If you use the EQ to create a crossover, all your lows through 1 amp into the 15", all your highs through the 4 x 10", it will sound immense!!!

It just seems, if you already have a pedal that will do the job, and it fits on your board - why spend more money? You could fashion a cover to protect the knobs, or you could pull them off and file down the poles to make them more like trim pots.

I've used mine for guitar with no problems, but I think if you buy the guitar version you get a little more variety in effects - not sure - but bass could sound crap plugged into it. With the Zoom, you could really get into using cubase, and that means you can start adding VST effects as well, so you're never limited!

I don't know about this pedal, but I would imagine that you would appreciate some form of EQ after the pedal, so if your amp has that I would use it. Of course it might turn out that the sound coming straight out of the pedal is exactly what you're after.

Just check on each midi channel, you have the output set to where you want it to go. As ironside said, it sounds like you want the standard "onboard" GM sounds, so you can select that from the outputs available in cubase on each individual MIDI track. If the outputs are set to the GM synth (or whatever it's called on yours) and the GM synth is turned up in the windows mixer, and you have output on the level meters in cubase then...... Do you have more than one soundcard in there? If so which one do you have your speakers plugged into? Does it have a midi sound module (don't know the correct terms) of it's own?

Take the knobs off your LS-2?

I got my feeler out in the swimming pool. They said "put that away or we'll have you arrested!!!!" I said "I was only testing the water!!!" My joke book should be out for Christmas.

It looks realy cool - i've been following this one. I really agree that you could do with some new hardware - black or gold or anything that's not that cheap looking crap.

It is 2 years old though, I think, and I must have done 30 odd gigs with it before the band stopped, and the new bassist uses it every week at least. It should still be going strong, but I bet the switches are soldered straight onto the board. I shall see anyway. It's still amazing value for money.

I have had that problem with the footswitches on the B2.1U though. I don't use it much now I don't play bass in a band, but my bassist uses it and it's driving him mental! I've taken it home with a view to repairing it, so i'll post how I get on.

I don't know which schecter I have, it seems different to the one you mentioned. Mine has 3 band EQ and is neck through etc. Anyway, if mine is the one you want you're welcome to try it out sometime. Stoke's not so far. EDIT: It looks like mine is the "studio 6" which is the next one up I think so maybe no much use in trying it out.

Yeh and with the zoom there is the potential for her to get into recording on the computer via the USB and free cubase that comes with it.

Heh - she can borrow an amp for gigging, that's what every other 15 year old bassist does.

I have a schecter, I got it from the states from Ebay and i LOVE it. I also bought a brice 6 string from Ebay that's very nice.

A multi effects pedal to listen to through some half-decent headphones would be much more fun than a new amp!!

That IS a cool sound. I think a lot of that is down to the distortion on it though. I think he uses two dunlop wahs together? I can get similar tones out of my B2.1U, AND from my wah probe. I'm pretty sure he has some clean blended as well.

The loops can be run in series actually.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='327591' date='Nov 12 2008, 01:53 PM']Have to disagree with you there, they're good for guitar, but i've only ever found the "dark and deep" usable for bass, the wahs were designed for guitar and they cut out the lows completely, i've A/B'ed them all against my crybaby and to me the crybaby sounds better, but that could just be me[/quote] Good point, I blend a clean signal with all of my effects pedals so I don't get that effect.

I like my zvex wah probe - it sounds great with a bit of distortion. There are some great wahs on the Digitech XP-100 as well. This probably isn't that helpful. I've never tried a conventional wah as these have been so good!

The display does let it down. I think they have a better display in the bigger models though.

I don't think a subscription is the way to go. I think perhaps the Donations link could be more prominent. I didn't realise it was there for my first few months. I've made a couple of contributions, and i'm sure others have as well, but then there are people who can't afford/don't want to pay, and I wouldn't want to lose them. It's not as though BC is in financial trouble is it? RE Social networking stuff - don't we have that in our personal profiles? The Wiki could be used more. I think some of it is down to not knowing how to use it. I have on a couple of occasions made long posts here or on other forums which I would have liked to put into the Wiki here, as well as other people's posts, but I don't know how! I did try once - can't remember what went wrong but something deffinitely did.
