[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1395128992' post='2398897'] I've been using a laptop with Native Instruments Guitar Rig Kontrol for 5 years now which means I could take my laptop to a gig instead of multi effects (assuming I didn't mind risking some plonker spilling beer on it at some point).. I'm not clear on how the iOS is an improvement, can anyone enlighten me? [/quote] Few things Software is cheaper Touch screen is a big plus for changing settings in a live situation You can run it off your phone which is 10th the size of your laptop It's not better just a different approach to a concept that's been around for years but it's so much easier now than it was 5 years ago in my opinion

I have to admit my utter gas for an axefx and kemper that made me look at what was possible with iOS modelling (since I was already using it for looping) I'd defo start of small before grabbing a kemper or axe mainly because it looses a lot of value if you're not using it in a studio and live you're still lugging round a power amp and cab. If you can survive with the PAs available, you have IEMs or you're mainly in the studio then go for it. I personally have a lot of experience of getting my sound from a Di pedal etc, but nothing even now can beat the sound of a good valve amp behind you, and my iOS rig is the compromise of tone (of a big valve amp) over portability, it certainly sounds better than the modern amps I've tried and is effectively tiny. A sansamp is a good starting point, if you can be happy with that then you'll be ecstatic with a Kemper

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1394718478' post='2394364'] surely it'd look better with a minty fresh pearl flanger sat next to it? I used one of the octavers the last time I was in the studio, really great pedals.. [/quote] yeah yeah now you see why I must resist spent a fortune on fx this month

I go buy a new cab?

Only took me 6 years to find one

When I start I'll be RTM and then Helio

It can be very enjoyable recording however you want I just always take a better safe than sorry approach to it all

I thought about the 365 but am concerned that if my bass is on my back then how do I put another bag on my back and if my pedalboard is at my side I have the same issue there as well.

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1394456530' post='2391464'] That looks good, where's that from? [/quote] No idea I was given it, I want another one and have no idea what to get or where to look.

Wow you gig with no cables?

Here you can see it just after the studio, the only thing removed are the full sized akg headphones. If I'd have thought a head I could have ditched one of the bags I took this weekend and put my laptop etc in this. Also has enough space for 2-3 days of clothes

Reviving this thread as interested to see what people are using. Generally I keep everything I need to use that bass with in the gig bag, so a cable, a tuner and a few patch leads. Then I have my pedalboard with specifics to it that allow me to fix any issues with the pedalboard For a while I used aluminium suitcases but they become such a mess with you just dumping stuff in. On and off for the past two years I've been using a pilot/air steward(ess) bag, it's got 4 large zip compartments, individual pockets that fit pedals (I can get like 10 in at a time) plus areas for cables that are all divided off so I have instrument, speaker and power all in easy to find spots. I am looking for something else though, not sure why maybe it's because the bag is so useful for work and weekends away I want to have something ready to grab for the stage and studio at any time, the gruv gear stadium and mono 365 have me interested but with a bass on my back not sure I could use these comfortably

Coulda said something instead of making me go begging

Yeah don't just use a sm57, if you do use it grab a DI signal as well as you'll be lacking in the low end with just a 57. Electro voice re-20 is the best I've heard a bass amp recorded, else Heil PR-40 so see if he's got one of them knocking around (unlikely if he's opting for a 57) Also remember it's your bass sound not the producers, I say this because it sounds you're recording your band and not sessioning. He might know best, but then again he might just be a guy who bought some software and is now an expert, I leave it up to you to make that assessment of him.

Also not sure if you saw on TB, when it's time on the b100r, hit me up

[quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1394360199' post='2390559'] Haha, cheers Ste. Did consider a Volto, and might end up going that way eventually. I'm not a fan of wires all over the place. Never played the original SFT, but really digging this 2nd version. Running it at 18v too. Fully spent up now for a while so things will have to wait! [/quote] Yeah mines at 18v too can't tell too much difference just that it is still the best OD/dirty boost pedal ever

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1394353733' post='2390482'] You must have a few phase issues with the board if you turn some FX on and off and are blending with the clean DI. I know the SFT and 442 invert the phase for sure. It can be fixed in the mix as long as the engineer knows about it! [/quote] Didn't use the 442 (also didn't know it inverted phase), SFT stayed one (& I did know about the phase issue) informed the producer and we were all good to go. Signal chain was Overwater into JDI thru I to Bassbone (no eq) fx loop into SFT and back to bassbone where the tuner out (pre fx loop) went out to the green muff into behringer GDI. Sounded great just need to replace the behringer with the tech 21 GT-2

Studio today 3 channels 1 awesome bass sound

And a micro tuner so you fit more pedals, and a PT Pro next to it with all the cool stuff on

Volto like all the cool kids I approve of the above board but it needs an SFT mk1

That's how I built by big boards tone factor would charge $20 to ship to the uk and mark as a gift. Also helped when the exchange rate was between 1.75 and 2 To the £
