SWR Redhead? Apart from the weight criteria, I think you are ruling out a few amplifiers that get the sound you want by not wanting a Trace, Ampeg or Warwick.

I would love to hear it! Get some samples up if you can! Who took the pro photographs?

Hi Chris,

I did consider it, but thought I might wait and see what Live LE is like first. However I am really enjoying Cubase and as it is the full thing, I don't need to change now which is great.

Alright, that didn't take long -

I re-installed the driver and tried changing the driver in cubase - same problen. When my computer came back I went into the 'AISO Multimedia Setup' menu on the taskbar and found the pod xt pro was 'un ticked' - a swift ticking later I restarted cubase and switched the driver with everything crossed - lo and behold it worked. Everything as it should be - zero latency and crisp audio.

Thanks very much for the help - my next question will be about using Reason as a VST plugin but let me explore Cubase a little first!

Cheers

Hi chaps,

I don't think the driver is the problem as I have used the pod successfully in many places with various software without any problems (even got it working with Cubase earlier this week with no problems whatsoever). I will get myself a cup of tea, sit down and have a god go at reinstalling it all today. More news and updates soon!!

And here is mine (I wanted to start a thread but my browser is still weird and won't let me!)

Hi all,

Well today I went up to Manchester (never been before - lovely place!) to BASS DAY! Although I was only able to stay for a couple of hours I was thoroughly impressed with the venue, the companies and people there and the line up of acts, the sound in the auditorium and the value of the event. A massive thanks and congratulations to Gary and the team for a superb event. Next year I hope to be there from the very start to the bitter end, and to meet more of you lot. As it was, I chatted to as many people as I could - great to catch up with Mr. East, Alpha Dave and to meet Mr Shuker and several basschatters. What a fantastic day. I left with a massive smile on my face.

So - how did you like it? What was the best live act? Did I miss anything fun? Does anyone have any pictures?


Cheers

Thanks matey, sounds like a good idea, I probably have messed the settings up somehow. Will do this tomorrow and report in!

Thanks

An ABY box will do the trick. Cheap, too.

I recently got Cubase SX 3 and played around with it. My setup is bass into Pod XT pro into laptop via USB, then I listen to the mix etc from the headphone port on the pod. This has always sounded excellent with Ableton Live and so on. However I am having trouble getting Cubase to work.

I initially had a mess about and managed to get the pod to work - I selected it from the 'devices' menu and that was basically it. I uninstalled it (long story) and put it back on a bit later only to find that every time I try and choose Pox XT pro from the devices menu it crashes and I get the good old blue windows XP screen with white text and my system restarts.

Can someone PLEASE talk me through, step by step, what to do? I can't for the life of me work out what I did originally and don't have the patience to sit through a system restart every time I try!

There is something under the programme group on the start menu called ASIO driver settings or something where you can select the 'in' and 'out' bits - the normal setting says 'realtek audio' or similar - referring to my PC sound card presumably. Underneath each is the pod. I have ticked both and made them the primary ones but when I run the test there is loss of data or something meaning it wont work...

HELP!
PED!

I want to see him 'demonstrate' it

Wake me up if this ever needs moderating chaps, ta

Hi Nik,

So you are getting on well with the Roscoe Beck? Good stuff. I agree about Peavey gear - every bit I have tried has been brilliant, and seemingly very under-rated in terms of output power. There is a review of their new Neo 4x10 in bass Player mag and they like that too - great gear at great prices.

call WD music products - last time a bought a Badass (a while ago admittedly) They had various colours available.

Good luck!

Looks good, that! Nice one Gizmo!

Homer, lovely wood grain on that one - is it one piece?

Rich - my fave looking Shuker bass I think!

Actually, have you seen this thread??

No worries ;0)

Who is doing the finishing job on your bass?

That should look nice on that bass - you don't see too many orange-ish basses these days! Here is mine, if it is of any use:



In different lights it goes from bright yellow to amber to bright orange!

Alright Stickmatey,

I spoke with a Line 6 employee at Music Live and also to someone who works there via email beforehand, both said they could neither confirm or deny rumours' whilst various people have told me it will be around the first quarter next year.

I was also under the impression that is was basically an XT pro with a few extras, but apparently it's the hardware (processor) that has been greatly improved over the previous version, meaning the tones are more efficiently produced and have more of what I guess you might call headroom. There has been some discussion about it here [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365610&page=4"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...5610&page=4[/url] which is all very interesting. I am skeptical about it sounding 'better' as I am so happy with my XT I don't want it to sound any different to an extent, but will definitely buying one anyway.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

That sounds like a good plan! I might add that even at the fairly dirty sound it still had plenty of bottom and definition, so I could hear the nuances of each bass coming through which was really nice. Would definitely be interested in trying out any others you build - and the paint job certainly set it apart from everything else on the stand!!

Cheers

Hi Dave,

I was there on Saturday and did watch a couple of people try it out through the Berg 610. From what I heard it sounded very full but quite dirty - we had a go at calming it down but were not too familiar with the controld and so on - we found that by turning the 'Bright' switch off and easing back on the treble it warmed up very quickly, so I should have liked to have spent longer with it and exploring it. It struck me straight away as a fascinating piece of kit.

Oysh Oysh!! Another bass? What's wrong with you boy.

I can't WAIT until the X3 rack is released (new year apparently). Will DEFINITELY be checking one out, but like I said to you at some point, I don't see how they can improve the actual sounds at all! Now I have lived with mine for some time and used it all over the place, I am really happy - and just when I thought I was safe, the X3 comes along and rocks my unstable and GASsy little world!!!
