    Hi folks, Offering up my Digitech Hardwire DL-8 Delay/Looper to see if I can raise the cash for 6stringbassist's Lexicon. The pedal is ungigged and has had light home use only- I bought it specifically for the looping function and have only played with the delays briefly. It has a whole variety of different modes including some cool reverse and modulated delays, 20 seconds of looping, stereo ins and outs, and it will run happily in front of an amp or in the effects loop. It can also be switched between being true bypass for all you tone-freaks or buffered, in which case the delay will trail off when you disengage the pedal. Full specs can be found [url="http://www.digitech.com/products/Hardwire/HW_DelayLooper.php"]on the DigiTech website[/url]. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. Comes with the original box and accessories, posted to your door for £85. Collection from Glasgow G51 welcome, or a central Glasgow meetup, in which case I'll knock a bit off. Trades, I've really got my eye on the Lexicon but would consider other cool multi-effects rackmounts- could possibly add some cash for the right thing. So, Lexicon MPX-1, Boss Vf-1, that kind of thing. Possibly a MIDI foot controller. Maybe an eBow. Try me. You can see my BC feedback [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21130&hl=velvetkevorkian"]here[/url]. I do reserve the right to withdraw this at any time! Cheers Kyle

    Indeed. Do want. Open for any trades?

    The Pod line is designed so that you should be able to plug it directly into a PA without using an onstage amp; how effective that will be for you will depend on the monitoring that's available from the PA- I think most people would say that wouldn't be enough for them. I've gone direct and relied on stage monitors in the past, and it was fine, but YMMV. Maybe better getting a small combo to use as onstage monitoring just in case?

    This thread delivers!

    The Overwater strings have black silks (when I bought them last year anyway).

    If you want to keep the strings, cut off the ball end from an old set (that stay on your bass) and run the new string through the old ball end. I had to do this so I could use a guitar string on my 7 and it works surprisingly well. Although now I think about it, a bigger string might not fit... YMMV.

    He's fallen on hard times lately.

    Or brand an inverted cross into your forehead like Glen Benton of Deicide...

    My Realist has shuffled off this mortal coil so at the moment, nothing.

    I think I'll pass. More info on the DSP1000 [url="http://www.behringer.de/EN/Products/DSP1000P.aspx"]here[/url] for anyone looking for specs etc.

    [quote name='Kev' post='631760' date='Oct 20 2009, 08:26 PM']depends if its my profession or not. If my partner asked me to stop now, i would, but i would probably resesnt her for it. Have to question her motives if she realises how much it means to you though.[/quote] What he said. Hypothetically speaking, of course...

    Can you tell us what model the Behringer effects unit is?

    [quote name='Beedster' post='631614' date='Oct 20 2009, 06:20 PM']I tried to play 'fretless lines' for months with no luck. Then I took my fretless to a rehearsal and simply played my usual fretted lines albeit with frets. That's how I learned fretless technique and intonation. Haven't looked back (or used frets) since. Good luck Chris[/quote] +1

    How used are the used ones?
  15. velvetkevorkian
    What finish is this in?
  16. velvetkevorkian
    Ooh tempting... Do you have the rest of the lineup in place?
  17. velvetkevorkian
    Meshuggah really do it for me.

    The consensus seems to be that they're not really worth using in the UK as the grid here is relatively stable. Seems to be more of a necessity elsewhere, like the US for example where the voltage coming in can vary more. As ever, YMMV.

    I saw Edgar Meyer play with the Scottish Ensemble (I think) about a year ago- truly remarkable playing. He does things on DB I didn't think were possible.

    [quote name='Faithless' post='628601' date='Oct 17 2009, 11:40 AM']I've got almost all the sheets with chords and stuff, and, here's the interesting thing.. As you may know, a lotta gospel music comes 'from' such keys like Eb, and other keys that have even 6 flats (Gb/F#).. So, as I know, gospel bassists solve this problem by detuning the bass half-step. But the problem is, that there are few tunes, where A part goes in 'ordinary' [b]Gb[/b], but the B Part goes from [b]C[/b], you know what I'm sayin'? So, if tune my bass to Eb, in a few tunes I'll face such 'strange' chords, like C#, E# and such.. I'm not saying, that I'm not familiar with them, but, it may feel a bit 'unpleasant'.. What do you, guys, do with 'gospel bass' tuning? [/quote] I wouldn't detune if I can avoid it. Having to transpose it all an extra half step is going to cause more trouble than playing it as its written, IMO. Its an extra complication that will just get in the way of what you're playing.

    I looked at a piece by Brian Ferneyhough at uni that was in 4/12.
  22. velvetkevorkian
    Yeah, that was my face after I listened to the clip

    [quote name='umph' post='627498' date='Oct 16 2009, 12:33 AM']got a clip up of a feedback looper up on my site if you wanna hear what one does with a distortion in it.[/quote]

    From Pentode's link- that's freakin' awesome.

    Shred-tastic. I thought that was amazing.
