  1. I've decided the Lowlifes arn't for me... I'm not used to the low tension and I do a little too much bow work for them to be my main string. Was fun to try them out though, very punchy and worked well on the covers gig I used them for where I usually struggle a bit in the mix! Will be popping them on the classifieds but drop me a message if you'd like to try some.

  4. @javi_bassist I Can try... two principles here, one is to make the journey from the input to the DI as short as possible so that when recording it can be as 'pure' a tone as I can get, and the other is to be able to run other instruments in different configurations. 

    So we get the Wireless and Jack Input 1 combined together (both always active), into the input of the wonderlove. The output of the Wonderlove goes to the DI. The Gigrig Switcher is then in the effects loop of the Wonderlove which means that if I turn the wonderloves buffer circuit off then none of it is in the signal path. Usually I'd leave it on, so this means that all the effects are after the envelope trigger but before the actual filter. After the Noble DI there's a switch between all that and the 2nd input jack (which has it's own Radial DI), then the HPF and out to the amp. None of this affects what is going out to front of house, unless the amp is mic'd. It means that synth/double bass can either go in input 1 (therefore using the same DI as the electric bass and also can run through FX), or through input 2 to the radial DI (more control out front, more common!). I also put in a channel switch for the Bassman, although it's unlikely I'm going to find myself using it a whole lot I think. 

    @Higgie cheers man, it's taken a lot of experimentation and trying things out to get to this, and of course I'm already thinking of improvements. The USB is from Temple Audio... I believe these are discontinued now, but I'm hoping to migrate all this back to my Alder & Ash board when it comes back from a service, which has one built in, so I might be able to let it go! Crucial for keeping an old iPad alive on stage for charts, and you also find your pedalboard becomes the hub of people looking to charge their phones...

    @Kamiel I find myself running sets a lot, and I hate to play with a watch on... so I keep old watches everywhere! Everyone knows Analog sounds better right?

  5. Another cheeky request... I'm strongly considering @Salt on your Bass?'s Barefaced Retro 610. I run a Fender Super Bassman and currently have a Neo 410 which I'll be keeping regardless. I would go for one of their 610s but the barefaced is lighter, slightly more compact and has side handles. However I'm not sure if A.the amp will fit well on the cab, and B. if I will prefer the tone to the Fenders, which I love, and it's a long way to go for something that may or may not be right! 

    My question is does anyone out there in basschatland have a Barefaced retro 410/610/810 within an hour of Bournemouth (ish), or near Exeter for the moments when I''m back there that they might be willing to let me compare with my fender and have a play with? Worth a shot!
