xgsjx Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Mine's probably the shortest rig list thus far. Band rig: Bass: Ibanez SR1000e Pedals: Korg Pitchblack Poly, PSK SDS3 & Boss CE-2 Rig: Radiovox Valve amp > EBS CL410 Church rig: Ibanez SR1000e Pedals: Korg Pitchblack Poly Rig: Apple earbuds. To think, a couple of years back that list was much different. Edited February 26, 2017 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitsa Jazz basses (Fretted is drop tuned D, G, C, F with Rotosound RS55s, Fretless is tuned to concert with Roto 66 Swingbass) Pedals - Tuner, Aphex Compressor, OC2 (clone), Earthquaker Devices Tentacle (clone), B3K (clone) Coloursound Bass Fuzz (clone), Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk (clone), EHX Small Stone (clone), EHX Small Clone (clone). Yeah, I make a LOT of pedals! Amp - Amp SVP PRO preamp into Laney SP300 power amp Cab - Barefaced Gen 1 Compact.

blue Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) To much gear to mention. However, right now I'm bar gigging with my Line 6 wireless relay, G&L ASAT bass, GK 1000rb , head through a GK RBX 2 10 cab. The high end pre-amp boost in the ASAT will cut through anything. Dedicated Pedals, I'm using a little reverb, chorus and phase. Blue Edited February 27, 2017 by blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 [sharedmedia=core:attachments:239255] Wal it Yammy FX7700 used as pre-amp and tuner, into ch.1 of DBX compressor, into 1990 Marshall Jubilee amp. FX loop goes into Bass Whammy, Darkglass tube distortion, 3 Leaf envelope follower and back into ch.2 of compressor. and then amp. Amp outputs into Markbass 2x10 and Precision Devices 15" in ancient Yamaha cab. Sounds pretty big and perhaps a touch weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Le Cragg Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Fender Jazz MIM 2006 into TU2 into Boss OD2 into Carlsboro Marlin X150 with 150 watt slave power amp into Kustom 2x15 cab Simple yet weighs a ton.

Floyd Pepper Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 My live (electric) setup looks something like this... Bass Centre 'Blockhead' Bass (strung with Elite Player strings) and a NS Design NXT4 Into a Boss LS-2 and a Boss TU-2 Into a Fender Rumble 500 2x10 Combo with a 2x10 extension cab And just for good measure, here's a quick pic (NXT4 and pedals out of shot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightsun Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) mmmm k, here yea go: Basses: Fender flea Jazz or Fender Precision Hotrod depending on the mood (ikle clip on tuner for quick ref tuning) Leads: Inherited over many years (aaahhem) Effects: Zoom B3 (where the sound lives) - Set up with a good old fashioned big end tone Head: TC BH800 (BH250 as running spare) - I run this flat with Spectracomp/tubetone on TP1 and a subtle octaver on TP2 Cabs: RS210 & Rs212 If push comes to shove I can DI out of the B3 and still have my 'sound', whatever that may be that week.

ern500evo Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 My current rig: Musicman Bongo 4HS or Yamaha Attitude Ltd 2 Both strung with D'Addario pro steels Into a pedaltrain mini which houses: Korg Pitchblack tuner Ashdown James Lomenzo Hyperdrive EBS Billy Sheehan signature drive (purple) Arachnid Audio channel switching pedal Rig: GK MB Fusion 500 Barefaced Big Twin 2 I find the Bongo sounds better through the Ashdown pedal and the Yamaha better through the EBS. If it's a gig I'm likely to use both basses on, I set up the 2 channels of the Fusion as one for each bass. So if I switch basses, I just switch which drive pedal is on and switch amp channel. If I'm only likely to use the one bass I'll set the 2 channels up so that one is a boost channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROConnell Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Fender MiM Precision Bass Deluxe Special - strung with Rotosound Swing Bass 66 Backed up by a Squier VM Jazz Bass - same strings. Into a Boss ODB-3 > Boss TU-3> Ashdown Mag 300 EVO ii head into either an Ashdown 115 or a TC Electronic BC410. Not the most exciting, but it works and sounds good.

FuNkShUi Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think mine might be most simple so far... Warwick Streamer or AJR singlecut ---> Yamaha mixing desk Touch of compression and EQ'd to the room. I like the sound of my basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c60 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Very, very simple setup for me: Fender HotRod Precision from about 1999 or std. 96 Precision both with Rotosound Monel flats. Both left handed. OBBM cables Korg Pitchblack Tuner, Samsamp VT bass just for emergencies so I can play through the PA if necessary. Little Mark 3 Barefaced Gen 2 Compact.

casapete Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Great thread, enjoying reading them all. What has surprised me though is how many BC ers use pedals, especially overdrives to get their sound. I've always stuck to just a lead between bass and amp, only using my Sansamp set flat for DI purposes. Maybe I need to start investigating some stomp boxes.

ead Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 For me it's: 95% of the time - Bass (probably ACG) > Smooth Hound wireless > Radial ProDI passive box > PA (bass through stage monitors) 5% of the time - Bass (probably ACG) > Smooth Hound wireless > Genz Benz Streamliner > Barefaced Midget/Compact stack (both Gen 2) Sometimes with a mini pedal board containing Korg Pitchblack; Boss CEB-3 and ODB-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Mine's fairly straightforward, too (apart from the basses): Dunlop .88 picks Any two of four basses (two Shuker Horns, Dingwall ABZ4, Shukerbird), all have East U-Retros OBBM Cable Mesa Walkabout or Genzler Magellan OBBM Cable BF Super Twin Plus a 'just in case' Behringer BDI21 in the gigbag...oh, and a clip-on tuner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiophonic Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Mine (from last night's gig). Although the monitors were so loud that the amp was basically redundant. The sound guy ran the stage volume like we had a drum kit. Which we don't. [attachment=239293:IMG_0563.jpg] Basses: 1990 EB Musicman Stingray 2016 USA Fender Jazz Fretless Pedals: Too complicated and cramped and last night I paid the price. Boss ABY box. One input for each bass > Boss TU3 (about to be retired for space reasons and replaced with a PolyTune Clip) > Boss BCX1 Compressor > Boss LS2 Line Switcher - for one touch switching between distortion and either phase or delay and for balancing bass volume Pike Vulcan - Loop A MXR Phase 90 - Loop B TC Flashback Delay (Loop B here, although that was a bad move, see above. Now on the naughty step) Hartke LH500 2 x Hartke 210 XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 G&L asat, polytune, bass soul food, mxr octave, source audio manta, markbass tube 500, Aggie db112s. In tweed. Makes a big difference to how they sound. Oo, and suitable top notch cables, obbm speaker leads, planet waves and those solderless jobs on the board. They really do make a difference!
