that synth is in amazing condition! I've had mine for 5 months and it's as scratched as hell! Can you get any sound clips of the Helter Sketler Overdrive?

how far south-west be you? I might be able to arrange a half way pickup in southampton. Not till september, though. Might bhe intrested in courier if the price is right, though
btw, thats for the 1x15"

TBH, can you REALLY overplay a song if there's only drums and bass? And is it me, or does he look very wooden in the last link on the first post? 4:32 and 4:45. I mean, his right shoulder just looks as though it's rigid.

Right! Sorry for the late feedback! I've been waiting to use a 16-track recorder that I bought off escholl about a month back. Great seller, even though I had to drive 4 hours to get there. :/ Probably won't be doing it for a while yet unless theres something that I can't refuse! Great price for a great product! +1!

what amp do you use the BT with? How is it, generally, in your honest opinion!

dang. These are 4s, arn't they? I've got an acoustic 5 string, and I havnt changed the strings since I got it (2 years ago)

ooooh..... I'm GAs'ing up for that 1x15"!! Well, I won't be able to afford it - not even with my most recent paycheck!! bahh! Hope these sell!

but not as ampeg...

Yeah, tried out an ashdown with a fender jazz in my music shop, liked the tone quite a ot, then switched to a trace elliot and almost puked...

I'm up for trading for a boss ODB-3 for the muff. Pretty OK condition, the rubber on the screw thing for the battery compartmant has gone slightly dodgy, but the only difference this makes is that it stomps softer and quieter.

Doubling on bass? nice! I know it sounds awesome on guitar! Maybe have different dirt pedals on each

I'm not sure if it works on vista. however....

I had vista home basic on my current toshiba laptop, and decided to upgrade (yes, up) to XP. It works wayy faster, and there are no driver problems at all. I'd highly reccommend it. The links that were posted by G-77 are brilliant ones (by the looks of it) especially the alesis one.

Thats not Delivery! Thats Witchcraft!!

PHEW!

*Quickly moves the macbook pro off the combo*
AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

*reads thread*

*places back on amp*

You may find that it doesn't quite use the floor in th same way it used to and lose some bass. If that happens, make a giant 'skateboard' with a plank and 4 castors and just whack the cab on that when you transport it! Works a treat.... except on outdoor gigs where you have to take the cab along 100m of grass to get to the stage

Jus' to let you know theres a for sale forum just a tad bit down the page.... Just a thought. mayyy help your sale... just a a
tad

Anyway, I love these amps. I've got a similar one.... and love it!

Ampeg ftw! ahha, well, I'd say try out everything in the shop, then go to another shop and try everything there. Can't really go wrong, then. Oh and take whatever essential effects you will be using. An overdrive sounds completely different on a peavy (peewee) to an ashdown.

oooh, I'm worried by this thread now! Ah well, it's my first (proper) amp (4x10" combo 300w EVO III), and I just love ampeg (from the sounds I've heard @ gigs) - shame NO ONE near me supplies them!! argh!!

Well, as far as my clean tone, I usually just change it by pickup selector or tone knob on my bass. When I start going into effects and gis, I pay special attention to the 'Bass' control on my amp I also use my EHX micro synth, and I'd love to hook up by bass into MIDI!

+1 - I've noticed this whilest using my homemade 'Moot' Pedal and my 'lo.Op Selecter'. tey both have slightly different height jacks, and with the maplins connector, it just kinda feels as though something should be breaking when I step on it.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='521906' date='Jun 23 2009, 04:43 PM']How come you don't put your E thru-body? Never really thought of mixing and matching like this before.[/quote]
Cos last time I did that it snapped Also, I think that when I EQ my amp properly, I get more than enough sustain on the bottom E, and I don't really need anymore by thru-bodying it.

Well, I didn't think about mixing and matching until I snapped a bottom E, and then snapped a top g when replacing my strings, and then realising that I prefer some makes of strings for some string positions.

Well, I thought I'd show escholl that I AM using his 16-track, and whack up a recording with the band and post a link here.

Mainly, I'm posting this for technical advice on recording - from a home recording studio's point of view. I know it's not all mixed perfectly (guitars a bit too loud and drums too quiet? - last section of guitar solo too quiet). Also, because of the lack of a REAL drum kit, we had to scrounge and use the drummer's £2000 electric drum kit! xD I did my best (and panned it!). haha, yeah, we didn't know how to fill that little section near the end so we had a few random facts that we felt needed to be said.

haha, yeah. Same here!

Cor! This looks like it's gonna be an awesome studio! And I live round the corner from ICC studios in eastbourne! Makes it look like a shed

wow. Nice setup! I love ampeg...

I've just finished some home recording - can't wait to get ina studio some time. Probably not going to happen. Saving up for a macbook pro, then by the time that happens I'll probably be @ uni, then another 5 years of debts, then maybe start a proper life... :/

Pretty cool, though! When you going to have some MP3s out?

EDIT

I swear you're meant to have the mics at least a metre away from the cab. Well, that recording magazine aboutrecording bass sucks butt!
