All Activity

In my last band the singer used to introduce me as "the long-haired, soap-dodging, sandal-wearing friend of Jesus on the bass", and despite none of it actually being true it always got a laugh.

It's been a while since I posted a Joe Dart transcription. This one was released about 4 months ago. Fearless Flyers - Autobahn

Ah ha! That makes sense. I sometimes see boards that have 5-6 'effects' + a Stomp and the effects are invariably available in the Stomp, which I find strange but each to their own. I bought into the Stomp idea as a means to do ALL of my tone shaping, effects, active crossover, IEM routing et al and so far it does 90% of it but little add on's like the Broughton and DiMarco pre, do lift the overall output in terms of richness of tone.

With the Bonnevilles at the Wagon Load of Lime last night - a bit tight for space with the bikes around us (that's a T140V Bonneville behind the guitarist and the front wheel of a pre-unit 650 Triton poking out in front of me). A bit more visible in this shot. Tablet is for the set list and brief notes on a couple of the songs. The all-important glasses. Should be getting more bookings next year, and some for my other band too (if we can negotiate a better fee). Same rig and footwear as last night. More relaxed as I don't do the PA. No pale ales in the pub. Sharp's Doom Bar and Sea Fury only, so resorted to Madri.

Fair comment.

Fair question. It's because the Stomp moves on/off the pedal board depending on the gig and I always like to use the Thumpinator at the start of my signal chain, regardless of what comes after. 👍

I'm always (genuinely) interested why folk add certain pedals to something like a Stomp, when that effect is likely replicated within the Stomp. Your Thumpinator in particular @cetera is effectively a HPF of which there are many in various stages of the Stomp... why the external Thumpinator? I should add that I've presently got a Broughton Resonant Filter Equalizer on my pedalboard instead of using the Stomp HPF/LPF, as the Broughton gives a bump at the filter point which is easier to tweak and sounds more musical than going into the Stomp and adding a para EQ to a HP/LP filter. Actually I'm also guilty of using an external GK800RB preamp pedal which I use instead of the Stomps GK block (which is actually a great simulation)! LOL

I have a 5 string version of the first one you linked to, but that project is as yet unfinished so I don't know if it's any good. But, to @Richard R and @Huge Hands question about turning the wheels under tension; each wheel has a hex socket so can theoretically be turned with the mini hex it comes with. I'll be interested myself to see how the theory holds up in practice. I also have a 4 string OVERLORD OF MUSIC one from a now-disassembled bass I made. It was much improved by the addition of thrust bearings, but the end of the tuners are now a good 90mm from the rough scale line.

It sounds great and I don’t mind a bit of doom! I thought the snare on BraveStarrr wasn’t the best and preferred the snare sound in the other 2 songs. Can’t remember exactly but felt like it had a tambourine ( or something in that frequency ) layered under it. The other snares just sounded more convincing. ✌️ Great work

Thank you for the advice @itu 🙏

They may go down to 60Hz but the power will drop. Some speakers quote -3dB some even as low as -6dB for their low end figure. Personally, I cross over at between 80Hz and 100Hz depending on the system.
