Nice! Al how do you like the Portamento? I've been gassing for one of these for quite sometime but haven't taken the leap to fretless yet.
-
I enjoyed the waltz the best but the others were great too. As a jazz novice I particularly liked the variation in your walking bass lines throughout - they don't stick to a particularl rhythmic idea but seem to wander between themes . Lovely!
-
I've not used it in a band environment yet so am looking forward to hearing it in the mix. In my 'home studio' it sounds great. I do have to resist the urge to squash the living S&*T out of my tone though but it's so much fun. I like the way it has no metering - it makes me use my ears more. With the Empress, looking back I was relying on the metering way more than the actual sound and that's not right.

I've recently downgraded from an Empress Compressor to a TC Spectra Comp and I'm loving it! It can't half squeeze!. Not as transparent as the Empress but still a solid compressor.

Decent online or otherwise slap bass courses?
burno70 replied to Max Normal's topic in General Discussion
This. Last year I was in a similar position as the OP, I could slap a little but not really great at it. I'm about 1/3 of the way through Clayton's book and am so much better than I was this time last year. -
As an old thrasher I find the idea of playing thrash with one finger incredible! That's a serious talent right there. Even Cliff needed two! - you must have a bionic finger!
-
Yup - me too!

Empress traded. Thanks Ian. -
Both reluctant sales but I need to add a DI to my pedal board so they have to go. Would love to trade for a good DI and/or a TC Spectra Comp with cash either way depending on the pedal(s). Otherwise price listed below. Both in excellent condition with Velcro on the bottom and come with the boxes etc. Empress compressor £160. Darkglass B3K original handmade made in Finland version £140. Will get pics up over the weekend.

Yeah not the prettiest.

Thanks Nick. I had assumed that this would be the case but saw a thread on TB referring to the on board volume pedal and looking to had an expression pedal. That's a relief as use my expression pedal way more than my volume pedal.
-
Hang on. Just read that the on-board pedal is a volume only pedal - not an expression pedal. Is this right?
-
Ah I see. I thought you were stuck with the colour of effect type type and that was worrying me. Thanks Dan. The Helix sounds perfect for what I want to do. I've been a gig fan of the M13 in all its incarnations for years and this is so much more useful. Will have a think first though - it's such a radical change of gear.
-
Brill! Thanks for clarifying.
-
Also, I can't see that there is a pitch glide effect (like the M13 whammy) on the effect list. Does it have one?
-
I'm thinking of going down this route. It would be a great solution to a number of issues I have at the minute. I'd rather get the LT due to the price difference, but I find the the lack of effect visualization (or lack of scribble strips from the floor model) a bit daunting. LT users out there - is this an issue at all?
-
Arrr, sad news. I've got a soft spot for Mr Big who I stumbled across following Sheehan's career in the early 90's. RIP Pat.

Handbox Audio WB-100 - new 120w tube head (pics)
burno70 replied to wateroftyne's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks for posting this WoT. The dimensions was the first thing that popped into my head. Just so happens this will fit on my BF ST - holy balls! Major gas now! -
Who are we kidding - does great bass tone REALLY matter?
burno70 replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
This is a perfect summary of my thoughts on bass tone. -
Well done sir!

SOLD Ashdown Little Bastard tube amp with 15" cab
burno70 replied to burno70's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I've not tried it at gig volumes and it can do loud in a home environment. But it all honesty it's rated at 30w and I don't think it would would have a chance against a couple of guitars or a loud drummer. Still available incidentally. -
Funny, but not for me.
-
Hall of fame if you're looking at the cheaper end. They crop up at around £60 on here and Ebay. Not much better at that price.
-
Are Markbass cabs now considered a bit rubbish?
burno70 replied to Wolverinebass's topic in Amps and Cabs
Not sure about that as they're not exactly cheap are they? I had the same rig as you. The BF super 12 is so much better in every aspect not just the weight. It was cheaper than that pairing too. -
I was set to sell my entire MB rig as I thought it too dull. It was great for thud but little else. Bought a different cab and the tone was awesome. I still have the amp - it's ace.
