You could definitely squeeze a Moogerfooger on there!

Talent is a subjective thing. Talent to one man is nothing to someone else. Personal preference also comes into play... People will never agree on something like this, it's horses for courses. Like me saying the Xbox is more powerful than the PS3 - its subjectional based on what criterea is important to you. It's the same as... Man A think Metallica are the most talented band in the world Man B thinks it's a racket and can't see how that 'noise' can be considered 'talent' Man C learns to play a Metallica guitar solo and his mates think he's talented as they can't do it, but Man D is a jazz musician and thinks said solos are easy so man C isn't really that talented Tal has enough of what ever talent is to of made a strong career out of it. If that's on the back of other people's success - so what!? That's no different to Stanley Clarke and his 'championing' of many inexperienced jazz musicians, until the point that they are now big names. Just because her bass work doesn't excite you or interest you does not means she's not talented - just that you identify talent in a different way. Tal's playing floats Pete's boat, and many others. Personally - I'm not a fan. I respect her in the same way I respect Mark King... They have a strong reputation and are earning a living from music they love... But neither inspire me or tick my 'my god they're talented' box (while they clearly both are!). Give me Justin Chancellor from Tool - To me that's talent, the most solid bass player in modern music (IMO) with a technical grounding that surpases most others and a rhythmic feel I can only dream of. TO ME - JC is more talented than Tal, Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and a host of others... But that's because he ticks my talent boxes in this rather subjectional grey area.

Also the LFO-controlled VCA stuff is unbelievable for the Taio Cruz/Prodigy-type cut up guitar. As has been mentioned, all the band needs to be tempo-locked via MIDI but with thebrokendoor we all are. Dan[/quote] If we get these gigs sorted later in the year I'd definitely like to have a play with the Adrenalinn… I'm finding I need to re-think our midi clock generator… The Red Sound Voyager kicks ass but only does 90-180bpm… And I need 80 now! dammit! lol

[quote name='The Twickerman' post='1307340' date='Jul 18 2011, 12:31 AM']I played a short set tonight with no effects whatsoever!!! Shock horror![/quote] I did that last week with my side project - Very odd feeling

I've used it for as long as I can remember. Love the way it feels. I find it keeps strings sounding brighter for longer, reduces the friction in my somewhat sensitive fingers and it keeps the strings clean from sweat etc... Never tried it on the back of a neck, never seen the point. I used to use it everytime I picked up a bass, now i use it once a week or so.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1306645' date='Jul 17 2011, 01:30 PM']I clicked on the Bass Gear link for Namm 2011. Talk about bass porn![/quote] My god!!! I'd missed that!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1306574' date='Jul 17 2011, 12:25 PM']Glad they've sorted the website at long last. [/quote] It took a while. I think they've done a decent job of it though... Apparently still more content to go up so I'm sure we'll see millions more pretty basses...

Thanks dude! Few new ones from the Roscoe camp to wet people's appetites... LG 3006 LG 3006 LG in progress SKB in progress

[quote name='tonyclaret' post='1306079' date='Jul 16 2011, 06:39 PM']Two? That's just pure gluttony!! Ha ha must be good![/quote] Yeah. One on my main board at the studio & one at home on my mini board. I have my eye on the new Moogerfooger MF-108M Cluster Flux (even though it's price has been announced at $599 in the US) but already have plans to migrate the Unichorus to the mini board and have 2 on it for some lovely lush wibblyness... Either way... It's a keeper!

If you like the sound of the OC2 then you need an OC2. No other octave pedal sounds like it. Fact! Even with the popularity of them then still sell on eBay under £60 which is a lot less than most other brands.

[quote name='fatgoogle' post='1306099' date='Jul 16 2011, 07:20 PM']And the BEF pro is out soon. Im thinking ill get one. They say $213 retail so it might be a tad cheaper. Also when using something like the boss splitter do you have to have another to join the signals back together? Im thinking of putting an octave down and fuzz in one and everything else i.e moog, distortion and chorus in the other.[/quote] Do you mean the LS2 Line Selector? If so... You just need the one pedal! If so... Make sure it's on the A+B Mix setting. Bass goes into input. One loop of pedals (say octave and fuzz) goes out of channel A send and back to channel A return. 2nd loop of pedals (the rest of them) goes out of channel B send and back to channel B return. Output goes to amp. You'll get both 'sounds' along side each other, rather than a mix of running 1 pedal into another, so the octave and fuzz won't interact with the moog, chorus etc and visa versa. You then use the channel A & B volume knobs to balance the two loop levels as you want.

Odd fact... Maybe relevant... Maybe not. I understand that Jimmy Haslip is a lefty and plays a lefty 6 string bass, but has it strung as if he was a lefty playing a right handed bass (C highest, B lowest - basically in reverse) - Maybe due to leaning on a righty, then moving to a lefty but realising he prefered a righty...? I'm not sure all the lefts and rights are in the correct place... I'm all confused.

Octave down, heavily gated fuzz + Chorus/modulation (I expect tweaking what you have will do it) = God awful song The high frequency notes between the bass notes could prob be done by whacking a Whammy up 2 octaves and flicking it on between the main groove.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1305571' date='Jul 16 2011, 10:47 AM']Anyone else here using a [url="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinn3/adrenalinn3.html"]Linn Adrenalinn[/url]? It's most effective if you are using something with a MIDI clock as your master timing device. Each preset allows 2 bar long morphs, so there should be plenty of variety available.[/quote] Dan_Owens uses one... Still never had the chance to try one...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1300767' date='Jul 12 2011, 11:16 AM']Question: has anyone heard Chris Cornell's song 'Part of me'? it has a killer synth-bass-esque groove on it. I'd like to approximate that sound. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might achieve this sound. I already have the OC2 and a Copilot Orbit (not useful for this sound) but I suspect a LPF is necessary to get closer.[/quote] Can you link to the version you're listening too. There seems to be 3 album versions (on different regional album releases), a rock version, dance version, 2 radio edits and more...

There's an awful lot in that package... Does half of my set up in a very basic way... I could prob play a gig with that and an OC2... Hmmmmmmm

By something 2nd hand that you like the look at and is worth double should it be bought new. You'll get a bass you love the look off, own something that's already of 2nd hand value (unlikely to loose anymore if you re-sell) and get to be the envy of your bass playing friends. £1200 will get you a bass worth 2k in the for sale section....

Cool little board dude!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1235478' date='May 18 2011, 11:43 AM']And finally: Atlansia Solitaire[/quote] This ever comes up for sale - I want to be the 1st to know!

I've been a Unichorus user for a while.. in fact its the only pedal I own 2 of! Lovely lush sound. Has a natural 'top end' as well as the low end retention you'd expect. Flanger sounds fantastic as well. The only flanger I've used that I preferred was the old brown Boss BF-2B (which was lovely) - But this comes a close second, paired with a top class Chorus tone. EBS Unichorus = WIN!
