Thanks chaps I'm actually only moving about 500m down the road, but the house has a garage for my '6 and it's a really nice place. I can't wait!! I better say goodbye now, but I'm really excited about the new software too, fingers crossed it won't take too long, and though it requires a lot of work, it will be well worth it!! Cheers ped I'll leave you with some lovely doggie vids: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMh08qKYq0U&feature=feedlik"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMh08qKYq0U...feature=feedlik[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjblqE3xHk&feature=feedlik"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjblqE3xHk...feature=feedlik[/url]

Hi Basschatters! A few messages for everyone. First of all, I am moving house as of tomorrow so will not have internet except for on my mobile for a few weeks. We are trying to get Virgin Broadband but the line doesn't extend to our house so we are having to look at having it extended or look at other options. In the meantime please contact me by email (by using the button in my profile page) rather than sending a PM. Secondly, the 'Ask An Expert' forums will be closing in a few weeks, to simplify the affiliation and advertising rules. The threads in each of those forums will be moved to their appropriate sections. DHA and Alexclaber will still be about but probably in the 'Amps and Cabs' or 'Repairs' areas and they will be operating on a non commercial basis (unless they post in the affiliates marketplace area). The final thing is that we have been saving up and will soon be upgrading to a new version of the software which we use on this forum. There are lots of benefits and it should bring BC into 2011 with a fresh new look and advanced functionality. Crazykiwi is managing the changeover as I'm absent so please direct any questions to him. See you in a few weeks and keep it low ped and Nellie

Done

Just listened for first time to original video. Reckon it's quite cool and sounds like it was fun... Just my two pence ped

Perhaps the organisers would like to donate some prizes to the person who suggests this??[/quote] They are contacting me after the NAMM show so we might be able to do something soon! ped

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1085151' date='Jan 11 2011, 08:49 AM']My shock and dismay at the op cannot be expressed in words. I'm just going to leave this here [/quote] I have this album at my parents house but have barely listened to it... I don't remember this track at all! I'll get it back and give it a few spins, sounds like there's more to it than I gave it credit for! ped

I used to really enjoy Primus, haven't listened to them for some time now, but I find all of Les' more recent stuff a bit TOO 'wacky', but sort of wacky for the sake of it. Fair play (or should that be 'Hats off') to him though, nice work if you can get it!

Harsh but kind of fair.

Interesting, thanks Dan. ped

I'm usually playing in passive, but if I need to I can flick a switch and make adjustments with the active circuit. My control cavity is pretty crowded!!

Interesting read. I wasn't aware that the GR20 was MIDI though, I thought it was the same as the Vbass in that each string is processed via the extra pickup and the unit processes that without any pitch to MIDI conversion at all. Everyone says the Vbass is MIDI because it uses a 13 pin connector but I thought the only time MIDI is involved is if you want to dump all your settings to an external device via the MIDI output. In terms of the actual unit signal chain, no MIDI, hence no latency on the Vbass unit, at least? ped

The problem with moving the pickup away from the bridge isn't latency, there is never any latency with the Vbass unit, but there may be tracking issues. Try it with some double sided tape, it may be fine.

Dang! I was lucky that mine JUST fits in the gap between my bridge and pickup, but it was touch and go, the only way to really see was to buy it and pray. I don't suppose you can move the bridge saddles back a tad, the pickup is very thin (less than 1cm I think) ped

Depends on the rest of the bass. My worry would be that he would end up looking like a hippie. ped

[quote name='Hamster' post='1051341' date='Dec 8 2010, 09:06 AM']IIRC it was because he had a Pedulla bass .......... and welcome! [/quote] Yeah, my story is pretty cool too though. There was this whole thing of a quest across a volcanic dreamland fighting monsters and this little hairy midget following me and then I had to throw the bass into this mountain and stuff, but yeah, it's basically because I had a Pedulla bass.

I think there have been 4 Northampton bashes so far, actually Definitely up for another 'National' bash at some point. ped

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1043585' date='Dec 1 2010, 11:42 AM']Welcome to Basschat. Your username is very similar to Ped who runs the site. Hopefully people won't mix you up!?![/quote] I dunno, might mean less work for me!! Welcome Peds, what's the story behind the name? ped

Superb effort everyone, really sorry I couldn't be there but you chaps do the site proud and have helped raise a lot of money for a needy cause, and best of all, made a bloody racket doing it. Massive thank you to everyone involved and to those who attended, I always say it but I think events like this really help the community feel of the forums, it's so much better to have met some of the avatars, so to speak. Well done and thanks very much ped
