Dood

I had a message back from Brittany @64 recently who had suggested that demo models should be making their way over to our UK outlets, so maybe Paul at CIEM co will be getting some in soon? I'd definitely fancy the trek down just to hear them, even if my A8 are causing me much joy every time I slip them on! @64 Audio, indeed have a great show and I'll be responding to your email soon, thank you. Dood, a happy 64 Artist!

That is correct. They will work fine (usually) when placed in the effects loop of an amplifier 'head' or between a separate preamplifier and power amplifier combination. Or you could do as I have and use some sort of device that will boost your bass signal up from 'instrument level' to 'line level' then go straight in to the compressor that way, meaning it can be at the start of the signal chain which I prefer in most cases.

I've been trying to keep this picture quiet, careful, everyone will find out...

I used to love Beatallica.. A mash up of The Beatles and Metallica. There's a local band here who play punk songs on Ukuleles called The Pukes. I guess there's The Iron Maidens, the all-female Iron Maiden tribute. I do recall going to see The Lightness, a tribute to The Darkness, but I have to say they were light in all facets. Look, sound, effort and ability.

Trip to see our man at The IEM Company then!

Incidentally, to receive a stereo signal on the Fischer stick (two XLR's from the desk) in to one single XLR, it actually needs to be a special cable. I sent the schematic diagram to our very own cable genius @obbm who made me up said cable in a custom length. A normal XLR splitter won't divide the signal in to stereo. If the P2 is an exact, err, copy, then it's worth noting that their manual isn't quite right. They suggest using an XLR to TRS cable and switching the P2 to stereo is enough to receive a stereo signal. Rarely the case as I can't think of any digital desks that can switch from a balanced line XLR to unbalanced stereo XLR configuration on one single socket. In this case I would actually suggest they include Dual Female XLR to TRS (unbalanced stereo cable) as an option as these are more readily available than the custom cables from Fischer.* *Will happily be corrected if Behringer haven't completely copied the design.

Hmmm, Internationally based Cinematic Prog Metal..err Orchestral Prog.. Umm Cinematic Orches.. Yeah.. that

Further to my last, as they say. Just found a snap of my 7er.

Many years ago, a bass chatter actually worked out that the dots form a sort of scale.. a weird one mind, but that wasn't the plan. Both my 7 and my 6 string have the same inlay. I guess you could call it a single strand of a DNA helix. We originally planned (or rather I had the crazy idea) of having a complete DNA design across the fretboard. but it just looked daft. I guess we had the same view as Josie is having about LEDs in general. It was just way over the top and from a distance made no sense whatsoever. So one single thread winding down the fretboard ended up being a way more tasteful and stylish addition. Interestingly, the original design that started life on my 7 string was made up of clear blue dots. It looked understated on the massive bird's eye maple fretboard. When I came to commission the 6 string headless, we went with the same colour scheme, electronics, everything so I had a 'little sister' to the big 7er. However, unbeknownst to me, Jon Shuker was hatching a plan. A very thoughtful and kind gesture which he surprised me with when I went to collect my six string. Somehow he'd managed to keep secret that the blue dots were not blue dots.. Imagine my surprise when he flicked up the switch and my new fretboard lit up! I don't have the LEDs on all the time. Sometimes they go on just for fun and that's what they are for. No big "hey look at me" moments or ego boosts needed

Apologies for not replying sooner! I have to say that you know what, you're right. Your cabs etc should have plenty of bite. I'd give EBS_freak's suggestion a go! (The TD650 is one of my favourite amps)

That's a shame! I've just had ten minutes just to muck around with mine and I am finding that I am getting closer to the sounds in my head than ever before. Sure, I'd love HX FX to be able to do all of that so I can have an even smaller box to gig with, but this thing is making my life really easy. I'm becoming more comfortable with using Line 6 Native too, so I can take my recorded sounds out with me without too much fiddling. Stick with it a bit longer maybe Nick? Will you still be working on those extender buttons or anything like that?

It would be entirely possible, but not in this case.

Try this one. Maybe Instagram images don't show, hmmm.. can anyone else see it?

Any excuse, here are mine:

At a total load impedance of 1.6 ohms I wouldn’t recommend it with these kinda amps

Hey isteen, I think the classic can do top end, so I’d ask what bass/cabinets you are using with the EBS? Could help in diagnosing where your sparkle is

When I saw the title of this thread I wondered if it was a new phenomenon. Courier Con, like ComicCon, or a convention trade show.. Couriers meet to swap, buy and sell dented van doors. Have competitions to see who can rev the most amount of black smoke out of their engines. Then see who has the noisiest door slam or who can shout the longest meaningless abuse at passing motorists in a single breath. Prizes for who can throw a parcel the farthest without looking and best excuse for not actually showing up at an address.

I would also love an option to backup to cloud too. That would be great. I lost some amazing patches when I had to format my iPad. Totally forgot that they would be wiped out.

Rich jumped on the train today for a nice sunny trip to my homestead and we had a good afternoon talking bass and is now the owner of one of my bass cabs. A pleasure to deal with and happily paid up front before coming to collect said wee beasty! Brilliant. Nice to meet Rich and a thumbs up from me to another BC long timer. Dan

Echoing the above! Paul bought a pedal from me, super quick payment and spot on comms. Yup, no problems here at all Thanks Paul!

Without the budget it is unlikely to happen, but I do really want to try out Steinberg's Dorico, which is already in to it's version 2 release. The adverts look like it might be a great app, but possibly way more than the average punter needs.

Ooh! I've not heard of that one. I've been using Guitar Pro 7 but have been meaning to give the (free) MuseScore a go - Adam Neely I notice recommended this recently so all the more reason for me to actually try it after having the app installed for..well.. probably a year ha! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm always looking for something easy to use.
