  1. Tried connecting Focusrite to effects return on my Markbass today, both from the speakers and headphones out on the interface with the same buzz/hiss. I am sailing the google but no luck, but as far as I have seen, some people are doing it this way and it works fine, so it is a possibility that the Focusrite just acts like that and I am thinking if I would connect it to DI and then from DI to the amp then maybe this could work, but I don't have my own DI and don't want to spend money on something that won't make any difference.
  2. Thanks for the link, I went through the whole topic looking for an answer but it is mostly talking about iPad and things related to it. Then I saw your post and I was hoping that someone answered it, but no one did. Did you manage to sort it out? Do you plug your Focusrite straight to your amp?
  3. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1450440499' post='2932819'] I was talking to a guy last week, he does a similar thing, using Ableton. You should just be able to use your 2i2. There's a guy on here with the user name Urb. Maybe message him ? I'm friends with him on Facebook, he's friends in real life with Matt Garrison. He was at the gig, and posted photos on Facebook. I'm sure he'll be able to tell you what the set-up was. In fact I'm pretty certain that he does a similar thing himself. [/quote] Many thanks Ambient, I searched for the user you recommended and noticed it's Mike Flynn, I don't know him personally but we have few friends in common and I have already sent him a message on Facebook right after I posted this thread but I am not sure if he will be able to see the message as the non-friends messages usually go to the 'others' folder unnoticed. I am not sure if I can use just the Scarlett itself, as I said, when I plug the output to the amp, there is just a huge hiss, but it works just fine with the studio monitor.
  4. Hey guys, I am using Ableton Live for music production for a while now (I am using Push 2 with it) but I never realised that it can be a powerful fx processor too, and I have recently seen Matt Garrison on youtube playing a gig and I noticed he had Ableton set up with SoftStep etc. Now I realised that probably I can save myself quite a bit of money and use my laptop instead of buying another bunch of pedals. I hooked my bass and tried few things and it sounds great. Then I started thinking how I am going to hook it up to my bass amp? That's the advice I need. If any of you are using that kind of setup can you please share with me how you connect it to the amp? I got focusrite scarlett 2i2 and I thought it will be as simple as connecting one of the outs to the amp input (I got Markbass mini CMD121) after setting out the master out in ableton just to that one single out on the scarlett, but when I connected the jack to the amp I can just hear a massive hiss, so obviously there is something I am missing and I guess these outs are different than signal coming from the instruments. Any help would be much appreciated because I want to have it all set asap and google doesn't help.
  5. Just put the roundwounds back on, going to play 'brazilian love affair' on it today and it sounds amazing
  6. There is currently a 14 days free trial offer running on the SBL. I signed up because I am on the mailing list and received an e-mail saying that he posted interview with Hadrien Feraud and I really wanted to see it. Just want to mention that I am a 2nd year student doing my degree at one of the music schools in London. I highly encourage to try that trial offer and have a look around, I am certainly going to cancel it, not because I think it is not worth it, just purely due to my financial situation, because once the trial expires, you have to pay for one year straight away. It cost $168 which is about a £110, that's less than a 10 quid per month. Just think how much you have to pay for a one to one hour lesson with some good bass players and then do the maths. I am currently just trying to spend my time watching the archived seminars and there is a lot of it from not only a great bass players but a great educators as well. Add interviews and podcast etc. The layout is amazing, and you can tell that this website is very well prepared and structured, and I was a member of other very well known bass player website that charged much more and I cancelled due to poor organisation on the website. With the free trial I can't really see why you shouldn't just try it and make your own mind. I think it is well worth it, I am paying £6k a year tuition fees, of course you can't compare it because I am learning much more than bass playing and I am making a lot of connections with other musicians and play a lot, which is priceless, and this is the only downfall of learning online.
  7. Hi, I am really not thinking about doing that, i am perfectly happy with the bass and will trade only as I don't want a period without a 4 string bass. You can always trade and sell the P Bass
  8. Thank you lownote12 but I am not selling this bass, just trying to trade and not even sure if I will even if I will get the offers, it is great, I play it everyday and I just love it more and more, especially with the flats on.

  10. I sold my bass to Jeebas and just want to leave a positive feedback. We agreed on a deposit followed by the rest on a specific date and everything went smooth. We had a great communication during the process too. Another highly recommended basschatter
  11. Ah, thanks a lot, I didn't realise, I'll drop them a line then. Cheers
  12. [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1449308288' post='2922371'] I happened to spot this Musicmaster for sale in Guitar Guitar Glasgow. Caught my eye as I owned a white one back in the day. You could get them to send it down to a store nearer to you. Hope this helps. [url="http://m.guitarguitar.co.uk/Product/PX151121290907002"]http://m.guitarguita...151121290907002[/url] CB [/quote] Many thanks, I really wanted a trade but this is tempting.
  13. New [s]trade[/s] sale value: £550 [s]New options: extension cab to fit my Markbass Mini CMD121P plus cash my way Maybe some Jazz Bass, or any other bass? Offer me whatever, but be prepared for declining. Only straight or cash my way trades though, as I just bought another bass, so no more spending this year! Hello, So this is only a feeler at the moment and it really depends if I will find something that will be interesting. It is a TRADE ONLY for American Mustang or Musicmaster bass. Visual condition doesn't really matter, I know these are considered to be a vintage stuff now and most of them I have seen are close to a relic look, so as long as the neck is straight, electronics work and frets are decent I will be up for a swap, but only after a meeting, so I could try it first.[/s] I have bought it brand new from Wunjos in Denmark street about 2 months ago, and it's made in 2015 so it's pretty fresh, but as it is a road worn bass, it came with some dings and body finish is dulled etc etc, it already gained some extra dings but you couldn't really tell unless you would have another one of these right next to it. Neck on this bass is great, and it feels almost like a Jazz neck. It is strung with DR flats and sounds funky. Most shops are selling them for around £770, comes in a Fender gig bag and with all the paperwork or gig bag candy The pics don't do any justice to the bass, it is hard to catch that candy red dulled finish but at least here is something Scott Devine recently started using this bass too, and here is one of the vids when he used it. [url="https://youtu.be/5Ue5MEHYyTM"]https://youtu.be/5Ue5MEHYyTM[/url] I am based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, you can pop in and try it out, I will also deliver free of charge within London area or anywhere reasonably close to Borehamwood, or for some extra petrol money if it's further away. Meeting halfway possible too. I won't post I'm afraid, as I don't have any solid box or case. Any questions, please let me know! Cheers Pat
  14. I have just received a significant deposit, so I guess this is now sold
  15. Thank you Andy A lot of intetest in this bass, it is on a complimentary hold until tomorrow for a person who has a first dibs, but deal still isn't done, so anyone can still send me a message.
  16. You're welcome, and no worries, I can understand that some people prefer to try the bass first, as this is the case with me and I personally went to Bass direct to try it out. However, if you will change your mind, I might be in Coventry and that's about half way, and if I will be there, I'll be staying at my friends house and could bring it and my marks combo for you to try out. Thanks Pat
  17. Thanks Pete, I am based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, just outside North-West London
  18. This is a bit of a pain for me, as I just got it probably less than a month ago as a pre-owned from Bass direct, for just a quid short of £800. It is absolutely amazing in a red see-thru finish with quilted maple top, headed graphite neck and a gold hardware. It is in excellent condition, the only bad side is a buckle rash on the back in one spot (I am going to add a proper picture of this today or tomorrow), and that's about it. Not sure about the year as I didn't get that info when I got it, but the gold on the pots started to fade just a little bit so it is certainly not a recent bass (I am not a Status expert, it's the first one I've ever had). String action is very low, if that is not your thing you can always put it up. String spacing is about 16.5mm on the bridge. It came with a hardcase, not in a perfect condition but works well. Can personally deliver within a sensible driving distance, can meet up half-way, or post at buyers expense (will post the estimated postage price soon too). The only reason for sale is the fact that I am into producing music and I use Ableton, they have just released their Push 2 controller if that tells you anything, and I have spent a lot of money buying it, and I need some food. I can't see myself parting with the other 2 basses I have, so this one sadly needs to find a new home. I hope that the price is fair, I would love to get back what I paid, but I have put the price a bit lower and I can always listen to some reasonable offers. Might accept a CHEAP bass with cash my way too. Here are some pics And here is a little video I made with this bass [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p31-9GO6plE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=p31-9GO6plE[/url]
  19. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1445150113' post='2889050'] Oh my! That is very pretty. I don't usually go for heads on Status basses but that one looks lovely with the gold tuners. Any idea when the bass was built? [/quote] It is indeed a very good looking bass! To be honest I don't know anything about this bass, except the fact it sounds amazing. I know it must be a bit old because the gold hardware faded a bit in some points. I am considering dropping an email to Status and ask them a few bits about it. I really would like to know some more things about the electronics. It active, but I am not sure if the single battery is for the pickups, or if it has an active preamp. It seems like it is just a volume, balance and tone, but the tone pot has a centre notch to it, and I've never came across anything like that in a passive electronics. Also, this bass has the hottest output out of anything I had before, if I turn the volume pot all the way up, then my little markbass combo is shaking my whole room even with the lowest volume setting.
  20. Hey guys, I think it is about a time to go out there and jam with other people! Recently I spent way too much time practicing scales and other stuff. But where to go? Can you recommend me any good jam sessions with friendly and easy going people? So far I've been only to a Hoxton Jam in a Troy bar (and a few more, but not really a funk or a fusion ones), never went on stage yet but totally loved the vibe, and been amazed by the level of the players (especially the bass players). Also if you could suggest a 'must know' tunes that are most likely to be called on the jams like that? Cheers
  21. I am a fresh Status owner! But my bass certainly is not freshly made, it's a second hand S1
