1 day down... 364 days to go... Avoiding the for sale sections is sooooooo hard

Cool Blog Dan, very informative… Here is a short sample from our Jam on Saturday, using the effect setup I currently have. This is all done on the strings with my effects pedals, no loops, sequencers or samples and no midi… It is missing a lot of bass from the recording, but was just a DI from the amp and its lost quite a bit (Drums sound rough too, this is done with just an overhead mic and was all improv')… Just an idea of the textures we are creating… I aim to re-record this soon but will mic up the cab for a fuller sound… [attachment=63417:08_NEW_TRACK_EDIT.mp3]

[quote name='Dread Bass' post='1015872' date='Nov 7 2010, 11:25 PM']Stunning. I hope his is coming to the Notts bass Bash.[/quote] Of course mate... It may be a little too right handed for your tastes though Shep

Octave down and chorus is a great start. Add fuzz for the synth sound. Bit of delay or reverb for atmospherics. That will do to get you started. Low pass filter is effectively a system that cuts the too frequencies, mixed with an envelope filter for a wah esque sounds... Effectively let's you do deep sub sweeps like a classic synth. Start with octave down... ... Then it'll all go wrong from there! There is so much you can achieve (I unleashed my sound on Phil.I.Stein the other day... As him!) but it's easy to get carried away!

Thanks guys. The excitement really really setting in now...

LS-2 aquired. Game on

Officiall word from Robbie... The bass is FINISHED! 1 week short of 6 months and we have the following masterpiece... Set up and looking amazing... I am one happy man...

I'm trying to not buy gear at all... Just enjoy what I have. If I sell anything, than money will be better spent elsewhere away from bass gear. I am going to aim to no trade anything either... Live with and love what I have, or sell it and use the money wisely!

Well my last weekend of blowing far too much money on gear is drawing to an end. I still really need an LS-2 so reserve the right to buy one this week I if don't hear back from potential sellers tonight (I have at least enquired about the LS-2 his weekend). Everything else I had my eye on to complete my pedal set up I have either irresponsibly purchased, or dropped the idea. I should even have some stuff to sell to recoup some spend (My fancy light up Monkey Dream Pedalboard, Groove Regulator and maybe a few other bits too...)... As suggested I have put this in my sig and will keep tally as the days go by! Wish me luck...

Gramma Pad is amazing. Has done wonders for my D&B sound. As for venues... The Old Angel in Nottingham. I challenge ANY band to sound good in there. I blame playing too many gigs there for failing of my music career lol

Cool stuff man...

Cool stuff mate. Cheers

Tait, Are we all paying on the door? Have we decided on a fair entrance fee (Anything over the required costs should go to charity in true BassBash style)… Shep

1 week today guys! Woohoo

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1014403' date='Nov 6 2010, 03:54 PM']Commendable attitude Shep! Give me a bell if you need anyone to talk things out with, e.g. if you need someone to convince you you don't need something, persuade you your stuff is great, etc. Working on technique is a great way to forget about acquiring gear. Writing stuff too.[/quote] Cheers Mark, I know my stuff is great and I know my technique needs work, and I'm loving writing stuff at the mo... So this should be easy!

Met Si today. Top bloke! Bought his Diago Tourman which he kindly hand delivered. He was even kind enough to humour me by listening to my ramblings about effect in D&B, AND even pretended to enjoy listening to me play some samples of what I do! Cheers Si Shep

Thanks guys... Note I did say from Monday... Still a day and a half left to aquite an LS-2 then I'm good! Lol. I'll add a countdown to my Sig from Monday. I'm serious about doing this right!

Well my rational reasoning is that I will soon be taking reciept if two stunning custom builds... The RIM alone has generated more questions and PM's than I imagined it would... It's certainly been a head turner. I love my amp sound. I love my pedal setup, buy just felt it could achieve more, which I just sorted in the shape of moogy goodness. I really have serious top end pro gear, more than many professional musicians earning a living touring the world. It's very excessive. It's ENOUGH. On that basis I'm clearly buying on impulse as I can pretty much get any sound I need from what I have! It's time to enjoy what I have, rather than hunting for the next best thing... Shep

I seem to of developed a compulsive attitude towards new toys… A kind of buy now and deal with it later attitude. Thankfully its not something that has got me in trouble in anyway, but I've certainly lived beyond my means this last 12 months, what with custom builds, new rig and more pedals than I know what to do with… I have been searching for some pedal solutions for a while to round off what I'm doing, and have just settled on yet more purchases in light of that, hopefully I'll have finalised all such items by the end of the weekend… As such, from Monday, I am declaring a GAS free year. Yes, 12 whole months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the exception of replacing any damaged cables/patch leads/strings/general consumables I will not buy another bass, am, cab, pedal, pedalboard etc etc etc for 12 months… I have more than enough stuff, 2 top end amps, 3 cabs, soooo many effects and some of the most amazing basses, I just need to learn that I can't keep pleasing the credit card companies like this… This will be hard (Kicking my compulsion, not having new toys). So I need your support… If I try and buy anything from you in the Market place… tell me to sod off! Wish me luck, Shep
