    Saved me a trip to Sheffield...

    Can you comment on the neck profile? Is it like the earlier, thinner necks or the more chunky D shape? String spacing still 16.5mm?
  4. WinterMute
    I played a 5 string Thumb for 20 years, just got another one, luckily I love the sound they make. I get on fairly well with MM SR5's and I had Alan at ACG build me a 17mm spaced Krell fretless which is a beauty. I'd love a Pedulla Pentabuzz or a Mark 3 Wal, but the spacing just doesn't work.
  5. WinterMute
    Yes you can, works with anything that has the EUCON protocol, it doesn't;t work as well as Protools however, some of the really useful mixing functions are absent.
  6. WinterMute
    Unfortunately Protools soft-synths aren't anywhere near as good as Logic/Abelton, but then its a different beast. We've taken to using Logic as a writing platform so as to preserve continuity between the various set ups, then In throw it all into PT once the demo is done, re-record everything and add or subtract for the arrangement and then mix. I have a few 3rd party synths in PT to expand on the Logic parts, SSD5 for Drummer replacement parts etc. but often I simply bounce the audio from the Logic session files. Logic/Abelton are perfectly capable platforms without a ruck of 3rd party soft-synths. I prefer PT as a tracking/mixing environment as I have an Avid S3 desk, but I think Logic is much better for writing/programming.

    I remove all the UAD2 plug-ins not in my library and put them in an folder marked "unused plug-ins" saves you scrolling through a list of plug-ins you don't have access to. Only needs doing every time they release an update... 🤣

    Depending on what you're planning to house in it, you may want vents to the top and bottom too, you may want to leave a 1/2 rack space between the units too, some people leave a full rack space with a vented blank panel for valve or class A kit between the units. Have a look at the cases of the units you want to put in the rack, if they have vents to the top and bottom of the case and/or fans to the rear, you'll need some way for the air to get to the interior of the units. I have a 2U rack for the bass amp/management for my studio monitors, I had to cut vents to the top to stop it overheating.

    Such great basses, but I can't get on with 19mm either, GLWS.

    I had an 87 NT 5 string, with the single piece bridge, played it for 20 years and sold it on when I thought I'd quit playing. I recently replaced it with a wenge/bubinga NT 5 string with MEC pups. Neither one suffered from neck dive, both sounded immense. Best fretted 5 string on the planet IMO.
  12. WinterMute
    Used sparingly it can be very effective, I mainly use in on fretless in very sparse arrangements that feature quite a lot of reverb on other instruments, and I make sure to apply a HPF to the reverb itself to ensure the bottom end doesn't get bloated and unfocussed, set at about 150Hz if I remember rightly.

    I was at the last Fish gig at Hammy Odeon, wasn't a big fan, but was playing in a band with ex Sounds journo Phil Bell who helped break them early on. Great gig, and I do appreciate early Marillion more than the later stuff, but they're a properly good band.

    Can't recommend QSC K12.2 speakers highly enough, with or without a sub, been using a single one for my 5 string rig for a while now and it's flawless with the Quad Cortex, sounds great for monitoring too. The QSC subs are pricy mind, but I can echo what others have said about a single sub in smaller venues. TBF, the K12.2 has some proper kick in the LF anyway. Not a big cab or a heavy lift if you're using poles and is stable on its end or as a wedge monitor.

    I looked very closely at Luna, I have it installed and keep it up to date, but the lack of EUCON control for the S series consoles means I always end up in Protools, I write in Logic occasionally, but even that doesn't implement the extended control protocols. Luna is very good.
  16. WinterMute
    I have a twin and a X16 Gen2, I generally only use an LA2A on inputs for bass, I have an RND Shelford channel with a Quad Cortex driven by the link channel from the DI input, output of both go to the X16. I often use the 1073 plug-in on mix down with either the LA2A or the Distressor. Occasionally I'll use the Eden WT800 or the GK800RB on the DI channel for tone. Before I got the QC, I used the standard SVT3 plug-in, but the version in the QC is better. I use the 1073 and LA2A on mics for vocals, guitars and the like, but leave any serious tone shaping for the mix.
