+1 to the cliff reference ^ my main crush was the Fender p. Iwasn't worried about anything except that Steve Harris played one. I now have a USA P and a MIJ P Lyte, but i now gas for the sig model.

or you could put a flag in it

i would put the octave first after the tuner, then filter, bbm, and then phaser. That i think is by the by. are you using batteries or an adaptor? i would first just connect the tuner in line, then assuming all is well add the octave, then assuming that is fine add the others until an issue occurs and you'll find where the problem is occurring. Do all the pedals work individually with your rig?

mistakes will happen, but thankfully they don't seem to happen too often. it doesn't seem to affect my bookings though, so i must be doing something right! what i might class as a mistake might very well go unnoticed by others. I find i am always my own worst critic.

probably a good idea to add the pedals in one by one then, and therefore identifying which one(s) are causing the problem. are you putting in the chain in the order above? ie : dt10 > BBM > OM > filter > phaser > amp ?

I teach rock school too. perhaps this lot might help. 60% of the marks are allocated for the prepared pieces. as mentioned above they are fairly straight forward, with no real surprises. be aware that good credit is given for soloing in a relevant manner appropriate to the style of the song. this means not sticking a "slap yo' mama" solo on a mellow piece etc... use dynamics to create movement, tension and just be musical! what you should always remember is that you can never overprepare. you'll need to be fluent in your playing of the set elements of technique, and be able to explain yourself in a clear and concise mannerin order to show understanding of the technical aspects.

it is probably worth putting the pedals back in one at a time to identify whether it is only one of the pedals or anything else. does your bass have a hot output?

thanks for that alien, i came to the same conclusion today. mind you i'm still going to toy with the idea of a stomper to switch it on cheers for all of the useful advice chaps

i thought it was reasonably well made, but was a little surprised it only made it to about '82/3. Where's the rest? Lemmy is really starting to look quite old now though - i never thought that would happen!!

just trying to work out why they both felt the need to use twin-necked instruments

there is someone on here that has / does own one. Dosyanarchy (sp!) i think

i use one of these on my belt - no problems changing basses now!!! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_wireless_holder.htm?sid=1a77f0484822777c3195a087be3a12c5"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_wireless_...195a087be3a12c5[/url]

there's nothing like being prepared - he must have been a boy scout!

perhaps an eq might be worth a try. the boss eq is quite easily found on the dreaded bay quite reasonably priced, if it doesn't do what you're after you should be able to recover your outlay. i hear the barber linden eq is great. perhaps someone with more experience of one might be able to help out here!

just finished watching the dvd. that show would have been great. The tech alone would have made it worthwhile IMO. absolutely loved the bass sound on earth song - anyone any ideas what he used on the bass there? great octave sound! Orianthi is a major hottie though, her outfit/ hair in the black or white segments......... ooh! glad she doesn't talk for living!

it could be a good move. you really must try before you buy though. I really love my big rig (Marshall DBS with MB / Jubilee cabs), but it's a really useful standby for a recording or hired rig situation, it can really add something cool to your sound 'pallette'. Where are you based?

elites used to use a black winding, don't know if they still do though

i have two of these cabs. never had any problems at all.

[quote name='JackLondon' post='761655' date='Mar 2 2010, 11:23 AM']It looks fairly simple to acomplish, you can however expand on this project and put in a sound sensor as well which would react to the music being played, sort of a effect of flashing disco lights.[/quote] this is pretty much what i'm after. how would i supply the signal to the unit without losing my signal totally? i know i' said i'm thinking of a 'side chain' but how could i build that?

i was hoping you guys could help with stuff like that

this is it: i was going to change the jack plug for a 1/4" socket, and run it from what i would describe as a side chain. any ideas?

for my main gigging band, i normally have two drives, wah and chorus. one drive the boss md2 (atm) for big thick audioslave type chunk, the ibanez weeping demon for swells, screams, and other similar noises, and another drive ( I'm going through a bit of a transition with that at the mo - nothing seems to get the 'right' sound i'm looking for), and chorus for duff esque lines. my church board will vary from week to week, as i put a board together according to the setlist. Normally i'll have something like the bad monkey, a BBM, wah, chorus, filter (micro q tron currently), sometimes the syb 5 with exp pedal, a di/ pre - either the hartke vxl or MXR M80, sometimes a delay will creep in for those floydy ambient type things. an octave has been known before, but that too is under review atm (perhaps a BOD on the horizon!) most of these have appeared after reading here or bassworld previous to that, and harmony central / talkbass. Bear in mind i also used to work in MI retail, so plenty came via that route!

hi guys, i want to build a sound to light unit that i can plug into. i've found a drawing which i think should work. It uses a 12v circuit, but i want to power it using a 9v battery. is this going to be a problem? as far as i see it i'm going to need a box to allow me to take a feed from the main signal, but without losing the main line, in order to make it work is this going to be a simple - ish job? sorry for so many questions!

the key word here is bash!

once he's set his drums up, make sure you have a good old bash around his kit and see how he likes it! preferably whilst he's stood there too
