  1. didn't realise until it was just brought up (had to go and try it out) but there is a little lag between patch changes on the Floor Pod. Fine if you only use one patch per song but potentially a problem if you need to switch very quickly live. Having said that its a very small amount of time so could probably be worked around if necessary.

    What I do is use the floor pod for amp modelling and effects I want through the whole song and then separate effects (usually just an overdrive pedal) for changes during the song.

  2. I have the floor pod and previous posts are not far off IMHO

    It is mostly an amp simulator (let me know if anyone has managed to get a good sound out of the synth function) but I do use the effects too, they are pretty simple but the filter and the chorus do what I need for a couple of songs.

    Amp sounds are interesting to play with - mostly I end up with (EDIT: personalised versions of) the RnB model for clean and then brit or grind for dirty sounds. Expression pedal is a new one for me and I've loved playing around with volume swells and wah effects.

    All in all a fun bit of kit. Shame that I don't really have much cause for any effects other than overdrive at the moment.

    Unfortunately I have not played with the Zoom B2.1u but I've only heard good things about it.

I like them for what they allow me to do but there's no deeper connection, any more than I have a particularly spiritual connection to my kettle or my laptop.[/quote]

    +1 they can sound, look and feel wonderful but they are objects. Sorry but love just doesn't come into it.

  4. [quote name='NAS' post='858964' date='Jun 6 2010, 03:48 PM']Most usually my part ends up being a slightly bastardised version of the original with personal fixes to cover the bits I can't seem to get right[/quote]

    That's what I'm ending up with at the moment. We're playing a few motown tunes and I just can't play well enough to replicate the lines!

  5. I've been thinking about this very topic recently as I've just joined a covers band for the first time and would be really interested on people's opinions on this.

    Lets be honest, on the majority of songs, the average punter probably wouldn't notice a different bassline as long as it fits with the song.

  6. Nope, started out on clarinet, hence my penchant for a tight embouchure. :) but put it in the attic of my parent's house and haven't played in ages.

    Picked up bass a few years back and have played acoustic guitar (badly) and keyboards (very badly) for a few months but now getting tempted to pick up an electric guitar for recording purposes.

    Very much see myself as a bass player who tinkers with other instruments.
