[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1439063138' post='2839769'] Sounds like just what I'm after. Been playing with the POG, CEB-3 and Flashback to get some really spacey ambient sounds. I like the idea of having the Organizer on the board as well. It's on my list to audition next after I get the Eterna, will have to wait for Santa maybe hehe (I've seen the Organizer on Amazon for less than £150) [/quote] I'll make a point of bringing it to Bass Bash Si

I really like the BB Pre, but it was always a little bit lacking in the mids for me. Si

That's what we like, 'newbies' getting involved Si

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1438948518' post='2838879'] Oh goodness, my bank balance won't cope with an Eterna [i]and[/i] an Organizer having said that, I have Ocatve up/down courtesy of the POG so it may suffice to have just the reverb Happy days [/quote] Yeah you'll get some great sounds from the POG and the Eterna, however I would encourage you to save for an Organizer. The Organizer sounds a bit weird when you reduce the lag and use it like a standard octave up, the POG is much better for that. The the Oragnizer comes into its own when you introduce the +2 octave and increase the lag, dreamy with the Eterna Si

Based on your initial brief, I'd definitely take another look at the Fuzzrocious Cat Tail (new name for the Rat Tail due to trademarks etc) Si

After I finish the below listed Corybantic gig....I'll be zooming over to Brixton Jamm to play with JoCee at midnight, supporting Craig Charles and his funk DJ'ing thing: http://www.brixtonjamm.org/event.php?event_id=795 Si

So after booking what we though was our first show on 11th September, we've been asked to play a last minute show supporting COPPER & BIGGS. The Mathy Rock / Avant Garde Jazz instrumental goodness starts at 7pm, 93 Feet East: [url="http://www.93feeteast.co.uk/cgi-bin/web/whatson.pl?date=2015-08-07"]http://www.93feeteas...date=2015-08-07[/url] Si

I think they look fantastic, although they're having a laugh with the price. Si

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1438891230' post='2838515'] Cool BTW how does the Eterna stack up against the ED Organizer as I've heard both but I'm unsure if they do the same sort of thing? [/quote] They don't do the same thing, although the shimmer reverb essentially sounds like the tails are pitched up. The Eterna is reverb and the Organizer is a -/+ pitch pedal with changeable lag (so the processed sound can trail your initial note a bit). They are actually my favourite combo of pedals ever, they sound so good together for sound-scapy goodness. Si

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1438769404' post='2837003'] [color=#3F3F3F][font=Oxygen, sans-serif]So you're being asked to agree to contracts whose terms you haven't seen... surely that would never stand up in court? [/font][/color] [/quote] Quite common with some recording deals, often referred to as deal memos. They'll outline the very basics, and essentially state 'we the undersigned agree to sign the contract in full'.......which of course could then include some not very nice clauses. Si

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1438865233' post='2838180'] Awesome, Si Saw the Gold reviewed on YT by Rob Chapman for Andertons and was blown away by the control-ability of the reverb section and the Octave-up 'shimmer'. Just hope my bank balance can cope with another pedal purchase at the end of the month! I've already spent a bit on pedals in the last few weeks (TC Flashback Delay, Micro POG and a Voodoo Labs pedal power pack, plus Pedal Train goodies) Anyhoo, hope to catch up at the SE Bash next month if you're going [/quote] I should be there yes, look forward to catching up Si

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1438861713' post='2838122'] ^^^ Like a lot. How are you finding the Eterna reverb? I'm GAS'ing for the Eterna Gold, but I've only found one UK stockist (Andertons). [/quote] Absolutely love the Eterna, I won it in the Circuits To Cure Cancer auctions a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Not tried the Gold, but understand that it's just even more extreme . Si

It has been pointed out to me that you can (quite obviously) mute the Markbass 801s speaker when just wanting to use the headphone out. This means that I officially have no issues with the 801, it's bloody brilliant Si

None of your pedals are particularly thirsty, nor hardcore digital pedals, so I don't think isolated outputs would be overly necessary. I'm a big advocate of the Gigrig system, great products and solid powering solutions. Si

If you're ok with a soldering iron, get a Wooly Mammoth or Muff kit from FuzzDog, probably £30-£35 tops Si

So this is the board for my new project Corybantic. Being a three-piece instrumental band, I get a fair amount of sonic freedom.....within reason. The DL-4 is just used for looping & the Dark Driving is always on: [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/34ql4b7.jpg[/IMG] Si

The Flashback is my fave Warwick design, I've often considered one (if I could find one), but never quite pulled the trigger I think they're cooler than the current CV range. Si

What pedals do you use? Si

Yeah, have had bands which uploaded stuff and got played. Even got asked to do a live session on 3 Counties as a result of that I think. Most recently played on BBC Introducing Guernsey with the new project as the guitarist (based in London) is from Guernsey. Si

Just go and try a Fodera at Bass Gear?!?!? Si

I consistently move between a 19mm 4 string Precision and a 17.5mm 5 string Fodera, and that seems like an easy move to me. I don't think I'd make too much fuss over string spacing, I accept an old Precision as 19mm, and my 5 as 17.5mm, that makes them the instrument that they are, why I play them I've also had 19mm 5 strings and have an 18mm 5 string too, everything has been comfortable after a little while. My only excretion to that was an ACG 5 I had, set to 16mm and that was toooo thin for me, was adjustable probably to 17mm or so, but sold before I changed it. The Scott Devine Overwater Jazz 4 string is 16.5mm and that just looks weird, bet it's fast though! So, I wouldn't get caught up in string spacing (no pun intended), try a bunch of basses, buy the one that is most comfortable. Si

I know Andy and a lovelier man there is not . Colin's bass work is fantastic, but I believe XTC were one of those bands where it's not necessarily that player on that instrument . Follow Andy on Twitter, he often does 'Corrector' tweets which basically run through popular misconceptions about the band Si
