I had no idea Def Leppard, Jethro Tull and Cheap Trick we’re still going! Good on ‘em.

According to this you do: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/my-method-of-using-ged-2112-sansamp-through-one-amp.1297080/#post-21059000 “I contacted Tech 21 and they sent me a download showing a diagram with two internal jumpers that sit right next to each other When the first one is reversed it combines the drive and deep channels allowing you to use one cable from the unit to your amp. The other jumper allows you to use the function switch as a bypass instead of a mute. The tech at my local store made these modifications while I watched and it took less than a minute. By eliminating the Morley ab/y box I was using to combine the two signals I eliminated nearly all of my background noise/hum from my amp and the unit still sounds great. The bottom panel of unit must be removed(six screws) to make these changes which are just as easily reversed if so desired.”

If you'd have gone with Interparcel or the like you would have got an even cheaper quote than from going to UPS direct in my experience. I wonder if there are similar services based in the US? But agreed, that takes the piddle. If you buy a brand new bass from a store that will ship to the UK (look on eBay for example) you can see shipping charges are usually under $100.

Might be more to do with the boundary effect, i.e. less bass output as a result of being further away from the back wall, rather then anything to do with the mics. Easy to test by turning the mics or PA off though!

I have literally never heard it pronounced to rhyme with embarrassed, and if I did I would think they had it wrong. But it seems you are correct! https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/harassed But language is constantly evolving. If 99% of the population say haRASSed then surely that becomes the 'right' way eventually!

I think you say it like "say"! As in sensei!

Easier to just peel the keys of and swap them around, similar to how you solve a Rubik's cube.

That's a great feature

💓 🔑 Yup.

No problem, I've been meaning to do it for the big octaver thread anyways!

The assumption is that your bass rig is darker than a full range PA, so apply milder LPF to the main out vs the XLR. This would work out perfectly for my rig which has no tweeters. Trouble is these days many bass rigs are full range just like the PA. That's why making it switchable would make sense. Even for Dug himself when he can't be sure what rig he'll end up with on tour.

The problem is releasing a product designed exactly how the artist specified - for a mass release version it would be better to make certain things configurable. This doesn't impact the artist's original vision, only enhances it for wider appeal. In this case, for those using dark wooly 15 inchers vs those with hifi or FRFR rigs. There was a similar fuss kicked up over the Geddy preamp, which has separate outputs for the high and low channels with no option for a blended output and also no bypass switch without opening the unit up and changing jumper settings.

As is Luger Baruga, commonly spelt as Loughborough, just to the north east of BirmingHAM.

Guitar peddles. Joined together with patch chords.

Same!

Don’t get me started on Morrischick basses.

Here you go: https://1drv.ms/f/s!ApKsVfvGwYkOiqcUT79WoDBsenS1pQ Couple of bonus clips, my Yamaha BB playing notes down to the low B, and a bit of Super Sharp Shooter as I can never resist playing a bit of D&B when an octaver is plugged in!

True, but when your base tone is dirty, you can demo a clean boost and everyone is like "OMG THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!" Then they buy one and put it through the clean solid state rig with a tweetered cab and it sounds nothing like it. If I use an amp sim like a VT Bass or a B7K at the end of my chain, then I could feed it a with several different distortions and they'd sound pretty similar. Record them direct and they'd all sound very different to each other. Ideally a demo should have recordings of both, but the only demos I've seen that did that regularly was the old bassfuzz.com ones!

I didn't think it sounded that much like Darkglass (no clean blend on it for a start), but a lot of Patricks demo's sound similar because he's not recording the pedals direct. At one time he was going into Line6 POD modelling, looking at the gear used list, these days he is demoing the pedals into a mic'ed up Darkglass amp and cab. His clean tone always sounds overdriven to start with, sometimes sounding worse when the actual pedal gets engaged!

I can oblige, USA P with TI flats and an Octabvre Mini. Somebody on the Helix thread on Talkbass got pretty close with the Helix legacy octaver effect into a chorus and some other bits. So digital is getting closer!

I know this isn't the filter thread but whilst we're off topic I'm really digging the Discumbobulator going into overdrive/distortion. Sounds like guitar->wah->dirty amp sounds but without the aching ankles!

It's pretty clear from the thread on TB they are talking about treble roll-off. I expect it was designed this way to try and even out the sound you get going to the PA and coming out of a cab when you turn the tweeter off (or have no tweeter), that's the only thing that would make sense to me.
