no need, if it has any dings or issues you can just continue travelling back in time until they didn't happen yet. Don't go too far though or the bass will disappear.

He has other items available even further back in history too. At least you'd get another Christmas!

No worries. Incidentally the QF2 seems active-friendly and is capable of a lot more variation - especially if you have an expression pedal...

Perhaps the novelty is wearing off for some.

Edit : if you're playing through an Ampeg already, that's probably a really stupid suggestion! What about the Xotic Bass BB?

IE QF2 (Disclaimer : I'm selling mine) is a bit of a midrange king, as you can focus and stucture your mids with the 4 band EQ and then sweep those with the expression pedal as you play. For a simpler thing, have you tried an SFT?

What!?...Have you been adjusting that "Bass" knob at all!? I find that if I turn that past noon I'm in danger of caving the roof in!...Definitely find it can add more lows than my clean signal, have you been using the old or new version? The phase inversion will only be a problem if you run this in parallel, and the SFT does NOT need to be run in parellel!
[/quote] IME because the bass boost is pre-gain, the sound turns into a farty mess if you turn the bass knob up too far.... no solid, well defined lows. I've used an original one and a latest one with the third colour scheme - not sure when v1 changed to v2 and what the difference is? sft is one of my favourites, no question, but always found it best for more middy sounds, and as a guitar OD. Always interesting how different people's experiences are!

There are no good od/distortions, they're all rubbish.

Catalinbread SFT sounds beautifully expressive in a vintagey way but is a bit bass-light and inverts phase.
Darkglass B3k has a lovely natural 'edgy' sound at low gain but needs to be driven very gently to stay in 'bit of hair' territory. Also rather expensive, and can sound a little bit cartoony in high gain territory.
BB preamp basically sounds good and has a nice EQ. also has the same problem about needing to be driven very gently, and it sounds a tiny bit boring.
Rusty box sounds awesome but has a non-standard PSU and no separate post gain for the boost channel. Oh and it is hissy.
Wren and Cuff phat phuk sounds like pure gold... but only at one specific gain setting.

Those are the good ones - all the rest are even worse. And don't get me started on fuzzes....

I've just tried it after a boss LS-2 to emulate an active bass... and although it 'behaves' it doesn't sound so good, a lot of the fun in the top end is flattened out. To be honest I've never had much joy with active basses into proper fuzzes, or putting fuzz in a blend or after other pedals - there seems to be something in the raw coupling of the pickups and the fuzz that is where the magic happens IME.

Hi, anyone know where I can find a good demo of the DBA soundwave breakdown for bass? Can only find one on you tube and it's not very good, everything else seems to be demoed on guitar.
Cheers
[/quote]It's a very high gain thing and it adds more mids and treble than it does bass. The timbre is really interesting though, so put through an EQ it's capable of some stand-out bass tones. It likes to be first in line and I imagine it would scream with rage if it came face-to-face with an active bass!. Let me know if it still sounds interesting to you and I might be able to do a quick clip.

Edit : the thing that marks out the SWBD is that though it sounds off the hook, it's actually pretty 'under control'. (at least when first in the chain, and used with a passive instrument). So it gives you crazy fuzz tones without going off and doing crazy things on its own.

Sale now on!

Wonder if the seller will experience a flood that destroys the item before the buyer can collect it, then relist an identical item a week later. That's what happened to me when I won an auction for a mixer recently. Sorely tempted to drive to Brighton and see the "destroyed" mixer alongside the other one that had the same distinctive scratch on thee fascia.
[/quote] I had that too. "Item has been damaged in transit and is no longer saleable", said the seller. The item in question was a hammer... he hasn't relisted it yet but I'm watching him!

As Xmas sales season rolls around I'll probably knock a couple of quid off here and there, so get your offers in first if you like...

It's afternoon already, time you started! And time I was out of my jim-jams! Happy xmas all

Just bought a new roof after the storms? Buy one of these with the change!

Aha. This is why I'm always turned off gumtree ads that don't have a map location!

No idea on the price but looks very cool. Go and check if she's a player!

Thanks. And you're right, it's not the best time of year to be angling for cash!

To do what you describe, everyone in your band will need to be set up for stereo recording.
To do multitrack recording live, you'll need either a soundcard with multiple inputs for your computer or a dedicated multi-track recorder. I prefer the first approach BUT you can get a lot of random odd problems when recording on a computer that can be very difficult to iron out, so I'd buy a soundcard second hand that I can sell again if it's not working out!
What's your laptop spec ?

SoS: Vocals are out of time in places. It's a talky vocal, but you still have to really hit the beats while maintaining the relaxed feel. The guitar seems a bit ahead of the beat too in places.... both of which make it feel a bit nervous. Agree about the backing vocals being out of tune too. I also agree that it's far from terrible!

You can smash one and still carry on with the other one..?

"Allowing water to pass through" is underrated.... Don't knock it 'til you've been unable to do it!

I'm not using the RSS feed. I'm actually just reading the ebay page from a typical search URL, extracting links for items, fetching the listings, and then extracting the title from the listing. (The second step is done that way as in the future I might extract other information). Using the RSS feed would probably have been an easier way to do it.
[/quote]

That's probably more flexible as the rss feed only has a little bit of info in it - I've just recently been experimenting with just grabbing the rss feeds (you just append '&_rss=1' to the end of the search URL) and looking at them together in an rss reader.
