Anyone interested in an effects meetup / jam session in London?

[dannybuoy]

I wonder if any of you bass FX nuts would be interested in hauling your pedal boards along to some rehearsal space in London where everyone can try out each other's pedals?

If interested, reply to this thread and list what you'd bring and what you'd be interested in taking for a test drive! If enough people respond maybe we can sort something out...

- Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass
- EBS Multicomp
- Digitech Bass Synth Wah
- Humphrey Badder Monkey
- DHA VT2 Dual Custom Bass
- Zoom B2
- Aphex Xciter
- Danelectro French Toast


In particular I'd like to test drive an Ashdown J-Lo pedal...

Too far for me but a great idea as one could get a more accurate idea of what these effects sound like rather than trying to make a judgment from someone else's description. I have recently bought a J-Lo pedal having heard good things about them here on Basschat. I liked the idea that the effect is only applied to the mid frequencies leaving the bass and treble frequencies alone. It's a good pedal and you can get some useful tones from it. Only slight gripes are the fact that it's not easy to change settings on the fly and I would have preferred separate level control knobs for effect and clean signal levels rather than a blend control but you can't moan when you consider what they cost. At £59 each and with true bypass you could easily afford to have two or three with different settings on each. Now if they produced a pedal that worked in the same fashion but had three memory patches...

Great idea.

If you do have a get together over there, you should try to set up to record the sessions.

Maybe a little video action too, ‘Basschat the lost sessions’.

That way the rest of us from around the world could live it vicariously via Youtube and clips.

I like the idea a lot but it might be quite far for some maybe a bit far for me.

If we were to do this i could offer quite a few things for people to try.

On a side note people should bring their boards to the notts bash.

Sounds like a brilliant idea, if only I had more than an ODB-3 to offer. It could be worth dropping a line to the bass gallery, I'd be suprised if they didn't want a whole load of people trying out their stuff.

Oh yeah, and I can bring the spector in my photo

One in bristol would be good, I've got bunch of effects I don't use for someone to try and buy from me, and I can big up stereo wiring basses.

[Kev]

Did you just this second change your profile from bristol/widness to plain Bristol? Anyway, I'd be up for it, the only people to turn up to the last plan was someone I knew and someone who I was going to meet anyway.

Hahaha, lucky us! +1 on the Bristol bass bash - there are plenty of basschatters in the south west and south Wales

[Motocross_nick]

I think the answer to the OP's question is "Yes, but with bass guitars as well and in Bristol!"

[Basszilla]

I'd possibly be down with that, being as it's just over the bridge.

[Kev]

[dannybuoy]

I'm always up for an effects jam if anyone is in the Manchester area

[cheddatom]

I rent a large room on an industrial estate in the stoke area - 1 hr from brum or manchester. We could dwell there on a sunday and play as loud as we want! I can supply around 35 different pedals and 1 average rig. If a few people are up for it, this might be fun! There's also a drum kit and guitar amp+cab so we could jam on whatever instruments we like. Oh, and I have a recording set up there so we can tape some samples/jams.

This isn't a firm offer - I always say things like this and then never find the time - but if people are really up for it and keep me reminded it could happen!

[tayste_2000]

Well I've got my own practice room so whenever anyone wants to meet up. just outside Manchester in Stockport

So same applies

[dannybuoy]

I feel so... used. This thread has been raped repeatedly by people from Bristol, Manchester and Stoke...
