[quote name='BassManKev' post='220456' date='Jun 17 2008, 11:08 AM']although i will say that generally i think mxr pedals are a little on the expensive side[/quote] they are a tad pricey but i think the sounds are worth it. and they're much cuter than boss pedals ^_^

[quote name='Oscar South' post='220220' date='Jun 16 2008, 09:22 PM']I don't rate most boss effects pedals, maybe the tuner, the EQ, the Noisegate, the Delays, basically utility pedals like that are ok but I can't stand any of their 'tone dependent' stuff. I've used a bunch of them including wahs, distortions, compressers, phasers etc., the modded CS3 I think is decent but better for guitar or vocal than for bass but all my boss stuff now has been sold and replaces with, MXR, Aphex, EHX and Korg pedals. On the other hand most of their effects are excellent for electric guitars.[/quote] plus the one. boss may be bulletproof, but imho they are pretty poor when it comes to the sounds they make. they do good tuners tho. i much prefer mxr or ehx tbh. as for the behringer vs. boss...i'd say it al depends on what you wnt it for...

[quote name='Sibob' post='219995' date='Jun 16 2008, 04:22 PM']If you anchor your thumb on the pickup and play the E string, you're probably bringing your plucking finger back to rest on your thumb. So when you play the A string, bring your plucking finger back to rest on the E string, and so on![/quote] oh ? i do that anyway..except when i'm playing bass [i]properly[/i]..with a plectrum.

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='219009' date='Jun 14 2008, 10:07 PM']here, try this exercise: [url="http://www.basssessions.com/aug04/triplet.html"]http://www.basssessions.com/aug04/triplet.html[/url][/quote] i'm prolly being dense, but i don't understand what's being described there...what does the author mean by "allowing your finger to come to rest on the string directly below it."

i loved my yamaha md8..iirc you could 17mins of 8-track, 34 mins of 4-track, etc. i've still got it - the minidisc section doesn't work, but the 8-track desk does - it was a nice-sounding mixer

i've no idea what the difference is i'm afraid. i can't remember what happened if you put a datadisc in an audio minidisc player.

found it whilst clearing out - i used to use them in my 8-track back when it still worked. it's been unwrapped, but iirc, never used. free to good home

...sounded brilliant can't say how impressed i am with the sound. it really handled the gig well and my overdriven sound has never been so good. thick and punchy....good enough to warrant compliments from both guitarists yoysah ! i lurv SWR !!! p.s. i also used a volume pedal for the first line live too...sounded great making swells with some reverb and delay. p.p.s. we were videoed too....OOCH !

i use a tlk board and our keyboard player has one for her korg as well. i wouldn't throw them in and out of aircraft but they're fine for the price i think. but the cloth on the inside does come away - i stapled mine down but it's still looking a bit tired.

[quote name='bassjamm' post='218147' date='Jun 13 2008, 10:30 AM']Hmm...that's interesting mate! Do you have the specs or rough pricing on how much one would be? Just googled it and can't find much![/quote] no probs...[url="https://www.audiolinks.com/tek9/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jqdmlqh0"]here's [/url]the spec. i can't remember the name of the company i bought mine from but it was £300 or so. i'll check when i get home and let you know.

i pair up my ampeg svp-pro with a soundtech ps802 and i love it. 1U and ~16lbs. the only down side is that the fans are quite loud, not an issue live, but noticeable at home.

take a book. there can be a lot of sitting around, which can get frustrating. have fun !

schaller are sending me a replacement spacer plate...for nowt ! hurrah and thrice huzzah !

[quote name='cheddatom' post='216912' date='Jun 11 2008, 02:35 PM']What?[/quote] plus the one.

i love my svp... i'd add more, but it's just fab...fat and smooth or snotty and overdriven if needs be.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='216505' date='Jun 10 2008, 11:28 PM']Worth it for the parts - if it was local to me, I'd 'ave it.[/quote] plus the one...

it's great...

[quote name='rmorris' post='212165' date='Jun 3 2008, 10:57 PM']Ah - OK . I posted to that thread. Did the Sansamp that got blown get fixed ?[/quote] soz...i missed your post. no - i was pi55ed off with it so i junked it, silly i guess. but eventually i bought basmankev's m80 and am a lot happier with the sound.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='215931' date='Jun 10 2008, 09:38 AM']I'd also print out a bunch of stuff from Marc Sabatella's website, particularly this bit: [url="http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/ms-primer-4.html"]http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/ms-primer-4.html[/url][/quote] ooh - top tip.

[quote name='Muppet' post='215641' date='Jun 9 2008, 07:28 PM']...the sound man has ultimate control and he can make your Ampeg sound awful at the flick of a switch if you piss him off![/quote] which is why if they say they want to use their own di...i agree !!

[quote name='dangerboy' post='215611' date='Jun 9 2008, 06:36 PM']I've always put this down to lazy soundmen, tbh.[/quote] plus the one. i'd imagine it's just easier to stick a vanilla di-ed bass sound through a PA than one that's been through a preamp. it annoys me seeings as i like to think that the sound i get out of my amp sounds better than a straight di, but there you go. on a related note - when i've offered the di that i've brought with me (used to be a sansamp, now's a mxr bass di), the soundman's always turned it down...
