I use a pedal board thats not crazy but is just too heavy and takes up a lot of room, but most of the stuff is pretty essential.
It goes......

Samson Transmitter........digitech synth wah (needed for a song).....Zoom 506 (needed for a song)....LS2 (switches the zoom out the signal chain)..........wah (used in a song and segueway)......chorus (used a lot)......tuner......hartke VXL (always on for the preshape, drive channel is used LOTS)......compressor.......noise suppressor...AMP

So nothing crazy or zany or extraneous, but its all mounted with a psu (gator gbus8) on a pedaltrain 2 and STILL weighs a ton and takes up lots of room when you play in a 6 piece.

SOOO... multi FX perhaps? i tried a boss GT6B ages ago but hated it. I couldnt get near the sounds i liked from my zoom and more importantly the levels were all over the shop!
I dont want to model amps, i have one! or any of that guff, i just want a smaller, lighter effect solution that allows me to add individual effects to my sound like stomp boxes do. Ideally some kind of global EQ so that i could replace the hartke would be great as that preshap setting is prety much crucial to my sound but im sure i could replicate it and set and forget with the right EQ.

The critical thing is where the boss let me down, i just want the effect to come in at the same damn volume as my clean sound, everytime!, Not ok at home and then too quiet or too loud each time i have to unplug the thing. Real straightforward set and forget, like pedals, but less of a pain to lug about!

So the zoom b9.1ut has come to my attention, but i cant try one out as i cant drive and my local shop dosnt have one, cant seem to find the things second hand either, so im staring down the barrel of a potentially very expensive mistake (like the boss) if i buy one, and its back to the same old business.

Has anyone gigged this unit for any time?, can i just set an overall EQ and COMPRESSION and then just press a pedal for chorus, just chorus, not chorus and 1969 fliptop precision, room reverbed, output corrected wangeflobulator!!

just one for chorus, one for drive, one for chorus+reverb, one for wah, one for synth, one for flange etc that just adds the effect to my sound as is at the same level [color="#FF0000"]everytime!??[/color]

Help!

Cheers all, sorry for ranting a tad lol

thanks dude. It's pretty embarrasing that you saw us lol. I think I've improved a lot since then in playing, sound, dress sense and stage etiquette lol. (and band choice tbh!)

Great shows! [/quote]

For a long time it was replacing Reef on the bill of the 1996 run to the sun festival which was cool, and then playing supporting Dokken on the UK leg of their tour in 2005, but i reckon probably the greatest was subsequently supporting Styx on the UK leg of their tour a few months later and getting to play Glasgow SECC, and Birmingham symphony hall, Manchester Apollo, Rock city, Colston Hall and the Hammersmith Odeon/Apollo all in a week with our own crew and truck etc etc, very cool! Standing out front while people queued to get their albums signed by us was just crazy!, so was going back to work the following Monday!, no free towels, hours long soundcheck to noodle about, signs to 'Doublecross' dressing rooms and signs on the stage saying where you were and where you were the next night, no nice food, lighting briefings and fridges full of free beer, just customers shouting in my face as usual, talk about a massive come down!

Cool though!

Loads of times but I rarely get to see the darn footage! Was on MTV in the 90's and never saw that either. My videos in my sig but I was miming so that dosnt count lol

I have a mint 3EQ Stingray, exactly the same as this, in natural but I really want a a 2EQ. I don't suppose you fancy a swap? If not, the person that buys this, if you want to swap for a 3EQ then please get in touch. If this does not shift, I might advertise my 3EQ so I can buy this.[/quote]

make it that '75 ri and you might have a deal

Lol. The black does look better n the pics, I prefer the White in the flesh though. I gotta say having owned threebands, both piezo and non that the two band really does seem a lot better to me. I guess I see what all the fuss is about.

Yup!

Tasty innit!! swap for an antigua jazz with maple neck with bound/blocks (as if!!!)

I literally just got this from a fellow basschatter, but GAS has bitten me almost as hard as my credit card bill. So im gonna stick it on here while i debate wether i should pay off more bill or start to buy bits to build an antigua jazz from warmoth. Either way this will have to fund it! But im in no hurry at all. Its a top, top bass and i love playing it, but as last in it falls victim to my endless bass whimsy!

Its a musicman stingray 2 band EQ.
I dont know the year but its a new one with the compensated nut and is utterly utterly mint! i fitted a hipshot detuner and a white pickguard although the original tuner and 'guard will be included along with the snazzy musicman hardcase. Its everything you would expect, and set up with a fast, low action.


Pretty darn good example of an uber tasty bass!!

Im after £700ono shipped with all the extras

(hope the last owner dosnt mind me borrowing his lovely pics, ive only got a crappy iphone one!)

Yup, what he said :-) lol. Told you it made your head go funny. It's something to do with the way they nteract that confuses it if I recall. Something along the lines of each vol acting as a master when one pick up is selected or something.

What he said

How dare you ?!!??!!! Mm's are perfect in every conceivable way. I'm telling BP on you!! It's not them, it's you that's looking at them wrong. You commie ray hater!!

;-)

ahem. Sorry about that, I couldn't resist. I'm sure those in the know will know lol.

I think the gator gbus8 has both 12 and 9v sockets.

Our singers surname is Moffat. Just thought I'd share that. :-D

Bugger! Too slow!

Yup looks like that one. I bought it on here a while back I'm sure as an ultra jazz but never fitted it

Just the one. It's the one with the funny looking polepieces I think it's the ultra jazz

£22 posted

this is just one pickup. Not sure wether it's bridge or neck but I reckon it's neck

What about the hipshot extenders! If they go I'll be uber gutted

£240 collected lowest price :-)

I use the Samson bass specifc bug and never had a problem tbh. If I use it at home in headphones I can hear hiss but it's fine in a more usual live situation. I'd like a more expensive unt but I love the practicality of the receiver sitting on my pedal board. Just one lead running back to my amp.

bump, offers guys?

i will reduce price for collection btw

I think the geddy lee plates fit. You can find em on eBay or at basspartsresource
