    Poor tracking on Octavers drives me mad, I now have a MXR one that's better then my OC-2 but not much
  2. Rumple
    Wise words Si, but sometimes that rule doesn't hold up for me, for instance I have an expensive EBS MultiComp which is excellent but I prefer to use a CS-2 most of the time - Odd I know

    Thanks everyone for their help on this, unless someone comes up with another option I think I'll start out by trying the Zoom, I prefer small pedals to multi effects but this is the cheapest route so it's got to worth a go. if it doesn't dp the job I'll try some of the other suggestions. R.

    As I understand it (wrongly probably) the detuned note I'm using is only a fraction of a semi tone out of tune creating a thickening effect, don't quote me on that though!

    Wow! Beautiful looking bass, I would have loved this if it still had the 2 jazz pick-ups. Good Luck with the sale.

    [quote name='Sibob' post='701688' date='Jan 5 2010, 03:08 PM']I think the only blend possible is on the octave down (the furthest light on the left), not sure why you'd want to blend the original signal into a step or two steps down etc.....would sound dreadful lol. They look like they're coming in at about £149 Si[/quote] Weirdly that's what I'm doing with the plug-in, the dropped signal is only on at 40% causing a kinda subtle chorus effect but without any added modulation. maybe it's just covering up my poor fretless technique R.

    [quote name='Sibob' post='701615' date='Jan 5 2010, 02:12 PM']The Morpheus Droptune looks very impressive on guitar, seems to track full chords very well. I'd be extremely interested to see if it worked on bass! Si[/quote] Cheers Si, That's a pretty impressive polyphonic pedal, any idea how much it cost? there was no mention of a blend control between the dropped and original tone which seems like an omission.

    [quote name='xgsjx' post='701595' date='Jan 5 2010, 01:54 PM']My Zoom 708 has the very thing you're after & funnily enough, it's called Detune. I bought mine for £26 of ebay & have given it to my mandolinist to use on her mandolin, but she's reluctant to use it![/quote] I had a quick look at the Zoom website and it does seem that their multi effect pedals have the detune function so this could be a cheap option to get the sound I want. I'm not a fan of red or multi effects units but hey if it get the job done cheaply I can't complain Many Thanks.

    Thanks for the info cheddatom, I'll put the Whammy on my list of pedals to try. R.
  10. Rumple
    [quote name='cheddatom' post='700274' date='Jan 4 2010, 10:30 AM']the chorus on a digitech whammy might be appropriate.[/quote] Is the chorus on the wammy the same as other chorus effects? I have tried a couple and they dont give quite the same sound as the pug-in. Cheers R.

    [quote name='ritch' post='699935' date='Jan 3 2010, 08:30 PM']Nope - the pitch knob will move it up or down by a 3rd, 5th, 7th, 1 octave or 2 octaves (worked out from which Key you have the "HR Key" knob set to). To be honest I haven't used it for any of the doubling up notes effects, just the tremelo arm setting, so I can press the pedal to make it dive bomb to an octave below. Rich[/quote] Drat as I think it's the fact that the second note is slightly out of tune that is creating the sound I like. Thanks for your help. R.

    [quote name='ritch' post='699793' date='Jan 3 2010, 06:32 PM']I have one of these, which works excellently on bass. It's got a detune function, and the ability to mix this with your bypassed sound. Not that expensive - probably a third of the price of the POG![/quote] Cheers ritch, I had a look at some YouTube videos of the PS-5, they were all demos on guitar sadly but it may do what I need, does it has a control for delaying (Latency on the plug-in) when the shifted note starts? Also is the pitch knob infinitely variable or click in preset increments? R.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' post='699691' date='Jan 3 2010, 05:01 PM']Looks like this plugin mixes in a pitch-shifted voice rather than modulate the pitch like a chorus pedal does. The POG2 may be overkill but might do the trick:[/quote] Good point dannybouy it isn't a modulated sound just an added voice pitch shifted, the POG2 would be an expensive way to reproduce a free plug-in, I wounder if there is something a bit cheaper that does the same job, I have Octavers and they don't do it as it's a perfect octave, I need something that makes me sound even more out of tune on a fretless
  14. Rumple
    In Cubase I have been using the free plug-in by MDA called Detune on the fretless bass parts and really like the sound a lot so I was wondering what sort of pedal I would need to recreate this sound in a live situation, to me it doesn't sound like any Boss phasers, chorus or flangers I owned in the 80's. Any help would be appreciated. R. [attachment=39242:MDA_Detune.jpg]

    That's an absolute stunner! Out of my league at the mo' but out of interest what is the string spacing at the bridge?

    I was clearing out a cupboard today and found an Audiophile 2496 that I was convinced I had Ebayed last year! I thought I would offer it up on here first. It's a few years old but is fully working, boxed with manual and the CD's that came with it but you would be advised to get the latest drivers from the M-Audio website. [url="http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html"]http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html[/url] I have no idea what it's worth so I'll start at £25 including postage.

    [quote name='gnasher1993' post='693876' date='Dec 26 2009, 06:26 PM']I really like it but I'm not using it at the moment so probably best to move it on. I'd be happy to sell it. Once I'd covered customs charges etc, I payed £95 in total. I'd be happy to sell it on for £90 posted. There's 3 on ebay at the moment, one silver screw (like mine) which is up there for £130 so I think £90 is reasonable. Let me know if you fancy it, feel free to make an offer if you think that price is a bit much.[/quote] I'm very tempted but best say no for now as I have just checked the post Christmas bank balance and it's not looking good! All The Best R.

    Hi, So you didn't get on with the CS-1 then? do you want to sell it or is it just trades you want? I only have an OC-2, CE-2, CS-2 or SO400 I could offer up in a trade and I doubt any are of interest to you.

    Only the Behringer left, last BUMP and price drop before it goes EBay at the weekend.

    Rumple replied to Geester's topic in Basses For Sale

    Good luck with the sale, this is a excellent bass and Mike is a joy to deal with. R.
  23. Rumple
    Good luck with the material and finding a bass player Dan, I live close by but don't have the time to get involved in anything serious R.
  24. Rumple
    Bump for price drop before Ebaying them at the weekend.
  25. Rumple
    I had one of these in the 80's I think I sold it to buy a Jazz bass. there are pics somewhere of me playing it at the 100 Club with it up under my chin in true 1980's stylie
