[quote name='chilli' timestamp='1342050245' post='1728925'] SA Dual Expression pedal --- Subdecay Echoboc --- SA BEF Pro --- ss/bs TAFM --- SA MWD Pro --- ss/bs TAFM w/gate It started sometime in june, a late night conversation on skype with a mate (drummer, producer) reminiscing about the good ole days and ended with us looking to start a side project. Its not much, but this is where I am. Will have a 2nd hand Fuzzrocious GS next week to throw in there, bit of a fuzz off with the TAFM's . Pedal want list as long as my arm, just need to raise some cash. [/quote] Great start! I take it you've got very long arms?

Sounds like a win to me!

It looks like a byoc or similar. Without hearing his sound, I'm gonna take a stab at it being a dirt pedal.

What about plugging the bass straight into the desk? I've done that a few times & had no issues.

I don't have a back up amp, but what about specialist insurance? Does that not get an emergency replacement out to you straight away?

Tuner is best at the start, the rest is really up to how you want to sound. Some people will say stick the compressor 1st, some will say last, some will say in the bin. As for the EQ, it depends if you're wanting to shape what's going into pedals or what's coming out of them. Putting it after gain effects means you can roll off the top end to remove the harshness, but you might be trying to get that harshness. Play about with your pedal order, it's 1/2 the fun of having pedals. You'll probably move them about again in a year or so.

Moog Bass Murf does a very similar effect to what you're after. But it's not the cheapest or smallest pedal (you could get a seperate Fanger & Distortion pedal to fit in the same space & have some change for another pedal). But what it does, it excells at.

My recommendation is a 2nd hand Markbass 2x10 combo (or save a little more & get new). But they're very reliable. Reason being, I was in the same position (pub rock band) & tried countless rigs. Ended up settling on a combo (for quickness) & 2x10 because a 1x15 doesn't have as good a dispersion & I wasn't sure the 1x12 would do the job. Another good option would be a Barefaced cab with any of the decent small heads (there's loads that'll fit in budget). There's a lot of good gear in her budget though, so get her to try loads of different rigs. As for a 4x10, I wouldn't recommend one over a 2x10.

Headphones aren't working (cat chewed the wire) & my Mrs is writing a tutorial for a magazine, so I have to wait until she's finished (been at it since Wednesday!

Top bloke & great interview. Still no sound to listen to your live stuff yet

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1341835964' post='1724741'] You'd be better off stacking them all together rather than at opposite sides of a stage. [url="http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=398"]http://billfitzmauri....php?f=10&t=398[/url] [/quote] That would be one mighty tall tower! You'd need a Simon Snorkel to get to the amp. If you're doing things in stereo, I think you would get a better stereo reproduction if the cabs was at opposite sides

Buying s/h pedals off here has the advantage of "If you don't like it, sell it again" & there's usually no loss.

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1341743307' post='1723344'] Turn down the bass and treble and crank the volume. [/quote] My thoughts exactly!

Are you looking for a combo or an amp to go with your 1x15? Scrap that, you said "rack mountable", so that rules out the combo. I'll get 1st shout & say try some Mark Bass amps. Well within your budget, or are you looking to buy a cab as well & keep in budget? If you want a cab too, then Barefaced gets a lot of love (even from those who don't own any).

They could have just kept it simple and used the instrument name instead... You Cou(ld) Lay Leigh

My mandolinist told me that a few years ago, but I think you'd have to hear someone say it to understand it. I think it's G C E A. The G being the one above the C & E in the scale & the A above that. Like this actually... And sung "My Dog Has Fleeeeeeeeez"

I'd like a stereo rig with 2 Big Twins stacked either side of the stage.

I never liked much in the way of classical but I always liked 1812 & Holst's The Planets. Bach's Cello Suites are pretty good & you can learn them on bass too, so good for some solo stuff & good for getting the fingers moving. They ain't easy though (but fun never the less).

Oh & Epifani do a nice amp too!

And the amp would probably put out @ 350 watts to one 8Ω cab if you turned it right up (& maybe fry the voice coil).

1. You could try taking the baseplate off & turning it over (so the rubber is inside the case). But if you get some decent heavy duty Velcro & wipe the rubber with some meths, it should stick ok. 2. As long as your 9v PSU supplies enough amps & your polarities are ok, then fine. 3. There isn't a "best way" as such, it's down to what YOU like. Experimentation is the key (& 1/2 the fun). Other advice? Learn to spell Board & listen to classical music. Recommended pedals? If you don't know what you're gonna use, then plug into your computer or get a multi fx. No point buying a type of pedal someone else suggests as you might have no use for it. I'd say get a Moog Bass Murf, but you might find it as useful as a brick. I on the other hand, love what it does.

I'd use some of your money on a day trip to a decent bass shop & try some amps out. Otherwise you're gonna get recommended what we use. +1 for Markbass, had the2x10 combo for some time more & no issues to report.
