[quote name='Oscar South' post='204709' date='May 23 2008, 01:57 AM']Since theres now a battery powered bass amp (Roland Bass Micro Cube RX) and also due to the fact that I've got about 5 months (waaayy too long) of summer holiday to kill before I can go back to uni I've decided to take up busking. I want to do it solo without accompaniment so its just my bass playing (EADGC tuned 5 string) and below-average vocal ability, I want to get a set of about 5-6 really solid pieces ready at first (can just keep playing the same things as people will be coming and going) then I'll add to that.

So far for repertoire I've got:
Yesterday played 2 hand tapped,
Original song with a dominant tapped bass part that can be performed solo.

Potential additions:
Frosty Acres (Jean Baudin)
Vanishing (Jean Baudin)
Lemon Tree solo bass arrangement (copied from the guy who did it on youtube)
Mad World solo bass arrangement

Can anyone suggest any solo bass tracks or songs that'd lend themselves well to a bass/vocals or just bass arrangement? I'm pretty competent at most techniques (fingers, pick, slapping, tapping, natural or artificial harmonics, chordal etc., no double thumbing) and an ok arranger so those limitations aren't really too much of a big deal.

Thanks for any advice .[/quote]

Are you busking already? If so i might have seen you playing in Kingscross tube station? There is the same person every sunday doing playing some really nice pieces on a 5 string yamaha of some kind i think? He has some good tapping skills too.

If its not you, there is competition!

Fancy swapping for a rare boss PS-3 pitch shift delay?

Im on the list for a VT1-EQ-Drive. Cant wait for it to arrive.

If i thought my car could cope with this cab i would be pulling your arms off for this.

I was about to ask the same question!

Do you have a price and some pics?

Sorry just clicked on the link. :wacko: will save a pic and zoom in.

Can you post up a pic of the front panel so i can check out the controls? Cheers.

No worries mate, drop me a pm if you want to talk further.

The sound samples on talkbass of the Huckleberry are really good.

Bump for a great sounding (and looking) pedal.

[quote name='sk8' post='192061' date='May 5 2008, 09:33 AM']Actually i'm quite tempted. I'll have another think and let you know.[/quote]

Cool mate.

The GAS is kicking in BIG time!

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='191569' date='May 4 2008, 01:28 PM']I'll think about. It concerns me that you're slightly too far North and your profile states you live in 2 locations.[/quote]

Yeah i live in hatfield hertfordshire for during most of the year at uni but im a Swanley boy born and bred!

Sorry mate nothing phasery! The trem sounds nice though. If you did want the trem i will chuck in the chorus anyway. You might change your mind about chorus?

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='191554' date='May 4 2008, 01:06 PM']You're from West Kent.

That means you can join me and Clauster in the Double-Hard Bastards club.

Rock on.[/quote]

Im from Swanley in Kent, can i join?

I have a line 6 space chorus module with the pedal base and i also have the line 6 tap tremolo module which i have been swapping in and out with the chorus for recording.

What do you think?

are you interested in a trade for anything?

A five string version of this would have had me sweating!

Cool i thought it may be an original because there are no holes for the valves. Great colour though. When i get some money ill defiantly get a green one of some sort.

Nice! What's the DHA pedal? Looks really cool in that colour.

Ahhhh excellent. Seems like a good idea. It would be cool to hear the difference with and without the buffer when you get the final design done.

Just to get my head around the idea of the buffer, are passive basses high impedance?
