    Valeton GP-5

    synthaside replied to Al Krow's topic in Effects

    So Gigged mine again Saturday night , Straight into PA using the GP-5 as my Amp and Cab sim , Setup was a cheap Yamaha Stage 300 PA ,supported by my Markbass cmd121P acting as a subwoofer out of the monitor send daisyed on to an 80's era powered peavy wedge for some foldback. Both guitarists were using sims ( one fancy and expensive the other cheap ) My only downside was that I couldn't easily tweak my EQ , my active 2 band couldn't cut any more out , if i'd had my phone connected i could have easily done so but i'd turned it off and shoved it in my gig bag to avoid that " Da da da " lesson is now airplane mode with bluetooth connected within reach. For anyone carrying a backup amp this device is a no brainer ... I have found that im struggling to find good quality combined Sim and Cab files even ones of tone3000 seem a bit " crap" compared to the out of the box option so im just using the fingerstyle or pick preset with my own tweaks , anyone got any that work well ?

    I have this ! This’ll do the job ! If plugging into mixer etc , there is the option of using effects or going direct by the touch of a button at the back.

    For bass: IE Nimbus has HPF and LPF for the effect, and they work really well. But it is quite hard to find and may cost a lot. Because the reasonable amount is small, any reverb is pretty good, but use it sparingly. That B is worth trying. For vocals: Start from t c helicon. If the mixer supports stereo, consider a stereo unit, or mono for the vocals only.

    Caline make a copy of the V1 BDDI as well. To my old ears I think the Caline is slightly less scooped. I still have both though!

    I could make a board look and feel very professional, but those continuous changes... and I have three of them in use: for lo-Z, hi-Z, and fretless bass. I am happy with compressors and... wait a minute...

    Having owned multiple tone shaping di`s over the years, I actually prefer the Behringer to the Sansamp. Cheap as chips and sounds good for what I want it to do.

    I re-listened to the SY1 a few weeks ago. Jeezo that’s a bad sounding pedal 😅 (IMO). Si

    When you get the bass, check the setup and do string set tests to find the right combination for you. If the bass feels good in your hands, the right strings can do miracles (playability & sound).

    Yes, would be good to hear it fingerstyle when you get back.

    It is through an Origin effects Cali 76 and a little Ampeg preamp too, I can get a dry sound in a week when I am back home.

    Sounds brilliant. Clear as a bell!

    Err not sure if this will work. This is played with a pick through my little GK combo and it is picking up a bit more mechanical noise than you would hear in real life. NBD SQUIRE SONIC CUSTOM.m4a

    And I feel the same about those ancient surf basses. Sure here we talk about taste: a friend of mine hates the shape of the headstock of my Vigier.

    Do you not think you could break even, cash-wise, or make a little on it? Labour excluded of course. It is a lovely thing just going by the photos. It certainly sounds like a zinger.

    So i'm looking to get a 5-string as there are some songs I am needing to play that go below E. I'd rather play the correct note than an octave above on my 4-string. The problem is with the demise of PMT there are no instrument shops in my city, with the exception of 1 that usually only has 2nd hand gear in and can be very hit and miss in terms of what basses they have at any one time. I have found a nice looking Cort C5 Deluxe on Reverb that is within my price range so was wondering what people's opinions on buying a bass sight unseen from the 'net? It seems to be from a music shop in another city so I'm a little bit more reassured than if it was a private seller. Alos, how does a Cort compare to a 4-string Squier Jazz or Precision in terms of neck feel (I have one of each)? Thanks

    Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf
