[quote name='mcnach' post='1198513' date='Apr 13 2011, 06:38 PM']that's sweet indeed! I should post my results with the micro Q-tron + bassballs combo. Not to compete! just to add another flavour.[/quote] Cheers Yeah would be great to hear! I used to have a BassBalls and it did do this kind of sound good, but I just found it lost a bit of low end. Still very interested to hear it!

Sir Psycho Sexy does it for me too though....Fuzz and a DOD FX25 gets me closer to that sound than anything else I've heard![/quote] Thought I'd try and back up that claim...

I'm currently using Reaper, still getting to grips with it really, so just chucked a quick beat together and added a couple of variations. My Analogman Chorus isn't on my board at the mo, which is the only reason I didn't use it. I'll go get it and record something! Maybe get a bit of analog delay in there? Cheers for the crits.

Ok so just a quick little demo I just knocked up using a couple of my pedals. I want to get into some LFO stuff eventually, but until budget allows I can't do much! This is my Fender/Allparts passive jazz, going into an Aguilar Octamizer with the clean signal completely off. Then I kick in an XBlender with a Swollen Pickle clone and Subdecay Proteus in the loop. The second sound I switch to is exactly the same, I just go from the sample and hold mode into filter mode on the Proteus. It's set as more of an EQ shaper than a filter, just emphasizing certain frequencies. I know it's not fantastic, as I've never really done anything in the drum and bass/dubstep vein, but I'd like to get into it so all comments and criticism will be graciously accepted!

Sorry I couldn't make this in the end guys. Sounds like you all had fun without me anyway! Let me know when the next one is and I'll try my best to be there!

[quote name='molan' post='1190108' date='Apr 6 2011, 09:16 AM']So I finally got a chance to use my DB750 & one of my DB112's at rehearsals with some decent volume last night. After a bit of tweaking (cut the tweeter right out on the cab, some mid boost on the head and a bit more bias to neck pickup on my '86 Fodera) it sounded just amazing. Cut through the mix really well and I could hear myself so clearly. I continually found myself turning down because my 'perceived' volume was louder than I'm used to. The rest of the band said I wasn't overly loud so it must have been those rich mids I was hearing A couple of people said how nice it sounded and our sound man compared it really favourably to the last session he worked on where the sound was, apparently, a puddle of mud, lol. Anyway, just wanted to share. . .[/quote] DB750 and 2 DB212's here...I know the feeling

Yeah been in contact with Dan at the GigRig. That was gonna be my first point of call, but just haven't got the money to spend on the repair yet - especially not knowing how much it will cost. Just thought I'd see if there were any other guys out there. Max at SFX is a good shout, I'll PM him.

I had a Roland Jet Phaser at one point. Awesome sound, but lost a bit of low end I found. Would be awesome in an X-Blender. You can get pretty close running a fuzz into a phaser.

[quote name='BB3000S' post='1191360' date='Apr 7 2011, 07:42 AM']Really great playing, and I absolutely love the sound of a Stingray with flats-like strings. Amazing song and delightful bassline as well.[/quote] Thanks! I don't think it was a particularly good attempt lol. It was late last night, and I was well tired. I had to redo the middle bit as I buggered it up on the first run through. So it's literally just 2 takes, the middle bit, and the rest of the song! It does sound quite nice on second thoughts, but I really prefer the zingy kind of sound on the record! [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1191413' date='Apr 7 2011, 09:02 AM']Fantastic job. I remember learning this and having to go and lie down in a darkened room every half an hour. [/quote] Cheers Pete! Nice to hear coming from a great bass player who plays Steely Dan in a tribute act! Is there anything I'm playing there that sounds wrong? There's a couple notes in the Middle 8 before the jazzy riff that I'm still not sure on.... [quote name='risingson' post='1191607' date='Apr 7 2011, 12:21 PM']Great playing mate, I'm sufficiently impressed! In fact you've just inspired me to go and record some Steely Dan stuff later on.[/quote] Cheers dude! Post it up here when you're done, I'd love to have a listen. I might have a go at Peg or Josie next

Just finished this: [url="http://soundcloud.com/higgie142/gaslighting-abbie"]Gaslighting Abbie[/url] Not perfect, there's a couple syncing issues and the odd bum note. Was just a quick demo thrown together to test out my new Audio Interface (courtesy of chriswilliams666), and the Addictive Drums VSTi in Reaper. Maple Neck Musicman Stingray 5 with dead strings and a high action. It was recorded direct with no effects added. It badly needs a setup.... Let me know what you think

You're very welcome. +1 on the community spirit. This forum has such a great bunch of members, I'd never doubt that if I was in a spot of bother, some kind soul on here would come to my rescue. The community is what we make it, so it just goes to show that there ARE some decent people left in the world!

Thanks for the reply. Already been through them, it was going to be so expensive to look at, that even if they couldn't fix it, it'd cost a bomb. Might just put it up on eBay as not working, and see if I get any bites. The sale would go towards the cost of another one!

My original DigiTech Whammy has died The LED was broken when I got it, but the actual pedal always worked fine, so unfortunately that is no indication of it working or not. It just won't pass signal, in bypass or not, from either the wet, or dry outputs. Now as you may know it's a very expensive piece of kit, and owing to it being discontinued, a replacement will be very expensive. Anyone know anywhere that specializes in this sort of thing and could take a look? Cheers James

+1 on the Proton. Would love one of these to compare to my original Mutron III

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1170257' date='Mar 21 2011, 12:49 AM']Love CW and his playing. Hysteria has a great bass part as do a load of Muse tracks. Guys got a crazy amount of stamina too[/quote] THIS! Stockholm Syndrome is an absolute BASTARD to play with fingers!

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='1164889' date='Mar 16 2011, 08:01 PM']I'd definately be up for A/B 'ing this stuff with mine ! I'll be bringing Peavey MKIV head and 2x GS12. Maybe also an Sa450 too. If transport becomes an issue, give me a shout, as I believe we're not too far from each other ? Cheers T[/quote] Very kind of you! Do you drive a Bus?

This sounds like a good one to come along to. I have a gig that night in Basildon so not too far...I'll see if the girlfriend fancies giving me a lift I can bring an Aguilar DB750, 2 DB212's, Shuker Jazz, pedalboard containing many goodies, an original Mutron III... As I said I'll have to see if a lift is available, but if there is, I can bring any/all of this lot if anyone is interested?
