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='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!!

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?

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!!!

[quote name='bluesparky' post='330695' date='Nov 17 2008, 02:39 PM']Call me dense, but i never thought of that![/quote] It's not dense! 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. [quote name='umph' post='331206' date='Nov 18 2008, 02:16 AM']not really.[/quote] Can you explain why not? Not doubting, just curious.

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.
