I've got 3 shows with KADE in the next week so decided to sort the board out today. This is the last time you'll see my setup before it migrates to one of my [url="http://www.reallyawesomepedalboards.co.uk"]Really Awesome Pedalboard Company[/url] boards. I'm basically using the PitchFactor for everything these days having spent a lot of time with it. It does my pitch shifting, crazy delay, reverb, ambience, octaves, synths, some fuzz, chorus and modulation, plus a bucket load of other sounds now that I've started feeding it LFO's form the MP-201. I'll be adding an aux switch soon so I can move around it easier in the near future.

It is a bass chatters gig... I'm opening!

Today we release the live recording of our recent gig here in Nottingham - 'live at stuck on a name studios' is available as a name your own price download, which includes FREE. Check it out and grab a copy. It's a good reflection of how we have evolved since we put out aphotic love feel and captures our live mix perfectly.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1376293929' post='2171682'] How about sanding it smooth under the handle and touching it back with black? [/quote] That would work. Though my knuckles would still be catching something (ie a flat surface) and I'm a sensitive little thing

I've been running a Barefaced Big Twin T for some time now, Alex will better tell you my purchase date, but circa 18 months as my only cab for live and studio use. It's one of the heaviest (maybe THE heaviest) in the Barefaced range, yet my handles have not frayed/rubber torn like many have. It's clearly just a fact that rubber wears. In time I'm sure mine will go, but they are an easy and cheap replacement so I don't see a problem. My only observation is due the weight in my cab, when carrying the handles flex to thier limits, which in turns means I can catch my knuckles on the abrasive coating of the cab. I mentioned to Alex shortly after I received the cab that I was considering changing to the fold out metal ones which were shown on the last page and he pointed out the door frame width issue them. I got the measuring tape out and rest assured, it wouldn't go through a door whilst being carried so I persevered with the stock ones. After all this time they are going strong and are generally the least of my worries. That said, if there is a replacement on the horizon then I'm keen to see it!

Fun afternoon. Nice to see those who turned up (always good to hang out Ste!). That Wal was lovely!

MIM should be with me within the hour then we'll head over from Nottingham. See you all later!

My partner in crime/music was considering one. He currently uses a Native Instruments Maschine which is VERY good so it'll take some beating. This does look excellent though. Let us know your thoughts when it arrives!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1375950255' post='2167698'] Cool read... I don't have sound here at work. What does the fader pedal actually do? [/quote] It... er... creates fades Ha. one knob sets the length of the fade in from quick to a long 20 second type thing, the second does the same for a fade out. Tap the pedal once and the fade in begins. Tap it again and the fade out starts. Awesome for recreating fades over continuous riffs just like on an album etc.

I don't think it'll fit in the car dude. MIM are swinging by mine on the way, with the 3 of us plus basses etc. It's unlikely. If there is space then yes, I'll bring it along.

Looking forward to it. MIM have added it their events list, I spoke with Jarman today and they can't wait. I can't wait to try his IR MIDI Bass!

It's been a while folks! PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] I caught up with Chris & martin of Coopersonic, one of the UK's best kept secrets... Coopersonic create a range of amazing sounding, hand built pedals, inspired by the technical knowledge of Martin Cooper and the constant touring demands of Six By Seven main man Chris Olley. Together they make some of the finest dirt boxes on the planet, straight out of my hometown.

I've tried it. Wasn't impressed. Seemed to track badly, sounded quite artificial (big tonal shift) and felt like I was going to break it. I tired the Bomber that they make too and was even less impressed. I've not gigged them or anything, just spent an hour playing, but they are certainly not for me.

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1374925771' post='2154837'] Thanks man, so do I loads of fun to be had on it. I'd love to see this tidied up by Shep on one of his Really Awesome Pedal boards! [/quote] Maaaaaan... I'd love to be let loose on that!! Get on the launch offer in the affiliates forum! Awesome board though dude. Big PitchFactor fan.

Cool. All good. If it doesn't work out for you lemme know and I'll take it of you at the price you paid. I was considering one for a compact setup...

Have it delivered to your work address. I've never once paid customs on anything that gets delivered to a business address. Maybe a coincidence... but one that I'm happy with!

The standard Xero is pretty much the cheapest option mate, even with the import taxes. It's still going to be under half the price of a Moog or a custom unit.

I'll bring my Canon 500d and film some stuff. Tom, if your other half has a spare tripod could she bring it? Saves me bringing one along (as I'll forget!).

Sweet

Cool. That was pre-IR bass era too. This is what the new bass can do: http://bitnormalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-five-thunders I'll speak to Jarman, if you fancy them doing a short set then consider it done.

I got a message from Matty & Jarman today from Men Imitiating Machines in Australia (amazing live 2-piece electronic act). They are coming to the UK in a few weeks on tour (I helped and signed the visa applications etc). It said, "We've been looking around what's on in the UK while we have a few days downtime and saw the Basschat meet up. Lets go!" So you may see me and the MIM boys. Jarman plus an Industrial Radio Midi bass, which there are literally only a handful of in the world. If its of interest to people, I'm sure they'd play a 20min set for everyone if there is a PA handy. Providing that all works out I'll bring my Roscoe LG as well

If you wanted something Muff-esque, look to the Tarkin - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/212627-tarkin-fuzz-demo-look-and-listen/page__pid__2146951#entry2146951 Incidentally, I found the same things with the Swollen Pickle!
