[quote name='0175westwood29' post='1376075' date='Sep 16 2011, 11:40 PM']sweet man. i need to post my board up a on here as its changed a bit. andy[/quote] Yeah dude, get on it!

Yeah. 45"x21" with a 'bridge' running the whole length. Going to rock. All based on a specific layout that's far more ergonomic than my current one.

Think me & mcgraham are still coming with Roscoe and Wood & Tronics goodness. All good. Looking forward to meeting folks! Shep

I've had this before and it was the cable! Are you using proper speaker cable or regular jack/instrument cable? Not saying that IS the issue - but something I have experienced.

The Whammy DT isn't too much heavier than the Whammy IV. Feels like they have saved a little weight on the material used. It's bigger, but only a tad heavier. EDIT - Looking at the specs on the Digitech website shows they weigh exactly the same as each other! Looking forward to getting my custom board, the layout makes so much more sense to my style of playing. Only thing still to be added is the new MoogerFooger MF-108 Cluster Flux.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1375751' date='Sep 16 2011, 05:17 PM']WMD Geiger Counter I believe.[/quote] Correct! I used to have it's little brother (The 'Civillian Issue') on the board. I recently sold it and bought this. It's a super high gain fuzz and bit crusher with 224 selectable wave forms plus control over the sample rate and bit depth. It's monster and does the job of a few pedals I used to use.

Ha. Yes it's the new Whammy. It's polyphonic so it tracks bass chords on 3 or 4 strings up over 2 octaves - that alone makes it worth while. It's also 9v and DC so no noisy AC adapter in my chain. It has a number of presets the old one doesn't on the Whammy side which I've played with - but the drop tune side is great and works better than most Detuning pedals i've tried. Being able to go up a 5th with perfect tracking at the press of a button or even momentarily is pretty useful. Despite 3 retailers telling me that it no longer cuts top end like the old one used to, it unfortunately still does. It's also bloody huge. True Bypass helps though as the old one sucked a little tone when off as well. It's a good improvement on the Whammy IV, but if I'm honest - most people won't use the extra features.

Right, I've sold off a fair few pedals to reduce my setup. I've gone from 2 Tourman boards to 1 and a half... However, I have an order in for a custom board I've been discussing for a few weeks. It's a 2-tier board just slightly bigger than a single Diago Tourman with a few tweaks for my set up. So until that's done in a month or so, here's what I'm working with... Right board - Left board - Full setup - And as I was there, our rehearsal space set up, all purchased 2nd hand through work (I'm a Pawn Broker for silly money!!!): MacBook, 2 Skytech powered PA speakers, Behringer Xenyx1204FX desk -

Malekko B:assMaster?? [url="http://malekkoheavyindustry.com/index.php/all-effects-pedals/b-assmaster"]http://malekkoheavyindustry.com/index.php/...als/b-assmaster[/url] Knobs are on the right though and it's a tad larger than a BBE pedal I think...

Amusing read! Fingers crossed I'll have my Cluster Flux next week

Title and first posted edited to remove swear words. Please watch the language. From the posts above I gather that I'm too late to witness the original title (which is good as that would of earnt you a warning!). Hope the pot gets sorted. Other folks breaking your stuff is about as frustrating as it gets!

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1373886' date='Sep 14 2011, 10:58 PM']Believe it or not, the Bass Murf is happy to run off a daisychain & has no noise at all! I was hugely surprised. It does need to draw 300mA though.[/quote] And reverse polarity!

There's lots of options, but a Johnny Shred freak/Diago should be fine for the size of your board. Although if you go for the Moog then you'll need to use it's own power supply or some special adapters...

So... You going to swallow that fact you need a big awesome pedal on your board?

At least the move and date change is official now. The price hike I assume is to pay for Marcus, but blimey that's a steep overnight leap!! Not convinced it's going to work too well at this nee venue unless they have a secret 2nd stge an venue room we don't know about...

[quote name='Sibob' post='1370895' date='Sep 12 2011, 06:57 PM']But there's no ROOOOMMMMM Hmmmm, are you using a Murf instead of your Slicer now then? Si[/quote] Just sit I next to your board. It's non slip rubber on the bottom and robust enough! I'm not using a murf, but am using the LFO section of my MO-201 to drive my various pedals with slow sample + hold waves to create similar effects! I am planning to add a Midi Murf one day though. I'm a big fan of the Slicer though. I'm just determined to reduce my setup. Shep

[quote name='Sibob' post='1370879' date='Sep 12 2011, 06:50 PM']I feel you might be right Hmmm.... could I cut one in half? Si[/quote] Yes - but it wouldn't work, and if it did you'd of cut the tap tempo off! Man up and buy a Slicer or Murf!

[quote name='Sibob' post='1370386' date='Sep 12 2011, 01:20 PM']Shep, the Gyroscope seems to have a tap?! [url="http://www.copilotfx.com/tapgyro.html"]http://www.copilotfx.com/tapgyro.html[/url] Si[/quote] Ah... It seems there are 2 versions! I'd never seen the 2 footswitch version before. That version also has an extra knob on it. The version I've seen lots of demos of does not have the tap. Still not as useful as something that has clearly defined presets though...

I got my new bass and it came strung with Black Beauties. The B string had a strange sharp lump on it - like the coating had clumped and solidified. Emailed Anthony and he immediately offered to send a replacement string to me. Hopefully that's on the way. I'm told the supply issue in the UK is being resolved too as a new distributor has just been appointed (String & Things I believe). Maybe on going supply issues were with the distributor and not DR?

No messenger shooting dude, sorry if it read that way! I'll still go either way as I enjoy a day out playing bass. I'll just hang on for an initial announcement. My suggestion of thinking it may just be an after party was based on the 2009 event and that seemed to work well!

I know BassBunny heard this direct from Steve, but are we sure... The Bassday site still has the old date & the old venue listed. The RNCM are still listing the event on the site and selling tickets Band on the wall website does not have the event listed. Maybe the after party is there? Maybe Steve was just thinking out loud. Theres no published change of date yet, tickets are still be sold for the original date and at the original venue... As far as I'm concerned its Oct 16th at the RNCM and we're still waiting for the website to be updated with this years performers. In fact from googling it now it appears that the only reference to this event being on 06/11/11 this year is this very thread on Basschat!!! I personally think we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea yet. Or have I missed something more official?

Do the ABSynth next - I miss mine and its one of very few pedals I really regret selling... Maybe a video will persuade me to buy another.
