dolphin music showing this for over £1,900... jeez!

these look fantastic, apart from the price as stated... £1,500 - to be honest, why don't you get a 1970's bassman 135 and a good overdrive/boost pedal, for a third of the price.... love my bassman 135, but interested to try one of these, curious about the second channel - always surprised that more amps for bass don't have 2 channels!!!

[/quote] yeah, i saw that - that pedalboard thread on the TC facebook page was like a magnet for w***ers!! some of the comments were ridiculous, especially the guy who said you'd wasted your money, and that he was awesome as he had 5 pedals and 'used them ALL'.... slow hand claps all around

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1327407295' post='1510604'] on the whole I find it strange that there's a huge big section of the forum dedicated to bass FX. For now, I'm still quite happy to plug straight in... [/quote] quite simply, there is a large section on the forum dedicated to FX simply because there are large numbers of bass players who use effects, and are interested in them (in addition to a post or two every week from somebody saying 'my fingers are the only FX i need' or 'why do you need FX') some bassists don't use effects, or dislike them, and that's fine for them. I personally don't use FX for any reason other than i like the options of being able to boost my volume, or add some o/d or fuzz to my signal. a lot of people have pedalboards with just a tuner, a compressor (in some cases) and boost or dirt pedals. none of those will make the bass sound out of synch with the rest of the band. other people have vast pedalboards, containing every type of effect you can imagine - and it's safe to say most of them aren't playing in a beatles tribute act, or a generic indie band. but why should you be limited to just bass and amp, just because you play an instrument that traditionally existed in the background to support the rhythm. some bands don't have bass players at all, other have 2 bassists and no guitarist. why limit yourself by what other people have done - if it sounds good, go with it...

just read this - anyone interested in this - I'm Bristol not Cardiff i know several Bristol basschatters that'd probably be up for this too!!

grand - i've only heard good things about him/IE - and the nimbus sounds great...

cool, think i'll end up doing the same..

so now that xmas is out of the way, i'm getting sorely tempted to get an IE numbus. has anybody ordered an IE pedal from the UK, have you purchased directly from IE or from a US pedal shop - any recommendations?? cheers

sunny day delay!!

+1 to everything said in the last post. i really wanted to like analog delays, owned a few but they're too dark on bass for me. I have a subdecay echobox (which still sounds nice and warm), plus a DD-3 for more sterile, punchy repeats.

[quote name='Mace' timestamp='1324588151' post='1476098'] Have been meaning to do this for ages, here goes... Left to right - Line 6 X3 Live, Soundblox Bass Envelope Filter with a Diago power supply above it, Akai Deep Impact, a piece of paper with some presets written on, Soundblock Multiwave Bass Distortion, Xotic X-Blender, EHX Bass Big Muff PI. The right band board is linked to the Line 6 via it's effects loop, with the volume pedal as a blend from dry to wet It does me! Merry Christmas! [/quote] happy xmas matey - i'll really have to pop round and sneak a go on your deep impact some time, love to know what all the fuss is about!! nice boards!
