(Also has brand new strings fitted and the action is set low!) -
Specifications are like the newer model: https://www.cortguitars.com/product/item.php?ca_id=103020&it_id=194&page=1 but I am pretty sure that the fretboard is Rosewood on my model and the neck could be Wenge and Maple. Either way, I think a better combination. Ahha! Here: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Cort_A6_Plus_OPN.html •CONSTRUCTION: Neck-thru •CUTAWAY: Double Cutaway •BODY: Figured Maple Top on Mahogany Body •NECK: 5pc Maple & Wenge, 1F 20.5mm, 12F 22mm •BINDING: N/A •FRETBOARD: Rosewood, 15 3/4" Radius (400mm) •FRETS: 24 / Large (2.7mm) •SCALE: 34" (864mm) •INLAY: Abalone Dot with Black Circle •TUNERS: Hipshot Ultralight Tuners •BRIDGE: Hipshot Trans Tone Bridge (6) •PICKUPS: Bartolini MK1-6/F & MK1-6/R •ELECTRONICS: Bartolini MK-1 EQ / 1v, 1blend, 3band, EQ on-off switch •HARDWARE: PT (Platinum) •STRINGS: D'addario EXL 170-6(XL 032~130) LONG SCALE 5ST • •COLORS: •A6 OPN - Open Pore Natural The bass is used and unlike my usual sales, it has dips and dings over it, especially on the leg cutaway but nothing that actual impedes playing. There are obvious patches where the instrument finish has become shiny through having been played but it has no mechanical issues. Electronics are also fine as I type. From a distance it still looks fine and its not as if you're going out gigging with an ugly instrument, but do not expect it to be perfect. Collection only UNLESS you arrange your own courier and insurance. I do have a decent shipping box to send it in, but shipping is your responsibility entirely.

https://ebssweden.com/content2/new-ebs-billy-sheehan-signature-drive-deluxe/ I'm pretty sure you'll know all about this one. It's my favourite drive pedal. This particular example is my spare and thus has never been used. It's still in the bag, in the box with the included Y cable. I'd absolutely keep it if it weren't for rising debts forcing me to let some of my favourite gear go. Shipping is probably going to be around £8 Special Delivery mainland England delivery which I will absorb, anything higher will need to be added on - i.e. shipping further afield. Price reflects condition. (Lowest web prices ~£170 for this model, £215 for the Ultimate). Payment by bank transfer. -
My years of chasing a channel strip style signal path in my own bass gear has lead me to my fave amp, the Bergantino B|Amp. The parametric EQ, parallel compression and bendable drive elements alone are worth the saving of rack space. I must find a picture of my old "touring" behemoth with it's 10u rack! The whole lot fits in my gig bag now! If the B|Amp didn't exist, I think I'd be trying to get the Scheps Omni Channel Plugin from Waves or the UniChannel (which is excellent) from United Plugins working on hardware!

EMG's PHZ is a passive P pickup with covers. I think I have a set somewhere but I have earmarked the Geezer set for an incoming project. >>> https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/phz.html <<<< Look at the Dimarzio Will Power P pickups too. They have tons of mid range and sound pretty good too. For something a little sexy looking and passive, Billy Sheehan's new Dimarzio Relentless pickups with curved ramped tops. https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/standard-bass/relentless-middle

Stereo Chorus following at least one high gain distortion pedal. On a restricted budget I'd say go for one of the little Zoom pedals and you'll be able to get a sound similar to this. Even the Zoom B1 and Zoom B1X models are good.

Inspired by @niceguyhomerpost that was recently resurrected in to Zombie Thread status, I'm responding to this post simply because it was the oldest post I could find on BassChat. Childish I know, but I wonder what Basschatters will say looking back on their own posts in 2007!

I've just been for a scroll through too and similarly reminded of some names I've not seen in there 'ere parts more recently!

Its stunning mate and so very good to see you at the show too! It has been SO long and for a very brief moment it didn't twig that it was you - but that's more to do with my poor memory these days!
-
Lovely, thank you! I've most of the plugins in the bundle that I've had for free too, but the HG-2 and ShadowHills Comp I've never tried.

I found a picture on Talkbass!

I've a little two input mixer made by Max of SFX-Sound. It's called a micro mix and it's a microphone pedal sized enclosure. - You can, if you are handy with a soldering iron make up a passive mixer network just resistors, even mounted inside the jacks of a custom Y cable, but its handy to know what the idea values would be.

I’m afraid not, but I’m looking to video review Jon’s basses when I can.
-
I’m following this build for sure! Jon Shuker is a very talented luthier with an incredible attention to detail. He’ll be able to build what you want. I should know too, I’ve been very picky and incredibly detailed with all my builds (and the next one I have planned) and he has delivered every time exceeding expectations!

1971 Precision (with 66/67 pots), vgc ON HOLD - *SOLD*
Dood replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
Gorgeous! Wow! -
Those brands who did attend and stick it out deserve a huge pat on the back and thanks for all the effort they've put in as I know those pitches were not cheap! So, from me, it's a huge thank you!

Hello all ACC attendees over the weekend! I was there too. I'll stick something up on Sm later, but to be honest I didn't take too many pictures. It was however brilliant to see some familiar and friendly faces there, even if the attendance at the G&B show was rather low. It was more of a social for me versus goin to try basses out, but I did talk to brands about arranging video reviews. We popped in to the drum show yesterday and it was a huge difference. Lively, lots of noise and bustle. I enjoyed the performances in the hall and that so many brands were attending. It's a shame the G&B side of things didn't turn out as well. PRS left on Saturday afternoon I understand? If you were there and I didn't say hi / didn't recognise you / we've not met in person before outside of BC, then it's a shame as it would have been a cool opportunity to make acquaintances given that it was actually hard to fill the whole day with just bass gear!

The question has been answered already but I have fallen foul of the same before even on high quality cameras. Now I do a sanity check to ensure that all of the source recording kit is set to match each other. In my case, 25fps, 24bit, 48Khz. Nearly all of my audio editing happens in my DAW that I use to record the multichannel audio. This could include automating the muting of the Lav mic when bass is playing. I drop the separate audio files (Lav Mics, Bass, DI, Room whatever) in to my video editing software along with the multi camera angles (and the onboard camera sound to help with syncing) then once locked I edit my footage in the video app. Some final audio tweaking happens in the same app before exporting my footage. I shoot in 4K and export to 2K unless I am requested otherwise.

Compression, anyone else here like using a tonne of it?
Dood replied to shoulderpet's topic in Accessories and Misc
Yes! Exactly! - I tend not to limit my bass signal at this point in my signal chain, so the clean blend allows the transients to come through, but rather I use my compression to lift the quieter content (from a multi-band point of view) up in level. It really does work well with overdrive too! I've always been a fan of riding that edge of drive to make an instrument sound a bit more gritty without going in to full distortion. Parallel compression helps me to do that, but I can still make it bite if I dig in. My other favourite setting is a band-pass style distortion which I would describe as a more "bow on double bass strings" type sound, a very smooth distortion that is also possible using really high compression settings but blending that direct signal in to both the compression and the drive. In this case, I may turn the treble down on the clean signal too, because some settings tend to sound like two separate instruments rather than one cohesive sound. Then there's the option of some cheeky bus compression at the end of the chain set to "glue" mode ha ha! -
Here's a magazine column about ramps: https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2013/04/03/bass-ramps-the-how-and-why/ Which I reference simply because they included a picture of my Shuker bass at the top

QuoteNah. Was interested when it was a bass show, but quietly changing it to the electric, acoustic and bass show without telling ticketholders was a bad move. lost all interest.
Yeah it is disappointing. As an exhibitor I like a bass only show, as it means that I can be sure everybody walking past my booth is interested in what I am showing.
However. Paid in full to do the show in 2020. So it's not like it's costing me anything. Look forward to seeing you guys there. We have new UK made basses (SWB Deluxe, SWB-1, CHB-1 and CHB-2) on show! Come check them out.

Dood replied to shoulderpet's topic in Accessories and Misc
I'm a multi-band (Parallel) compressor kinda guy. I like to hear a bit of compression as an effect, but maintain the fullness and clarity of my original bass signal. -
Thank you so much for sharing my review! Even now, I still think the Spectracomp is great. There's no other triple band compressor I can think of on the market this small, that is this simple and easy to use, yet so complex if one wants.
