Finbar Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 To be honest, I've no idea. I haven't been involved in booking any of these shows! I'm hoping there'll be someone local playing with us. Surprising how many promoters don't realise that putting an out of town band on with no local bands is a bad idea. Or that putting a non-local band on first or last is usually a bad idea. Such is the way of the world though! If its a small place, we won't need a PA for the instruments anyway We can pump out volume I prefer small places to massive places though. Is there a stage? I like playing on the floor D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Just got back from a practice. It was totally worth doing all that to my board. Combined with a slight shuffle round with my amp, my bass sound has never been so epic ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I love it when you can finally play a completed pedalboard. Ive been waiting for adaptors, power supplies, and all other bits and bobs recently while my pedals just sat there. Ive enetually connected mine up now, and i can definitely feel the creativity coming back!...others may refer to it as noise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Finbar - get your booking man to check out about the Norfolk. The landlord said he might be stopping gigs at the end of October.

Finbar Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yup, actually checked that out yesterday - it's been canceled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 downer. Try for a gig at The Underground in stoke, or at The Rigger in newcastle-under-lyme. If they ask you to organise support my band can bring plenty of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got there just after some 16 year old kids from down south. 5 minutes later the landlord calls up to say "cancel the gig, I need the PA at my other pub". So we went to get our own PA and sorted out the sound. It was OK, but you'd think after all that effort the other bands would have stayed around to watch us. cnuts. Anyway, we played to about 20 people and trashed the "stage" (floor) at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I don't have a board yet (gonna order it next week), but these are my effects. I'm GASsing for a Big Muff. I'm gonna buy one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Time for the finished shots. I have been though a silly amount of pedals to fill the last space until I found something that fit with my sound, and settled on a Pro Co Turbo Rat for some filthy distortion and feedback. The Bass Blogger stays on 'Drive' mode for my fat punchy sound. Run the Blogger and the Rat together on risk of serious injury! :-)... So here it is... And before people ask... a night shot (yes the Blue LED really is THAT bright!)... All mounted on a Pedal Train 2, patched with George L's and powered by a Diago Powerstation (both EHX pedals have a GigRig Virtual Battery so it all runs of daisy chain). Signal chain is you care... (Bass) --> TU-2 --> Bypass Loop --> Turbo Rat --> Bass Blogger --> BF-2B --> CEB-3 --> DiscumBOBulator --> Bass Microsynth --> DD-3 --> Back to the Bypass Loop --> (Amp) Edited September 22, 2009 by pantherairsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey1-8 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah, that's really nice. I like seeing boards neat and tidy, makes all the difference. A pedal Train 2 is next on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cut just to size, to avoid any excess cable, and also to hold the daisy chain cable against the bottom of the board :-) [quote name='cheddatom' post='605703' date='Sep 22 2009, 03:49 PM']Nice board! Needs moar dirt though.[/quote] Explain dirt...? I would consider 'dirt' to be overdrives etc... I have an overdrive, a really really heavy distortion and a synth with squarewave/bit cruncher style distortions on it as well, so id say I have more than enough!... or do you mean something else? I'm a bit more into tone than fuzz though to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly everyone needs 50+ possible dirty tones on their pedalboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to gig using around 15 different distortion sounds regularly. That was using EQ pedals to shape/drive the dirt pedals as well though.

nash Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 i can't wait to get my pedalboard all built up again. looking at a proco rat, line 6 M9 and some kind of synth pedal. plus in time a moog taurus for progz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The Pro Co stuff has mixed reports for how well they work on the bass. The Turbo Rat is particularly good at attracting negative reports. I figured if its good enough for Justin Chancellor, its good enough for me. After giving it some serious hammer, I think its great!

Doddy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I forgot to mention that I also have a Roland V-Bass system,with the pick up on my Ibanez BTB 6 string. And I just picked up a Bass Pod XT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
