All Activity

I’ve had one of these for what seems like forever but removed it from my pedalboard years ago (can’t remember why), and had forgotten about it completely. For some reason I remembered its existence the other day and set out to find it, not thinking it would likely work any longer. Anyway, I plugged it in, and it works fine. It actually sounds stunningly great and I plan to get it back onto my pedalboard. Really evens out the B string response on my 5 string. Is anybody else still using one of these, and if so, do you find the output level drops dramatically when you bypass it? Mine does this, even if switching between active and passive input levels. As I type this I wonder if that’s why I eventually removed it actually. The thing is, I like how it sounds, but it does seem to scoop the tone a bit, so not sure I’d have it on all the time. Not sure the build quality was the best on these, so perhaps mine has a defect. It has got to be getting on for 20 years old.

Also slang for the lady garden. Not a word I'd choose to use myself.

Beautifully built, documented and demonstrated. As always. Cheers Brooksie.

Hi, I'm a physiotherapy student. I'm conducting a study for my thesis on physical disorders in bass players. If you play bass, can you fill out this short questionnaire? It only takes less than 5 minutes, thanks for your help. (The data collected will be treated anonymously and used exclusively for research purposes related to my thesis. No personal information will be shared with third parties, and you can stop filling out the form at any time.) https://forms.gle/KzhcWRyaNjf9oTsz5

Ah ok thanks… if anyone else can compare the behringer to the latent lemon or Malekko I’d love to hear opinions.

Everyone is connected via Basschat in one way or another 🤣

That's what I found: https://web.archive.org/web/20060504210453/https://bashkov2.narod.ru/giblin.htm I'm not quite sure whether it's authentic since there's hardly any other stuff on the Internet to compare with. I wonder if here's someone who knew him personally.

800km is insane. knowing my luck I’d have left my keys and have to drive back. Glad the bass is sorted. I alway love the feeling when your bass has been set up and playing well.

I must be naïve, as I've only ever known "growler" as slang for a pork pie.....

The contrast in these posts is getting quite serious! I'm in danger of retreating into BassChat Cats for some reassuring content!

What a bloody brilliant show, thanks again to @AndyTravis for the mega help and @LukeFRC for bringing some apple shaped sustenance. I can't promise to bring such high profile 'rock stars' to every show but Andy will always be there! Wonder who I can get to come to the London shindig in October 🤔 VJ from Kaisers is a super cool cat and top guy, bought a bass from me during covid times and sorted me out tickets and backstage beers to after shows too, and JMJ I've chatted too for years about weird and wonderful basses. and the stars aligned to get him to rock up to a Village Hall in the outskirts of Leeds! Weird how things work out. He's coming to the studio at the weekend too. Just back from a mega old valve amp collection to Wales. Well played everyone!

I can't help you I'm afraid, I only have the Behringer and some homemade clones.

This 100% There are very few physical guitar shops left. If you live near one, you're lucky. The alternative is just taking a punt and moving it on if it doesn't suit. As long as it hasn't cost a huge amount of money it's no great loss or disappointment. Cort make nice, budget guitars.

That band do get up to some strange antics. Looks like a fun band tho. Dave

Thats proper good. Definite 90's although rock feel to it. Are they gigging? What part of the country?

Before trying home remedies (some of which are great advice) check with the audiologist that fitted the moulds. It may have turned out a fraction too large and cause pressure.
