Looks like its the sm57. What would be the mic for just vocals thats more detailed, if i could afford one or find someone to borrow one of.

Im looking for a good all round mic as the title suggests, as im intending to record some of my own stuff this summer. Id be doing vocals, mic'ing a guitar amp(ill D.I the bass), horns - mainly trumpet, trombone and sax and some light percussion. Im pretty broke so thats why its just the one mic. So whats the top contender. If i can find the money, i could be open to two mic's - one for vocals and one for everything else. Budget is not huge btw. Cheers Sam H

I have one, ill get some pics up later. Mines going through some mods at the moment, clear pickguard, 62 wiring, d-tuner etc. Mine has been gigged a lot, its my my main bass and blew all the fender MIA standards out of the water, it has a slightly thinner neck aswell which i like.But it hasnt really got any wear apart from gigging wear. Theres just scratches and a few dings that have removed chips of paint.

Sounds good . Anyone put a double bass through it? Hopefully by the end of march i shall have all the funds then.

So i was thinking about getting one of these. Im still worried about the 250 watts thing. Im using hartke lh500 at the moment, which has always been great through a single 8 ohm 15" cab. Id be using it mostly in small venues(anyone in dublin think, sweeneys, mercantile, wheelans etc) playing with anything from a 3 piece to a 9-10 piece with a horn section, keys etc. Also it might be a clean signal or quite dubby with a good few pedals, depending on the act. I would like to get it with the two 1x12 ebs classic cabs, id prefer 2 2x10's but there so damn expensive it seems for anything good. Do you think it would work for me?

My Fender HW1 jazz bass, by far one of the best jazz bass's ive played except a marcus miller(ive only played them) and my old fender jazz 24 which i sold. All three better then a Standard MIA in every way. Been meaning to get a precision with some flatrounds for a while.

I want to mod my jazz bass. Not too sure on a few things though. First is i want to swap the control plate for a 3 hole one so i can have 60's wiring, Stacked volume and tone. Will a 3 hole control plate fill the same space as a 4 hole one? Also what kinds of pots will i need for this. Im having trouble Finding stacked pots. Second is i want to put a clear scratch plate on the bass, but there pretty damn expensive, so i was going to make one. Is there somewhere i can get a guide to cut one out as i lost my old one. I was just going to get a piece of acrylic and cut it. Would it be better to use a small router type device or just a stanley knife or similar. Thats it really, the only thing id like to do one day, is too block and bind the neck. Would that be a huge undertaking or manageable? Cheers Sam H.

PAS - with the moog mp-201 can you send a click to it and the use it to control the cutoff to get really regulated wobs, speed them up slow them down etc, or is there something else needed before the mp-201 to send a click in. Thats pretty much the main use i want from a 201 so im a little worried about the price aand maybe oly using it for that single feature. I know it can control the other parameters, but im still struggling to understand what it can really achieve.

Its the Bp-100 pickup i have on there but i reckon its pretty old now. Also im using a harkte lh500 through a 1x15 so maybe thats half the problem. Im going to be playing in a folky mellow style group and using pizz and bowing. AI gear is way to expensive, but would a preamp into my hartke into some kind of small amp possible do the job?

Just wondering whats the easiest way to amplify a double bass in most situations. My DB came with a fishman pickup on it which is a bit raspy but would still do the job. So whats the cheapest and easiest way that youve found? There will most likely be monitors on the stages etc etc and the amps and pa's will be of varying quality, but one of the groups im in feels it would suit the whole vibe a lot better so im happy to go with it. Cheers Sam H

So a moog mp-201 is the solution again it seems.

Really liked the new EP. I prefer more to the last one really. Seems to be more power behind it IMO. Does anyone know if anything like this is already in the market. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whvNhkC4Skg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whvNhkC4Skg[/url] This would be my ideal pedal for what i want. Especially if it could be sent a click from a metronome or something which could then be halved or doubled.

Yea i posted in euros.

Im going to check one out tomorrow. There 229 in a local shop which isnt to bad. Reviews would be great.

When i have the money in the far future a single-cut is the only bass id want. Ive never played one but they look so damn good, Its what sells them for me. I dont see how you couldnt like them.

Its a dream at the moment, i need all my cash for uni.

But would i need to have 3 ls-2's then rather then having a single box with 3 loops. Id also want to have them effect each other at my choosing.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1354848' date='Aug 28 2011, 11:59 PM']not sure about this myself. the person to ask about specific builds would be Max at [sfx]sound. it's looking like i won't be in the position to bother enquiring 'til new year at the rate i'm spending what i haven't got.[/quote] Another thing i would want from it is to able to run multiple loops at the same time but they dont effect each other. So if im running loop one which has the moog in it and im modulating it, but have loop two just being effected by the original bass signal and running some extreme sub-bass underneath.

Yep, I was even thinking of selling my record player to fund a source audio B.E.F pro. Could volume/gain pots be put on each loop along with a switch.

Thought this was amazing. Especially the connection between all the players and the sound the bass player was getting. Was it an envelope filter at times? Any albums to recommend, never thought i would actually enjoy this style but it really blew me away.

[quote name='timbrewolff' post='1353657' date='Aug 27 2011, 04:12 PM']Greetings from the US- fellow dnb synth bass player here & spend a lot of time on US forums- but it hit me one day- this music started on the other side of the Atlantic so let’s see what they’re doing over there… Great thread you have here- read it from start to finish. I saw some mention of the Source Audio Bass Envelope Filter Pro- I got one about a month ago and it is everything it's hyped up to be. The filters all sound great & knocked the grove regulator 2 off my board (imo this is much more of a funk then synth.) The ability to trigger the filters multiple ways (envelope, hot hand, lfo) & add lfo's makes this one KILLER pedal for synth bass. I wanted to note that it can not (directly) do what the moog- mf101 or iron ether xerograph do as far as controlling the cutoff freq of the filter BUT you can work around it with backpage parameters and expression pedal control to still get awesome deep dubby sounds. Also there are some new exciting pedals coming out within the next few months (still in development) that should help achieve the live dnb dubstep synth bass sound, since I didn’t read anything about them on here figured I‘d give you all the heads up: [b]The Mini Expressionator[/b] will allow one expression pedal control for 3 expression pedal capable pedals. “It also will have the ability to use different taper presets such as linear, inverse linear, audio (where it ramps up at the end of the sweep) and a couple that are still being considered. the Expressionator uses digital pots to control each pedal input so depending on which taper you select that will be how your treadle (expression pedal) behaves. It will actually turn an audio taper into a linear.... correct it, so to speak. I would imagine that both your BOSS/VPjr will behave the same way through this box, and you would just choose whichever one you like best as far as feel, looks or what fits on your pedalboard. The Taper LEDs have a secondary function of being meter (kind of like those visual volume pedals) so it shows you how the pedal is reading your taper.... and the taper/meter LEDs change color depending on what channel you are on.” [b]Copilot FX[/b] is working on a new analog octaver named the[b] Cubic[/b]- there are clips floating around online- this thing sounds FAT and as blasphemous as it may sound it could very easily rival the OC2. It has more control over the Octaves tone & volume and also has a glich synth fuzz included in the circuit. [url="http://soundcloud.com/marcsterlingbass/copilotfx-cubic-prototype"]http://soundcloud.com/marcsterlingbass/cop...cubic-prototype[/url] [b]Red Panda Particle Granular Pitch Shifter/Delay[/b] this is a wild sounding pedal that chops the input signal into little grains of sounds to manipulate the sound. It can do the standard pitch shifting and delay sounds but also is capable of doing chorusy, ringmodish, modulated sounds. It really is a killer pedal.

(I’m at work now and cant properly link to all of the sound samples/pictures because sites are blocked- but google searches will turn up some more info)[/quote] So many useful things, yet so little money. Also were can i buy a 3 way looper, were i can turn off and on each individual loop. So i can have each one separate but mix them together how i like.

Id like to have both, but i couldnt afford to keep both. It seems to me that source audio offers a bit more in terms of flexibility then the moog on its own.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1338382' date='Aug 13 2011, 03:49 AM']just got the heads-up from Will Cady @ Source Audio that the Bass Envelope Filter Pro is now available at Thomann.de for those who are interested. now i'm just wishing my life away 'til payday (as usual..) [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/source_audio_soundblox_pro_bass_envelope.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/source_audio_soun...ss_envelope.htm[/url][/quote] I have a feeling my moog LPF will be sold for this.
