Just got the cables to power my stomp from a Cioks dc7 - oddly turned on connected to one port without the current doubler too!

No, but if you were trying to write something you might study Shakespeare to learn how language is formed. If I was using visual art to communicate of course I could learn from church traditions going back to icons, pietas, the Dutch vanitas painting… but I would probably also look at things since 1800 from a non church based setting!! There’s a big gap in my knowledge if I don’t understand modernism, postmodernism and can’t understand the culture art exists in. I think the same is true with music. There’s two differences in how I would approach it. I don’t think dividing things into sacred and secular works - either personally, theologically or in art. There’s this big bit in the middle of life that is just life and is neither anti God or pro God. I have a spade in my shed, it’s neither sacred nor secular - I could use it to grow veg and give the veg to the hungry, or hit someone on the head with it and bury the body. The other thing is that culture is the language that society communicates through, both consciously and unconscionasly, and depending on your pov for both better and worse. If the book says “be in, but not of” I don’t know how to do that if I don’t understand the same cultural language.

Which type of G&L? L1000 are like the the new covenant version of a p bass anyway

Isn't that like a 1991 or 1990 limited edition? Many of them about?!

That sounds intriguing!

Esp when TC electronics get it so right on the Spectracomp so easily. I’ve spent a bit of time with them this week. Rochester, meh but ok, I can get the 3 band sounding good - but don’t feel I have any control of it at all, I can get the LA2A model sounding nice easily- possibly LA2A is just my cup of tea?

I’m planning on doing a big order soon Is there a U.K. equivalent for parts and/or kits at all?

I was about to recomend my credit card that charges no handling fee … but looked up and don’t have that benefit any more!!

Why? Bass guitar, heck almost any instrument isn’t going to sound good with everything below 8kHz cut out! I would look at the Vong and miniVong at musikding as alternatives …

What comp do you use?

That’s actually really useful as looking to put my stomp on it

Yeah it was me bumping it up, been looking at the 2.1 and 3.1 and enjoyed it that @Al Krow started a thread and liked them so much he ended up with two of them

Or two of them even!

I don’t have bas GAS anymore - but that PJ has to be one of the nicest basses on basschat

Interesting - I had a ACG EQ1 and started it with the high filter from the bridge and after playing with it a while ended up with it on the neck pickup (on a Warwick SS1 so probably not a million miles away from Wal position, if not a different style of pickup)

even better?

But these days a two channel amp and digital crossover would probably be cheaper.

See - this is what’s nice around here… every so often we get a thread where people passionately throwing around misunderstood “facts” go away … and we get to learn from experts like @agedhorse and @Bill Fitzmaurice

That's true metric brightness rather than your old fashioned imperial brightness

Here’s a question that might make me look like an idiot… I’ve used a few compressor pedals before and in build compressors in amps, (Tecamp puma 1000 and Hughes Kettner QT600 come to mind) I even have used the compressors on a zoom b3 and B3n successfully… so I know a little light compression does things I really like … but… hx stomp I’ve had less joy dialling in a basic starting point that works - apart from the LA studio comp that I can sometimes get sounding ok… now the problem is all me- lack of ear skills, lack of metering meaning lack of confidence … it’s the thread hold I find hardest to set - and not knowing the ideal x-over freq on the 3 band… and the Rochester so any tips of how to work it out - or any suggested starting places settings for bass settings - esp on the 3 band?

And @Al Krow has gone quiet too come to think of it has anyone ever seen them both in the same place? Coincidence- I think not. Could they be the same person??!
