doxasta Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi, I'm Doxasta from Suffolk. Play in a live psy/trance band! Have a couple of Basses, a hand made piano strung bass made by Kif Guitars in '75 and and a 4 year old Overwater Evolution 5 string. Very different, but both beautiful guitars. My set up is a bit strange, running an ashdown ABM through 2 x 15" cabs, then running a lexicon MPX1 from the effects out of the ashdown powering 2 active EV's stage left and right. All my effects are from the mpx1 via footswiches that select pre set programs/chains and a pedal for changing parameters. Use a lot of varied delays from short room to multiple ping pong, reverb, chourus, flange, filter sweep, etc. I love it, but am in the process of trying to get things smaller, lighter and better quality but with the same volume and size.

doxasta Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 [quote name='phsycoandy' post='616435' date='Oct 4 2009, 12:45 PM']Welcome fellow Suffolkite, whereabouts are you, and we need pics of kit![/quote] Hi, I've got a picture of my setup in rehersal. It's not brilliant, but I'll try and upload it. The Bass is my '75 piano strung, Kif handmade there is only one more like it. You can check it out on www.intisi.com/kif The Ashdown on top with the Lexicon MPX1 underneath (plus a motu 828 which is used as a digital mixer with presets sending signal to the Lexicon / DI to PA / Level control to the EV's / Firewire and or optical output for recording), Under that is a three way Yamaha 15" cabinet and under that a Marshall 15" on its side. The two active EV's running from the lexicon thru the 828 on either side. Well I've tried to add the photo using attachments, I hope it comes out ok.

Your setup/band sounds very interesting...where do you play?[/quote] Nearly all of our gigs are private parties / events from word of mouth, in tents and barns around suffolk and norfolk. We did play a couple of small clubs in Norwich last year but got banned! Too loud I think. We played the Eastern Haze festivals when they were running, and the last public gig we did was in the Chill Out tent of the Unity Tribe Rave a few weeks ago. Our guitarist left us a while ago and we have been looking for someone to get involved, but havn't quite found the right person, so haven't really been looking for gigs yet, but we play maybe couple of times a month on average, probably less now the summer is over.

I notice that you list your jazz bass as having Kent Armstrong pickups. My Kif bass has very early ('75 or earlier) dan/kent Armstrong pickups on it. www.intisi.com/kif to look.
