steve

that just needs a tort pg to set it off now, nice work

great fun that, nice find

Good luck with your continuing speedy recovery Scoop

after umming and aahing for a while, I've just bought an M9

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts, I pulled the trigger on one of these today, watch this space.....

Thanks for the comments fellas, I'm really stoked with this set of pics, it's ending up better than I imagined. I just need to stop tooling round with the spec and leave Alan to work his magic now

update from Alan, wow, can't stop smiling [attachment=38362:IMG_4248.jpg] [attachment=38363:IMG_4249.jpg] [attachment=38364:IMG_4250.jpg]

I have to say none of the comments have particularly put me off getting one, in a worse case scenario I suppose I could keep using the mammoth clone or even run the m9 through a blender until an update was available

anyone else have any experiences regarding bottom end dropout with fuzz/drive/disto patches? This would be my primary use for it tbh

I could do with some suggestions to get my hand warmed up quickly too, we don't always have the opportunity before a gig, and we're opening with riff raff and hysteria at our next one

Very nice looking bass mate. I'm surprised you didn't suss it out tho' [quote]At the time, although he was unaware of what was going on, she asked him a few subtle questions until she knew enough of what he liked to be able to give me a good template to work from.[/quote] if my wife ever asked subtle questions about bass design (I wish ) it would definately arouse my suspicions

[quote name='TheButler' post='677376' date='Dec 7 2009, 11:55 PM']It really is a great unit, i thoroughly enjoy using it just as much as my band enjoys hearing it. I love a couple of fuzz sounds that i tweaked with for agggess, but generally speaking they're not GREAT, certainly not as good as the delays, reverbs, modulations etc.[/quote] If it's possible to get [i]some [/i]decent fuzz/drive sounds then that sounds quite promising [quote name='tayste_2000' post='677390' date='Dec 8 2009, 12:22 AM']You can come try mine if you want sometime. These units are great they do so much and sound so great. Just can't go wrong with them[/quote] cheers Ste - I'll take you up on that when my ACG arrives, then you can try out the preamp if you still not had the chance

gassing for an M9, but I can't decide if I really need one - hopefully someone will have some opinions of how it performs on bass in a band situation I've heard samples of some of the more 'esoteric' models, but I wanted to know - can it do a reasonable gated fuzz a la woolly mammoth? (the facial fuzz model maybe?) what about drive, grit and grunt effects? tia

[quote name='Moos3h' post='675169' date='Dec 5 2009, 06:40 PM']I roughly follow the guitarist, but do runs from the root note instead...I feel it locks in better with the drummer[/quote] ta, i'll give that a try tonight

My band has done this a few times live, and I always follow the guitars in the chorus to keep the song going - our drummer does the mad fills like the album version, but I feel if I played the bassline as it is recorded, the chorus could degenerate into a mistimed mess. Anyone else play this live, what's your approach?

Hi Al, I've had no experience of GK, but i used to use 2 hartke 210XL's, (arranged as a tower, 1 driver wide and 4 high) and they were great - cut thru two load guitards without any problem with IIRC and ampeg svt3pro (I at least i think I had both at the same time) I only changed them because I built my Omni10.5s, which are ridiculously light and loud and sound ace

I enjoyed that, good stuff

I built one using BC109 silcon transistors that sounds great with my active trb, and less good with my passive aerodyne jazz

can't help I'm afraid, but what a top song

I've read that soaking metal parts in pcb etchant will make them tarnish, I've not tried it myself tho'
