  1. We have Blackmore, Lord and an amalgam of bass players (but not the one that sings like a choirboy on helium)just Paice and....
  2. Myself and some pals were just discussing this very album on FB. By the end of the conversation we'd all but formed a DP trib.
  3. Been after one ever since I traded mine.But not in funds and really want a black one. However, can I just say to anyone else looking who hasn't used one, this will blow you away. You won't believe how small, light and incredibly punchy it is.
  4. The Holy trinity Felicity Suzi and Debbie.
  5. It appeals to me as it is affordable and nice big easy to see hard to miss buttons for stage work. Not necessary but interesting. I like @Quatschmacher idea of chords! Anyway had a great session with the FI this afternoon. Just continuing to feel my way in. Followed the tutorial on making a chorus pedal and then did a prolonged 'what if' session. By which I mean, what if I wanted an octave lower, distortion to track the chorus? Or what if I want the clean signal mixed with a different sound that kind of thing. By doing this I find I'm building an idea of how different controls impact on the over all sound.
  6. Anyone ever do anything like this?
  7. God he makes me smile, every time. The transparant LOVE for his work. I don't care if I like the track or not, watching him losing himself in it just wonderful.
  8. At the moment it's just a idea. If I use the FI as a multi effect (which I shall) it would be nice to turn on and of certain effects as and when I want to use them in a song. At the moment I'd have to place them in a specific order and click / double click back and forth to find each one. I wondered about assigning certain pedals on something like this to certain patches (or programmes, or effects or however you like to think of them)
  9. Hello hive mind, can this be used in conjunction with my FI? https://www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Accessories/Midi-Foot-Controllers/FCB1010/p/P0089#googtrans(en|en)
  10. That's great thank you. I wasn't holding it for long enough.
  11. What's all this 'cutting' strings business?
  12. Can't wait for mine to arrive now, talk about wetting my appetite!

    Advice please

    If you're prepared for a bit of an early learning curve, the Future Impact can handle all of the above. I bought one second hand for about £200 and have immediately started selling off pedals. I bought it as a bass synth but have been delighted to discover how capable it is in other areas too. Otherwise it all comes down to budget. Individual effects are fun but the inevitability of extra spending has to be factored in. Power supplies, pedal boards, cabling, none of it comes cheap if you don't want whines and buzzes and do want reliability. Multi effects can be an easy one stop shop. Zoom do several but then there's a bit of a leap in price to the world's of Helix. Personal recommendation? Zoom B1Four.
  14. I am trying to reset the tuner on my FI. I power on while holding the left footswitch down, then turn the Parameter dial to Note Off Level, the screen first reads 3.03, then very briefly bSS but before I can do anything else it just reverts to the usual bank/programme / data values. Am I missing something?
  15. Who's looking for a headphone amp with aux in? Battery powered? With a tuner? And drum patterns? Maybe some adjustable amp sims? How about some effects, compressors and the ability to chain them? Oh you want a looper too? And you expect to get that lot for £30? Posted? Boxed? No velcro, virtually unmarked? Anything else you want? A date with Eva Mendes? A yacht perhaps?
  16. Thanks for sharing these, I don't 'do' Instagram so I am particularly grateful. John's a lovely guy and his bass lines challenged my prejudices back in the day. I assumed that Duran couldn't be any good because they were just a pop band for teenage girls to scream at. Then my drummer at the time told me their bassist used the same bass as me. They have a bassist? It's not all programming? Wait, they're a real band? Then I listened properly and he blew me away. So grateful he's doing these, it's always interesting to hear a bit of background to how a band worked. And of course always wonderful to have the bass without the surrounding clutter. Sorry, other instruments. Yeah sure they're homemade, and other people doing similar things have professional help putting them together. But who cares? I'm there for the bass.
