Handy location and I'm free - I'm in

Dredged up this thread to remind myself what strings I have, to replace them like for like. Can't believe it's been over two years!

New video for UJahm song Pressure out today. Enjoy!

Kind of forgotten to update this thread! Short notice while I'm waiting at the bus stop with my bass - UJahm playong as part of Dot2Dot festival tonight.  Suede Bar Hockley, 10:30pm

I have no recollection of quoting from or replying to this thread 😂

Ummm, welcome to basschat

Bit of a last minute change of circumstances for me means I cant go this time 🙁

Have a great time all, I'll try not to be too jealous when reading the reports and pics 😪🤢

Thanks very much. Will ingest and implement

Quick question if I may; when perusing the user patch database, what's the best way of hearing a preview of a patch? 

Currently, I just download something with an interesting name/sounds vaguely relevant then see what it sounds like when it's on the FI. Hardly the best way!

The keyboard in the editor seems like it should be a preview tool, but no noise

Great thread which I've just discovered!

Here's a demo from my old synth-based pedalboard setup, starting simply, then adding stuff until silly:

Room for one or two more?

Sharing a gig with Channel One Soundsystem and going through their stack tonight. DJ soundcheck was insane; the bass gave me blurred vision. Should be an interesting night!

Edit update:

Gig was great and endless positive feedback about how good the sound was. We need a stack like that! Problem is it fills a Luton van and takes four people to carry each of those bass cabs!

Been playing for 24 years:

1: Marlin Sidewinder

2: 2EQ Stingray 

3: 78 Precision

4: Wood&Tronics Ergon 5

5: Wood&Tronics J4

Only the Ergon 5 remains

Edit: just remembered I also owned an Epiphone El Capitan for a few months in Australia as a busking bass.

so in terms of playing live and gigging with it, no latency or noticeable glitches?

None for me

Are you using the stock presets and tweaking using the pedal parameters or have you gone deeper in to the desktop application to get your sounds?   

I'm not so midi savvy that I can create my own patches in the editor, however I have scoured the large pool of user-created patches over on TalkBass and added the ones I like to my unit via the desktop editor. 

I introduced one to my pedal board a year or so ago, and now it's my only pedal! It has displaced individual fuzz, low pass filter, OC2 and tuner among others.

It may not be the most intuitive to change settings on the hoof, but with some pre planning, it's fine. No problems live for me, but i haven't recorded with it yet.

I love the Tune Yards, some really inventive pop; quirky and sometimes verging on the psychedelic.
This song is more old school, and well worth a watch all the way through. Superb voice, music with space, and a definite early Zepplin vibe imo

I'm guessing this is the list?

On The Cure:
"From the the stark and intense nature of albums like 1982’s Pornography, through to the more flamboyant and playful records like Wish, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and Disintegration"
Surely this has been written by someone who has never listened to the dark and not-at-all-flamboyant-or-playful Disentegration album.

More surprising than the asking price is the assertion that 1982 was pre the funk/slap era!
