Hi, yeah that’s the order that they have spent all there time together in, a good few years. I recently rebuilt the board to accommodate the the addition of the Compressore and decided to try them in this order for a change to see how that works out. I think my logic was, new band, keep the VT set/always on then uses the B3 for boost/extra etc. Ive had the VT longer and tbh never really 100% got on with it that well. Usually keep the speaker sim off

Looking to replace the VT-Bass (#5 in picture) thinking along the lines of possibly the Darkglass Alpha/Omega not to sure what one though, not tried any of them personally. All suggestions welcome. Quite possibly change for the sake of change as the set up I have sounds pretty good but you know how it goes 😜 cheers. Dan

The screws are countersink so not really possible to use the chain link method unfortunately. I’m totally out of ideas. Apart from making some kind of bracket, bit like the bracket for the power supply, voodoo lab/ pedaltrain etc but thanks for the suggestion

Hi. Yes I’m very happy with the Shure it does the job seamlessly. Dead easy to use. Initial set up to pair the two units together. Set the gain level and that’s it. The battery in the body pack lasts for ages (battery light displayed on receiver) charges off a micro usb cant fault it apart from the receiver being a awkward shape when it comes to needing a bit more than Velcro to hold it down and Shure not making brackets for it it’s brilliant

Have messaged Shure asking about a mounting bracket. They don’t do one. Cable ties and Velcro it is

Boss. ODB-3 Have a look on eBay you will find one £20ish second hand

Hi and hello. I brought one of these a few years back now and am super happy with it. It sits on my pedal board held down with Velcro and cable ties. I’ve recently just revamped my board (cut cables to size, made power leads that now all run from one connection from board etc) in short. Does anyone know of a better way of attaching it to said board? A specific mounting bracket would be ideal but can not find one on line ? Let me know please cheers Dan

Another vote for the MXR Phase 90 its the one i always come back to

Just a random thought but who here uses the effect loop on there amp and if so what do you put through it. I put all mine (in my chosen order, another topic) through the front but is there any advantage to say putting an octave pedal in the loop ? Obviously compression and drives need to go through the front but anything else ? I know guitarists generally use the loop for delays, reverbs etc but what about bass ? Thanks in advance!

I use the Markbass Octaver. Brought it new a few years back. Apparently they are discontinued now ? Brilliant octave pedal. Tracks nice all the way to G, F# on a good day. Does a great job

Bit boring but sticking to what I know. Just ordered a new Compressore. Find something you like why change it for the sake of changing it 😜 cheers

Ok thanks will look them both up. Its for gig use so that was my ?!?! Regarding the tube in the MB but will definitely look into both suggestions

Hi all. As the title says I’m looking for recommendations regarding a new compressor. At the min the compressor I own and uses is the Markbass Compressore (old style version). It’s permanently set up next to my Genz Benz Shuttle (600). Plug bass straight into that set up and it sounds great, I don’t want to move it so either I need a second one to put on my board for when using other effects and different amp head or something new completely?!???? the only reason I’m tempted just to buy a second one is as we all know compression and compressor are a whole subject to themselves and having spent a long while with my Markbass I know my way around it (just missed one on eBay an all) plus they do sound pretty good!!! But be in mind it’s just for live work so maybe having tubes on your board is not the best idea (partly why I moved it to permanently next to amp head in the first place) your sugestions are all welcome (Just please not super complicated stuff, something along the lines of what I already have) cheers and thanks Dan

Thank you TKenrick. That’s the conclusion that I’m coming to. The material is to fast so I’m tripping over myself all the time trying to keep up it’s just hard readjusting my ears to it is thd biggest part of the problem but will give it another go

I’m after some advice. I’m a Four string player. Rock player. I’m used to bog standard EADG 440. I use that tuning on my jazz bass that I use while playing with my function band. And used the same tuning on both stingrays with my rock originals band. Tuning the second stingray BEAD 440 to cover everything else. So after 30 odd years of playing my ear and fingers are very much used to that set up. Even dropping to Eb causes mental complications. So having left the rock band the new band I’m getting to know play in drop C permently so I’m transcribing everything to BEAD and quite possibly causing myself a lot of unnecessary work. any advice or tips on what to do ? Logicly it’s possibly forget what I already know and relearn everything in dropC but that’s easier said than done. I love a challenge but this is proving quite difficult to be honest. All and any advice is more than welcome thanks in advance

You can never have too many StingRay’s ? very nice pair indeed

The Almighty - Wild and Wonderful If anybody got a tab for this would help me along thanks Dan

Back on it, anybody got any clues for this one ?

[quote name='danny-79' timestamp='1436972081' post='2822469'] I got a set with a new BGM subscription, 105-45 Stainless Steels. I generally prefer a 50&70 on the D&G and nickel is what I use. I have in the past used coated strings of various brands an not found them to be worth the extra price. I love a new set of strings so stick to one brand and one gauge (Ernie Balls, Regular Slinkys) soon as the zing is gone put a new set on so this should be an interesting test. There going to go on a StingRay (the slightly tamer one of the two) at the same time as a new set of my usual on the other one,(there both due a change) and will rotate them in use as I always do and report back They should/will be going on today 15-07-15 [/quote] Getting quite worried now, there still on and going strong ! 11 gigs + rehearsals and home practice 50hrs easily, im used to putting a new set on about every 4x weeks and don't normally gig a set more than 3x times usually because they need changing or potential break risk. Do steels of any kind last quite a long time ? not had much dealings with them until now and complete convert now Regardless of how long they are lasting, they sound amazing win win

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1445627302' post='2893014'] Sorry - can't find it...... [/quote] No problem, thanks for looking [quote name='Valhalalf' timestamp='1445631428' post='2893062'] Agreed! Great song, great album, great band. Yeah there both great albums, there all I have been playing all week Still need the tab though ? anybody else ? Really liked Zakk's follow up album Book of Shadows. [/quote]

Thanks if you could it would be a huge help, thanks!

I had totally forgotten about Pride & Glory until last night at rehearsals when the reoccurring subject of a cover came up. I had totally forgotten about this one and very happy to pull the cd off the shelf and play it again ! so Horse Called War is next just having a hard time finding a bass tab for it (few guitar ones kicking about for a start) so if anybody knows of one could you please direct it my way, I want to nail this one ! Thanks in advance Dan
