Will see what I can do about coming to the West Mids one. The response to the Nottingham one has been a tad slow. 16 votes is a tad low to make the event worth doing. Thinking that trying to plan something bigger for earlier next year is a better idea.

Bought a Boss OC-3 from Nomis. Arrived quickly. Cheer bid Shep

G bought my SKB Roto case. Great communication. Problem free transaction. Thanks bud Shep

Keith bought some strings from me. Great communication and quick postage. All good! Cheers Shep

Ah! Thanks for the input Alex! I hadn't realised both speakers were low-passed, I thought it was just the bottom one! The mid driver is a monster - some serious output from that baby! It gets it's first live show tomorrow night as well! Oh, thanks for the front page quote on the we site too! Shep

Hey folks... Looking for advice. With any luck I'm on for a substantial bonus at the end of the month and am looking to invest in a few bits to sort out my set up... Wireless goodies! I currently have 2 cables running from my pedalboard to the bass - one running the audio signal and one sending me a metronome click for my headphones. The instrument lead is all sorted, where I need some help is with my metronome. Myself and my drummer use a click live for much of what we do. Wireless monitors are notoriously expensive, but I'm in a situation where I'm wondering if I can get away with some wireless headphones. Basically the quality of sound being received really doesn't matter, as long as what does come through, comes through clean and without interference. I receive nothing but metronome click so a wide frequency response is also no problem. Our drummer controls the metronome tempo etc, so I need something with a compact receiver to sit with him, no further away than your average stage (10m should be fine, 20m would be nice - just in case). As this is only for a metronome and I can 'cope' with the headphone extension lead I'm currently using from the headphone amp/splitter I'm looking for suggestions with cost in mind (cheaper the better). I actually prefer overheads too. Anyone have experience using wireless headphone rather than dedicated in-ear monitors or is this a serious stupid-never-going-to-happen kind of thought. Shep

Cool. I like the groove in your sample (the 'live' feel is something I really dig). I understand where you were going with regards to your thoughts on sound after hearing that too. In a way I try to make it not sound too much like a bass and deliberately like a bass-synth (keys with lots of bass) mainly for the "wow - thats actually a real bass" effect when folks see it live. Ironically though, my drummer was saying this week that it would be nice for me to use some fatter overdriven sounds with bitcrushing etc rather than fuzz on fuzz with it all - So maybe an OD pedal is on the books.

Yes. But the Moog pedal contains an envelope follower and has a very wet sounding resonance that can be fine tuned to effect the sound coming in as well. It's obviously going to react better to sounds with lot of bass, and high harmonic content (like fuzz, Subdecay noisebox, copilot orbit etc etc) but the Moog LPF compared to other LPF is 'flavoured' traditionally gto work with Moogs style of synth tone.

+10000000 on the above. The LPF makes for THE BEST synth sounds on the planet. Octave & different fuzz/noise pedals before it, modulation afterwards. I'm yet to find any synth pedals that sound anything near as synth like as the LPF can get!

I made comment on my thread for the Barefaced Big Twin T, but worth mentioning here - If you are using your Barefaced Dubster cab with this set up, you'll never get the swells to sound like on the vid - The cab is designed to have pretty much zero highs, and to get the top of those swells you need lots of high, preferably a tweeter. You'll get fat synth bass, but not up to the 'key's' territory.

I looked at the Dubster too - the Big Twin T goes lower than the Dubster, but with less immense low mid power, which suited me better. The Dubster also won't go high enough for my swells and synth stuff where I need a tweeter. Actually worth mentioning that in rears to your other thread about the Moog LPF - those synth tones you made reference too won't be achievable at the top end with the Dubster due to the fact it needs some serious highs. You'll get swells, just not quite like on the vid.

This is the official one for the current XO version - http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/electro-harmonix-96dc-200bi-714-p.asp If you bought it from a UK store though, they should swap the plug for free as it's supposed to come with a 3-pin from the UK distributor.

The new XO version works on 9v, but requires an isolated supply - so it's own adapter (200mah plus) or a gig rig virtual batter if you want to daisy chain it. The old school version needs 24v supply!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1318247799' post='1399599']Turn the cutoff to about 9 o'clock (or just above) & put it on 2 pole to start with. I have the res at @ 4, but if you want a bassier sound, take it down (between 0 & 2 has tonnes of bass! ). Amount should be at 0 & the Mix at 10. I notice Shep's on here too, let's see how our settings compare.[/quote] Great minds think alike!!!

Dub tone - you don't need any other effects, although octave Down can't help. On the LPF - Res - 0 Mix - 10 Env - doesn't really matter 2 or 4 pole Fast Boost the bass on your Pre/before the filter. Start with cutoff about half way, then start playing and slowly roll the cutoff back until it starts to go sub-tastic and remove all the top end. The more bass in the mix before it, the more pronounced it'll be. Octave down will fatten it more - seems the frequency response is best around the 12th fret on the A string when using an Octave down. If you engage a fuzz before it you won't hear it with the cutoff that low, but if you then swell the cutoff with an expression pedal you can add some lovely synthy fat swells (add a little resonance if you do this, about 4).

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1318074060' post='1397826'] i'd stick an Re-20 about 2' away.maybe more pointing toward the upper 12. That should capture all the speakers fairly well and get an accurate representation of what you're hearing. Guess if you're only sharing the stage with a drummer bleed wouldn't be a huge issue either! i'd definatly take a di to aswell though. [/quote] Definitely. A DI & single mic will be more than enough for live. I'm happy to have something that will do the job without proper PA support, as is the situation a few bars in the local area. They are set up with small speakers around the roof that the DJ just plugs into, but not really suitable for a live mix.

Dude, it may not need it - by my god does it roar! I have to watch that EQ boost at 50hz as it moves furniture! Fact.

Not wrong!
