yes, both pedals are powered individually by their own 9v supply.

Hi all, My current pedalboard set up is: Bass guitar - ehx micro synth - zoom b3. However, there is seemingly a big drop in volume when the micro synth is ON. Turn it off and there is a big gain in volume again. Even if none of the b3 pedals or patches are on? Any ideas what could be causing this?

SYNTH BASS using a conventional bass guitar and pedals? Anybody?
la bam replied to Greg.Bassman's topic in Effects
Electro harmonic micro synth pedal. And a multi fx pedal for little extras when needed. -
Hi all, Im just putting my pedal board together for our dance/house band and wondered if anyone uses A/B boxes for switching between basses, and if so could they recommend one? Just needs to be silent in operation and easy to 'stomp' between the 2 basses on the pedal.
-
Nailed it! The micro synth did a great job, the trick then was to add some low gain distortion and some ambience from the zoom b3 which gave it that nice kick pad sound. I put it through the Ashdown rig on their own pre shape eq, and it sounded pretty much spot on with the rest of the band. Thanks for the help!

I've got a great pair of Yamaha dxr12s (the nexo ones) don't know if they would have that 'bass cab' oomph though?
-
Cheers all. I think I've got this pretty much there now using the micro synth and zoom b3. Taking to practice tonight to for it around the drums, then should sound great!
-
How about a Yamaha BB424? Best of both worls with a jazz and precision crossover, slimish neck, great tonal variety - superb p bass sound if needed and save £1200!
-
Do you use an amp modeller/fx/pedals etc to get your sound when going straight into the PA?
-
Im sure others have thought of this before, but with amp modellers now becoming very good to be honest - the likes seen on several multi effects boxes - theres a lot of flexibiity to have several amp sounds at our fingertips rather than just one 'brand' with its own sound. Given that, if you did want to go down that route, what power amp would you buy (i suppose it would need a rich but neutral sound so as not to colour the amp models) and what speaker or speakers would you put with it? Would even 1 active cab (made for PA) work? and would a 12" be good enough?
-
I have the 424 and love it! I got it in red (after never being interested in a red bass until i saw it) with the mirror chrome finish and it looks awesome - really catches the light when playing. Fantastic colour - photos on the interet dont do it justice.

Ive had the MAG 300, the superfly and now a ABM evoii 15 with 2x10 ext cab. What i found is the Ashdown's sound on its own is never great. When i have found a great rich deep sound at home after a lot of tweaking then took it to practice it has completely disappeared into the drums. Revert back to the Ashdown pre shape and it cuts through fantastic. My advise would be to test one, and see if it has enough tone shaping for you and headroom before breaking up. If possible test alongside a drummer or drum machine to set a good tone against that. Start with all the eq flat then tweak from there. By far and away the best amps for band use in my opinion - ive never liked the sound on its own, but never sounded better in a band scenario - which is weird!
-
thats great, cheers! ive just bought a second hand ehx microsynth so i'll see how that goes when i get it too.
-
Thanks. I guess what i meant is that if that bassline (and effect) isnt played, or is played just as a bass guitar sound the song sounds emptyish. I'll try that fast envelope effect - is there any kind of decent envelope effect pedal that you would recommend (or multi effects)? I can wind up the valve drive on my ashdown abm for the dirt hopefully. Had to laugh - ive just returned to bass playing after 3 years off and promised myself id use a straight forward set up - 1 song in and im already looking at effects! Thanks for the help so far.
-
Hi all, We are just in the process of doing a cover of killer by seal / adamski and I'm wondering if anyone knows of an effect or type of effect that can create the really full sound created for the bassline? It's quite a difficult sound to describe but it seems very full with some kind of reverb on? Any help appreciated.
-
I've used the lowdown 300. They are ridiculously cheap to buy, and do a good job, as said without being outstanding or impressive. The low-down has a lot of modeling and amp emulation on, making for a big array of sounds. Not punchy or deep, but fine to get an ok sound from.

Mani, from the stone roses. The most melodic bass player I've ever heard. You can sing all his bass lines. So many memorable ones, yet he doesn't get many plaudits. He shows great melody, great innovation and thinking and is part of a superb rhythm section. I am the resurrection Made of stone Ten storey love song I wanna be adored She bangs the drum Fools gold To name just a few.

hi all, ive just purchased an Ashdown ABM C115 575w combo. ive been offered a 2x10 ext cab -question is -how would I connect the ext cab to the amp head of the combo? There is an available speakon socket, but next to that is the pre wired jack plug that connects the amp to the existing 15 speaker. Are these sockets for one output, or is the speakon designated for an extension cab? (so both sockets are being used). thanks.

thanks. not much "bass payin" going on! about the usual pizza money per gig
-
hi all, im returning to bass payin after a 3 year absence, and back loving it. This, as im sure you appreciate requires buying everything again. I have just bought a lovely abm 15 combo. I have also been offered an abm 2x10 ext cab that the seller says sits on top of the head of the combo, so from top down the rig is: 2x10 cab amp head of combo 1x15 of combo question is: is it safe to have the ext cab on top of the amp section, or can it rattle the amp components?
-
Sorry for the delay. This is now going to be sold, whether i want to keep it or not, as i dont have any requirements for it anymore. Located in chorley, North West. No amp anymore.

dont make me ebay this - its far too good!

Hi all, I havent been on here for ages, due to the band splitting up months ago. As part of that I have gone in a different direction and sold my kit, leaving only my bass left. Seeing as i havent taken it out of the case since the band split, I am putting it up for sale. Its in pretty much excellent condition and has had a lot of money spent on it to get it looking and sounding as good as it is. Its body was bought years ago from a pro body shop similar to Warmouth and is in a red/orange burst colour (i cant remember the exact ____burst name). Its heavy and thick and oozes quality - you can see the grain in the photos so its quality wood. The neck was bought from a separate company from new and is smooth and plays really well. There are a set of Fender type (but copy) tuning pegs. There is a Badass II Bridge copy Bridge which is a very good heavy copy and gives excellent sustain. x2 Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Pick ups for jazz bass. A control panel made specifically by KAigon off here - who everyone gets there top spec equipment off - that cost me a fortune. V-V-T. DR Neon blue strings - only played twice. These are white strings that glow blue under neon lighting. I have put a decal on it "TT Funk signature bass" but this could easily be replaced. The bass sounds amazing - lots of tone control as you would expect from a Jazz config. Great resonance thanks to the bridge and real thick sound thanks to the pups. I used to run Rotosound 45s on this, and swear its the best ive heard through my Mark Bass. You can replace the Neons if you dont like them - I think they still sell at £20 second hand. Comes with well used hard case which protects it perfectly. Loads of features, and worth a lot just in spare parts (pickups/bridge/controls/body etc) £225 delivered.
