Dood

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='369429' date='Jan 3 2009, 05:48 PM']maybe Jon just needs to give it an extra push... [/quote] and breath and breath and breath and.... puuuuuush!!!

Jon he say "Baby doodle is almost there" and I should be getting some pics through in the next day or so! No more news at the moment I'm afraid.

I'll have to see if I still have pics of some of my own 'franken rigs' from the past. I used to run an Ebs compressor into an MXR M-80 into a Stereo digital EQ then into my TC Electronics GForce then into a Powersoft 2004 power amp. The signal path was a bit more in depth as I had a second channel of clean EQ'd bass running side by side with the dirty. This signal path has been carried through all of my set ups for years... but yesterday, in a moment of madness my rig has slimmed down to just my MarkBass F1 and TC.. Off to a gig tonight to try out my simplified system to see if I like it or not! GULP!!! Incidently, I used to have a very simple rig that I loved.. I used a BK Electronics power amp module (that you can easily fit into a cabimet to make it active (Like thise Bergantino powered cabs) and drove the amp with my M-80. I went to rehearsals with one bass, one cab and one pedal ;o) It was an awesome little rig!

As mentioned above, check everything and don't rule out that there could be something wrong with the mains in the venue as well as the equipment you are using. It does sound like you are having an earth loop issue. It sounds like the earthing of your amp is not the same as your earthing on your PA. The difference in voltage is causing the shock.. oh heck... here's someone who can explain it a lot better than I! I have played in many a venue where this is a problem!

And there was one going sooo cheaply in the for sale forum the other day too ;o)

I have used and owned both. The Behringer isn't bad for the money and is quite useable, though I think line 6's current product line is seriously good. It depends on what you need as it seems to me that quite a lot of bass players don't like patches and routing systems under their feet, but would prefer a more simplistic manual 'pedals' lay out. If, however you like to be able to tweak and save settings to your hearts content, I would recommend the POD XT Pro as a full on recording and live tool.

[quote name='The Burpster' post='29955' date='Jul 10 2007, 07:09 PM']Well folks, we have a dedicated ebay forum. I'm not going to preach to you about how to behave, I would however like to suggest a few points for you to consider before you post a thread....... 1.eBay is MUCH larger than Basschat and reflects society, so for every 1 of us that is SSSsssssoooooooo into basses there is probably 4 or 5 that bought a bass played it for a few weeks and got fed up. These then end up on the 'bay ! 2.Not everybody on eBay is a scammer. They may GENUINELY not have the depth of knowledge that the average contirbutor on here has and hence thier descriptions may not be accurate. 3. Any article is only worth what someone is willing to pay....... They may WANT £1500 for a 2003 MIM P Bass but realistically we know that aint gonna happen. .If it doesnt sell they loose out not us ! 4. Flippant comments are not helpful and can be hurtful and desstructive.... please just think before you put... [i]"this ebayer is a lying scumbag scammer !" [/i] Even if you have some evidence to support this comment it would be more pertinent to put EXACTLY what your evidence is and what you did about it. Remember the person selling that bass may also be a basschatter! 5. You can put POSITIVE on here as well. If you've had a really good deal let the rest of us know about it. 6. If you have have been subject of a fraud/ scam /or just really bad service----- let the relavant authories know first, so that when you post on here you can update with what has happened. If you can think of anything I've missed let me know please.. Enjoy the forum and use it well, it can and should be an excellent resource[/quote] Folks, could you make the title of the post a bit more meaningful to help those who are looking for something in particular? So instead of:- "OMG! Have you seen this!!" do:- " Fender 76 P bass £00.1p" with "Run over by a tractor" on the next line. Also helps those who use 'LoFi' mode on the forum.

[quote name='Bassmonster' post='360123' date='Dec 21 2008, 11:43 AM']Another update from Jon, he's not quite happy with the setup, so he's working on it today, so hopefully i will still receive it on tues, he did send me some pics though, in Jon's own words there not that great, these pics were taken before the "knobs" were attached, i think it looks great. [attachment=17558:DSCN5078.jpg] [attachment=17559:DSCN5079.jpg][/quote] WOO HOOO more pictures of Shuker goodness! Looks awesome, even without the knobs attached!

[quote name='eude' post='360740' date='Dec 22 2008, 10:05 AM']Back on topic, your headless bass is making me GAS so damned hard for a headless 6er of my own, I think I might have to stop checking this thread till I can afford a deposit!... Cheers, Eude[/quote] *£&*&$£buy*$£*£(()" ^£^($headless($*")" "^$&$*Skuker^£($)$%*% "%)_$&£^"bass^£%"&$$ Someone say something?

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='360138' date='Dec 21 2008, 11:56 AM']I went to see Jon on Friday on my way through to a Leeds gig and managed to get a few shots of the instrument. He still needs to deal with some blemishes and flatten back some overspray but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. [/quote] Beautiful!!!! Absolutely!!! The top looks amazing - in 'real life' I reckon it's mouthwatering!

[quote name='flychris' post='355337' date='Dec 15 2008, 08:24 PM']I use a complete Tecamp Rig, (shown [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=27218&view=findpost&p=338832"]HERE ![/url] ) and with a little comment [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=27218&view=findpost&p=340845"]HERE ![/url] If you need more informations, don't hesitate ! I already had different contacts with Thomas Eich, which is very professional... I have the good adress to contact him directly if necessary...[/quote] Nice ;o) Yes, I have chatted with Thomas too. It's always great to ask a question and get a useful response from 'the man at the top'!

Have you checked out our Groove Library forum yet?

p.s. - as has been mentioned already, on a laptop, do yourself a favour and disable any communications hardware that you aren't using, especially WIFI. (Not just the software!)

[quote name='WalMan' post='356935' date='Dec 17 2008, 01:44 PM']I have tried changing settings as Ped says, switching off everything I don't need (like the internet connection, firewalls & virus checkers) to no avail. When I am recording using the USB I normally set the input in Tracktion and then mute the output of the track the POD/BOD is going into. With headphones on from the POD you get the live sound of the POD, with no latency, and the track for monitoring, and you will probably find you do not need to set any offset on the track. Once you have recorded you can then unmute the POD track output to hear the mixed playback (and if there is any offset to the backing you are playing along to just zoom in on the view in tracktion and slide your bass track back as necessary. I am thinking of getting a UX2 to get around other problems experienced recording ......[/quote] The UX2 comes highly recommended from me! - I'm using it on *gasp* a laptop with Vista 64bit ultimate and it is excellent. The tone direct monitoring allows latency free recording and the quality of the recording is fantastic. I am currently using Reaper 64bit as my DAW, along with Cubase and Superior 2 and all but Cubase seems to be fine.. though it maybe down to the fact that my version of Cubase *shouldnt* work with Vista lol ;o)
