What annoys me sometimes in the TB for sale forums is you cannot search for terms less than 3 letters, so one cannot look for 'UK' items very easily! Probably saved me a few grand though, so swings and roundabouts, eh!

Hello from a fellow TBer! We have a few southpaws here so jump right in and I will see you around!

Would be a nice xmas present for someone!

Well I didn't say I was using it for basses ;0)

I will be checking one of these out soon:

Cool avatar!!

Awesome

John,

The SMX is a pedal, but the Line6 is built into the XT pro (and I think the XT and LIVE models). However there is a pedal they do called the 'constrictor' [url="http://www.zzounds.com/item--LINMS4"]http://www.zzounds.com/item--LINMS4[/url] but I cannot find if is based on the LA-2A like the pod one. The other compressors in the pod (based on a MXR Dynacomp and something else) are not as good in my opinion - just like the real things!

Dood - let me know if you want to try it and I can post it to you to play with.

I have a Trace SMX dual band compressor I might be selling soon so if interested send moi a PM!

Cheers

P.s my fave compressor ever is the Line6 LA-2A model, just amazing!

I bought a Trace SMX compressor from Nik, I thought I had left feedback already but just in case, Nik was a true gent and a very talented player. Really nice to meet you and hope to see you again soon mate!

They both sound very nice - interesting to hear the similarities given the several thousand pound difference, too.

I think I prefer tone A, and I think tone B is the vintage bass.

I had a Hartke A35 combo which did this too - the little pop and squeak used to be quite amusing and I miss it now! I think it has something to do with capacitors de-charging or something, but it is normal I think.

I don't fully understand what is going on here but this strikes me as a funny way of getting attention.

Joe sent me a chrome jazz 5 ashtray cover free of charge which was cool. Otherwise a thoroughly nasty bit of work ;0)

Great!! I Loved Dave's bass and I am sure this is going to be as stunning. It's my fave single cut shape so far!

...more man tears :'(

No dice I am afraid Dood. Looks like I have had my fun for the week.

Oooooh thats fun!

Sorry Rich!! Addictive isn't it? I think part of the attraction of Ishibashi is the mystique surrounding some of the models they have, as much as the good prices and service.

Another recommendation of Bassjamm from me! Lovely chap

Yes it also helps people find us through search engines when a piece of equipment has been sold on the forum.

I have edited the original post for you matey

The whole loop think in Ableton confused me at first, as it seemed the default view and setup was geared towards this rather than traditional recording like you mention, meaning the latter took a while to work out. I guess that if you programmed several loops of different drum beats/keyboard parts for example you could trigger them with a midi device and play over the top, meaning like you could create lots of little loops and parts. If you wanted to then record all of that, you could arm a single audio track taking the audio from the master and record it all onto the one track, or presumably do each track separately as per the demo music . The lessons built in to Ableton are quite good if you happen to find one covering what you need.

Hi Mike,

I use Ableton too - make sure you have all the tracks selected you want rendered and the selection envelope covers the length of the part you want rendered. Then try it again! This should work OK. At least you haven't done what I have managed to do before - record a groove, render it and quit without saving, only to find you haven't got anything in the final wav/mp3 file!! Doh.
