Why do you keep bumping this? There's not question or explanation for why the videos been posted. If your wanting comments on you playing or something, post it in the 'show us you video' thread or 'recordings' forum. This part of the forum moves slowly enough as it is so there is no need to bump a post thats stayed on the first page since the original post.

[quote name='jcater' timestamp='1328259924' post='1524419'] Amp and 2 cabs have arrived. All seems to be in good shape. Has anyone used the amp with just one of the classic 12's at smaller gigs? [/quote] Yep, do it regularly! It handles and sounds great!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328277321' post='1524819'] [size=4]Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this SF, very interesting indeed and clearly put. So it would seem a Thumpinator is a good idea regardless... reading this thread it looks like the unit goes between the bass and your pre-amp/DI, like a conventional pedal? If you're using other effects, would the unit go pre- or post these? Thanks![/size] [/quote] From what i've read it can go anywhere put preferably after an octave pedal as some lose tracking if you put it before.

The playing sounds good dude. I kinda struggle to listen to some of these songs, especially when they're being sung in lithuanian?, when i know the originals so well. Heres to hoping the UK shows have a live band though. I doubt they do

[quote name='7string' timestamp='1325686481' post='1486069'] I do like that Siggery bass. He makes some great guitars as well. [/quote] i guess he does if your into all those extra strings!!

There's 100 places to play notes on a 4 string, 24 fretted bass guitar. Why would you pay £88 for a book when you can use time, effort & memory?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1327876223' post='1518252'] Sounds like any other Ashdown to me. I'm sure their speakers are doing them no favours... And didn't you see a little puff of smoke coming out the top there??!!! [/quote] Got to agree with this. Tried a Mibass a couple of months ago after hearing great things about them from a mate, so being nosey and not really every getting on with Ashdown stuff i thought i'd give it a go to see how it sounded. Had it plugged in to one of their 1x12's i think, can't remember what it was off the top of my head, and i was just so underwhelmed by it, until i plugged it into a berg cabinet and then the thing sounded fantastic. My opinion now is the ashdown 'muddiness' comes from the cabs, not the amps. Now this thing sounds great, its my mate Joe Nearney demoing it for them.

C Eb and G aren't a major triad?............or am I missing the joke

[quote name='Bucket Head' timestamp='1327852521' post='1517641'] Everyone knows russians except for me it seems ha, makes u proud to be in a multicultural society yet again the basschat community goes the extra mile for me!!! cheers guys its much appreciated [/quote] Aha well she is Russian so its kinda given.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1327656490' post='1514736'] The Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey is probably the best in the country, although the jobs market at which it is aimed (big studios, places like the BBC) seems to be shrinking faster than a fast thing. It's a proper engineering course, so you'll need good A levels in Maths, Physics and Music Tech plus a Grade 8 standard on your main instrument. [/quote] Struggling to see why you need to be able to play and instrument let alone to a grade 8 standard for a Engineering course. Some of the best engineers i've worked with don't play a note, they're passionate about sound & how to make it sound great, not how to play the stuff.

Bumping this for anyone thats not seen it

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1327590408' post='1513863'] Yuuuup!! That's helpful to know as a way to do it. How did you learn what bit goes where and how it affects the final sound? Did you find modifying patches the best way to start, or starting new patches from scratch to learn how things go together from the ground up? or something in between? I'd be using this to play bass in church and contribute to the overall sound, but week to week the band setup will be different. Hence I need some useable sounds that work across all band setups (from bass, guitar and drums... to bass acoustic guitar x1/x2, electric guitar, drums keyboard, 3-4 vocals, etc) but that I also know how to tweak to fill out certain aspects of the sound if there's sonic space for it. Korg put out a tweaked bank of patches on their website done by one of their designers and there's far more useable sounds on there, and I've nailed two great sounds for bass so far, but I need to learn how it all fits together, how I can modify them to get other sounds and also how I want the respective controls set up. My first challenge is to unite some features across different patches that I like, where the patch gets a solid consistent round bass sound with a kick drum type attack with the cutoff freq down, then roll up the cutoff to 'reveal' a more aggressive filter underneath, then control the cutoff frequency with the mod wheel. That way I've got a 'go-to' patch for bass, that I can then control the aggression of with the modwheel. That sounds great. The XL has an editor too, any tips on how to approach setting a patch up via software? [/quote] I've been using soft synths for a while so i learnt through trial and error tbh. Just messing about with it. Coming onto the Gaia everything seem so much simpler an easy to do compared to the soft synths. Essentially on the Gaia i've got 3 channels of tone. All with an LFO that can be synced on all channels or have separate for each. Also with a ring modulator for two channels. An Oscillator with 7 different wave forms, all with 3 variations so 21 waves in total to start with. A filter section with 4 different filters, and then the amp section. The Gaia also has on board effects so you can change the sound even further. It all sounds fairly complicated but once you've had chance to sit down and play with the different functions with one tone at a time you begin to realise what each function does to the sound, allowing you to layer up sounds & get the tone your looking for. Just sit down and play away with the sounds mate, if you've got preset tones that you like, have a look at the settings are set at & then go through one by one and see what affects the sound and you should start picking it up fairly quickly. And most of all, have fun with it

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1327588398' post='1513824'] Got a Microkorg XL recently. Used it at a practice last night. It was flipping stupendous. It was for church this Sunday, so songs were contemporary worship songs. The synth bass took what would've been some relatively modern (for the genre) but tired sounding songs and totally changed the sound of the band. I wasn't even using a crazy sound, it was relatively tame straight bass, but the way you can shape the sound and the attack... gosh it really is amazing what it can do! I'd love to get a bit more input from people who use synth bass in a live band, and how you set up the sounds? [/quote] It's great fun isn't it A lot of the synth stuff i do at the moment is covers so for the sounds i use, i program my gaia to get as close a sound to the original track. Then simply save the patch and recall it for the song. I've got Gaia Sound design software which allows me to see all 3 tone paths and edit them accordingly, makes programming sooo much easier. I can spend hours just sitting and creating different bass sounds on it, i love it

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1327536022' post='1513209'] There are two separate issues here. One is that good and bad taste are highly subjective, so there can be no consensus. [b]Second is that many musicians are too insecure so that the music they produce gets blanded out to the point where it's only distinguishable features are the quantifiable elements like technique.[/b] [/quote] Absolute nonsense.

[quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1327171526' post='1507446'] Great job jake! Thanks for this, looks like a great resource. [/quote] No worries mate, just sharing what i've found [quote name='daz' timestamp='1327254845' post='1508417'] Whats happened to link 19: Level 42 dots ? the URL link has gone sqwuiffy. Have you got [i]Something about you - [/i]dots ? [/quote] Seems to work for me mate, Something about you doesn't seem to be on there. I'm no entirely sure of the legality of that site anyway as it seems to be transcriptions by Stuart Clayton from his books.

I agree exactly with Molan. IIRC, Fodera's prices are what they are from charging a set rate per hour. So the really expensive basses are that much because they take a lot longer to build & the craftsmanship is amazing. I'm sure its been said, but a bass is worth what someones willing to pay for it. The same as anything else. I've got a friend at Uni who is 19 and has a £30000 cello. Its not the best you can get but it's what he's had to pay to get the instrument he needs.

I listen to anything that's thrown my way. I'm a big pop & hip hop fan though. I play what ever pays. But do have a funk outfit on the side!
