Build Diary - RIM Marseer 6 Custom

[quote name='sprocketflup' post='1023538' date='Nov 14 2010, 04:01 PM']That is truly a thing of beauty - nice one to both you and Robbie. If Id built that I would never let it out of my site I have a question tho, the dark line between the myrtle top and the main body wood, is that a fillet of some other wood in between the two? or paint? cant figure that on out[/quote] It's a 1mm layer of Ebony dividing the facing and the body. A nice added touch I think! -
Saw this earlier. Anything with JoJo Mayer on drums is worth listening to Oh yeah... The bass ain't bad either... Lol

Build Diary - RIM Marseer 6 Custom
pantherairsoft replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Build Diaries
Thanks guys. I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. What takes me the most is the weight! My Roscoe is particularly light for a 6 string (about 9lbs), this is even lighter! The balance is perfect as well. When you pick it up you'd think it was a chambered bass! The sound is fantastic also. It's definitely a bass where I will use the pre a fair bit. The natural flat sound is quite low mi heavy, largely due to the pickup. It has a soft, warm jazz tone, owing itself well to a reggae/dub kind of sound. It's nice to have something that sounds a little more traditional as I'm used to having a GB as my only fretted bass which is full of highs. The Agi preamp has plenty of room to move with some nice zingy highs and fat subby bass... It's a bass that I'll enjoy tweaking. Shep -
NOW SOLD Hi guys, I have a brand new Pro Bass Comfort Strapp in size small (33" - 37"). I've done nothing but put strap-locks on it, fit it to a bass and realise it's about 2-3" too short for me. Amazing straps… literally makes your bass feel a good kilo lighter. Other than the holes showing signs that I put strap locks on it, this is spotless and basically unused. These are £30 from Bass Direct from where it was purchased (plus £4 postage) and I'm asking £25 posted in the UK as I already have the longer one for me.

As I said I would, I have upgraded the knobs with Hipshot O-Ring knobs. They feel much more positive and don't look cheap like I stole them off the front on the oven! Huge cosmetic difference and a small increase in under-finger precision when knob twiddling!

At this rate I might dscover the secret to the Da Vinci Code hidden within its grain! I thought I was commissioning a bass, but I seem to have discovered the unwritten secrets of life. Damn fine work Robbie -

Hi Rob, Welcome to Basschat. There is an affliates forum for bass builders etc. I'd suggest contacting a moderator in regards to using that to advertise and sell your wares an services. Do you have a website, or online gallery... Or even a few pictures of your work that we can sneak a peak at? Shep -
[quote name='simon1964' post='1023015' date='Nov 13 2010, 11:40 PM']Post 63 - the room is booked from 1pm to 6pm. Looking forward to it - looks like there's going to be some fantastic gear there![/quote] Cheers bud! I will unfortunately not be bringing the EBS rig now, but looking at post one we may run out of space for amps! My RIM Marseer is being delivered tomorrow though so happily I will definitely have that to bring along

Sorry of this has been covered already... What time are things being kicked off next Saturday? Do we have to vacate by a certain time? Shep

Powering lots of pedals at different polarities
pantherairsoft replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Effects
I emailed Moog earlier and they just replied.. Basically they informed me that the Diago supplies work with the red tips but hiss like a bastard. Apparently any multipower system will do the same. The only ones that keep them quiet are those with isolated power outputs, or to use a virtual battery for each. They recommend using separate power supplies over any system... Those which have isolated outputs are far more expensive than I'm happy to pay. -

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1022856' date='Nov 13 2010, 08:11 PM']it's just that they have a picture of a moog in their diagram that made me draw that conclusion the blue one is a jack, so i was wrong about that.. [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/pedal-power/instructions.html"]http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/pedal-p...structions.html[/url] i use mine with a mb compressore 12v, mxr blowtorch (18v with adaptor) and a bunch of other pedals and it never seems to mind anything. magic little boxes.[/quote] Your not wrong! I'd read somewhere that Moogerfoogers didn't like sharing power supplies (like line6 ToneCore stuff) but I can no longer find that webpage and this seems to imply otherwise! -

[quote name='Finbar' post='1022852' date='Nov 13 2010, 08:06 PM']Both Diago Tourmans - same size! [/quote] I think you had quite a few more pedals though if I recall... Lots of smaller stomp boxes...? Not got any George L's left you want to part with do ya? -

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1022832' date='Nov 13 2010, 07:49 PM']can't you daisy-chain the diago and use red adaptors for the moog or blue (longer barrel) ? or have i got that wrong ? if 1 powerstation won't do the lot, then two might be the way forward..they don't seem to mind a mix of 9 & 12v imo.. with the exception of the 24-v pedal.[/quote] Hmmmm the red one might in theory... Anyone have an experience of doing this with a Moogerfooger? Shep -

[quote name='KiOgon' post='1022829' date='Nov 13 2010, 07:47 PM']Hi Shep, If I can source the longer plugs I can make up a PSU with leads for the 3 moogerfoogers at least, will send you a PM. Cheerz, John[/quote] That sounds promising. Ironically I think I can get the plugs from where I work for you! I was unsure if the Moogers would get noisy being connected to the same supply? -
Hi guys... I'd like to reduce the number of mains plugs I'm having to use to run my monster board. Any suggestions on slimming the following down would be appreciated... The easy stuff - All run off a Diago power station... ALL 9v Centre Neg Boss DD20 Boss SL20 Boss OC2 EBS Unichorus Guyatone Phase Shifter Tech 21 XXL Bass Devi Ever Soda Meiser 3Leaf Groove Regulator That's one plug. Then all of the following are run on individual power supplies... All 9v centre pos, but will happily take 12v. These need to have a long type power connector rather than the common shorter one. Moogerfooger MF-101 Moogerfooger MF-102 Moogerfooger MF-107 Markbass SuperSynth (12v pos with a huge draw of 550ma) Moog MP-201 (12v pos but with an odd connector, looks like a regular barrel with a yellow cap and a really tiny centre hole) Old EHX Bass MicroSynth (24v pos). I'm happy with the Diago and I'm thinking the SuperSynth is best on it own due to a huge draw, as well as the BMS as it needs 24v. Is there a supply that could wither run everything run by the Diago PLUS the 3 moogerfoogers, or just something that will power the 3 moogers. I am unsure about the MP201 as it's connector is very odd and finding an adaptor may not be easy. Even a way to power the 3 moogerfoogers would save me 2 plugs! Cheers Shep

[quote name='harvey1-8' post='1022611' date='Nov 13 2010, 04:59 PM']It looks awesome, those Moog pedals ain't sheep either. Worth the extra?[/quote] Worth the Sheep... The Low Pass Filter really is THE way to to the synth sweep & drone sound that guys like BOND & John Davis do, for that it's amazing. The Ring mod is very good, goes from Trem to bitcrush. The Freqbox is mental, and utterly amazing. To get your monies worth out of them though you HAVE to have an expression pedal for each of them... Where the Freqbox is concerned I'd suggest 3 expression pedals and it becomes an endless supply of tones. I have the Freqbox in 3 channels of the multipedal and the ring mod in one, with the LPF on it's own pedal... -
I owned a 5 Spitfire for a while an have a 6 Spitfire on the way (see link in sig). AMAZING! Sound like no other in the top end, very versatile everywhere else. Bernie is a great craftsman as well. There is a GB thread here if you havn't seen it - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17506"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17506[/url] and EBS_Freak is our resident expert. Prices... 2.5k gets you something basic (painted finish, nothing exotic on the wood front, no LED's or fancy stuff) but the skys the limit from there....

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='1022230' date='Nov 13 2010, 10:11 AM']Nice work! I suggest adding a Nocto Loco... I have the kit for one ready to build that's been sitting here untouched for over a year! One day I shall finally build it...[/quote] Interesting pedal! I think I have enough for now though The Moog MP-201 opens up such a world of possibility as well... You can do so much more with the Moogerfoogers on the back of that pedal! Shep -
