Cool, ta. I guessed right then

At the moment my signal chain is simply: [i]Bass --> Trace Elliot dual compressor --> Boss volume pedal (tuner in sidechain) --> Amp[/i] although at some point the Deep Impact will probably work its way in (for the octaver settings if nothing else). I'm guessing it'd be best placed before the compressor to keep the playing dynamics..?

Sorry, I can't have been concentrating. Where did he say 'fact'?

Yup, it appears to be stuck on GMT+2.

Just so long as it's friendly & cool & informative & bassy & stuff.

Make that 20-year-old Labella flats.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='836' date='May 17 2007, 10:27 PM']Thought long and hard about the colour but in the end decided it had to be black with chrome, standard Spitfire build (GB Pups, GB Active, Schaller 200 Bridge and Hipshot Ultralights). Its made from swamp ash so is nice and light. I did consider a Status Retro in black but I wanted an in-between neck and Status only did P or J. One extra was some rather fetching blue LED's as playing fretless on a blacked out stage can be a bitch.[/quote]After seeing thumbo's stealth Jazz, I reckon you should definitely go the black hardware route with your lovely fretless GB. It already looks good, but with black bits it'd be the bomb.

And they are..? C'mon, spill the beans! PS when you see the original, it'll blow your mind.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='2625' date='May 20 2007, 01:42 AM']This is the only custom bass I've ever had made. It ended up being a bit of a mess at the end of the day.[/quote]Well I liked it. This is my custom Shuker J5... body is burl maple on English white ash in satin 'baccy sunburst, neck is maple/wenge/flamed maple with birdseye maple fingerboard & orange side LEDs, pickups are EMG-40TWs with 'coil taps' & Jon Shuker's superb 3-band EQ.

When I get round to it, my rack will be a 4U one containing EA iAmp350 head, Trantec S3.5 wireless receiver and Yamaha FX500 multi-FX unit. The remaining 1U space will hopefully get filled with one of these [url="http://www.audioagencyeurope.com/funk_logic.html"]Funk Logic[/url] puppies... at last, a 'Vintagerator' control that goes from 'Ugh' to '1001001'..!

[quote name='dr.funk' post='2256' date='May 19 2007, 03:50 PM']I use a Pearl Octaver which sounds fantastic, quite a dirty almost synthy tone. Mind you they are quite expensive on ebay (no longer in production) I am borrowing mine of my bass teacher.[/quote]+1 for the old Pearl 8ve pedal... I have one and the sound is superb, it knocks seven shades of sheeite out of the Boss IMO. It has an 'octave up' feature too, which to be honest is pretty crap, but the usual octaves down are tremendous. They are fetching absurd amounts on fleaBay at the moment. Glad you're still liking the EH pedal Nick!

Status, Shuker, Trantec wireless, Euphonic Audio iAmp350 head, Nemesis 2x10 and 1x15 cabs, Trace Elliot compressor, Boss volume pedal, Korg tuner. Fairly soon the EA head will be going into a 4U case along with a newer Trantec receiver and an old Yamaha FX500 ½-rack FX unit.

Confucious say, one bass is too many and 1000 are not enough...

This was me at a recent gig: Status, Shuker, Trantec wireless, Euphonic Audio iAmp350 head, Nemesis 2x10 and 1x15 cabs, Trace Elliot compressor, Boss volume pedal, Korg tuner. Fairly soon the EA head will be going into a 4U case along with my other Trantec receiver and Yamaha 1/2 rack FX unit.
