[indent=1]mebbe ask them for a short list of 2 or 3 that you can prep for the audition?[/indent]

Brent Fitz who is in Slash's current band is Canadian born apparently Alain Caron is also Canadian (Quebecoi) and of course don't forget Keanu Reeves

[quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1346868901' post='1794312'] no worries!.. Looking forward to me new SFT!... "Loike the Murphy's... I'm not bitter!" [/quote] We both missed it anyways matey, 'already gone' was the reply...so...am selling some stuff to buy misself one and keeping AK eye on the marketplace too...

[quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1346798042' post='1793522'] Bah! [/quote]

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1346780685' post='1793171'] My suggestion (to OP and anyone else for that matter) is that you have a good lurk in the For Sale section on here. I got my BB Preamp for a steal and I love it - a great replacement for my Fulltone Bassdrive. [/quote] Lurking now

first impressions of the TLC are that it's leaps and bounds better (for me) than the EBS, my bassic sound is tighter and cleaner without any false grit, a great start! ...now to find a clean boost pedal or maybe a Joe Meek FloorQ...

[quote name='Captain Bass' timestamp='1346782762' post='1793219'] Cheers Bud! new stuff coming soon! (when I get a break from the crappy day job) [/quote] Looking forward to that!

You can get reaper as a free trial version for as long as it takes you to decide whether you want to stick with it or not (this time has no limit form their perspective) and if you do want to finally do it, I'm told it's only £35 anyway!

[quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1346769380' post='1792946'] The [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lomenzo Hyperdrive certainly tempted me... but it's got such a hoofing great footprint! Haven't the space for it...[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm getting my SFT from Toneworld in Manchester, since getting the Low Drive from them.. Postage is free & they are very helpful & quick. Their price on the SFT is £145 ...which is pretty good for new.

Hyperdrive indeed not little but sounds great...v cheap too comparatively! It certainly 'reads' like it will 'nail it' to me! Free postage may swing it, same price as guitarguitar otherwise...will try to catch any youtube action for it this evening

...and where have you found the best price on an SFT?

I really like the look / idea of that Catalinbread SFT! Will check it out on youtube tonight, I'm looking for something to give a little bit of valvey grind without being really gnarly (a bit like the bass sound at the start of chelsea dagger if that makes sense)... The Lomenzo is absolutely superb sounding but does way more than I need, I'd rather have something that just does the job I want 'really well' so I'm using it in its' sweet spot rather than tickling a pedal that can do loads more than I'm asking it to

I'm considering selling my Lomenzo Hyperdrive (got on a trade from Charic recently) if that interests you at all?

My good friend who's an accomplished protools and logic user is making the switch to reaper, which, to me, is endorsement enough, I'll be trialling reaper in the hope that I can get my head round it...

Frighteningly easy trade with Col (EBS multicomp for Aguilar TLC), beautifully syncronised posting and virtually simultaneous arrival! Great comms throughout, top chap! Thanks matey!

I just use my ebs OctaBass and it sounds wicked, more like the live version, but, really nice and big!

Wayhey, nice one! Another beauty to watch as it grows!!

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1346663834' post='1791555'] Tried tweaking the EQ centre of the mid pot ? (But now I can't remember if it was possible or it was pickup output you van change !) [/quote] Indeed you can alter the eq centre of the mid pot, haven't tried that yet on mine, I think it's default is 600Hz (you can set it to 275Hz / 600Hz / 900Hz / 1100Hz)

Hiya matey, I have a 55-02 and get plenty of top end through my genz shuttle 9 and epi 112 cabs...a few questions spring to mind... What strings do you use? How old are they? What amp setup and eq? Have you got lots of pedals? Does your signal chain start/end with a buffered pedal?
