topo morto

Gary took my Boss CE2 pedal off my hands - All very friendly and straightforward. Many thanks!

Alex just relieved me of my Keeley Fuzz head... so easy I hardly noticed it really, I'll have to make sure I remember that I sold it! Thanks a lot.

Toadworks compressor sold and on its way.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1126823' date='Feb 14 2011, 11:17 AM']To the OP: how many parts of the note do you get when you play the strings gently when tuning?[/quote]

If you mean how many lights light up - well, that's probably quite stable if I play really gently. The pitch decrease is more noticable on the 'strobe' mode. Still, that part of the note's decay is probably not what is sounding in a song.

I may have given the impression in my original post that I was actually worrying about this! I'm not, of course, and I know that there are all sorts of other things that have a greater effect. I just thought that it's funny that "a man with a pocket tuner knows if he's in tune; a man with a decent stage tuner is never sure"...

[quote name='Gary Williams' post='1128709' date='Feb 15 2011, 06:37 PM']Hi - is the CE-2 a Made in Japan, or Taiwan, black label or green label etc?

Pics and info added - it's 'only' a green label MIT, but still a nice example of this great chorus.

I've had this for a few years, its such a unique sound that I never thought i'd sell it however I dont really use it. Its a synth-like fuzz with envelope-filter-like qualities.[/quote]

This is a really unique pedal and a great deal. You wouldn't catch me selling mine that cheap!

Fun on bass and one of the very best guitar pedals I've heard too.

[quote name='SteveK' post='1126088' date='Feb 13 2011, 04:34 PM']Don't worry about it.

Forget what the display shows, it'll just make you neurotic. The difference you see is totally insignificant.[/quote]

does not compute.... flashing lights very many... must obey...

You're right, of course, but you wouldn't believe it from the number of 'most accurate tuner' threads kicking around!

SOLD ON FLEA BAY!

That's a bargain price on the Magicstomp - gread mod, 'verb and delay FX!

Now [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270706045782"]on ebay[/url]... If you are interested, I'll accept lower offers here though

Ok, so...

When you pluck a string, the pitch decreases as the note decays.

Having just got a korg pitchblack+, I can actually see it happening... the note starts sharp, comes into tune and then goes flat....

So I should choose - should I have the start, middle, or end of the note in tune?

I guess just after the start (because most notes last, say, 1/4 of a second).


Whadd'ya reckon?

...which puts one in a difficult position - Ah well, I'll take the path less travelled by.

Just completed a swap deal...

'A1 comms' as they say on Ebay, and we managed to make the switch with a minimum of hassle and a maximum of speed.

Thanks a lot, Would be happy do it again sometime! (not with the same bits of gear though... that would just be silly. )


Cheers!

If he does not sell the collection, it will act as a constant reminder of obsession and eventually devour his soul.

If he breaks up the collection, then the quest will have been a road to nowhere and the shock of reaching the end of the trail and finding that the trail leads to nothing will devour his soul.

This thread is nothing to do with pedals. It is about salvation.

got this a little while back from [b]MartyBRebelMC[/b] in pretty much as new condition.

Didn't get on with it at first but once you get the hang of it is a lot of fun!
Has only been used with (clean) socks in the bedroom (shoes are not allowed upstairs in my house).

Will shortly be upgrading to Ableton Live with a looper built in, so this needs a new home.

£79 posted special delivery for quick sale! If you don't like it I'm sure you could get back your money fairly easily.

payment by paypal.

Link to feedback in my sig.

Thanks!

Bargain! these usually go for £50-60 plus postage on ebay without the PSU.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='1091134' date='Jan 16 2011, 10:06 AM']Strap your bass on, and sit down with it sitting on your right leg. The headstock should be at shoulder level.

Stand up... the bass should not move. The headstock should still be at shoulder level.[/quote]

Hmm.... that's pretty much what happens [i]now[/i], with the new (odd) strap arrangement!

If I did that with the old strap arrangement, the bass would swing to the left on standing up.... moving the lower frets out of comfortable reach for intense work!

Thanks to you and all for the ideas, I'll keep experimenting.

[quote name='witterth' post='1090312' date='Jan 15 2011, 12:17 PM']whats causing the Pain?

Tommy Cooper:Patient to Doctor: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this" (moves arm up and about)
Doctor: "well don't do that"[/quote]
Actually I don't really know exactly what it is that's hurting... playing that new order pattern was fine with conventional strappage for about a minute but its the repetitions that kill, hence my search for a nicer position.

I had tried shortening the strap but no matter how short I went, the lowest frets were just too far away for me to play them without crooking my wrist (or growing much longer arms!) and experiencing the pain. The issue came to a head trying to play the New Order [i]Blue Monday[/i] bassline, which is


(tuned BEAD)

[font="Courier New"]-3-3--------
-----3-3-5-5
1-1---------
----1-1-3-3-[/font]

So the wrist is under almost constant pressure and I just couldn't make it through the song standing up. (I am a pretty new bass player, been playing less than a year, so I may lack a bit of stamina).

Anyway, I did move the strap button... and I like it! not a surprise as i'd already kludged the arrangement before doing the move...

There is a slight tendancy for the bass to lean forward, but it can't flip because my leg and right hand wrist are in the way. I don't feel like I have to support it. And actually...

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1090413' date='Jan 15 2011, 01:51 PM']If it's the forwards tilt that makes it more comfortable rather than the neck angle or strap length then the tried and trusted way is to install a beer belly, they can be adjusted by drinking more or less pints a week until the perfect playing position is found then keep to the same exercise to beer ratio indefinitely [/quote]

...the forwards tilt does help, now that I'm starting to dare to play without looking at where I'm putting my fingers. I've been experimenting with the beer belly but am not keen on the man-boobs that seem to come as part of the package.

[quote name='Fat Rich' post='1090540' date='Jan 15 2011, 03:46 PM']Won't the strap stop you getting access to the top few frets of the neck? Not a huge problem for many bass players though!

I'd say shorten your strap or look at your thumb position on the neck and see if pointing it more towards the headstock helps.[/quote]

Yes, the drawback is access to the top frets. I think you are right about pointing the thumb more towards the headstock being a good thing - actually before I tried this arrangement i tried putting an extender on the strap button to make the bass hang a bit further to the right, but I found that my thumb kept coming up round the side of the neck.

[quote name='dood' post='1090471' date='Jan 15 2011, 02:40 PM']On a similar note though and a complete revelation for me is that I've moved the strap button on the bum end of the bass down to the lower part of the body. I've found that by anchoring the bass in opposite 'corners' (i.e. upper horn and the other nearer the jack socket) my bass definitely stays locked in position and far more stable against my body when I play. Also far more 'upright' because my little beer belly alien can't push it out the way! Kinda hard to describe without pictures, but hopefully you understand what I mean! I recommend it, especially if you set your strap height such that your bass is in the same place whether sitting down or stood up.[/quote]

I might try that too - I might even go completely zombie and put a button on the left hand side of the bottom of the bass, away from the jack....

Well at least it sounds like I'm being original!

I am about to nip out to the hardware shop to grab a drill bit and a woodscrew and move my stap button to the lower horn of my P-bass clone (a 'vintage', FWIW)

I tried out the arrangement using one of the scratchplate screws near the end of the horm as a makeshift strap button and it seems to allow me to play with a much less crooked wrist = less pain

Was wonering if anyone else did this/has tried this at some point?
