biro

thank you so much guys. it's great to find such an amazing welcome committee! I really have to say that this forum is surprisingly cool, and I'm already in love with it. apart from that, it's a great way to talk about basses and bass-related stuff, while practicing some written english. I definitely need it. luckily enough, it looks like I haven't completely lost the ability to write an understandable sentence in this language. that's a heartening result, since my university exchange programme application is eligible to be selected in just a bunch of months... i need to hurry up (and write a lot!) in order to recover completely! GreeneKing, a heartfelt thank you from my language skills

hey, thank you so much. I appreciate a lot you sharing these little - and yet very useful - secrets. unfortunately I don't use logic, thus I guess I won't have the chance to experiment with those great FX very soon. but I'll try to emulate these plugins with some software I have in my VST folder. Cubase and Reper should do a pretty good job in hosting some LFO's and a bunch of automations. hopefully. nvertheless, the youtube stereo sound thing is weird. I think I'll have to make some tests to find the right format. Thank you for the hint on the MV4!

hi mike, your playing is awesome. as usual, i dare say! anyhow, thanks for plugging your bass in logic. the sound is way cleaner than in your previous vids - which I still dig a lot. however, I've got a couple of dumb questions for you: firstly, haow did you manage to get a stereo sound on a youtube video? that's something astonishing, I even tried to watch the video in low quality on the tube, and it's keeping a really wide stereo image. that's surprising! Can I ask you how you made it? did you use the FLV conversion trick? moreover, did you use any effects on your bass? it sounds like your bass is a bit widened. reverb and slight panned delay - perhaps with different time values for each side (to me, it sounds somehow similar to the effect you applied to the fretted bass track in "sing your own anthem" - by the way: I'm still wondering how you managed to get such a kickass sound)? thanks!

thank you guys. this is what I would call a hearty welcome. glad I landed to this great shore! Karl, grazie mille! I appreciate it a lot.

that's a great review. Anyhow, I understand those who pointed out the BA500 thing. I've tried to tweak it a lot. In vain. It just seems not to be able to deliver a good sound for today's bass players. The solid state tone it's got sounds pointless to me. It's not exactly what one would call "clean", nor is it a very gritty sounding head. Since we are living in the age of extremes, I definitely prefer to rely on the CL or the SVT-4. Anyhow, did anyone tried to enable automations (using a host like cubase, reaper... ). i've got some experience in automating Guitar Rig 3 parameters ([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=IT&hl=it&v=Df1ljlMXpLc&fmt=18"]see here[/url]), but never tried with SVX.

if your longing for the new version is not that strong, and the old version still arouses your curiosity, and, moreover, you're not bothered by a metal box hanging on your belt, there's a used belt-attachable sad preamp for sale in an italian forum. It's gonna leave for 100 euros. I'm in touch with the seller, and I've made a couple of sweet deals with him. If you are interested, I can give him a nudge. here is the link to the the ad: [url="http://forum.megabass.it/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=40498"]http://forum.megabass.it/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=40498[/url]

hi everybody, I'm biro. Italian bass player, living in the astoundingly beautiful (though astonishingly boring) florence, probably going to spend some time in leicester next year (god bless the erasmus programme). I'm a law student, I play in couple of bands, mostly fast and heavy stuff, and I'm a total gearhead. My main bass is a 1991 Peavey TL-Six bass, Tim Landers signature six-stringer. Great instrument, and, as stated in some review on harmony central, a real poor man's Alembic. I also own one of those infamous H&S ebay phenomena: a Sequoia six string fretless, which I consider one of the sweetest deals I've ever made, and a Spirit by Steinberger 5 stringer. I don't care too much about the amps. They're big and heavy and I'm too lazy to carry them out. And since I'm kind of a nerd, and getting used to Guitar Rig and Ampeg SVX was not a problem, I tend to rely on a good tube preamplifier and a laptop for my gigs. As a few brave ones may care, here are the links for my youtube channel and myspace page: [url="http://ballpointmusic.tk"]http://ballpointmusic.tk[/url] [url="http://ballpointvideos.tk"]http://ballpointvideos.tk[/url] Before i forget: I've been dragged here by Boneless... but, unlike him, I'm not a native speaker. Please be kind! I hope I'm not going to bother you with my awful grammar skills.
