lol these are on my facebook and that has been noted too there too lo

Just recorded these with my SR4. Was a biut distracted by my daughter running around out of shot, but have tried to lay it back like the great man himself. Not sure how successfully tho.. :-)

Thought I would post this up here - just some messing around using my Jamman looper, but of interest might be the tones from my upgraged Yamaha BBN4 bass - it has a set of SD basslines in it, with passive eq, and I think it sounds lovely. The bass cost me £180 ages ago, and the upgrade work (incl strap locks, good set up etc, and the parts, incl a custom made scratchplate, cast about £250. It honestly is now one of the nicest basses I own. The clip shows both pups together at first, then the bridge soloed, and then the neck at the end Cheers for looking Chris

Yeah, I was hanging my nose over a Tonehammer too. Would like to compare with the BDDI, which I know has itsdetractors re the scooped sound, but I really like it on 50/50 blend and a slight bass end roll off. It rocks with this rig.

dunno - Alex said he was sorting it this week :-)

yeah, seems good. Still want to try a Big One though.

So, here is a pic of the latest set up at last nights gig. This is a big-ish venue, high ceiling, seems to swallow your sound up. [attachment=32361:Photo_0001.jpg] Crap photo from my phone, sansamp on top of rack, and note strategically placed lager. I am running a Shure SLX wireles (not used last night), so bass into Korg DTR2 tuner, out of tuner into Sansamp BDDi, and then into the PA from the BDDI, and into the amp from the sansamp output. Littlemark 2, into Standard 104hf 8 ohm cab. I have angled the cab back using a markbass Markstand, and secured the rack (whihc is light anyway) with a couple of bungee cords. Th LM2 I set flat EQ wise, with a little VPF filter. Sansamp set to 50/50 blend, all other controls at 12:00 (,id point) with a slight roll off on the bass. SR4, flat with except for a slight boost in the treble. Tweeter fully on. Sounded awesome. Loud band, and tilted back I had no problem at all hearing myself. Sound was full, clear, punchy and gritty. Just thought I would share. :-) Chris

good question, I will be wanting to see how my LM2 does. In comparison with my 8 ohm Markbass 4*10, how load will the Big One be???

Stingray. For live use at least in my opinion. I am sure there are many equal or better, but I just find they work live better than anything else I have ever tried. Not so keen on the sound solo'd tho - prefer a jazz for that, but in the live setting, the Stingray is THE MAN I think

I use and teach floating. For all the reasons above. The one exception would be "disco octaves" - I find these easier to do if I anchor on the pickup.

ok mate, no problems

Alex, any news on the tour kicking off? Would love to try it at a particularly tricky venue on Sunday....

Good luck - enjoy yourself. Chris

will do :-)

Here is my new/old rig. Shure Wireles into DTR2 into SAnsamp BDDI into LM2 into Standard 104HF Sounds monster. The bddi just ads something, and the DI on the LM2 is poor, so the Sansamp does this too. Cheers Chris

makes sense

On pro sound web PA forum, they reckon that you should stay out of clipping at all costs - for subs and tops. SO I kind of associate this with all amps. having said that, I used to run a Powermate 1000 to within an inch of its life night after night, clipping into a 2.67 ohm load, and it never missed a beat. Sold it. Wish I still had it.

cool, post one updated

just updated the list in post one.

GREAT NEWS :-)

thought so - done

it would be cool, yes. I will be wanting to gig it too, so I will get you along to one to see how it fares - gonna A-B it with my Markbass 4*10.

will do Alex - how many do you want on this before a beast is unleashed?
