[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1454756727' post='2972627'] BB King was a legend. Young and starry eye'd we waited outside the stage door after a gig he did in Bristol. When he came out with his 9 piece band + wives and girlfriends he stopped and asked what we were doing. When we said we were waiting to meet him he got us onto his tour bus with coffees and teas, sat us down, introduced us to the band and entourage, signed loads of photos, gave us other stuff. We had to make our excuses and leave in the end. He was in no hurry. [/quote] Wow! Just wow!

There are few bands that you can genuinely say you have no idea what to expect. Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is The Cardiacs.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1455125204' post='2976214'] Shouldn't matter. Unless the desired effect is to change volume temporarily (for solo etc.) all effects (both as part of a multieffect and single pedals) should really be set to unity gain (you can enable/bypass the effect and it should sound the same volume). Not keeping an eye on your gain structure like this can cause problems later on. [/quote] But with multi fx you usually have 2 volumes, a channel \patch volume and a master volume.

In my day metal was long hair and tight trousers. Then it became short hair and baggy trousers. These days I'm not sure what it is [size=4] [/size]

If you turn in on in the UK make sure you have the voltage selector at 230 [size=4] [/size] Otherwise no problems with mine [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1455018187' post='2975002'] I have the luxury of Wunjo Bass being about five minutes walk from my office in London. Lawrence and the Toms are a delight to deal with and they're usually competitive with any deals I can find on line. [/quote] This. I've bought from them before and am happy to go back. Was in there yesterday. Made it clear I was just browsing, but was still invited to try anything that took my fancy. Also had a bit of a natter about custom basses.

[quote name='IBWT' timestamp='1454945545' post='2974468'] I always try to set the volume on my effects so that they match the volume without them, unless for some reason those effects need to be louder (e.g. boosters for soloing). Makes it much easier live. [/quote] Are they single fx's?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1454928615' post='2974175'] No such thing as an illegitimate technique. It's all about the music. If you can make a musical noise using any part of the body (easy, tiger), it's legitimate. You can argue whether there is a more efficient means etc but legitimacy is always a moot point. Anything else is missing the point. [/quote] So how would you argue regarding efficiency?

[quote name='r16ktx' timestamp='1454930896' post='2974213'] Not completely sure what you mean by channel volume, unless it's pre amp gain, but does this help? [url="http://line6.com/support/topic/2513-master-volume-or-channel-volume/"]http://line6.com/sup...channel-volume/[/url] [/quote] Channel\patch\editable pre-set, or however they are named, on my pedal the amp level controls the volume for this, then there is the master volume which is everything. Thanks for the attached will have a read.

3kg? If you wear a decent strap you might forget its there [size=4] [/size]

As I said above, like double thumbing but with fingers. So doing an up and down stroke with the same finger.

How do you set your channel and master volume levels with your multi fx pedals? I know some people have the master to full, but others set it to the same volume of the amp with the fx switched off. But if you do this how do you set your patch levels?

Is double fingering a 'legitimate' technique? It's the same as double thumbing, but obviously using fingers instead.

I'll have some of that. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1. TheGreek[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2.

[quote name='Dapper Bandit' timestamp='1454399947' post='2969257'] It is a bit of a popularity contest / battle of the bands setup but that's the nature of the beast, isn't it? [/quote] It was our first gig and we didn't take that many people, so we must have won over the crowd [size=4] [/size]

we won! Well we were one of the 2 bands that went through. [size=4] [/size]

Bump for tonights gig. Its also the first appearance of my custom Shuker [size=4] [/size]

Is Prosebass still on Basschat? IIRC he made full size small bodied headless basses.

Doh! Its worth buying a couple of pairs of the cvheap foam ones and leaving a pack in each guitar case, gig bag etc just in case.

[quote name='RichardH' timestamp='1453980055' post='2964833'] It arrived with me an hour or so ago..... Looks even better in the "flesh"... more later. [/quote] What's the weight?

Are we talking about Cronos from Venom? [attachment=210933:download.jpg]
