  1. I must admit that I find a phase switch really useful (on my Valco KGB fuzz pedal) - seems to be something the LS2 is missing?
  2. ...and when you spend 5 mins on BC!
  3. Just realised this topic wasn't marked sold
  4. Hi Marc, very well thanks, you too I hope? I'm afraid I sold my cakes a while back so I'm unable to answer this question but someone here will still have them. If you can't plug more than one thing in at once you can chain cakes together. Cheers
  5. These are nice.. shame you're not closer!
  6. I treat each bass I've had as an experience which I am able to upload to my internal library of tone knowledge, and that helps me appreciate my next purchase and judge whether I want to keep it or not. At the same time I'm mindful about rose tinted spectacles and every bass I've sold has been for a reason. Sometimes I think I'd really like to play the Smith basses I sold, but then I remember why I sold them and can now better appreciate the qualities they offered which I did like in my next bass. Also - if you sell something and really regret it, then you more often than not have the fun of searching for another, safer in the knowledge that you're going to like it (instrument variances aside). Basically what @Beedster said. And that's how you end up with a hodgepodge mutilated vintage mustang, which anyone who plays it will know is the embodiment of everything that's good 😄
  7. I have one of these, it's really nice and UK made https://www.swiftpedals.co.uk/loopers.html
  8. In the past I’ve used Dymo label tape to cover poles. It’s stronger, and removes without mess.
  9. Indeed I can, it’s a Mustang bass with a thunderbird pickup in the neck position and a rickenbacker pickup at the bridge. It’s what Fender would have called it 😂

    Pedalboard qs

    Hi folks I'm thinking about getting a pedalboard for a handful of effects now that I have a regular 'gig' and I want to avoid using velcro. That leaves me with either Aclam 'clamps' or Temple Audio base screws. Both look fine but I'm wondering how well they'd work with a pedal which has 'feet' so that the base of the pedal isn't flush with the board. For example my Mutron has quite big feet which lift it about 1cm. I don't want to remove them (they're glued on). The clamps on the Aclam look like they'd be a bit small to grab enough of the pedal, and the base unit on the Temple Audio doesn't look like it has any travel to allow the baseplate to be anything but flush with the board itself. Is that right? Does anyone have either and can confirm? Cheers
  12. This thread has too much Tennents and not enough flats
  13. Make sure you report it to the police too, so they can sit on their arses and do absolutely nothing about it
  14. Technically they still need shielding from interference. Perhaps it wasn't done as much then as there were less electrical devices to cause it.

    🤦‍♂️
  17. Maybe not Cobalt flats though 🤭
  18. I must admit i've only recently started listening to the Beatles, and muddled my way through 'Don't Let Me Down' last night, lovely bassline to play Mind you I think I prefer this version:
  19. Someone's used an AI software like Moises to isolate the bass. Whilst it does a good job in general, it doesn't work well for showing a single instrument soloed, where you can hear some bleed, noise gate and digital artefacts. It works way better for removing an instrument from a mix, I think. But these results are enough to help you pick up the lines.
  20. This question is as old as the hills and there’s no absolute answer. You can find examples where either type of instrument is out front or back in the mix. So many other variables come into play, not least what the rest of the band are doing, the space you have, the mix - before you even get into how the bass in question makes you want to play. …but it sure is fun experimenting and getting the feeling when everything aligns and works perfectly.
  21. The Virus Ti ‘Fart & Wee’ is an addictive sound
  22. Yeah well my brother is famously relaxed about everything so information is hard to come by but they definitely got on really well. They have been messaging since, but my brother lives in Daventry which is a bit far away. Question is, can he be bothered? Watch this space, I'll post updates. I won't ask @johnbiffa if you do weddings but you never know!
  23. I’ve finally done the update and still enjoying my wazas (I’m often outside having a Waz). Despite saying I probably don’t need the foot switch I’m wondering if anyone has one who could tell us about it. Because of the *insane* menu for selecting effects and so forth in the WAZA app I’m wondering how it works for turning effects on and off, because in the app you have several in one ‘slot’ and even then they’re blended in rather than switched if that makes any sense. I mostly use a clean sound patch with a limiter and bit of reverb, but that knocks out any further effects in those slots at the same time so maybe I’d make separate patches for the ones I want and use the switches in the pedal to go ‘up and down’ through them?
