weird. If it's buzzing on certain notes that would normally be something physically rattling, but this is a separate head... do you always put the head on top of the cab? Can you try it as far away from the cab as possible?

I've played there too, great sound crew, it should be ace! (even better upstairs! )

I wouldn't have thought either of those pedals would do it (I have both). The envelope follower/LPF built into my Digitech XP-100 would do that extra resonant filter thing, then I'd put some dirt on top, but that's not a lot of help... anyway, yeh, some sort of envelope follower with dirt and some compression and an LPF in the studio EDIT: I can't hear modulation or flange or anything like that, just sounds like an envelope follower to me - what am I missing?

bought a pedal from Dave, couldn't have gone better, top bloke!

sounds like his bandmate has told him he needs a compressor. Maybe he doesn't have enough dynamic control and the bandmate thinks this will solve the problem? If so they're mistaken IMO Still, I really like to use a limiter, always on, just before my amp in the chain, to squash any extra big spikes. I also use another compressor earlier in the chain to give extra punch, but that wouldn't be always on, just for the odd section

ace, thanks!

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1482313653' post='3199379'] I attended Strummercamp and the sound all weekend wasn't very good, no bass guitar loads of bass drum, then Ruts DC came on marvellous sound, I actually FB'd Segs Jennings the Ruts bass player about it, his reply was that they'd got their own sound man [/quote] yep, simple fact is that there are a lot of bad sound men who keep getting work ***THIS IS NOT A GENERALISATION, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD SOUNDENGINEERS*** (just trying to avoid the telling off I got last time I said this)

you can get pickup blend pots on passive instruments, no need for it to be active you can plug any basses into either input on your amp, and two at the same time would be fine. Your passive bass into the active input might be a bit too quiet With an active instrument, you generally get some sort of EQ which is much more powerful than a passive tone pot. They are normally louder than a passive instrument too

I learned that I can actually play pretty well, and faster than I thought, just because I put myself into a new scenario

you can use the B3 as an audio interface, so plug it into your laptop using the USB, install the drivers, plug your bass and headphones into the zoom, and play music off your laptop

Friday night at the Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton. I really like this venue but there weren't many in. The headliner's drummer was sharing his kit, turned up an hour late, spent half an hour setting up, then they spent half an hour sound checking. No time for us to check so that put a downer on the night from the start. Still, we played well Last night was STP Records/Dirty Box Disco's xmas do. Plenty of people in and it was an all round good gig but I have to mention the venue - Warehouse 23 in Wakefield. This place is awesome! I wish more venues were like this. Great lighting and sound, clean, stylish, good bar, just an ace venue.

pretty much every time a 6 string set from a brand/type I've not tried before, I buy them, because otherwise experimentation is very expensive!

Bad Sign, Zoax, and Hacktivist last night. Great bassists in all bands but I do have to give a special mention to Bad Sign - 3 piece with a singing bassist up front and he is awesome AND you could actually tell what notes he was playing. I can't give the soundmen any credit for that 'cos the other guys didn't cut through at all.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1481799197' post='3195195'] ...learning to read is, or at least can be, a quick and easy process... [/quote] I've tried to learn to read twice, once during music GCSE, once during music tech Bsc. Both times I managed to figure out the rhythm fairly quickly, and I could find out which note was depicted, but it would take me a while, starting at a definite point, then counting the lines, then checking the key signature. I really want to be able to do it, and I will try again, hopefully soon, but it's definitely not "quick and easy" for a lot of people

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1481799426' post='3195201'] I did it with two bands. Years apart for different reasons. [/quote] We live and learn... just need to get the hang of that second part

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1481798527' post='3195183'] ...Thing is; a lot of people can get involved in projects and do stuff they haven't specifically been asked to do. Mainly because they had got too emotionally involved in the project... [/quote] Hah, yes, just screwed myself over with one of these projects!

I love watching these come together

great post, even if the style was a little bold

It wouldn't be unreasonable to ask them to pay for the production

If he was reasonable he'd give you a shot to show what you can do. He owes it to you for all the work you've put it. It sounds like he hasn't offered this, so IMO I'd f*** him off unless you think you stand to make money/reputation from the production side of things

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1481643027' post='3193956'] Dude, I crank my amp so hard that angels weep and my guitarist, like, totally bleeds out of his dick. It's so totally rad. S.P. [/quote] sweet dude that sounds killer

ace!

I see, I hadn't fully grasped the dimensions
