Røde iXY -£55 posted U.K. Shure Motive MV88 £100 posted U.K. I have a couple of iPhone/iPad compatible condenser mic’s for sale. One of the band has bought some fancy schmancy hand held recorder thing so we’re gonna be going with that for future recordings so I’m happy to let one or both of these go. These vastly improve the audio quality of your i device and can really help for recording rehearsals. With the Shure MV88 you can angle the mic for enhancing video recording audio quality too. The free Shure Motive app really brings out all the features of the MV88 and doubles as a recording tool/library. You can select polar patterns, eq, compression, mic gain and there are presets for different recording scenarios. The Røde is another fantastic condenser and I have used both together for recording guitars and vocals. While there are some Røde apps I’ve been using the MOTIV app for everything but they’ll work with any recording app such as “Voice Memo” and other popular video recording apps. These are especially handy if you have an old phone or iPad kicking about which isn’t getting much use. I kept mine in the gig bag and always had it handy for nabbing some quality recordings especially for new songs etc. Prices include postage on the U.K. -
Ashdown ABM Mini 2 x 10. £50. WITHDRWAN - *WITHDRAWN*

I could see my fender rumble sitting on top of this! -
I used to use one of these in conjunction with an aguilar db924 great wee pedal which can give that instant slap sound or add just the right poke/push and cut through with a dirt pedal in a mix

Could be a while yet but there’s some practice room audio coming my way early next week!

Another spin on the merry go round! Trying to go for an 80’s sound/synth sound to cover some keyboard sounding parts now our keys player has left. Standards include octave chorus and dirt all patched into my trusty old Basswitch IQ DI. The compressor and VMT are in an always on loop whereas the chorus and Basswitch OD are in a switchable loop with 50/50 blend. The Basswitch OD pedal has been a great addition as the tone control actually plays about with the mid frequency and shifts the eq curve from a scooped sound to a more mid forward sound down in the lower mids. Really helps with the octave sound to push it forward. I kinda use it like the mid switch function on the MXR BOD and feel it’s doing a great job! Also as the OD is the same style pedal as the IQDI I can easily switch the loop on or off while activating or deactivating the drive too which is handy! Oh and I have a cheeky wee Thumpinator hiding underneath the board as you do!

Currently using an octave, chorus and dirt but at rehearsal last night I had an iPad running a Moog Model D app and some sounds from GarageBand played via a USB keyboard. Hope to get some audio to hear what things sounded like over the weekend. I’d prefer to stick to playing bass but the iPad was handy for some pads and intro stuff.

Jukebox taking a back seat or you dividing up gigs between both? Our keyboard player has just left the 80’s thing so tonight’s rehearsal is the guitarist and me ‘synthing’ things up. Some live footage from us soon I hope!

I’ve a BB424x I may be selling I mean it doesn’t tick any of those boxes you’ve listed... Just saying 😀

I use the hyper luminal too and the additional tweaking you can do via the Darkglass suite means you can tailor the low end with the HPF the set and forget and then have some very high quality compression available plus you can dial these tweaks in for each of the three compression types so you have three on the fly options all the time. Means you can simply and easily try them out with a simple tap. There’s other great compressors out there too but the DG is a really well thought out unit. Good luck

There’s an Aguilar DB599 for £99 and a spectracomp for less on the for sale ad’s right now which are both decent options. The 599 maybe a little more intuitive as a play and play pedal. You’ll find most folk on bc take a pint on pedals here knowing they can reload and take a chance on an unknown purchase as they can easily flip it. For many of us it’s one of the best features - access to used gear which is decent quality and good resale opportunities. And the banter of course.

Look forward to some audio.
-
DG Hyper Luminal is a great pedal too but you’ll get numerous recommendations and be down the rabbit hole for ages 😀

My recent experience with the C4 is if you need a synth sound on a song but don’t need to be flipping between presets during the song a C4 would be fine preloaded with your 6 preferred sounds. Simply have it ready to go and then flick to your preferred sound before each song. It’s not ideal for on the fly changes without investing in midi kit.

Really good sounding unit. It’s got a great rawness about it and some cracking fuzz tones. -

I have the 800Pro head and it’s a monster. Loads of headroom and very versatile eq. -

*Sold* HX Stomp - £325 shipped UK **Now Sold** Basswitch Enhanced Overdrive £150 shipped U.K. I’ve been doing some rig re-jigging of late and have settled on a pretty solid pedal board after much enjoyable A/B’ing and demoing of gear across multiple bands and set ups. Basswitch Enhanced Overdrive As a long time Basswitch IQ DI user I had to get this when I had the opportunity. If you like the sonic spark this pedal starts there and can go nice and heavy. The tone knob works on the mids and isn’t a traditional ‘tone’ - it affects the mids either scooping or filling them out across the range of its sweep - think the ‘Era’ knob on a Darkglass VMT or contour style control and you’ll have a better understand of what it does - doing the Ampeg thing right up to very pleasing, heavy drive. It’s a superb sounding pedal but I’ve gone with the DG AO small enclosure as it really fit the 80’s synth based thing better for my ear and the guitarists sounds. The Basswitch Enhanced OD did a stellar job of filling the mids (and sounded great with the pub band) getting that big, dirty 7 Nation Army tone.

She’s some yoke! -
Definitely Houses of Parliament worthy for sure!

The sounds out of the Big Al speak for themselves. It’s a very good sounding P bass, good thick neck sound series and parallel MM sounds. And that’s just in passive mode. If you’re a player who appreciates a bit of on stage aesthetics as well as a well made and playable instrument the Big Al would fit that bill. I think MM should be applauded whether you like the style of the thing or not for actually doing it.
