xgsjx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Cheers. I'm still trying to work out how I can make something similar to a whammy bar but rather than being connected to the bridge, connected to another pot. Don't know if it is possible though.

xgsjx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's fitting it that would be the tricky bit. The pot would probably be sideways in the body & have a spindle on it. The "arm" would then need some sort of pinion with a spring & a cord to go round the spindle (working in a similar way to an expression pedal). I was thinking of getting hold of a guitar controller off the "rock band" game to see how it works & if I could make something similar. Whether I actually ever do that is another thing all together!

woodyratm Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Guys - Could use some assistance - Since I've streamlined my fx now I have an insane amount of free space on my board (hence why it's now for sale!) Any sugestions on a pedalboard which would accomidate the below? Boss TU 2 Boss OC2 Iron Ether Oxide Source Audio Multiwave Distortion Source Audio BEF Iron Ether Xenograph Moog EP2 Behringer Bass EQ Being powered with a Diago Powerstation. Would like something small and easy to carry. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think with the Moog and SA Distortion, you'd be looking at a PT-2 maybe? Try [url="http://www.pedalboardplanner.com/"]http://www.pedalboardplanner.com/[/url]. Its not all that accurate but it can get you in the right ball park.

EskimoBassist Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Might fit on a Diago Showman? Definitely a PT-2, perhaps even a PT-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thats what I was thinking. Tempted to go for a cheaper board now. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] This implies the Showman is smaller than the PT2... but it's actually bigger... So if it'll fit on a PT2 then it will definitely fit on the Showman!

EskimoBassist Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 To be honest I had no idea how big a Showman is (other than being larger than a Gigman and smaller than a Tourman) having only owned a Tourman. Second hand though, a PT-2 with a hardcase seems around the same price as a new Showman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooks79 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah it is nice for droney stuff, or just filling out a sound under a bassline. think I'm gonna flog it though cos you can do similar with the hold setting on the DD-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly set mine droning a chord or double-stop up the dusty end and then when the guitarist dives into a solo just bring it back in without stopping the bass part. The trick is finding one chord or note that will fit with everything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't charged anything for duty/tax etc. which surprised me as Parcel Force delivered it and they usually stamp a stupid handling fee on even if they fee without is £1.

EskimoBassist Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's the 20% VAT that I've been stung with before that hurts the most. With shipping I'm looking at adding another £40+ onto the cost. Call me a cheapskate but I guess I've just gotten into the habit of buying secondhand on here and waiting for something I like to come up.
