Glad you let me stand on a box at the back of this pic - makes me look taller than everyone for the 1st time ever!

Cheers man - don't fear I have quite a list in progress

Not super pricey given the cost of the bass, but not cheap. There is a standard upcharge for anything 'non-standard', though that charge does not change. Standard is 34" on a 4 string and 35" on a 5, 6 or 7. I think it was around $300 (US) if I recall correctly (though it maybe slightly either side of that). They only do it on a custom or signature though - not on a standard.

Hopefully on track to ship at the end of the month....!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1341865638' post='1725444'] Headphones aren't working (cat chewed the wire) & my Mrs is writing a tutorial for a magazine, so I have to wait until she's finished (been at it since Wednesday! [/quote] Unlucky!!

Cheers guys! [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1341864866' post='1725429'] Top bloke & great interview. Still no sound to listen to your live stuff yet [/quote] No sound!? Headphones?

Another! 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] Nathan Navarro's name goes hand in hand with the Source Audio Hot Hand Controller. A pioneer in Dubstep bass, but from a hard rock/metal background, he is the bass player for Pinn Panelle amongst other projects and is a name on the lips of many people involved in the world of live electronica. Enjoy! Shep

Hey, So we played a killer little festival last month in Bolton called Dogstock. It was a wicked weekend. A chap there was able to record the set post desk for us and get us the WAV's - After lots and lots of mixing volume levels (it was post desk so things went up and down as the sliders were moved). We have it balanced right. Quick master and here we go. We feel it's the best our actual on stage sound has ever been captured so we thought we'd put it out. For those that don't know who Our Helical Mind are, we play live breakbeat, drum & bass, hiphop, dubstep and funk grooves using an acoustic drum kit, bass guitar and a pile of analogue effects pedals. No sequencers, samplers, laptops etc etc. The performance features 2 MC's that we know, though the set is not rehearsed in any way and all the vocals are freestyled. Anyway... I hope some folks enjoy it. http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/live-from-dogstock-2012

I bet your amp loves you for restricting it's airflow! :-) Looking pretty awesome dude. My band dropped a live EP today. It's best live recording we have ever had and captures what we actually sound like really really well. Throughout the 6 track set I use every single unit on the board with the exception of the Freqbox so check out a few of my lovely sounds. It's bass > board > Genz Streamliner 900 > Barefaced Big Twin being recorded with a blend of a Mic and a DI... Plus the Big Twin is so loud that you hear a little bit in every vocal and drum mic too - Just how I like it!!! http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/live-from-dogstock-2012

Me too!!

Darkstrike on TalkBass pointed out that it looks like the Eye of Sauron between the neck and neck pickup. He's not wrong either!

This just in - Pickup slots routed and 1st coat of sealer applied.... [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/63643.jpg[/IMG] Oooooooooooooooooh right!

Thanks dudes! Just had 3 more back from guys as well so plenty more to come over the next few months!

Have you tried a different daisy chain cable (not the supply, just the cable). Some cheapens are not great - I'm not saying its the cause, but it could be! Make sure you don't power much more than 1amp with a daisy chain either as they tend to get noisy even when te supplies can handle more (IME only this is...) I have one I can lend you if you want to try. I Coul also lend you a GigRig distributor to power the pedals off from your power supply - that would deduce for sure if it's the supply. Has it always been noisy or has it got worse? Just wondering if a power surge or similar damage it at some point? Those harley Benton ones seem very good for the money if you are in a budget.

Very very different. Regulated and filtered is what 99% of professional power supplies do - to remove mains hum and interference and to ensure the output only gives the pedals what the pedal asks for. A supply, for example the Diago Powerstation uses this technology, but as it uses a daisy chain and only has one output there is the chance that interference can appear later in the chain of outputs, caused by the power lines picking it up rather than the supply itself. It's rare, but can happen. Artec are basically making the claim that every output has this protection as they all come from the brick itselt. In practice I doubt you would notice a difference. Isolation uses a circuit to close the ground so no common ground is shared. It means the pedal it's powering thinks it is powered by a stand alone power supply and is not having to share a power source with any other pedal. In many cases this makes no difference at all. Some pedals however (Moogerfoogers for example) will just not play ball without an isolated supply and either will not power up, lower the noise floor of the signal chain or whine like a b**ch! Can I ask why you need/think you need isolated outputs? I only ask this as quite often people try pedals on a multi supply and they don't play ball and think this is because they require isolation, however in over 50% of cases (IME) it's actually because they are not getting enough juice! Most daisy chain supplies will not output large amounts of mA/draw per output, even some pedals with multiple outs (like the Artec) are limited to 100mA per output - this sounds like a lot and often far more than the manufacturers state is needed, but if you look at the dedicated power supply that it works fine with/the manufacturer supply they are often over double the required mA as that headroom makes the pedals happy. Since I moved to a GigRig supply using the distributors (that are not limited in anyway per output, unlike a daisy chain) I found 4 pedals that I thought required isolating, actually just needed more power than the daisy chain could supply and they now work perfectly off the distributor. Anyway... I've rambled on - Why do you need isolation?

From the official website - http://artecsound.com/effect/index.html If they don't say it's isolated then it isn't!

Man I'd get 2 Moogerfoogers AND an Octave pedal on that board!

That board is full of serious WIN!!!!

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1341233926' post='1715441'] Ooh that reminds me, I pretty much hate the Boss CEB-3, but my EBS died some months back. Anyone have any bass chorus tips? [/quote] get another Unichorus. It is a great pedal! The Analogman Chorus is lovely too. I use the Moog Clusterflux which is seriously expensive and serious overkill for most... before that I was always very happy with the EBS!

It was bought to my attention that as this thread gets longer it may become harder to find the links to the interviews etc... So I have updated the opening post with all the links and each time a new interview is published in the thread I will add the link to opening post for the purpose of quick reference. Shep
