[quote name='john_the_bass' post='190638' date='May 2 2008, 03:37 PM']you could come round my house and say that if you want - i'll give you a lesson on how it feels to be hit in the face with the lower bout of a P bass [/quote] Someone's angry at their inner gay tendencies! How's about I come round and teach you the joys of receiving anal "rape"?

[quote name='neepheid' post='190606' date='May 2 2008, 03:09 PM']You appear to have made the assumption that all P bass players are male.[/quote] Sorry, and I've started off a wave of homophobia. Never mind!

P is masculine, J feminine. P players are gay?

J has pulled away again, never loosing pole position and now with a stonking 5 point lead!

[quote name='Sparky' post='190575' date='May 2 2008, 02:40 PM']i'm sure i've seen another thread about people who turn up to gigs without their own gear! as bad, if not worse than bass snobs IMO! [/quote] Yes, I agree. I'm talking about a hypothetical situation, e.g it was the biggest gig of your life so you had to play even though your house full of vintage precisions just blew up.

The J has started with a promising lead but the P is starting to nip at the J's tail with only one vote between them. Should there be a finish line?

I don't really like Fenders, but I thought this would be a laugh. There's no happy mediums here, I won't add "other" to the poll. If you don't want to vote you don't have to. Let's have it out!

[quote name='Bassassin' post='190512' date='May 2 2008, 01:49 PM']I could not give a baboon's arse what people think about my choice of basses - if you still think it's crap [i]after[/i] you've heard me play it - then we can discuss it! Jon.[/quote] I'm the same about my pedal board. I get so many moans before i've played through it. "that's a sound man's nightmare!" etc.

Wow, that's an amazing deal! Not dealt with them though.

I think the best question would have been to ask: "what bass would you want to turn down if you were stuck at a gig without a bass and needed to borrow". I personally wouldn't turn down any bass I was offered. Would you turn down anything but a fender?

Do you have a computer? If it's just for home use you can get some great usb interfaces that come with amplitube and things like that.

Is it for gigging? The B1X feels a bit fragile for that. I've not tried the Korg.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='188960' date='Apr 30 2008, 04:25 PM']I might have to have a look at the ME-50B then. However I also play 8-string which in theory should be a far easier instrument to mimic using effects, but I still haven't come across one that would be an acceptable substitute to the real thing, so not holding out too much hope for the de-fretter...[/quote] Yeh, to be fair I was being too general. There is a need for fretless and 8 strings/12 string guitars. You can get a variax or a midi pickup and could probably get a good 8 string sound out of it.

[quote name='Higgie' post='188986' date='Apr 30 2008, 04:50 PM']The EBS is a dynamic envelope follower yes, but I wouldn't put it before anything. I like my filters after gain so you get the big squelchy synth sound Also, I'm pretty sure that making a TB loop to stop tone sucking WILL NOT allow trails to come through...[/quote] I like filters after a bit of dirt too, but I have the choice of before AND after. Obviously the pedal is designed to respond to your dynamics, and you loose a lot of your dynamics if you apply distortion. I wasn't talking about a standard TB loop. It could be a TB loop where the output of the pedal is always connected, and the footswitch just turns the input on and off. For example, I use an AB switch to switch between two loops, but I use (don't laugh) a double headphone adaptor to merge back the two loops, so that i'm only switching the inputs, and I get my trails. I was actually thinking of a little timer circuit on a 2 footswitch 1 loop pedal. I might draw it up, but I probably haven't got time.

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='188970' date='Apr 30 2008, 04:39 PM']can't beleive how many pedals some of you guys use, you have more than my guitarist and i thought he had too many only just bought my first pedal (compressor) and cant think of much else i'd need, well apart from a bit of distortion and maybe some chorus (used to have one) and maybe a decent octaver [/quote] and a digital delay, and you can't just have one distortion, you need an OD AND a fuzz and a wah, and a synth pedal and...... unlucky.

[quote name='tauzero' post='189471' date='May 1 2008, 09:24 AM']if you have a fixed IP address, you can run one at home.[/quote] How much would it cost for that kind of bandwith though? It'd be cheaper to get a dedicated server surely? [url="http://www.zen.co.uk/hosting/"]http://www.zen.co.uk/hosting/[/url] I don't have a dedicated server, but I have a virtual server running 7 sites, 5 of which are shopping carts, no issues at all an they'll really try and help you out as well if you have any problems. I find 123-reg/pipex a bit of a bitch to deal with regarding tech support. Zen hosting (sorry, I said myzen before 'cos that's my subdomain thing) always answer the phone, 123-reg always have me on hold to a computer for 15 minutes.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='188941' date='Apr 30 2008, 04:11 PM']You have a de- and re-fretting pedal? Cool! Where can I get one? ;-)[/quote] I have a big magic pedal cavern located just between my arse cheeks. Come round and you can have a look!

I find it funny that people take more than one guitar to gigs. I have pedals for that kind of thing.

Is the EBS IQ a dynamic envelope follower? You should have that first if so IMHO Do you not have the DD20 in a loop because of the way the delay decays when you turn off a patch (I don't know if it does this)? I bet someone could design you a box to put it in a loop so it wont suck your tone until it's on, but when you switch the loop off you still get the decay at the end.

[quote name='dood' post='188679' date='Apr 30 2008, 10:27 AM']Lol.. I have gotten used to a diet of bread and water over the years ;o)[/quote] No cheese? Oh the poverty. I'd have some sympathy, but then my rig is far too cheap and noisy compared to yours...

Have you tried Myzen hosting?
