  1. Yes, the video demos sound awful to me, the reviews I've heard here and on TB sound pretty bad, and I tried them (pitch box and pure octave) at the bass guitar show, under admittedly challenging conditions, and they sounded really not good. I can't see myself buying one.
  2. [quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1368084590' post='2072879'] The bod looks huge on your board! [/quote] Yeah, wish I had an octave in the 1590A format, then I could squeeze in the Green Mile too.
  3. I would really like this one but I counted my basses last night .... I don't think I can justify another till I get rid of at least one.
  4. [quote name='krysh' timestamp='1367690328' post='2068503'] after my jazz trio has split up last week, I spent the whole day with finding/programming sounds on the different boards/pedals and figuring out how to use bass (and bass synth), guitar and vox to work with the looper for my next bandproject where we will be 2 guitarists/bassplayers sharing jobs and a drummer, playing some urban grooverock. man, still a long way to go! [/quote] Sounds really interesting ... Would like to hear the end result, or even rough mixes or rehearsal 'tapes'.
  5. [quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1367751402' post='2068986'] Bargain alert!! I have one of these and they are crazy !! [/quote] Very good envelope filter in these too (mode 10). Has been described as a 'sleeper'. Worth £35 for that alone.

  7. [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1367569080' post='2066916'] You'd think, I now have two nano's really need to just stick with a PT jr or One was always my favourite board size, modular just means infinately expandable to me terrible thing. [/quote] Heheh .... I started buying small pedals and nano because of restricted room on stage .... now I have a full nano and a PT mini for the overflow of small pedals I can't get on the nano :/ I expect I'll take both to the Herts bass bash.
  8. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1367534158' post='2066749'] Excellent for its size, the controls are a bit counter intuitive. One increases 800hz up to 20db and the other is some kind of weird passive tone. A little weird to control. Not too good at low gain settings. Sounds like the BB preamp but in darker tones wont sound like a muff like the bb. I wanted another bb or similar but tHis sounds tHe same at high gain, and is smaller and only cost me 70 quid new. [/quote] Hmmm ... sounds like one I'll need to audition in person. Thanks
  9. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1367527093' post='2066591'] Messing around with this setup, maybe a few more additions to be made, but finally got a nice drive under a clean blend I like. [/quote] How are you finding that Markbass distortion ?
  10. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1366899681' post='2058756'] Heh heh, well maybe if there's a bash coming up before they are released, then I'll bring it along! I can't say that I'll be giving it up any time soon! [/quote] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/199015-mid-hertsnorth-london-bash/page__fromsearch__1"]Mid Herts/North London Bash[/url] ?
  11. Was having great fun with this little setup the other night. Envelope Filters have always been a problem for me, my preferred string for normal use (an old set of flats) doesn't have a broad enough frequency spectrum for a filter to bite on, and I've gone through a few filters trying to find one that will do the job. Last night I discovered a pedal I've had for a few years appears to be perfect for the job: The SYB-3 (on program 10). Always used it on the synth settings before. It seems to have enough tweakabilty of the right sort to get something out of my strings. The only other thing that comes close that I've found is the Proton. Tried a meat wad and couldn't get on with it at all, couldn't find suitable settings on the Enigma Q-balls, the AW-3 is really not tweakable for Q at all, and the Bassballs (okay, not really an env filter) is either too subtle, with fuzz off, or with fuzz on, just delivers that unique bass-balls sound and nothing else. I can't believe I've found the most tweakable EF in this multi-purpose, non-boutique, pedal. Oh, and the AW-3 is a lot of fun with the expression pedal tweaked for 'Humaniser' sounds 'O' -> 'I'
  12. Errrm ... are they not available yet ? Quick searches on eBay and Google Shopping revealed nothing.
  13. [quote name='phagor' timestamp='1364764784' post='2030716'] It lives! Zoom MS-60B Multistomp for Bass Patch 1 to 10 Test [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7rXx84fO8M[/media] See the user's other videos for patches 11-20 and 21-30 Zoom MS-60B vs Sansamp Bass Driver [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1820_IXnxg[/media] [/quote] I don't know how I missed this news ... looks like an awesome pedal.
  14. Here's the Lakie HB in a band context for anyone interested. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNndzya6ZYg&list=PL162E4E77310C4785[/media]
  15. Came across old videos of me playing this recently ... made me very nearly want to buy it back
  16. The SFX B[sup]3[/sup] is a great warm-up or fatten-up tool for me. From 12:00 back to 7:00 the tone control is a treble roll-off, somewhat like a passive tone on a bass. From 12:00 to 5:00 it progressively lifts the treble a little and cuts the bass a little ... I don't use this much. The EQ curves on the sfxsound demonstrate that well and some people on seeing those curves have drawn comparisions with a Big Muff tone control. The scoop switch scoops the mids at about 800 - 850 Hz. Works great for me

  19. [quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1365193463' post='2036713'] Not sure where Ryan gets these LED's. [/quote] Looks like you could do with some lightdims ... [url="http://www.lightdims.com/"]http://www.lightdims.com/[/url] ... I only needed one ... couldn't adjust the settings on my EWS BMC without something like that, the LED blinded me.
  20. [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1364506112' post='2027550'] I've replaced my patch leads with the Diago Patchfactory kit (smallest plugs ever, they're only 11mm!), [/quote] They look pretty cool, but they're not the lowest profile, my Hosa pancake jacks are 7mm high. Or was it diameter you were talking about ?
  21. [quote name='cd_david' timestamp='1364567530' post='2028276'] My latest: Unknown alder body, Status unlined graphite neck 70s vintage fender tuners, fender high mass bridge and EMG pickups. Truly the best Fretless I've ever heard or played, it's got mmmwwwaaaah but a huge bottom end and super clear. Excuse the phone pics. [/quote] Complete class. Black is where it's at
  22. [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1364418057' post='2026317'] I'm sure all the mooer units were genuine. [/quote] I'm sure they are, too Genuine in the sense that they came from exactly the same source as every other Mooer pedal. Call me cynical, but the announcement looks to me like a bunch of fibbing and scaremongering in order to try and keep us away from the cut-price outlets.
  23. Anyone else seen this ? [url="http://www.mooeraudio.com/en/news_show.asp?MsgID=48"]Mooer Urgent Announcement 14th March[/url] If I'm reading that right, they're claiming that Mooers sold through W'T'F and Marcmart were fakes (okay, 'not genuine', that's close to 'fake' isn't it ?) I've got to say I find that scarcely credible. Would anybody go to the bother of make a fake copy of something that's already a copy of something else ? I suppose it's possible that there's a factory that supplies mooer that's also supplied other outlets (W'T'F, Marcmart) direct, but it's a stretch to call those products 'not genuine' (to my mind) if that is what's happened.
  24. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1358696253' post='1943484'] I tried out the black distortion pedal the other day. Quite nice, but did remove a fair chunk of low frequencies, plus adding a lot of mids as well. Ideal for guitar solos, but not so much as a bass drive - which I`m sure it wasn`t made for anyway. [/quote] Which one was that ? The Black Secret ?
