Hey guys. Here's a video from a session I did last week with a band I've recently got together. I'm quite into jazz fusion. Hope you enjoy! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBVZfjMAVIo"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBVZfjMAVIo[/url]

Dang, that was silly of me! Hopefully this works. . .

A friend has asked me if he could sell this bass for anything. I don't recognise it (although perhaps it's obvious. . . ). Does anybody know what the make/model is and if it's worth anything? Cheers

Though I'd share this with folks here, I've not found another post talking about this. A few months ago, I was keen on buying a volume pedal. The EB Volume pedal seemed to be the only one to go for because they feel very nice and they've got brilliant build quality. I needed something that would work with both my Active and Passive basses. EB do a 25k and a 250K pedal to suit either, but none does both active and passive equally well. After a bit of research I found Justin Butler, a musician from Nashville who basically rips out the guts of the EB Pedals and replaces them with his own active circuits (needs 9v power), basically a buffer for the output and a buffer for the tuner out so that there's no tone loss. The thing that was appealing to me was that it has a variable impedance knob, allowing me to use both active and passive guitars on it. There's an active/passive switch, basically allowing you to turn it back into the normal unpowered EB Pedal if you wanted. It was slightly more expensive (think it worked out to be about £170 inc shipping), but I had a bit of spare cash from some gigs at the time. It took about 2 months to get here (He's pretty busy), but it's finally arrived and I'm very happy with it! As a bonus, it glows blue in active mode! Very cool. . .

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1366637193' post='2055215'] I see from your sig that you have two TRB's, that's all the punch you need right there, just a mather of getting a nice compressor to help a bit (the MXR is a great choice). You could also try and adjust the internal trim pots on your TRB preamp, it can give your bass a little bit of extra punch. Everything else can be achieved with EQ. ...but are you really looking for an excuse to buy a new bass? If that's the case i would say, yeah go ahead, you really need a Tobias to sound like that and just in case get a Stingray too! [/quote] Haha, this made me laugh! Yes, and excuse for a new bass is always lovely, but your right, the TRBs are hefty punchy. I'm actually selling my old one just now as I really don't need 2 TRBs (Shameless plug! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184881-fs-1988-yamaha-trb-6p-l1100/page__hl__trb%206p ). I've never played around with compression outside of the studio, so I'm quite keen on experimenting with it a bit live. I like the look of the MXR bass compressor.

[quote name='paulbass' timestamp='1366562155' post='2054065'] This guy is a top bassist. To get that punchy tone he uses a tc electronic impact twin,which is an interface that you plug into when recording.They are great bits of kit and they sell for around £250. Hope this answers your question. [/quote] Ah, thank you sir!

Aye - It certainly is. Would a MusicMan give just as punchy a sound?

Aye, It's ridiculously bendy! Maybe that's his secret. . . Cheers for the quick response! Not too familiar with Tobias, but it's time for me to swat up on their basses!
