  1. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1347712116' post='1804235'] There are some ridiculous sounds coming out of his bass.. I never knew you could assign separate patches to separate strings!? Blew my mind [i]yet again[/i].. thanks Shep! [/quote] Yeah man you can do so much stuff with some software... Impressive.
  2. I miss this bass! Amazing beast!!!
  3. [quote name='krysh' timestamp='1347640779' post='1803553'] thanks, great shep. but I didn't expect anything else. [/quote] Cheers dude - I can always count on you for some big up's!
  4. Thank you buddy! What Jarman does with MIDI is really quite special. We've spoke a lot on the subject and he maintains that he just fiddles and stuff happens, that he doesn't consider himself to be that well versed in how it all works and how to get results. I beg to differ! The guy is amazing! Shep
  5. Time for some MIDI-bass for a change. Melbourne, Australia's very own Jarman Donohue! 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] Jarman is the dubstep mastermind behind Australia's Men Imitating Machines, a 2-piece projects involving MIDI-Bass and MIDI-Drums and more crazy huge sub wobbling, ear splitting tones than you'd think possible from 2 men. Check out what the MIDI-Bass monster has to say about all things noisy!
  6. If it picks up noise you'll need to move it, if not, don't worry! You'll know the 1st time you fire it up. Just make sure, that if you have a power supply that runs warm, that you are not going to make it even warmer - make sure some air can still get to the casing.
  7. This thread has been viewed over 3500 times since I posted shortly after the OP was made... I think at least 50% of those have been me. I adore this bass! Someone needs to snap this up pronto!!!
  8. Any effects-based trades?
  9. Stunning. Best instruments in the world IMO. I have one on order so no money for this, but can you clarify if the sale includes the midi pickup it's pictured with?
  10. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1347268697' post='1798508'] Having 2 M5's would be more fun! [/quote] This is definitely the best solution!
  11. Unfortunately no, the LS2 will not do that. Reorganising the signal chain is a touch call. I can think of one pedal that will do what you need in this instance - The Wobo Loop Inverter. http://woboge.com/boxes_inverter.html You'd set your chain as follows... Bass - input of loop inverter - - loop1 - every pedal upto and including the tremolo - loop2 - M5 Output of loop inverter - delay The loop inverter lets you swap the signal chain order of the loops, so in one position the long string of effects runs into the m5 and then the delay. Press the button and 1 & 2 get swapped so the M5 runs into the long string of effects and then the delay. Hope that helps Shep
  12. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1346607021' post='1791140'] [i]This[/i] I need to see.. [/quote] All in good time! Next one will be an Australian!
  13. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1346512281' post='1790115'] If you get Mr. Chancellor, just remember to ask him to explain [i]all[/i] of his signal chain.. [/quote] Don't worry about that! That said... I have one interview in the pipeline with someone who's set up at least doubles Justin's!?!? [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1346512593' post='1790121'] Interview with Juan is the best one yet. Great work as always. [/quote] Thanks dude. High praise!
  14. [quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1346510231' post='1790080'] ok, but where can you go from here ? [/quote] Well the plan isn't to interview bigger and bigger artists. It's to interview artists with interesting and complex effects set ups. I have some awesome stuff in the pipeline at the mo, some of which folks will never of heard of - but mega interesting all the same. I will keep trying to track down Justin Chancellor though
  15. How about a sprinkling of Juan Alderete for the weekend... 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'm not sure Juan really needs an introduction... But just in case... Juan is the long time effects champion and bass player with Big Sir, Racer X & The Mars Volta to name but a few, Juan has scored his name among the bass elite during his varied career. Always willing to share his knowledge and experience, Juan was cool enough to answer some questions about his gear and how he uses it...
  16. Questions - 1. Do you just use a single channel of all the rack gear other than the ISP or are both channels in use on some of the units? 2. You run everything AFTER the amp!? Sorry of I'm being a tab dumb here... By why? Surely the amp want to be the last thing before going onto the canb!? Just try they exact wiring set up have but put the amp last and see what the results are. Shep
  17. [quote name='chilli' timestamp='1346408307' post='1788823'] love it...I'll have a debenmans Version 5 super envelope phaser filter plz Good thinking Shep, thanks Opened up the GS and over on the left of the pcb board is written GATE, so guess it's not a huge job (but I dont build pedals ). Shep is your gate on a switch or footswitch? Emiled Ry for prices, depending on Ry's reply I'll either send back to him or I'll bite the bullet and order a new GS and learn about patience...and put the GS up for sale but for the moment I will put this on HOLD until I've spoke to Ry. Will reply to PM's now thanks Chris [/quote] Mine is 'always on' It was build to be purely a gated fuzz. There is a knob that controls how gated which goes from 'so gated the pedal makes no noise' to 'pretty gated'. Typically he makes them with a footswitch, though I'm sure he can do it with a flick switch for you.
  18. Ry will add a gate to it for you I bet! My GS has an always on gate and it's awesome!
  19. [quote name='Orbs' timestamp='1346351425' post='1788250'] A decent contract solicitor can read and explain the small print for you, if your that lucky, hell you could certainy afford to see one! [/quote] That couldn't be further from the truth for most musicians trying to make a living playing original material and looking to get better distribution etc for their music. Most of them don't have 2p to rub together until a few contracts have been signed! At £100+ each time to read over a contract, solicitors are not a great option, but if the MU will do it for free without every band member needing to be a member then you can have them check over everything for piece of mind without worry. The rest of the MU's stuff does not appeal to me at at all - and your experience reinforces my thoughts about what I have read.
  20. [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1346348623' post='1788191'] Instrument insurance isn't worth anything. I have looked into it and asked a lot of questions to potential insurers. Turns out that apart from accidental damage the instruments aren't insured against much - certainly not from being nicked from the car or stage - now heres the killer bit - [b]unless supervised[/b] What does that mean? So, if you are watching your instrument and someone nicks it then you can make a claim! FFS what is the point in that. I'd rather sic my dog on the thieving bugger or twat em with a mic stand. [/quote] I insured 2 Roscoe Basses for £3k each on top of my contents insurance. I have it from the person on the phone AND in writing that they are covered for theft and accidental damage in my property and ANY other locked/secured property (this was important for when they stay at my studio) in the UK. This cost £2 a month on top of my contents with the AA. To insure them in a vehicle was going to cost a silly amount though. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1346349208' post='1788203'] I'm not sure Shep, but give 'em a bell - they really are a friendly bunch! I renewed the other day and had a great chat for waaaay longer than necessary to sort my subscription out! [/quote] I emailed them but got a strange answer which wast really an answer. Something along the lines of 'why would members of you band possibly want to exist without being a member'. My Drummer, who is a member, called and asked. The lady said she had no idea and would call him back. That was a week ago. Thought I'd check here in case anyone had used that service. Shep
  21. [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1346347779' post='1788182'] That looks fun Simwells. What's the pink one? I can't spot a fuzz on there, is that what it is, or do you let your SuperSynth cover your square wave needs? [/quote] No fuzz!? Geiger Counter for the win!!! More fuzz, distortion, overdrive & bit crushing than any man could need!
  22. A bit of thread resurrection here... To those of you who are long time members can you answer the following? I'm particularly interested in the legal support side of stuff that the MU can offer, particularly where they say that they will check contracts etc for you. So If I were to receive and complete a recording/distribution contract etc, the MU would double check over the contract before I send it to ensure I haven't missed something and that someone isn't trying to shaft me - Thats my understanding. What I want to know is, that if the contract includes multiple people, for example a band which I am a part of, would the MU still offer this service to me if I was the only person named on the contract that was a member, or would every member of the band named on the contract need to be an MU member before they would help out? Cheers folks! Shep
  23. [quote name='[email protected]' timestamp='1346259280' post='1787161'] Hey Shep great article about pitch based effects! What's your thoughts on the now discontinued Boss PS3? I've just acquired one myself loving it so far, Lots of options and a lush chorus! You got me gassing for an oc2! [/quote] Hey dude, glad you enjoyed it. A guitarist friend of mine owns a PS3 (pedal, not games console!) and I really like it. I've had a good play on bass and it ticks the right boxes. I've always liked the Boss Pitch effects, though oddly I've always settled on owning other companies versions. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1346259875' post='1787170'] is this just for the tour your doing soon or are you properly going back to basic's then? and like jhunter said above a really good bit on pitch shifting dude! [/quote] I'm keeping the big board if thats what you mean. 2 pedals went (Meatbox and Noisebox) but the main board is still there. Logistically my full set up is a nightmare - it weighs so much it's a struggle for 2 people and due to size it won't go in many vehicles. I expect 'bigger' gigs, rehearsals and recording will be done on the large set up still. What I wanted was a lighter weight set up that can reproduce the songs that I play on the big board (be it with different tones/sounds) - something that fits easily in any car and can be carried with one hand for smaller local shows. The idea is to have a set up that fits in a Diago Showman. So far using just the M13 and 2 Line 6 expression pedals I've been able to 'recreate' the core of all our commonly played tracks, though 2 of them have had to have some sounds sacrificed. The tunes sound very different, but I can recreate te textures, layers and feels fine. I obviously prefer the time of the bigger cool effects, but I'm it sure the audience will be that bothered. I'll likely be using 1 or 2 extras with the M13 - the Aggie and loop mixer for my sub and likely the Geiger counter as its the tunes that use the GC that I'm needing to use 2 patchs at once on the M13 to get a sound that's close. If I can live with the M9 expression pedals I can get those 3 units in a Showman board easy - If I use the MP-201 then I'll not fit the GC. We shall see!
  24. [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1346164516' post='1785959'] Due to the lack of responses, you are clearly no longer cool [/quote] I've known that for a while...
  25. I have the same problem (Just checked now). I'll add it to the tech list and get someone to look into it!
