[quote name='munkonthehill' post='960947' date='Sep 19 2010, 09:43 AM']I used to own a peavey 150TNT 15" combo............call me iron man hahahahaha[/quote] Ha... Then yes, it's the perfect combo for you! Shep

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='960822' date='Sep 18 2010, 10:47 PM']im quite suprised its heavy, I just assumed the TC was quite light,,,,,,dont know where I got that idea from![/quote] Assume that's why you get such a good amp for the price... By not paying for the brands premium 'lightweight' technology so to speak. It's a 2 person lift for it to be comfortable or your iron man. If you can cope with it being 'Traditional' bass amp weight... Then it's a winner!

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='960782' date='Sep 18 2010, 09:48 PM']i was looking to buy one of these when the sale of my fender goes through.........any chance of a wee review brother??????????[/quote] If you buy this months copy of Bass Guitar Magazine you will find that I reviewed it there! For what they cost its the best combo I've heard. My drummer prefers it to my EBS stack in terms of tone as well! Very hi-fi sounding, with a good compressor and huge amounts of bottom end and volume on tap. In fact more volume than I know what to do with! Great amp. Very very heavy though! Not exactly a portable beast! An EBS Gorm or Drome is all I'd change it for. Unless I had the chance to pick one up at a silly price, I can't imagine finding a better sounding combo this side of £1000

Something non- EBS from me for a change. I've been using this for my D&B project as I wanted a combo for it. Sounds pretty good and does the job perfect... Do miss the EBS tone though. Anyone got a Drome or Gorm and fancy a swap ;-)

I'd agree with the 'Dark' sentiment. Think that owes itself to the Fretless tone though, and depending on your musical needs I can see it working well all round.

I think they are the same dimensions so it might be worth playing about with later.[/quote] I used to feel the same… Bart's never used to do it for me, BUT, with the right wood choice and craftsmanship they just seem to work. They always felt lacking something, but when a set of Bart CB's wen't in my Roscoe… wow! The whole thing came alive. Maybe they just suit the fretless tone great, but I definitely have a new found respect for them!

Agreed. Sound is 50% of it for me. Feel is the other 50%. I agree, I wouldn't swamp any bass with OD unless the music required it. Thats the most important thing… You don't always do 'What You Want'… often its about what the music needs, and if it feels right fattening it up with overdrive then go for it. Karnivool are a great example. Jon Stockman has a stunning Bass Tone, but his distorted tone just sounds amazing, and suits the music perfectly… [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjvtx3HMUks&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjvtx3HMUks...feature=related[/url]

No worries guys! Hopefully you can find one or two that work for you and give you a goo starting point to get more out of the pedal. Shep

Looking good. Body reminds me of my Roscoe. Looking forward to seeing the end result!

[quote name='alexharvay' post='959443' date='Sep 17 2010, 01:57 PM']Jesus! That's changed around a bit since I was last on here. I see you've ditched the MXR Ocatve Deluxe and reverted back to the OC-2. I want to get an OC-2 for comparison to see which I prefer. Cracking board mate.[/quote] Thanks bud. The MXR is great. Only reason I got rid was that I bought the Markbass synth and the Octave section of it sounded very much like the MXR! Also at first having 2 Octave pedals seemed a waste. Given the complexity of the stuff I'm doing now where pedal changes are concerned I realised being able to run octve with synth was going to be a good thing. 2 reasons I got the OC2 over another MXR.... 1. OC2 was cheaper... About half the price. 2. OC2 sounds more synth like, and I already had the synth which sounded like the MXR and I decided the choice of 2 Octave down tones would be nice! Just done 3 hours rehearsal. Boards working great, sounding great and generally is great. I actually feel that I'll not be changing anything for a while... And I can't recall feeling like that in a long time!

Yup, with a few of the Synth tones. I don't use a great deal of dirt.

It's a Devi Ever Soda Meiser

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='959030' date='Sep 17 2010, 12:57 AM']Much love for the Moog Ring Modulator. That board looks phenomenal![/quote] Cheers bud. It took some work to get it patched up in a way that I wanted, with the layout that made sense to how much I use the pedals… Ring Modulator rules!

It's been a long night of cutting George L's cable to length... And my god there's some milage of cable... But the board is finally complete, set up and running! Quick pics taken now from my iPhone, I'll get some better pics in the morn with the aid of a decent camera and daylight! And the night shots.... Love it.

Quick and easy pedal trade with Tom. Perfect communication and pedal exactly as described! Cheers bud Shep

No worries. The ones I use most are 4, 5, 7, 8 & 9, plus octave 1 & 3. The others have thier place but are seriously odd ( and i run them with with other effects )

More neck shaping going on. Profile starting to look lice and slim, just like the brief.

Right, here are my settings. 2 pics for each of the Synth tones, one of the Dynamics page and one of the Oscillators page. Some of these sounds are very odd and quite harsh, but are used sparingly. I've given them a brief description below… I use this with my Roscoe 6 string Fretless, light gauge strings, and through a TC Electronics BG500 210. Tonally the settings below work great with that combination. You may need to use your PC's zoom function to read all the exact numbers!

Anyone going from, or through Nottingham fancy a tag-along?
