I'm still in and steaming ahead with a new plan to avoid failure. I've bought an electric MTB! This is a bang on move to keep me in and it's working already - let me explain..... They cost a poopy kilogram of money so I've had to sell an amp and a bass to help fund it. There's loads of other bits thats I need to go with it such as MTB clothing and there's a whole raft of shiny things that can go on it so the bass fund will be empty. Plenty of other eMTB related online sites and forums to geek out in. That means less time to spend on here dribbling over stuff. I'll check in on NYE to see if I've won so see y'all in 2025!!!!!

What's 'the classic BASS tone of the 90's' supposed to be? Doesn't look much like a Trace Elliot....

We use a Eurolite Move Bigfoot DMX controller. It looks a bit intimidating initially but it's actually pretty straightforward and very gig friendly. I run it next to my pedalboard. You can preselect a patch using the UP/DOWN buttons at any point in a song and then just hit the GO button to activate it when you want to - It has built in macros and chases if you want them, a blackout, a sound active mode and the 2 big pedals sort of act like lighting expression pedals if you want them to - you can assign them to a particular fixture and then change the colours by moving the pedal a bit. Myself and the geetard spent about a day teaching ourselves basic DMX programming and learning the unit and we've ended up with 16 patches using just our big sweeper bars behind us and a couple of moving heads on the floor. They're all named on the display which I can see easily (for example BLUE/WHITE, PURPLE/YELLOW, STROBE, SOUNDACT RED/YELLOW) We are planning on adding the lasers, drum lights and front lights in when we can be bothered! Here's a link https://www.thomann.de/gb/eurolite_dmx_move_bigfoot_foot_control.htm And this is what we do with it....

Second gig of the year for Yellowhouse and another packed house in a good venue in Essex - we were expecting January to be quiet but it's been great so far. We've been running with dep singers for nearly 5 months now as ours is broken and it's been a really positive experience. It's got us off autopilot and learning to keep our ears open much more and i've really enjoyed it.

First bit of feed back for Elliott! He just bought an amp from me, lovely bloke and dead easy to deal with. All good and welcome to the money pit!

Now sold Sony wireless outfit - bought as a back up as i've used one for about 10 years but I've never needed to use the spare one! (I knew that would happen) Part of my grand 'New Toy Relief' cash generating exercise.... https://pro.sony/en_GB/products/dwz-series-wireless-packages/dwz-b30gb What's good about it? Bombproof metal transmitter powered by 2 AA batteries (I use rechargeables and can reliably get 2 gigs and a couple of rehearsals out of them so well over 8 hours). The battery door won't fall off and if you drop it you will break your foot not the transmitter. It has a metal strap/belt clip and is also small enough to be comfy in a pocket. The receiver goes on the pedalboard and runs from standard 9v or 12v power supply or even batteries. Easily switched frequencies to avoid any clashes and it also has a DI output. There is a cable tone attenuator if you need it. It comes with a pouch thingy. In 10 years (about 50 gigs a year) of using my original one I have never had an issue - no taxi's, drop outs, odd noises or dead batteries mid gig. Not a single one.... It's massively cheaper than a Shure GLX system. The price includes postage within the UK. What's bad about it? Nothing.....apart from you'll probably use it forever and that takes all the fun out of getting something new You're welcome to come and try it out whilst emptying the biscuit jar and I'll knock the postage off Thanks for looking 🙂 Here's a review...Dood looks a bit odd in it though

I've just done a quick phone video of the bass being used if anyone wants to hear it to check out how it sounds. Done in a high quality recording studio through a Neve console and at exactly 3.17am in the morning because everyone knows the air sounds better at that time. Oh and I got Jaco to play it.....or maybe not......Drop me a message and I'll send it over....

At least an hour I'm afraid and the A12 is borked with roadworks on top of that! -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?
Mudpup replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
If it's an ABM600 push the shape button in (to turn it off weirdly!), turn the compressor off, don't use the sub octave thingy. Then eq it with your ears and not your eyes. You can seriously whack up some of the frequencies to get the sound going. They're amazingly flexible amps in my opinion - one of the few I would have back in a heartbeat. If it's an ABM500 throw it in the bin...... -

SOLD Purchased recently to alleviate my back issues as it's super light at 3.5kg but I've realised I'm a 4 string kind of guy and could do with the cash to put into something else (but at some point I'm definitely going to grab the 4 string version!) I've added great quality fretboard stickers and side dots and the previous owner added a second strap button to improve the playing position (the paint chipped a little when he did this so it's covered with some black tape so doesn't look bad) Probably one of the best necks I've ever played - lovely dark roasted birdseye maple fingerboard, a great flat profile and solid as a rock. Truss rod functions perfectly. Active/passive modes and a sweepable mid along with bass and treble controls. Takes regular strings and I've just restrung it with 125 -40 Dunlop Superbright Steels. Comes with the Ibanez gig bag. Priced at what I bought it for plus what I've put in to it. Collect from near Stansted Airport (I'm 4 minutes from J7a of the M11) or can meet/deliver by arrangement depending on your location. Sorry, but I don't like posting stuff.

I've been using a Digitech Drop pedal recently and its pretty good.

How about a Source Audio Atlas instead and have a squillion different compressors in one box?

The Romantics - "Talking In Your Sleep" (Bass Cover With TABS)
Mudpup replied to BassLard's topic in Share Your Music
A great song from back in the 80's that I thought nobody else had heard. But why have you only done the main riff bit?
