Dood

My three have arrived - now to see which ones will make it to my board!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1352733400' post='1866675'] In all fairness dood... you're basses do have a VERY hot output [/quote] Guilty as charged your honour!! - But, in my defense, they are just a standard 18V EMG pickup and preamp combination, so I guess others could suffer the same if they push the EQ gains a bit.

Message back from zoom about clipping the inout of the B3: [quote] [i][font="Arial"][size="2"]Dear Dan,[/size][/font][/i] [i][font="Arial"][size="2"]Thank you for your reply.[/size][/font][/i] [i][font="Arial"][size="2"]We consulted to our engineer for the B3. The B3 can't fix with firmware about the input volume. It needs to improve the hardware for hardware limitation. Therefore, please connect the preamp or volume pedal before the G3 if possible.[/size][/font][/i] [size=1][font=Arial,][size="2"]We hope you will understand the situation.[/size][/font][/size][color=#500050] [font="Arial"][size="2"]Sincerely yours,[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="2"]ZOOM CORPORATION[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="2"]===================[/size][/font][/color] [/quote] So essentially, they suggest using a volume pedal or additional preamp to attenuate the input. Not ideal, but do-able. Even a simple passive volume pot in a box I reckon!

Hi, Dood here once again with news this time from RockSchool, the accredited provider of rock and pop graded exams for bass players! (oh and those other musicians too... but not drummers. Ahh ok, so drummers can get involved too.. heh) The usual place, the 'blog' tab at the top of the screen or link: http://blog.basschat.co.uk

I'd like to tag on to this thread by asking also which is the better of the ipad interfaces out there? I'm leaning towards the Line 6 Mobile In interface, though i know the Apogee Jam is also good, yet doesn't come with the likes of Line 6's 'pod-like' software.

Yup, i agree with the above! The B3 is getting a lot of love. I've gotten the expression pedal for mine and am looking forward to setting up some cool new sounds! Yep, really like all the features of the Zoom so that gets a +1 from me.

Actually, whilst I'm here, I'll see if I can recall my basses too. Not a long list mind. My amplification has changed massively in comparison though! Marlin Sidewinder Washburn B?? Fender P Bass (late 60's poss) Tobias 6 natural Tobias 6 red Conklin Bill Dickens 7 string Aria GT Shuker 6 (buckeye) Shuker Singlecut 7 string Shuker Headless 6 string Ibanez Gerald Veasley 6 Ibanez Acoustic 5 something or other Fender Power Jazz Bass Special Fender non-export CIJ US Vintage Precision Status Energy 6 Fretless My flock is quite small these days and most of these have left. The custom Shukers take care of pretty much everything these days!

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1352327964' post='1861899'] He's still compiling the Excel sheets to upload...... [/quote] Ha! Indeed!

Oh, here! http://www.iguitarmag.com/magazine-editions/iguitar-magazine-issue-12/reviews-(1)/elixir-coated-stainless-steel-and-coated-nickel-plated-strings/ there's a video in the mag too.

I've reviewed them vs the enhanced nickel strings in Guitar Interactive Magazine. The mag is free to read online, but my poor brain can't remember which issue! They were really good.

I'm expecting Nick Smith along sooooon

[quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1352326734' post='1861870'] Dood - about 11 days in my case. Ordered on a Sunday afternoon and the post office had tried to delivery a week on Wednesday. I suspect they pool ordered and do a mass shipment once or twice a week. [/quote] Cheers fella! Appreciated! - Think I'll await delivery before looking at any others, but still hovering over the EQ - then it's time to look at replacing the LS-2 maybe!

For those who have theirs already, how soon did you get the pedals through?

No problem! Do give me a shout

Autumn and Winter sessions being booked up now!

I'm feeling very old - and not in touch with the download awards. Just scrolled down and had no idea who at least half those 'artists' were. lol

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1352202578' post='1859925'] The newer pedals have been added to the coupon code now. [/quote] Marcmart? I'm not sure if all have?

Thank you! - UX1 has bad been behaving, but just turned itself off - no light, no nothing! piece of poo!

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1352118929' post='1858868'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The "mooer132" coupon code is no longer working[/font][/color] [/quote] poop. Should have lept when I had the opportunity earlier! Oh well!

I had two 1x12 cabinets, but laziness helped me chose a 2x12! One less journey to the car!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1351843949' post='1856008'] if you assigned the expression pedal input to input gain (and you didn't need it for something else) you could have a pot wired to that jack, or even just a resistor to fix it at a certain value. [/quote] I'd thought about that, but some very nice BC chap sold a nice shiny B3 expression pedal to me recently
