I don't use it on poly mode either, the accuracy is crap.

[/quote] For me Powerslave just edges it. That tour was probably the best time I saw them though (saw them on the tour before and the tour after too).

I can't wait for the album! Hoping he plays more than one date in London, but I'm not holding my breath...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1354396091' post='1885615'] Yep. Add in black/black/maple, and that`s the top 3. [/quote] Sparkly Blue/chrome/maple... and that's the top 4

One reason I'd be inclined to use the site's uploader is that where I work images hosting websites are blocked. But images hosted on this website aren't. So I guess other people maybe have similar issues at work. It's rather annoying not being able to see images, especially in the marketplace.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1354210351' post='1883700'] I have to say that I found the decor and furnishings a bit surprising, but of course he might like a bit of chintz to counterpoint all the denim, leather and black T shirts of touring. [/quote] You mean all the lycra! When ever yuo get to see the insides of houses belonging to big metal stars they're nearly always horribly decorated.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1353858207' post='1879026'] I thought I`d cured my bass gas, but that sounds soooooo nice! [/quote] It's not really possible is it? I've been very satified with my selection of basses, thought I was gas free. But recently I've realised I actually prefer the sound of Jazz basses to Precisions. My Warwick Corvette sounds very nice, but is WAY too heavy and now I've seen the 2012 American Standard Jazzes... (I also want a Lightwave 5 string fretless...)

Haven't played one but the charcoal frost and the jade ones, with maple baords, are very nice looking.

It's a bit embarrassing watching him clear out a band's rider to take home to feed his kids. Saw Soil a good few years back. Benji walked out of the dressing room with 4 carrier bags full of food.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1352537509' post='1864273'] Thanks for the link. Couldn't find anything about syncing up with other devices, so thats probably a good indication that it cant. Theres does seam to be a comb and a formant filter, but the formant seams to be modulated. [/quote] Having a poke around over the weekend you can't sync to other devices. But then, the B3 only costs £150 so I wouldn't expect it to be the be all and end all of mulit-FX units.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1352316826' post='1861612'] Ive been thinking about buying a B3, but i have a couple of questions: [/quote] [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/b3/manual/"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/b3/manual/[/url] Have a look at the manual. Probably the best way to answer all your questions.

I did search but came up with no results. If a thread exists can a mod merge this?

Ben has always sounded like he's using 40 year old strings and a mattress in front of his cabs. It's got sod all to do with his choice of bass though.

I'd love to see them again. Last time I saw them was the Super Unkown tour.

Jeez, you guys heard of Google? [url="http://www.ollapp.com/app/clockwork-metronome-click-track/android"]http://www.ollapp.com/app/clockwork-metronome-click-track/android[/url]

Friday we played our first gig in a long time. We were opening for [url="http://blitzkid.com/biography/"][b]Blitzkid [/b][/url]in a pokey venue in Newport, S. Wales. We're told to get there 6pm sharp as there's a tight curfew. So we arrive at 6pm and then hang around with nothing happening until 7pm. The middle band haven't turned up yet so the sound guy asks us to set up and sound check. The stage is only about 6' deep with bit sticking out for the vocalist. The main band have already got their backline on stage, 2' away from the back wall. I set up my little rig, Ashdown abm mini 4x8" and an abm 1x15" & an Ashdown JJ500, as far back and to the side as I can get it. I end up with 18" between the front of the cabs and the edge of the stage... after I've moved the mic stand to the floor infront of the stage. I plug in my Zoom B3, select the usual patch, turn the volume of the bass up... Feedback. I turn the amp down from 1/3 to 1/4... Feedback... After sound check they tell us we're on at 8:15 pm. 10 mins later the sound guy tells us we're on at 8:45pm. So we pop down the road to a pub for a decent pint. We get back at 8:35, start getting set up to play. Set goes well, then at 9:00pm the sound guy tells us we have time for one more. As I was packing down I noticed that taped to the side of the PA were the stage times, this wasn't there during sound check, they'd moved our set to 8:30pm and not bothered telling us. Instead they cut the set short...

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1351719316' post='1854710'] The Boss ME-50B has the slow gear effect mentioned by bartelby [/quote] I think the Zoom B3 has one too. I've not tried it though...

The manual has no mention of input gain, nor did I see anything last night when I was messing around with my B3. The only thing I could think you've seen would be to assign the Exp pedal to input level.

Why not have a small, switchable, attenuator pedal made?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1351687679' post='1854136'] I played a gig on Saturday with my B3 again. Just brilliant. What makes me chuckle is that even if you were to just leave the pedal on your three favourite pedal effects and never change them, you *still* have three great sounding effects in one box that is cheaper than those three pedals available separately. Mostly for the weekend's gig I used a chorus, the great tracking Octaver and either a bit of Big Muff dirt and that was enough along with my 'preamp' set up. I think for the money, everyone should have one as a 'swiss army knife' of effects. [/quote] I've got a couple of gigs coming up and I'm leaving my pedalboard at home and just taking my Zoom B3. It occured to me last week I hadn't stepped on the other pedals for weeks. My idea for buying the B3 was to see if other types of FX would be of any use in my band. If they were I'd buy a dedicated pedal. But I seem to have gone in the opposite direction!

Boss, I think, did the Slow Gear a long time ago. You could have another go at building one: [url="http://buildyourownclone.com/lazysprocket.html"]http://buildyourownclone.com/lazysprocket.html[/url]

Did the pedal arrive?

Shame you're so far away I have a pair of Atacama Nexus 6 speaker stands you could have. They're a bit too heavy to ship.
