    To explain the top letter is the note and the one below the 5th often a tricky harmonic which can feedback. The numbers are the corresponding freq (approx) for each note. I started the b at low b on bass but you can see the pattern pretty easily if you need to dial out higher freqs for feedback.

    Yup it’s interesting and clearly shows I have too much time on my hands! Night shift can get boring!

    I have my little frequency chart with me in the gig bag which is very simple but handy in a pinch. It’s not compression related and may have a typo but it’s a general guide. I should have recommended compression ratios on the back for various instruments too now I think about it .

    This is why I suggest folk have a listen to some studio engineers and recording/advice on you tube...yeah it can be hit and miss but there are some great sources out there.Then via DAWor an fx processor if you have one play along to tunes with headphones and experiment with settings. To preface this my singer/guitarist in the pub band is a sound guy..claims to be anyway...we had a terrible feedback from a fiddle (an electric fiddle mind not an acoustic) on a gig and at the half time break I asked him about eq- he hadn’t a clue what he was doing...I asked him if he was using a compressor.....he hadn’t a clue. I mitigated the issue and vowed to learn a bit more about eq. I kinda knew about freqs and mids and a little bit of knowledge on compression and it got us by, found the offensive freq and dialed it out. Since then I’ve been picking up bits and pieces and now he has actually listened to me and allowed me to eq the drums and do a bit more in getting a nice mix for his in ears, using hpf on some channels etc. The only real way to figure this stuff out is to do it in some capacity and try it live when you can.

    Yup that’s my take on the Cali 76cb. The tonal color from the Cali is more that it enhances the presence of the overall sound with out adding an eq type color as it were. It has the effect of creating a ‘mixed’ feel to the bass within the band. You too can sound like a semi pro!

    Price minus the DJ Retro?

    Fantastic jazz bazz!

    So I went over and checked it out today..... I liked it. Nice neck feel which is similar to the Jack Cassidy if memory serves. Nice feel in the hand and not slim like a jazz. Pick ups were great - both on and/or neck only would be the sort of tones I'd gravitate towards. Nice tone played with a pic too, not something I normally do but it would rock out all night long if that was yer thing. I could see myself playing the Ivory one (maybe fashion a tort guard just because) and for the money a great bass for any level of player looking for something familiar but different - I know an oxymoron but you know what I mean...right?

    Might check it out tomorrow in Edinburgh - keen to hear the pick up's especially for that 'p position' tone. It's a solid looking wee bass!

    Still not found a pedal that works asa well as the Bass Soul Food for my current needs. The NM2 is a Dual Distortion Stereo effects device designed from the ground up with some very cool features. To my ear it excels with a pick and having two drive options is nice. It's not really fitting into my set up so it's up for grabs. Price includes U.K. recorded postage. There is a single Input jack socket and 2 x Output jack sockets - Output 1 & Output 2. Both of these outputs provide the same level of bass signal that is presented at the Input, plus their own individually adjustable mix of 2 separate, and very different distortion effects (one for each output), that can be added to the original dry bass signal for massive bass overdrive effects. By using the 1+2 switch both effects can be routed to Output 2 allowing the use of Distortion 1, Distortion 2 or both together into a single amplifier if desired. Output 2 has a 10dB boost For stereo use each output can be fed to separate amplifiers and the individually adjustable bass overdrive effects switched IN or OUT for Output 1, for Output 2 or both together. Because the same level of unaltered bass signal is always fed from input to the output and to this original dry signal is added the distortion effects, you will never lose the full dynamics and bottom end contained in your bass playing. This is a solid pedal that will happily handle life on the road! Power Requirement Internal 9v battery External supply 9v Stabilised DC adaptor. Centre pin negative. High Instrument Input Impedance 470k Ohms Signal level -10dBv to 0dBv Output Output Impedance Impedance 1k Ohms Signal level - same as input level Supply

    You got any audio? It looks like a crackin bass! Maybe needs to be worn a bit lower to really look rock n roll though. ?

    Wanting an AVRI p bass you say ? this guys is a solid bc’er. I This would be the only MM I’d go for!
  13. krispn
    I’m away to read my gear manuals and give a good once over to all the kit I own just to make sure some feature I want isn’t already a built in feature! ?

    This should be gone this week but a safety bump for good measure!

    Some albums I like: Rage Against The Machine - well the first couple just sound great. Locked in riffing, the bass sounds massive with a great clean/dirty blend and some mad filter tones. Prince - Musicology I really enjoyed this album nice bass tones which can go from finger style thick to slapped and funky in one track. Early Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. I found her vocal kept doing the same inflection thing on later releases but the early stuff grooves along nicely. By no means exhaustive but some albums I enjoy which will probably not get a mention
  16. krispn
    That should be quite involved ???

    @tredders is selling a PJ which is pretty much the same as the black/RW bass with the exception of the switch which would be a simple DIY job.
  18. krispn
    Looks like the new Duff Bass. Switch out the blend for a 3 way and you're all set for a G'N'R covers gig!
  19. krispn
    The FEA Labs has many massive sounds and highly tweakable. I have heard it sound all sorts of immense...in different ways to how you enjoyed it in this video.

    I can’t see him doing it as it’s a whole rethink etc. and if he’s already poo poo’d it. Four pedals is hardly a bulk order ?
  21. krispn
    Pending sale.....
  22. krispn
    I’ll ask??
  23. krispn
    He’s working on other pedals but still has some he’s taking pre orders on them I believe.

    We do two sets and repeat the formula of build up to three or four crackers at the end but have enough decent tunes to either keep folk dancing or singing along. Our fiddle player sings some tunes too so she does a couple in the first half to warm up then a wee mini set in the second half of three or four in a row. Breaks the second set up and gives the crowd a new focus and different feel to the gig. I'm confident you'll be already on the right track. When/where you next out in Edinburgh? Might pop along

    I'd the same thing happen been rehearsing since July but turns out the drummer was having difficulties with his marriage and announced three weeks ago at a rehearsal that he was off to Oztralia that coming Monday! He will return in three months (and in my mind he will then have to find a place to live, nowhere to rehearse along with three months of not playing etc.) and the guys have all been keen to re-group upon his return. I'm not waiting for three months (why should I his wife hasn't *zing*) to them spend another 3 months for him to get his chops back. He was the weakest link in the group and I've taken this as a blessing and bolted. The point is if he's having diff's in a relationship its either and sorry to seem so pejorative, he's a bit fly with the ladies and can't be trusted by his missus or she's been out playing about in his absence... ultimately any band related absences will keep the tensions in that relationship. I've seen it numerous times in bands since I was a teenager. *I do hope his partner doesn't have some awful cancer or else I'm gonna look right a right c-unit*
