using your rat or big muff blended should give some good results. Have you thought about making a small pedalboard so you don't have to plug them in for every gig?

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1045241' date='Dec 2 2010, 03:46 PM']i can see the reasoning behind the sound guy getting there after the band are due.[/quote] Yeh, me too, I don't doubt that they're forever waiting for bands. We all know what musicians are like. I don't get annoyed with it anymore, I just turn up late. We never take longer than 15 minutes to set up though. (15 for a full kit, about 5 when we're sharing)

Every single gig i've ever done, they have specified that the sound check is at least 2 hours before we play, and the sound check never ever happens on time. Even for the decent venues around here with great sound guys, they ask you to turn up at 5pm to soundcheck and the soundgy turns up at 6:30.

You should be using ear plugs anyway, if it's loud enough for the others to need them. Adding treble doesn't reduce bass. Maybe the answer is to keep your sound as is, but then feed your signal to the PA or a couple of monitors or a guitar amp or something, and point this at the rest of the band with the high end turned up.

IMO playing near the bridge doesn't give you more treble, it just cuts some bass to give you more of a mid-punch than a low-thump. Treble is "click, clack, zip, scrape" etc I've never played a bass that naturally lacked treble, as IMO this is down to new strings and your technique. I've played lots of basses that seemed incapable of transfering the treble to my rig (it's a bi-amp with guitar amp so i'm pretty sure i'd hear it if it was there). Personally, for my funky or slap sounds, I prefer to play nearer the neck for plenty of thump, but I add in plenty of treble using my pedals and amp.

Pat Badger!!!

I love women that could kick the sh*t out of me

beautiful bass and ingenius stand! Nice one

I played 4 for a while, and still do occasionally. I wouldn't buy another though - 6s only for me. It's not as though i'm always using the high C or low B, but I want the option. Obviously it can mean that you have to move up and down the neck less, which is a bonus. The main attraction for me is big bar (barre?) chords using the high C.

[quote name='GazWills' post='1037920' date='Nov 26 2010, 04:09 PM']do you really need a pedal board for 2 boss pedals?? surely just chuck em in your gig bag, they're hardly fragile![/quote] Well then you'd have to plug in patch cables and power cables every time. I bought a nice mojogear board off one of the stylish pedal whores on here (I forgot which one ) it's triangular and has a soft bag. If you put two boss pedals and a power bank on it, it'd look suitably populated.

gorgeous!

Depending on the effects, you might be able to attach them together. I'm thinking of those little strips of plastic with two screw holes in which are designed to put under the corder screws on boss pedals - you then screw the other hole to a pedal board, except you could put the other hole under the screw on the other pedal. That was hard to word!

Perhaps a new rule could be to link to the thread you bought your bass off, if you got it from BC. It would also help to track where the basses go! Is that an infringement of a basses right to privacy?

I bought a boss pedal from Matt - it arrived the next day!! I've never done a quicker deal. Cheers!

indeed, but this is Ida Funk[b]house[/b]r!

I'd use it like that then. The fuzz is obviously adding a lot of top end that the delay is taking away. By putting it after the delay, the top end still gets added to your sound.

Nice one! I also had this problem, I might give that mod a go.

You could have your Grolsh rings chromed!

Have you tried the fuzz after the delay?

I'm surprised people love strap locks so much. I use Grolsch rings and they've never failed.

I have a mate from dublin, and he does an impression of a tipperary accent that amuses me greatly.

heh, i think we should abandon this and declare OC-2 the winner.
