  1. Too many years with awful sound and I found a solution which works for me with the gear I had. You (quickly) learn to use what you have to make it work… which was the original point in the first post 😝
  2. My board is designed for live with iem and/or direct to my amp, foh or both. There’s really two signal chains happening. The entire chain runs through the LBA 2020s transformer’s underneath the board after the Beta. So as you see it bass goes in: Tuner>Beta>Compressor>Simone> From Simone I have the DI out going to the Element to FOH so the house sound isn’t really that dirty but the wee bit of grit is tamed with the CabIR. From the 1/4 out on Simone it goes through the rest… Simone1/4”>Enhanced OD>Fuzz>Thumpinator>Element>amp This way I get filth through the amp on stage but foh remains civilised. It seems to work.
  3. It was great to have JC and his tech talk through the rig. Those ones are the best.
  4. It’s not an attack at effects. It’s more a case of saying it’s nice to take stock and explore what we have and sometimes it’s nice to strip back. I’ve already qualified that I’m not anti effects and the pedal board should support that.
  5. *Note* I’ve had a few questions. The bass does not come with the TBird pick up. This picture is simply to show it can accommodate other sized pick ups. I’ll check the weight tonight after work but from memory it’s not over 4kg. Trades I’m only really after a JMJ mustang with some cash from me or I have a pedal or two as trade fodder.
  6. Well it’s a result of just having a solid board which has all I need. I look at the effects forums and for sale stuff but boring old me is actually really happy with the board and instead of wanting stuff I think I should buy I’m enjoying having exactly what I need. If the mods wish to remove the post/thread feel free to do so and slap my wrists. I use a pretty decent sized board (there’s two Lightening Boy Audio 2020s transformers underneath along with a Thumpinator too which you can’t see in the picture) so I’m not against effects nor am I trolling.
  7. Selling a really nice and resonant P bass. The body is a Jon Shuker p bass body fashioned from some nice Alder in a wonderful natural finish. The neck is the “famed” Japanese PB70US-70, impeccably finished and nicer than the Nate Medel fender which has the same spec carve/shape. I’ve owned a fair few P basses and this late 70’s (B carve I think) is my favourite sitting between a P and J with a 40mm nut. The body’s neck joint was tailored for this specific neck so it’s a comfy fit made by one of the U.K.’s best! A Jon Shuker p bass starts at about £1800 and while this isn’t a full Shuker the quality is there to see. A few years back I had a pro luthier route the bass and shield it so I could put in any pick up of my choosing and it’s currently got a Ki0g0n solderless loom with a David Allen 1080P pick up which really sounds great in this bass in a reverse p configuration. A couple of pics to get you stated and I’ll add more later. Shipping is an option but I’d really rather meet. @Walshy has a man with a van who we could use but that would be up for discussion as a 50/50 cost split. I think I have a couple of scratch plates for this two in reverse p and regular p.
  8. I might be tempted to list my p bass for sale and see what happens😀 Do you know anyone after a great p bass?
  9. Here mine sitting on top of the amp in the spare room after running through some tunes
  10. I was a big detractor of the DG sound but really enjoyed the AO
  11. Is that the Camden EC1? How is it?
  12. Check the Amos Heller demo on you tube. He gets great tones and shows off the versatility of the unit.
  13. I put a led strip under mine too! It’s usb powered from the fender power brick. Classy!
  14. For me it’s the Simone preamp. If I didn’t have Simone this would be staying put.
  15. Basswitch is a really clean pre and two bands of semi para mids two fx loops, a boost, two inputs for two bass or you can A/B the preamp on/off transformer in the DI and just a wonderful clean sound. The lows are set low but it’s never muddy or undefined. I’ve had one for about 10yrs and wouldn’t sell it even though it’s not on my board just now it’s a keeper for me! I think there was one for sale on the forum quite recently.
  16. We scope and trawl and hunt and scavenge yet when we take stock on the gig and listen… our needs are 98% met. Buy less enjoy more. If it’s not working turn it off and enjoy not using it. If it works enjoy it for what it does. If it’s not quite right make the call and step on or don’t step on. be the antithesis of a forum.
  17. My mate has a 5 string passive USA model which he pipped me at the post on in a local gumtree sale. I keep wanting to offer to buy it off him as it was only £650
  18. You should try a Jule Simone. Very impressive sound and feature set!
  19. That’s why I like it. You can dial it in to be massive
  20. The duality is such a great fuzz. Could it be described as a sleeper pedal from DG? I love the range of the unit and am very happy with mine.
  21. Bump see above post for features and updates
