[quote name='fiatcoupe432' timestamp='1485291405' post='3222893'] . this is interesting as im looking into something like that too ..... i think this does not resolve the issue as all i could find is that the ABY has one input and 2 output . i think that what is needed is something with more input and one output which can be send into the looper input and then on the amp. [/quote] The AB/Y pedal can also be used with two inputs and one input. Where it's likely to fall down is the need to balance the signal strength of the inputs, particularly if you want to use it with a microphone and an instrument.

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1486024491' post='3228537'] This is much debated I'm thinking that with a compressor/tuner/octaver/overdrive/fuzz/chorus/flanger setup I put the MT 1st to keep the sub 30Hz stuff out of the pedals as well as the amp. It seems to work. [/quote] Only by you it seems Peter, everyone else I know puts them as the last element in the chain to ensure that the pedals don't introduce any sub-frequencies. The only thing I might want downstream of it is a DI box.

That's good - I'd heard he wasn't well and had stopped working. I'm pleased that he's OK. Martin fixed my '80s Ibanez Chorus, very nice chap.

Oh yeah. Got to say the title of the other thread didn't help.

Slightly cheaper option from Mooer: https://www.thomann.de/gb/mooer_pedal_controller_loop_6.htm?glp=1&gclid=Cj0KEQiAiMHEBRC034nx2ImB1J0BEiQA-r7cttWM-qiZzVH_MCwRC5DJENstY_bJBfUy25HsLSQWt8MaAv3N8P8HAQ

A Fresher jazz bass. I don't think we've seen one of these for a while: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Fresher-Bass-Guitar-1975-made-In-Japan-/232216063265?hash=item361127ed21:g:pWgAAOSwopRYh4ZD

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1485866520' post='3227276'] Thanks Pete, but I was using a historic request to make a point. ChrisB came to the rescue at the time. Yes, lovely part, and very straightforward but at the time I just couldn't hear the intervals! [/quote] No worries. I know what you mean too - normally I don't have any problems, but there are one or two exceptions, that run in the intro of Black Velvet springs to mind, took ages to figure out.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1485847965' post='3227081'] Mine was Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make Yo Love Me - just couldn't hear the intervals properly. I got the same response, which frankly was as much use as a one legged man in an ar5e kicking contest! [/quote] I must have missed the original request. Do you still need this Mykesbass? I can hear it clearly and can have a go at tabbing it or rendering it in fly sh*t if you still want it. Beautiful tasteful bit of fretless playing by the great Hutch I believe.

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1485627074' post='3225460'] I found the SmoothHound to be way more reliable...not as much range, but no drop outs and a really solid performance. [/quote] And, there are no worries over the battery cover on the transmitter threatening to self-destruct.

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1485608542' post='3225268'] Have you heard about Marc Bolan? [/quote] There's some good news - his car wasn't written off!

Excellent work there Ian, hope the run keeps going a while longer. It's all coming back to me now - I watched the clip from Graham Norton when it was broadcast, after turning over from 'Later' on BB2 which featured possibly the worst performance on TV I have ever seen, by Madeleine Peyroux. I remember thinking at the time what a fantastic voice Amber Riley has, I think she's great.

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1485347285' post='3223268'] Ooh that is a looker. Although it looks like it may have the same preamp as the TRB1005 I tried the other day... [/quote] It's different - the BB2004 has a 2-band EQ plus mid cut switch and frequency selector, the 1005 has a 3-band EQ. The 1005 is also a 35" scale bolt-on . The BB2004/2005 is a later design and a newer generation of pre-amp which has much more in common with the BBNE1. There is a BB2005 for sale in the forum here, but I thought you didn't want active. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/296915-yamaha-bb2005-nathan-east/page__p__3208381__hl__yamaha__fromsearch__1#entry3208381

Although we use 'quid' to mean pound now, in older times it was used to mean a Guinea, which was worth one pound, one shilling. I haven't heard the clip of Gene Vincent, but if he was expecting to be paid say 50 guineas but instead was paid 50 pounds, he'd be underpaid by 50 shillings. 1969 was before our currency went decimal, there were 20 shillings to a pound, so he was out by roughly 4.5% [quote name='blue' timestamp='1485342065' post='3223219'] A knicker? Blue [/quote] Dictionary says 'nicker' without the 'K'. Knickers are not normally regarded as currency but maybe things are different in Brentford? :-)

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1485338572' post='3223173'] On the topic of hard to resist Yamahas.... £700 for NE model [url="https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bass-nathen-east/1212520950"]https://www.gumtree....east/1212520950[/url] [/quote] Strictly speaking this is not a Nathan East model, it's a BB2004. Still a very good bass at an excellent price. The Nathan East model is the BBNE2.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1485202346' post='3222102'] Sad times. Sorry to hear that! [/quote] Thanks for your concern Dood, it's much appreciated. I'm sure another interesting project will come along eventually. Mcnach, if those wedge monitors are active it's highly likely they'll have a 'line out' for daisy chaining, which would be just the job for you.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1485135423' post='3221493'] The headliners here had careers that had peaked long before 1972. [/quote] Many of those acts were enjoying a resurgence in the late 60's and early 70's. Chuck Berry was No. 1 in the singles chart in the UK and the US around that time, albeit with 'My Ding-A-Ling'. Which the UK kids I grew up with loathed and detested with a passion, since we had to sit through it on TOTP every week. I've no Idea who was buying tickets to this concert, but it wouldn't have been my definition of 'kids', more likely people who had missed out on seeing the acts in the '50s but were now middle aged with more disposable income.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1484997010' post='3220235'] Yup! I was thinking that my Q8 would do exactly the same too! I just didn't want to take a full camera with me all the time! let us know if you try it! [/quote] If I do try it, I'll let you know. Not sure if it will happen - I've just found out that the status of my main band has been downgraded from 'taking a break until May' to 'wound up altogether unless something remarkable happens in 2018' !

Fuzzdog, pedalparts.co.uk has some which look very similar.

About time this thread had a bump. Came across this conduit cutter in my local CEF yesterday, looks like just the job if you have a lot of enclosures to drill. Screwfix have them too. http://www.screwfix.com/p/armeg-pro-step-drill-bit-4-22mm/8662R?kpid=8662R&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=CIaDt4D21dECFQEL0wodThANPQ

Yes, that web site looks seriously broken.

He updated his thread in the affiliates forum 3 days ago, so maybe try asking in there?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484985763' post='3220138'] Correct! [/quote] So if this works, would I be right in thinking that you wouldn't need to spend lots of money on expensive ear buds with multiple drivers, because you wouldn't need to reproduce the bass frequencies with in ears?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484907049' post='3219523'] ACS Live systen on the cheap! What you have is half way towards a full inear mix with ambient sounds mixed in. Now you have the ambient mix sorted, you'll be hankering to get the rest of it down. [/quote] I have a Zoom h4, which might do all of this: stereo mikes for ambient, desk feed into one line channel, bass into the other line input, in 4 channel mode make up a nice mix and iems in the headphone socket. Would this work?
