Update from me: Sunn 1200s/DBX 160x/Aphex 204 2x Aguilar GS412 Traynor YBA 200-2 Ashdown ABM810 Roland RE-301 Space Echo The ABM810 isn't mine anymore as it was totally unnecessary. Traynor is on it's way out, soon to be replaced by an Ampeg V4. Group bass shot at a gig with the newest bass addition, the '86 CIJ Jazz - now with Wizard Hammers:

All for different songs and textures etc. It's all split into two sides with two outputs for different amps. The EQ on the left is to add low end to the main bass distortion section and the other is right at the start of the chain and is set up for a secondary bass. Bought the Messdrive cheap off here, excellent pedal.

I'm sure a review of the archive will find some awesome photographic examples of Joe Garica's bass faces, but this clip is a veritable encyclopaedia: [/quote] Yea, wasn't sure whether to post that as it's one of the worst shows I've ever done. Some pretty nasty faces though. Here's another: "Oh my god, have you followed through on your stool?" Yea I've always played like that as my arms are wonky and can't go palm up.

Damn right. They're fantastic loopers too and a great rehearsal tool.

Sounds like it's been pretty much sorted I guess. I'd do it differently personally, but that's just me. I don't like PODs or big samplers though. I'd use two bass rigs, one for bass and one for high gain/weird effects (this is what I do actually) and then use a Jamman for triggering samples. Digitech Jamman is small, compact, cheap, self contained, doesn't require a big board of pedals and you can load samples really easily via USB. Mono only though, speaking as a live sound engineer though, I tend to run everything mono FOH anyway unless I get a really insistent keyboard player or something.

Anyway, I prefer the midrange sweetness of double walled, triple walled is a bit clinical sounding. Also, this is Doom: [/quote] Blimey. Gotta be a coupla grands worth of Golden Lions there. AWESOME.

Ah sod 'em. Come on, that is a ridiculously ridiculous blindingly stupid mistake.

Oh really? Hadn't seen it, whereabouts was that then?

How do you even gain possession of a bass without knowing what a bass is?

Looks like Hartke don't make a Hydrive 2x10 yet actually. Sure you could find a secondhand Hartke 210XL cheap though if you're not bothered about them not matching.

I have the expanded rack version which I really really like. My flatmate has the pedal version which sounds great through his Ashdown 12" combo. I don't think it'll make you louder in the way that you mean though. Although it's a great pedal in my opinion it sounds like you need a bigger rig if it's purely a lack of volume you're suffering from. How about another Hydrive 2x10 cab to go with it for example?

The compressor on my Focusrite Trakmaster is an absolute joy.[/quote] Aww shucks, thanks Rich. You guys are great to work with, you have a fantastic, well thought out stage set up that really makes an engineers job as easy as possible for such a big band.
