[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1329238348' post='1539376'] Sigh. What a douche. [/quote] Agreed

He was a massive stoner and always drunk for gigs. Real punk muso personified. He Jazz was battered to hell, he didn't have 20p to his name. I guess this seemed easier...

I use one on on the preamp to protect the power amp/speaker for large spikes but don't use one on the board at all for the music I play. I find it crushes dynamics and the really low low bass frequencies a little too much as well as playing havoc with ambient sound levels (like reverb & delay).

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1329235002' post='1539277'] I have a warm feeling inside from reading this [/quote] :-) I had a guy ask if he could use my Roscoe at a gig about 6 months ago. We played a live show with ska & punk bands (odd mix for us to play with) and one guy was drunk out his face and wouldn't let it go. Asked about 5 or 6 time if he could use my bass rather than his Mex Jazz. I thought he was joking around to start with... turns out he does it at every gig and often people say yes!

I did... And we left as we'd already played

Yeah. Loop logic is a custom shop item and not on the main site. He has made 2 or 3 I recall him saying. My version is called 'Loops Mixer' and is the 1st with the added functionality. I'm sure he'll build either again and make any changes needed to suit your set up.

I spoke to Jes @ TC about it and it's due tot he space. They had to lob off certain features to fit the board inside. Feedback was that hardly any bassists use the poly mode so they cut that out. Something had to give for them to make the tiny version basicially. No USB for future updates etc either. It is being sold as a 'stripped down' Polytune, in size and features - It's a little cheaper than the full size one and really is for those on a space budget for small boards or that doesn't need as many advanced tuning functions.

Urgh... not you as well...

Arrived from TC Electronic today (I won it on the facebook 'best pedalboard' competition)... [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/235c2a4a.jpg[/IMG] Cool little thing. Polymode not available for a bass though - so It's strictly only a Chromatic tuner for bassists.

I always let others use my cab, but NEVER my amp. Even with advance notice. If anyone asks the answer is no. Using the cab comes with the requirement that no drink gets sat on top of it. I always tell folk, if I see a pint on it during your set I'll come and unplug it mid set, even if it's not your pint. protect it. People always think I'm joking... 6 months ago, at a Nottingham show a guy did not take notice. He turned up 'assuming' he could borrow gear, yet I still let him use the cab after he pleaded another bassist to let him use his amp. I went up to the stage mid set and pointed at the pint sat on my cab. He moved it looking a little coy. 5 minutes later, his singer put a pint of water on it. I gave him 60 seconds to notice, walked over, got up on stage as they finished a number, flipped the power to his amp off and unplugged my cab. The band started swearing at me. I swore back and told them they had been warned twice. My closing words were "if you want to play a full set next time, I'd suggest bringing your own gear". I wasn't very popular. Oh well. They were warned.

Yeah Michal is cool. I've spoke to him a few times. I think he's a BEF Pro user if I recall.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1329212796' post='1538711'] the loop logic I have is the same as an LS2 but it lets you select either A or B as well as A+B mixed, and they're all levelled out [/quote] I've only just started using it but it does exactly what I needed. In the same was as the Loop Logic it lets me jump from the A/B mode that my LS-2 used to do, straight into the A/B mix mode that the LS-2 used to do. My version however will let me select the single channel that will be active when you come back out of mix mode.

Mine was built by Max (you can't get the stuff in shops - just direct), but mine has a slight change to the 'loop logic' blender or the split & mix stuff he builds, made specifically for my application... Max @ SFX is amazing at making stuff that works FOR YOU.

Octave down & a fuzz. Wall crumbling stuff Or... a ZVEX Mastotron with the sub switch to 3! BOOM!

Played a couple of his basses at Bassday a couple of years back and was very impressed with both the tone and feel. Great instruments I thought.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1329002657' post='1536032'] That's a good read. I need/want more FX! [/quote] Cheers dude. Quality over quantity etc. Not sure how I managed 2 blog posts today. Must be in the zone! If there's any points I left out then post away.... On another note, added this to my board today: [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/6326cb83.jpg[/IMG] Custom shop SFX 'Loops Mixer', which had replaced my Boss LS-2. I may be offering up one of my OC-2's soon in favour of a different octave voice for my sub channel (likely a MXR BOD).

[quote name='RichF' timestamp='1329001234' post='1536014'] yeah, sorry I am not very clever or dont know much about pedals but i am trying to learn! [/quote] Not at all... I didn't mean that to sound sarcastic! Lol. I suspect you know far more than you think you do. At the end of the day it's not a matter of knowledge, it's a matter of being prepared to experiment an persevere with pedals and sounds. You don't need to be full of wisdom, you just need to WANT to be creative!

Thanks Rich, appreciate your input.

If you want a classic synth sound I would suggest Octave then Fuzz then an Envelope filter. Modulation and EQ applied later. If you are trying to get specific sounds though give us a link, other wise... Try everything. Take a peek at my last blog post as it basically sums this all up too: [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/2012/2/11/signal-chain-basics.html"]Shep on Bass - Signal chain basics[/url]

Thought my most recent blog post may be of interest to a few folks here... [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/2012/2/11/signal-chain-basics.html"]Shep on Bass - Signal chain basics[/url] I figure that some of you may have stuff to add to the discussion (please do post on the blog!). Share it on facebook and spread the word!

[quote name='TonyBones' timestamp='1328987005' post='1535794'] Darkglass nice gear! but I'm a bit hesitant with stuff I don't know or haven't used after everyone told me how good fulltone Bass drivers were, Mine was utter crap [/quote] That sucks... I LOVE my Full Tone Bass Drive. My Fav' Overdrive of all time! Horses for courses and all that.

Personally I'd buy a Sansamp pedal instead. Much less hassle, weight and still the core fundamental of the tone!
