Oh, how do you do that..? Ignore that, found it, RTFM innit.

Brilliant, thank you very much Sir! *salutes*

Excellent! In Edit or on the Stomp’s screen?

I have been working with the Stomp for a few days, oddly enough to just get base sounds for both the Godin and the Rob Allen, so trying to achieve good fundamental tones with simple EQ and compression blocks, now I’m experimenting with just a touch of reverb. My main (I won’t say problem) conundrum is one that I have always had and seems to be exacerbated by The Stomp is not knowing where to add/subtract volume. The Godin seems to have quite a normal output level but the Rob Allen has a very ‘hot’ signal. In trying to even up the presets I’ve created for each bass I’m left with a bewildering array of options for volume control. Obviously the bass has its own volume, then each block has gain or level or master, then the Stomp itself has a volume control on the front and then there is a gain on the back of the QSC. I never really knew which should be at which setting when I had a bass straight into an amp with the onboard vol and the amps gain and master so now I have the blocks + pedal vol too I’m even more confused.

For a small fee, obv. 😉

The Taylor GS Mini-e Bass. I had one of these, sounds like the perfect solution to your needs...

Criminal indeed. I remember seeing the promo for Jessie late one night after the pub, it really put the hook in me.

What a great album.

Omne delectamentum in se habentem.

This page is good for generating a collage of your albums, like this...

Met Sid this morning at a bleak and windswept Park & Ride in order to give him an unused bit of kit. Had a cracking laugh, wish I’d had more time to hang but I’m due at The Vatican at five to be installed as a Cardinal. Deal confidently, a gentleman and a scholar.

Well I’ve got four and they are excellent, I think @Stub Mandrel’s theory about bulk buying is almost certainly right, business models aside the designacables are top quality.

Blimey, really? I saw them twice and never noticed, then again I was very, very drunk.

Kraftwerk but with four Ron Mael (of Sparks) clones.

*waves*

Done.

@Lee-Man Sorry to have headed off so quickly, I had Stomp GAS (which sounds like an ailment acquired in South Carolina) you know how it is..!

Man, if there's one guitarist I miss it's John McGeoch...

I certainly have, I’ve been a huge fan for many years, I love all their albums up until ‘10’. The Stranglers have been a constant throughout, they hit me at just the right time so their music never ages or diminishes in potency for me, proper. I think Baroque Bordello is possibly my top track from The Raven, I have the record with the prismatic cover, almost as treasured as my copy of Meninblack (my favourite Stranglers album) signed by Hugh Cornwell.

An absolutely cracker, what a sound, everything about it is sinister and unpleasant. Perfect.

Absolutely right on the money.

Damn, how did I forget Bow Wow Wow and the brilliant Leigh Gorman, along with Dave Barbarossa, surely one of the best rhythm sections ever. More slap bass that I’d forgotten I loved! Another great band live.

Strange how different people hear things, one of the reasons I love the bass on that album is because, to me, the bass sounds organic and a bit rough, the very opposite of the sterility I hear in other slap players. I’m trying to think of the aural equivalent of horses for courses...

Could you ask him if it is confusing performing in one European capital when you are named after another? Thank you. 😁
