I had a bit of a crisis of ethics recently. I can't reconcile my thoughts and opinions with my ignorant actions. I don't want to abandon the lifestyle I love, but I honestly feel like a sh*t person for carrying on regardless. EDIT: If you chose to be ethical about one aspect of your life, isn't that an insult to the areas you're ignoring? Buying ethically sourced coffee might feel a bit better, but by driving a car (or using public transport) you're hurting the envirovment, not to mention indirectly funding some pretty nasty middle eastern regimes. Just by paying tax I am paying for people to be killed in wars I think are ethically wrong.

can't you move the strap button around and attach the strap to the headstock like with an acoustic guitar? That might move the nut closer to you

yeh you have to chose one soundcard to use - monitor out of the Zoom when you want to use that. I quite fancy one of these but I rad through the manual and it doesn't store loops offline

You'll need to tweak the patch at gigging volume, and hopefully while you're rehearsing with the band so you know how it sounds in the mix. Going from headphones or a practise amp straight to a gig isn't going to work IMO.

Yeh if you want to keep your highs clean I think the J Lo pedal would be perfect as I read it just distorts the mids. I've not tried one but would love a go. If you want a pedal which enhances your highs, maybe something like a Tubo Rat which does a very good clanky tone on low gain settings.

I spent some time before my gig on Saturday and actually cut down to 11 pedals - the least i've played with in at least 7 years. It was quite refreshing and deffinitely a lot lighter. And I could carry it with one hand if my back wasn't knackered!

That's half my body weight. I don't think i'm in the running

I would have thought it'd be fine to just get a stereo splitter, I don't think you'd get that sort of attenuation

does anyone know if the looper can store loops "offline"?

hah, i'll weigh it when i'm done, then we'll see who has the heaviest penis extension... I mean... Errrm

I have my first gig on bass in ages at the weekend. My big board has a rack tuner built into it but it's been very temperamental recently so I thought i'd better take it apart. I haven't seen my board without pedals on in ages and it's very intimidating to try and get it all back together for Saturday. I can't seem to get the tuner going either. At least i'm only using 18 pedals for this band!

I've been thinking of doing this with a looper pedal but maybe it'd be easier to do with a laptop or something. The Jamman and Boss RCs are the only loopers I can find which store samples when turned off.

I prefer my wah before dirt... TU2 > OC3 > SYB3 > CEB3 > Flanger > CryBaby > ODB1

I can't hear the clip but I think the EHX Freeze is similar to the DD3 hold

the Marshall Echohead is ace IMO, one of the best value pedals around.

yeh it looks great as a delay but I really fancied something I can save samples in as well as to use as a looper.

Does the flashback save loops when turned off? I get the impression the RCs and Jamman can do this

just got my pedal from Bassnut - it couldn't have arrived quicker, and it was very well packed etc. A pleasure to deal with!

Ic an't watch the vid but I went through a phase of checking uot his solos a while ago. It seems to me he uses a lot of octave up for his solos, as well as some dirt, envelope filter, delay.

a blend of dry with both loops? Makes sense I suppose

As 5imon knows i've been struggling with guitar sounds recently, so this is a very useful thread. Ta for all the tips!

what does it do? It looks like two TB loops but there's a pot too - intriguing.

power supplies deffinitely make a big difference, and I would guess properly shielded patch cables would too
