New toys in the house!! The last of my bits arriving early next week. Not yet put the board together but on paper it looks something like this... SFX custom Interface Box -> TC Elec Polytune -> EB HighGain Volume Pedal -> Loop Pedal (with all of the following in it's loop) -> MammothSounds Audio custom Mid-Booster -> MXR Blowtorch -> Tech 21 XXL Bass Edition -> EBS Octabass -> EMMA DiscumBOBulater (with custom SFX switch) -> MammothSounds Audio Chimaera Feedback Loop (with the follwing two pedals in it's loop) -> EBS Unichorus -> Boss DD-20 Giga Delay -> (back to Chimaera) -> (back to Loop Pedal) -> (back to Interface Box) -> Phew... I am considering replacing the Loop Pedal with The Feedback Loop as it is a dual pedal one, acting as a Loop and/or a Feedback Loop. Effectively having all pedals available within the Feedback Loop rather than just the Chorus and Delay. I am however slightly concerned about popping the wrong switch in a live situation and rather than going from 4 or 5 effects straight back to clean, instead forcing them all through the Feedback Loop... Which could be interesting. Pics as soon as I get chance to build the damn thing... DD-20 absolutely rocks by the way :-)

New toy from [SFX]… Interface box to protect my ever growing pedal board. This provides (and I quote)… - [i]Electrostatic protection on input/output[/i]. It protects the pedals from electrostatic charges that can be carried through the jacks. - [i]EMI protection[/i]. Filters the input from radio interferences. - Polarity and overvoltage protection. If the input power supply voltage is too high or the wrong polarity the device protects the pedals. - [i]Power supply filtering[/i]. The unit filters the power supply from spikes and noise. - [i]Mechanical protection[/i]. When the unit is installed in the pedalboard, none of the pedals is subject to mechanical stress through the input/output connectors. I have also picked up a Jim Dunlop High Gain volume pedal for some crazy swells with growling effects and feedback. My DD-3 is leaving the building and a DD-20 is replacing it this week, plus another 2 small custom items from Mammoth sounds are joining me as well. Lovely :-)

Heavily influenced by Deftones thanks to the lead's obsession with them I joined in January and they've not got round to updating the Myspace yet but there's some demo tracks on there (featuring the old bassist) so feel free to have a mooch and add us. www.myspace.com/onibanduk[/quote] I like! Good stuff. You definately need to get some of the stuff recorded, mixed and mastered properly. Lots of potential! [quote name='alanbass1' post='795867' date='Apr 4 2010, 06:13 PM']Alas not.[/quote] Shame. Still cool all the same! [quote name='Clarky' post='795919' date='Apr 4 2010, 07:13 PM']Gosh, I'm starting to blush now Thanks again[/quote] Agreed on that track. Definately my fav' on there!

[quote name='alanbass1' post='795010' date='Apr 3 2010, 01:01 PM']Playing with a band called Peach: www.myspace.com/peachtheband[/quote] Not the same 'Peach' that Justin Chancellor was with before he joined Tool then? :-) Really glad I got this thread going. Some awesome stuff been added to my play list on the back of this. Looking forward to some of you playing gigs locally to myself! Shep

Wattage doesn't really mean much between manufacturers.. My EBS Session 60 is a 60w 1x10 and is about 3 times as loud as my good friends 100w 1x15 (might be a 1x12, I forget) Fender Rumble. It's not so much the wattage, more how the technology behind the amp drives them.

[quote name='alexharvay' post='794571' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:29 PM']Yeah I can see what you mean. Thanks for the nice comment as well. I think Reuben is our biggest influence, in all but vocal style.[/quote] I supported Reuben a few years ago. My only gig on the main stage at Nottingham Rock City. Was my old band (Sideshow), then Capdown, then Reuben. Was a good night!

[quote name='alexharvay' post='794547' date='Apr 2 2010, 06:55 PM']I'll have to check those two out, never heard of them.[/quote] Ha. usually the way. More Sinch than Chevelle… All good though. 2 of my Fav's

[quote name='alexharvay' post='794523' date='Apr 2 2010, 06:28 PM']I'm in a few covers/function bands. All with cringe worth names. My originals band is Without Warrant. There's a link to our myspace below. We're a 3 piece currently on hold as our singer/guitarist is in the land of Oz. Parts of our songs sound like Reuben, parts like Deftones, parts like Silverchair and parts like Muse. 'An Open Space' and 'A Parting Shot' are my favourite.[/quote] Really liking the stuff dude! Agree with A Parting Shot being a good track (Cool bass sound!). I hear lots of Sinch and Chevelle in the sound, particuarly the guitar work, which is no bad thing!

Wicked. See... I knew this was a good idea!!

[quote name='BassJase' post='794451' date='Apr 2 2010, 04:57 PM']Good band Pantherairsoft, loving the Apartment 26/Filter kinda vibe. How much is your E.P?[/quote] Cheers dude. I hear Filter in it as well, but it seems the rest of te guys arn't so into them... Ironic really. As for the EP, I think it's 79p a track on iTunes, if you want a CD drop me a PM and I'll have a word with the guys an see if there are any from the last production run left. Shep

[quote name='uzzell' post='794438' date='Apr 2 2010, 04:41 PM']Kind words are always appreciated so thank you. I'll be sure to pass on the compliments to the vocalist's. Thanks again.[/quote] Oh yeah, sweet bass playing too

[quote name='uzzell' post='794415' date='Apr 2 2010, 04:22 PM']I am currently working with an act by the name of Buswell.[/quote] Really cool stuff. Would love to hear it with the Orchestra idea as well. Kinda like what Mike Patton is currently doing with Mondo Cane. Nice vocal work as well! [quote name='Bassassin' post='794416' date='Apr 2 2010, 04:23 PM']OK, I'll join in. My band's [b]Maya29[/b][/quote] Not sure why but your Myspace has some Gangsta' Rap stuff playing as background music which I can't seem to locate a way to stop it! :-) You have to 'pop-out' the player and close Myspace to listen to your stuff.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' post='794390' date='Apr 2 2010, 03:59 PM']If any one is interested its myspace/bandofgold08[/quote] I hear a touch of Mr Bungle! Class :-)

I love this… so much… damn you… I'll swap you for an Xbox 360, A packet of Hobnobs & £50. Before you answer though, please bear in mind the current high street value of a good packet of Hobnobs

[quote name='Eight' post='794370' date='Apr 2 2010, 03:43 PM']Unfortunately, I'm not in a band. So that's as far as I go here. [/quote] Good start

Hi Guys and Gals, Not sure we have one of these, although we probably do as its an obvious thing to do. If there is a similar thread somewhere then would a mod please close this to avoid duplication. If not… here's the rules… The idea is to get a little coverage for what you do amongst out great community. I've had the pleasure of seeing a few BassChatters play live and have discovered some cool bands by doing so. There must be millions more out there and I for one want to hear them!!! Some forum members do stuff that is fairly well known, but that doesn't mean they should not make an entry on the thread. 1. Introduce the band/project/group etc. your currently playing with/working on. What they're called, style of music, brief summary. Include influences f that helps. 2. Link to a website/myspace/facebook… if possible, one that has some audio so we can hear what you do! 3. Don't use this to advertise gigs as there is a forum for this already!!! In an attempt to keep it all clean and easy to follow, just post the details of your band once (Don't update your website next week and then post again). Obviously feel free to comment on peoples bands etc. A little good press on the thread will only make more members interested! —————————— I'll go first…. I'm fairly new to the band given a recent 'restructure'. The band is called [color="#000000"][size=3][b]Aphemia[/b][/size][/color], consists of 5 members (Vocal/Guitar, Guitar, Drums, Synth, Bass) and we all reside around the Derby/Nottingham area, rehearsing in Derby. I would describe the music as Industrial/Synth driven Hard Rock. I guess it pays reference to lots of artists, but the thing that enticed me to join them was the fact that I didn't find it sounded too much like any one particular act. For anyone that thinks it might be their cup of tea, here's the Myspace - [b][size=3][url="http://www.myspace.com/myaphemia"]Aphemia[/url][/size][/b] Hope you all like it! Right, who's next…?

It does sound like the neck is too straight, should be a small adjustment though and shouldn't take much doing... Not a hard job unless something sinister has gone off that we don't know about. Just be careful, small turns are all you need. I'd give it a quarter turn. Tune up. Check it. Repeat if needed. If you have done this 3 or 4 times (truss had 3quarters - one full turn) and nothings changed, then take it to an expert. Shep

Very interesting read there Russ. Bernie kept his birthday quiet though!!!!

Bump for these boys

I'll have a word with Andy and Dave at the Drum centre on Saturday... No promises but I'll certainly have a word when I'm in next! UPDATE - Looks like it's a no go from the Drum centre... Back to the good old 'hire a room concept'.

Agreed. Pub would be good. The Magnet thing was just an idea... :-)
