  1. I'm finding the easiest (though not the cheapest) way to achieve that is with a low pass filter. I can either have it so the expression pedal controls the cutoff, or I can take a lead from the follower into either the cutoff (so the harder I dig the more it opens), into the resonance (adds more "squeak") or into the amount (if I'm wanting a funky wah when I slap or dig in).
  2. We should have more of this sort of stuff on here. Wait a minute, there's a section I rarely seem to go into (& I've no idea why)... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/31-theory-and-technique/"]Here[/url]
  3. Bad back? Drill a 1/4" hole in the lower horn (towards the middle a bit) on your bass & get a monopod for a camera & attach it to your bass (or a tripod if you want to go for a walk without your bass). Now say goodbye to that hideous strap & remove those ugly knobbly buttons.
  4. Very nice. Good review (or should I say bad review as I now want one!).
  5. Great topic! I love playing bass, especially get DnB or Dubstep sounds. Got flatwounds on my bass & can roll off all the top with the Moog LPF & bring it in as a swell on longish notes. Immense at volume
  6. My moog MF-101 used to whine like a shortwave radio. I got some sticky backed copper paper & put it on the wood sides & made sure that connected with the chassis & put it on it's own PSU. Noise free now I don't know if you could copper shield the BEF? Hopefully Will has your answers.
  7. You need to extend your tour up this waay!
  8. Semi para 4 band? LMII maybe? Wait a min, didn't the ABM replace that? If you're after a valve sound why not get a clean amp (like the LMII or whatever else) & add a pedal such as the DHA VT1 or a Sansamp?
  9. [quote name='Rumble' timestamp='1317751109' post='1394176'] I think I know where you're coming from, but to avoid assumptions, why? [/quote] If you're asking me about the Gramma Pad, then it's because it reduces the vibrations that can be enhanced by hollow stages/wooden floors. if you're asking JTUK, then I haven't a scooby
  10. I can't advise on the cab, but have you tried just dropping either the 180hz or 340hz slider to see if that helps? The other thing that might help is a Gramma Pad (if your cab is on a stage/wooden floor).
  11. I'm sure there's a mod you can do to store the stations.
  12. Another double bass??? What about this...
  13. You could probably get a 2nd hand Little Phatty for less than £750. I'm tempted!
  14. Have you tried just the power amp on it's own (no pre plugged in)?
  15. Try PMing itswac. I think he works for or with Source Audio. Oh, & whilst I notice your sig, go & have a look here... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156872-october-photo-comp-2011/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156872-october-photo-comp-2011/[/url]
  16. Still kicking yourself?! I could kick myself for not buying one a few years ago for £50, but hindsight is a great thing. They've stopped making Bass Murfs, so I'm holding onto mine until the next famous bassist uses it as a staple part of his/her sound.
  17. Maybe not actually a fix, but a workaround is to use another site to host the file. I use Flickr for pics & just put the BBCode in here & it has no trouble with it. A soundcloud link (or similar) could be used for audio files & Youchoob for videos.
  18. Believe it or not, I use my envelope filter all the time. It's even on for those 12 bar walking blues lines! I hardly use the thing as an auto wah though. I have the exp pedal into the cut off so I can have just a bassy sound during verses etc & open it up during choruses or to turn that ballad that everyone's falling asleep to into a dubstep stomper!
  19. You might want to have a look at adding a PA sub to your rig if you're after some really low frequencies
  20. Posted before, but here's my electro soundcloud... [url="http://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/sets/frequency-response/"]http://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/sets/frequency-response/[/url] I haven't got anything bass related on there yet, but I do plan to!
  21. Get some early U2 basslines. Lots of easy ones there. There's also the Cult, Electric is simple one note basslines & great fun to play along to.
  22. I'd love to go but it's a bit of a trek from up here & I'd need to be back for work the following morning if I (miraculously) made it. Ask him if he fancies doing one up in this neck of the woods?
  23. I tried it a couple of years ago. Like Dave says, one allows you to have a blend of wet & dry & the other is 100% wet through the fx loop. I've never used teh fx loop since & just run bass > pedal board > amp input.
