  1. [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1446716167' post='2901616'] If the bridge has a flat baseplate an idea for an experimental (and easy reversible) bodge would be to remove the metal saddles and replace them with simple floating block saddles (one for each string) made out of wood. [/quote] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for the suggestion but you are dealing with someone who has to get his Father-in-law in to put shelves up. The word "easy" and any sort of detail work is just not something wich I can even begin to make happen [quote name='Chimike' timestamp='1448190369' post='2913491'] Hiya, What is your string spacing ? I have a 5 string bridge, already fitted with piezo's. Does need wiring, though . Might be a solution . Mike [/quote] The string spacing is 17mm but the present bridge has been sunk into the body. The whole bass makes a very fine sound so I am not complaining, this is just a "cannot leave well enough alone" scenario. I need to get over myself! But thanks ver much for the offer!
  2. [quote name='petergales' timestamp='1448010797' post='2912197'] No probs, Owen. Glad I hadn't upset a fellow Basschatter! [/quote] You have mistaken me for someone sensitive!
  3. [quote name='petergales' timestamp='1447941325' post='2911674'] Sorry, Owen, I wasn't trying to be clever when I posted that. [/quote] It did not even cross my mind that you were trying to be clever! I have edited my post to make my tone clearer. If the new B amp had an NV412 preset in it I would probably be discussing where halfway between your house and my house is.
  4. [quote name='Pentode' timestamp='1447968629' post='2911987'] Oooohhh....... I could stack this on top of my NV412. My oh my! [/quote] [color=#ff0000][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][size=8]DO IT FOR US ALL!!!!!!!![/size][/font][/color]
  5. I used to run a NV610. I know exaclty how good this size of cab from Berg is
  6. URGH! DON'T NEED IT. DON'T NEED IT. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUURHGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. I am super enjoying the irony of your user name and your request Not in a nasty way I hasten to add. It just made me smile.
  8. [quote name='StuartB' timestamp='1446902006' post='2903347'] Much like chocolate I guess... [/quote] You are not wrong there.
  9. [quote name='NigeH' timestamp='1447878421' post='2911228'] Hi mate, I'll have those off you if you take PayPal [/quote] Phew!
  10. That name sounds correct. A French guy was the other piece of info I picked up. And you are correct. The show was superb!
  11. You could always get a 34" scale one with frets on it
  12. I am flogging mine to make way for a 6 string one. Full details here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273258-ns-design-cr5f-omni-bass-fretted-is-it-an-eub-is-it-a-bass-guitar/"]http://basschat.co.u...-a-bass-guitar/[/url]
  13. [size=5][color=#FF0000]Price drop. Something has come up that I want. £1150[/color][/size] Audio demos in last post. Here is something you do not see very often. It is a 34" scale fretted EUB so it can do all sorts of things. I bought it because I really wanted to try a fretted EUB. It did what I hoped it would which is to give a relaxed DB angle right hand technique with the ease and punch of frets. This is if it is vertical. If it is horizontal then it is pretty bass Guitar-esque. I am now going to commission a 40" scale 6 string one with a bottom F#. So this needs to go but I am in no desperate hurry to sell. It is a nice design and it just works, as all NS instruments I have ever picked up do. I have copied and pasted the spec below because, well, why rewrite something which is already better than what I would write? It is as new, but for safety's sake I will say it is in VVVVVGC. [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151115_215042_HDR_zpskslxkjip.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151115_215103_HDR_zpsiacdfyf2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151115_215117_HDR_zpsetmxzoxk.jpg.html"][/url] 34" Scale: The 34" scale length of the Omni Bass is the same as standard electric bass, and is available in 4 and 5 string versions, fretted or fretless. Tuned in fourths (EADGC or BEADG), the fingering positions and spacing are identical to the bass guitar, and therefore immediately familiar to any bass player. The Omni Bass can also be tuned in fifths, for fingerings that are more natural for the cellist seeking enhanced bass range. Fingerboard: The fretted Omni Bass features a highly arched fingerboard, similar to a cello, to optimize bow articulation. Fretted models have conventional bass guitar dot pattern. [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/polar.php"]Polar Pickup System:[/url] The multiple sensor NS Polar bridge pickup system has two modes of operation: "arco" and "pizzicato". This allows the player to optimize bowed [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/basscello-photo.php"][/url] response, and to control attack and decay characteristics for plucking. The deep bass and brilliant highs possible with piezo crystal technology give the instrument a beautiful, dynamic, and versatile sound. EMG™ Magnetic Pickups: Custom designed EMG low impedance magnetic pickups have a smooth response with lots of sweet midrange for the quintessential "electric" tone. Their relatively flat frequency response allows the natural sound of the instrument to project through. Each pickup is individually adjustable and internally shielded an internal preamp system for hum free performance. Active Controls: Two balance controls allow unlimited mixing options for the magnetic and the dual mode Polar Pickup systems. On-board pre-amplification provides master volume, bass and treble controls. The 18 volt power supply insures plenty of headroom for full dynamics. Polar Pickup systems. On-board pre-amplification provides master volume, bass and treble controls. The 18 volt power supply insures plenty of headroom for full dynamics. For even greater control, players can adjust the truss rod to tailor the neck relief to their particular needs. The result is a remarkably comfortable, even feel for every style of performance, and bass guitarists will find the Omni Bass even more inviting than ever as their "cross-over" instrument. Traditional upright players will also find the TransRadius design quite comfortable since many upright basses are designed with some degree of compound fingerboard curvature. Interchangeable Support Systems: The [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/systems.php#boom"]Boomerang™ Strap System [/url] is standard with the CR Omni Bass. Two articulated arms and a pivoting hub allow full mobility on stage or in studio. The comfortable Boomerang strap fits over the shoulder just like a guitar, but the adjustable arms allow the instrument to be placed in virtually any position in relation to the hands and body. The Boomerang Strap System allows full mobility for either bowing or plucking.
  14. The foot controller will let you control various paramaters such as open and closing filters. http://www.eowave.com/instruments.php?prod=52
  15. Look for an Apogee Gio and slap an expression pedal into it. Good times.
  16. [quote name='Bo0tsy' timestamp='1447591642' post='2908685'] The UI IS clunky and complicated but given the range of effects achievable, it's worth the effort. [/quote] There is no denying that it makes top quality noises!
  17. [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1447258461' post='2906205'] Conversely, the Octavius Squeezer also showed us that complicated does not mean a better user experience. [/quote] Word. I loved it until I had to move past the presets. Then I sold it.
  18. If your bod is happy to program all the squelchiness then that is one step less. You have all the kit to do the rest. There will be at the very least a "small" amount of latency. Probably not enough to bother you. You adapt pretty quickly. I have often wondered why more people do not use the filters etc which are in all DAWs by now.
  19. Thanks everyone - it has given him plenty to think about
  20. It was not Sharay Reed however do not let that stop you going to the show. It was AWESOME!
