My Roscoe is 32" scale... and up for grabs... do it! 32"is the way though. The difference between 32 and 33 feels far more beneficial than the move from 34 to 33. I love 32" scale.

Kind words dude. Each improvisation was done on a different day, so it captured the mood I was in at the time, based on what had happened that day. It was an interesting fortnight when I tracked that stuff! Shep.

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1414506605' post='2589967'] Very cool! Clicked on Lost in the dark and almost feel off my chair from the opening note, had the volume turned up a bit too much. [/quote] Yeah... I may have pushed the mastering limiter a little too hard actually! Ha.

I haven't had a board for a while now, and it's taken a while to get around to getting this up online, but if anyone is interested in the sounds that came from my last monster live pedalboard set up, here are a number of improvisations using it before I split it all up (and sold most of it!). Signal chain listings are on each tracks info... https://sheponbass.bandcamp.com/album/astronominal

Hey folks, today saw the release of my solo bass/effects/noise album, Astronominal. [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]The record is available to stream and download here -> [/font][/color][url="https://sheponbass.bandcamp.com/album/astronominal"]https://sheponbass.bandcamp.com/album/astronominal[/url] [url="https://sheponbass.bandcamp.com/album/astronominal"][IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Astronominal3_zpsdaaaec6a.jpg[/IMG][/url] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Each track is a live one-take improvisation using bass and effects, between 2 and 9 minutes in length. Drums, percussion and vocals/spoken word were added later to suit the vibe of the improvisation. The listing for each track contains the effects signal chain, so you don't have to ask if you're interested in such geekery. I'd like to mention two thank you's as well - firstly to my good friend, our own mcgraham for the album name (a typo in conversation), and secondly to the very talented Steuart Liebig for showing me that releasing crazy stuff on the bass is totally OK![/font][/color] [font="Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif"][color="#141823"]This record will certainly not be for everyone, and is, in the most part, highly unaccessible musically speaking, but I hope it does catch a few ears [/color][/font] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Cheers,[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Shep[/font][/color]

Hope this is allowe (Mod's?).... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/237717-submix-mixing-mastering-services/ I've already done some work for some Basschatters too. Shep

As suggested above - Spend as much as you can and get the best (to your ears) your money will buy, then use them to death until you know every little nuance there is. Buy second hand if you can, so you can get more for your money, but if you have to buy new, the Presonus Eris range are (to my ear) the best of the budget bunch. I also quite like the old faithful Alesis M1. If you can pick up any old Events (TR5, TR8 etc) then they are killer. I've been an Event user for some time and swear by them (I'm now using 20/20 BAS V3), but we are dangerously close to changing the discussion to 'whats your favourite monitors', rather than important question of 'what is right for me?'. Also, like bass cabs, they all have their own flavour, and buying any without trying them out with music you know to see how they suit your ear is a big gamble.

Thats hard to say. Gain knob or not, it's a different filter with a different sound, which you also may not like. You could put both pedals in a loop using something like a Boss LS-2 and you can then lower the loop volume for when they are used together to match unity. I would alway advocate finding a way to use the pedals you have (you can try lowering the resonance on the filter as well) before adding addition pedals to the chain, but this could provide you with a decent solution.

It's likely to be the fuzz's high harmonics making the resonant peaks of the envelope jump out. It's fairly common for a high gain pedal to 'drive' later effects in the chain. I would suggest dropping the volume of the fuzz (I assume you have this before the envelope). This may however change the tone slightly of the pair run together as you will not be driving the envelope as hard.
