a bass? IE did you have to work out where the bridge goes, and where to cut into the nut etc etc all with complicated forumals? Or do you just stick them on in a straight line and try to set it up after? Perhaps there's a beginner's guide I would be better looking at.

[quote name='Joshbasscana' post='342163' date='Dec 1 2008, 06:05 PM']I need to continue playing the acoustic part when the bass part kicks in - so that would mean the above wouldn't work right? Unless I've misunderstood![/quote] You are right, yeh, but you could do both if you had something like a LS-2 or whatever to run both lines of effects at the same time. It just seems an easier solution to me, but I do like my pedals.

Seriously, the AC-3 is a great acoustic simulator. If you played an electric through that through your bass rig, and then when it kicks in just switch from the AC-3 to the OC-2 it's be very easy and probably cheaper (buy used pedals) than any other solution. For a guitar synth pedal, I beleive you need to buy the pick-up to work with it.

I would be trying to play bass with your acoustic rather than your feet, or, even easier - get an electric guitar, a BOSS AC-3 and a BOSS OC-2/3 and you're sorted. Anyway, you can get "bass pedals" - chris from Muse uses one on the Hulabulloo tour so if you check on board.muse.mu and search for it, or on the Muse Wiki thingy it will probably tell you the name of that.

It looks really meaty!!

[quote name='uptonmark' post='338947' date='Nov 27 2008, 09:42 PM']just looked at the ux2 what does pad mean (simplification please) cheers mark[/quote] It's a button that engages an input gain reduction when pressed.

[quote name='noelk27' post='337924' date='Nov 27 2008, 12:21 AM']No, it isn't. But this one started as a guitarist before taking up bass. What about the one you know of?[/quote] He's left handed, plays the tuba and piano and all that, and took up guitar as a bit of a hobby and now plays bass in a band in london. I think he's actually taking the bass seriously now, i've not spoken to him in a while though.

Me being angry.

[quote name='noelk27' post='337345' date='Nov 26 2008, 03:10 PM']I know a lefty who plays a right-handed guitar, but doesn't re-string it from righty to lefty. But he also plays bass, and uses a right-handed bass, but this time re-strung from righty to lefty. Which means he plays two stringed instruments, but with reverse fretboard layouts - top to bottom. Is it just me, or does he take the prize for being the weirdest guitarist on the planet?[/quote] Is his name Adam? I know a guy just like that.

Use a thumb pick! You can grip it as lightly as you like and it wont fall off.

Is it finished?!?!?

You can get PSUs which supply an emulated dying battery for pedals.

[quote name='umph' post='333236' date='Nov 20 2008, 04:42 PM']depends on the amp some would work as you suggest though. some run the effects loop in parallel with the pre amp so the send comes from after the input buffer.[/quote] Ahhh, OK, that's probably what my peavey's like, but I could use the power amp input for the other method.

[quote name='karlbbb' post='332618' date='Nov 19 2008, 08:42 PM']The Peavey TKO I'm using is the same, and using either of them doesn't let me use the master volume as a control (volume depends entirely on the output from whatever is going into the poweramp)[/quote] Yeh, mine's the same. Weird!!

[quote name='Josh' post='330534' date='Nov 17 2008, 11:39 AM']Sorted: [/quote] Do you have pics of that 6 string anywhere?!? It looks gorgeous.

I thought the same as you Kev, but having said that, my amp does have a loop, as well as a preamp out and poweramp input. You wouldn't have both if there was no difference at all?

[quote name='jhk' post='331054' date='Nov 17 2008, 09:39 PM']I phoned these guys direct and got a deal for three sets for just under £30 including p & p for my six string bass.Not the greatest ,but not the worst either,but at a good price to experiment![/quote] £10 for a 6 string set? What brand? Who did you phone?
