I ended up putting the compressor last in the chain under the logic that I could use it to shape the tone after fuzz/envelope has screwed around with it. It didn't even cross my mind that having the Pre-amp first would mean if I used it as a DI it wouldnt send my effects to the front desk? I have a DI on my amp anyway.. Suppose I'll just use it there and swap if need be later

I may have a spare room in my sock drawer..

Okay so I've got my board set up as: DI/PRE-AMP > Tuner > Octaver > Envelope > Fuzz Where would you suggest to put the compressor? Also any issues with the above? Cheers!

Bought an Aguilar Octamizer from Goblin.. Came the next day and sounds amazing!

Nice, what program did you use?

I was gutting my bookcase the other day and found his Slap Bass DVD in amongst the books.. It was a bit above me when I originally bought it but now I reckon I can give it a crack!

Awesome thanks buddy

Yeah I've got the Ireal Book on my Iphone, sometimes a pain looking at it on a smaller screen though..

Anyone know where I can access chord charts for standards online? Till I get my Realbook of course.. At the moment looking for Mingus stuff especially!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1401283902' post='2462017'] The mode from the melodic minor is Dorian b9 or Phrygian major 6. It produces a minor chord you have the minor 3rd - F and minor 7 - C. Harmonised though it's usually written as Dsusb9, and has the 4th instead of the minor 3rd. It's not D7b9 because that would need the 3rd, which is a minor. [/quote] That makes more sense now.. So if you were to write it as a chord on the stave. Would you write it R 4th 7th b9th?

So I should consider it a D7sus4 with a b9? Never really looked into sus chords before. If it doesn't specify what note is being subbed in should I assume it is the 4? I know you can get sus2 chords which is why I assumed it was the b9 replacing the third..

Looking into melodic minor chords and in the key of C the second chord would beD7susb9 when considering the upper extensions. What would be the logical way to write this out for instance in an exam? What intervals would I put? 1 5 7 b9 D - A - C - Eb? My main concern is that I realise I'm substituting the 3rd for the 9th, but does this mean I would leave a gap in the stave where the 3rd would be? Surely it would be incorrect to put the 2nd in its place as that's not what the chord is specifying.. I was always told that when you have upper extensions you must first put all the first octave intervals in. Hopefully that makes sense to somebody?

Ah I do transcribe on manuscript paper but I want to upload them to people etc on here. Thanks guys!

Nice one, cheers!

I want to start writing up my own transcriptions for practice yada yada.. What's the software everyone is using? Thanks!

Just a quickie.. When notating 7th chords with a different note in the bass do you notate it as an inversion and follow the notes in order or just start with the new bass note and skip it later in the interval formula? E.G - Gmaj7/B - Would you notate it in the order of 1) B, G, D, F# (3rd, Root, 5th. 7th) OR 2) B, D, F# G (3rd, 5th, 7th, Root. 1st Inversion of Gmaj7 Arpeggio) Thanks guys!

At the risk of sounding like a fool.. What is dirt? haha Yeah I have been running the fuzz before the envelope to get that nice synthy sound but I will now be putting one after aswell! Thanks for the input (Slight Pun? ) Cheers!

Not that I understand fully how but I am under the understanding that the order in which I place my pedals on my pedalboard will effect my tone etc? Looking for a bit of advice on setting my board up I currently have: Aguilar Tone Hammer (I've been advised to have this as the last thing before my amp) MXR Envelope Filter Ashdown Compressor Pedal Boss FZ-5 Bass Big Muff Behringer Bass Tuner (I know. It's terrible) SOON - Aguilar Octamizer Any advice on the placement in chain for these? Thanks guys!

I need to sell some gear so might as well do it through here if I can! I understand you have to be a subscriber to use the sales forums, how do I become a subscriber? Is it a one-time payment or ??

Bought an Aguilar Tonehammer Pedal from Johnny. Great communication and quick delivery. Deal with confidence!

Ah fair enough. Simon from Cable Club is a great promoter to get in with, looks after his bands!

I'm afraid I'm gigging elsewhere in Brighton or I'd happily come along. Are you going through Simon from Cable Club for the gig?

Prince Albert is a great venue! Great sounds, play there regularly with a few bands

Bought a set of flats off from Loz. Posted as soon as Paid him on the 5th and were here and ready to gig by the 8th! Great Communication and Speedy Dispatch..
