[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='707692' date='Jan 10 2010, 02:21 PM']guys & gals - if you haven't heard of them before, you need to see this.. what a drummer ! pity we can't see more of what the bass is doing in terms of fx..[/quote] As I recall, his board is pretty damn big, I'll see if I can dig a picture out somewhere. '77 jazz bass --> boss tuner --> boss OC2 --> passive DI for discreet sub channel at FOH --> zvex wooly mammoth fuzz (or maybe a crowther prunes and custard... the ol' brain box is a bit fuzzy) --> moogerfooger mf101 (with an ancient EMU expression pedal from my Emulator II) --> cheap ibanez synth wah pedal --> really really cheap ibanez 'soundtank' flanger (that i found in a rehearsal space) --> Line6 DL4 delay modeler --> DI --> WalterWoods amphead --> whatever speaker cabinet is around --> RE20 (or another good mic) That's a quote straight from John Davis, bassist of Nerve, 11/1/2008. oc2>mammoth>orbit>noisebox>bugcrusher>moog>fatman That was his touring rig from 16/7/2009 OC-2 (Output splits to the key in on the Fatman) into Zvex Mammoth into Copilot Orbit into Subdecay Noise Box into Bugcrusher into Moog LPF (with Expr and Robot Factory Exp Modulator) into Fatman into 201 into Boss RV3/5? That was Tayste over on Talkbass, accurately describing his board at Namm 09. I looked around for about 20 minutes, but I couldn't find an actual photo of the board at any point, which was irritating. He has a fantastic tone, and if you look for him on Talkbass (username: JohnDavisNYC) then you could probably get more info straight from him. Zach

Great player, seemed like he was a really cool guy. A true shame, for one to die so young. My condolences to his family and friends. Zach

Sort of, I only ever play my BC Rich in my metal bands, and my Schecter is a more all round bass. I really want a new one though that is just for my new DnB project, a nice 6er, probably Ibanez or something, string it up F#BEADG and then use that, because right now, my basses are still being used for other purposes so I can't spare one just for this purpose, which is annoying. Zach

Cool, I'll see if my mate wants to take a train down for the day, have a look at shops then drop by your studio and get a tour lol Zach

Yeah, mines taken a real kicking. I literally do mean, a kicking lol, I accidentally kicked it, don't know how, rolled three times and it was fine. Zach

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='703382' date='Jan 6 2010, 08:10 PM']My thoughts exactly. A well made reissue though, constructed like the Whammy IV. Let's face it, the bass whammy was poorly made; plastic casing, poor-quality footswitch etc. I was really impressed with the build quality of the Whammy IV, it was just the barrel size they used for the power supply that really wound me up. The PS-3 has also shot up in value because of the JC fanboys.[/quote] Yeah, it's irritating because they made a great pedal, but it probably wouldn't stand up to constant, heavy use at 5 gigs a week. The Whammy IV is built like a brick sh1thouse, practically impossible to break. Yeah, the power supply made no sense at all, you can't use it with your daisy chain or power brick because the damn power jack won't actually fit. Zach

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='703359' date='Jan 6 2010, 07:57 PM']You should be able to play Schism with the Whammy IV as it uses the octave up/octave down setting. But...you won't be able to play Disposition, as it uses the 5th up/octave up setting which isn't found on the Whammy IV. The 5th/octave up setting is the reason the bass whammy is so sought after (especially by all the Tool fans). Justin Chancellor used that setting loads: Pushit Ticks and Leeches Disposition The 5th up/6th up setting is the other one JC used a fair bit: Eulogy Right In Two[/quote] Yeah, trust JC to use a setting found on a pedal that costs an absolute fortune If Digitech did a re-issue they could make a bomb lol. Zach

If you want, I do have a Whammy IV, but like he said, it doesn't have the exact same sound on it, could be worth a shot though. I'm only asking £90 for it, so you can sell it on easily enough if you don't get on with it. Zach

[quote name='MythSte' post='702378' date='Jan 6 2010, 01:01 AM']Thanks for the compliments! I dont envy those of you that are trying to do all the low end duty on Bass guitar only. I certainly wouldnt have fancied it... Get yourselves a microkorg and double up![/quote] Haha, yeah. We have a couple of synths that will be used for ultra low sub bass. I'll be mainly playing the wobbling bass line, and probably melody lines as well. Probably sequence a few things as well, play them through his Mac. We are also going to have a set of DJ decks lol, which could be good fun live Zach

My ultimate rig would be about 8 Verellen Meatsmoke amps, with matching cabs of various sizes. That would absolutely destroy for Punk/Metal. Zach

[quote name='Rimskidog' post='702231' date='Jan 5 2010, 10:23 PM']Yep. 10s work very well. Try not to get something with too rigid a cone (like a hartke or something). Just a sensible 10 inch middle of the road speaker cone from a guitar cab will be fine. Keep watching the refurb. Much more to come! Am just too busy to do anything at the moment! Edit: I see you are in Derby. Drop by some time and I'll show you around the place. T[/quote] Wow, thanks for the offer mate, where in Derby are you? I may well take you up on that, if you don't mind me bringing a mate who's really into the whole recording/tech side of music, he's the guitarist/DJ in my new DnB/Dubstep, and really likes seeing and talking about the whole technical side of things. Zach

Cool, thanks mate. So if I use 10's I'll have a nice fat sound with loads of bass? Love your refurb thread BTW. Zach

Me and my brother went backstage at Metallica's last Wembley gig, didn't meet the band, but we saw the whole set up they had, guitars, amps, lights, all that stuff. Was pretty damn cool, even if we didn't meet them. Zach

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='698920' date='Jan 2 2010, 06:08 PM']tidy ! who's the dark-haired one though ? [/quote] Haha, class Zach

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='698550' date='Jan 2 2010, 09:05 AM'] they only use it in the first soundclip, but here's some hairband/capo use. i can't tell much about the players' sexuality, but they make better use of the pedal than i can... [/quote] I want it for the third soundclip lol, great DnB tone. if you sold yours, how much would you want? Zach

Like it mate. What's the band name? Zach

I think that I'm going to try this to capture the big lows in my new project then run that through the PA, to get some extremely thick bass. Anyone got a guide to making one? Zach

[quote name='budget bassist' post='695521' date='Dec 29 2009, 12:10 PM']I read the title as "hover bass", but that's cool too! [/quote] I just read it like that too... Zach
