Moog Bass Murf may well do what you want. Not sure if it's smaller though (probably bigger).

Markbass gets my vote. I've had the 2x10 combo for a good few years & very happy with it. As I usually suggest, get yourself to a good shoppe & try some gear.

Like lxxwj says, try the elimination process. Try it in 1/2's to start with. Maybe taking the lead from the Analogman Mini Chorus straight to your amp & see if there's any hum. If there's none continue down the chain adding one at a time (as the looper with the zoom is next, you could add that as one). If you do get a hum, try taking it back just to the Ghost Face. Or you could start with plugging your bass straight into the looper [color=#800000]"ACTIVE" BASS (STINGRAY)[/color] > [color=#008000]LOOP BOX IN (GATOR BLOCK) > ZOOM B2.1u (WALL ADAPTER) > LOOP BOX OUT[/color] > EARTHQUAKER DEVICES GRAND ORBITER PHASER (GATOR BLOCK) > AKAI HEADRUSH (WALL ADAPTER) > EL NANO MOLE BASS BOOSTER (GATOR BLOCK) > [color=#800000]GALLIEN KRUEGER 1001 RBII AMP[/color] [color=#000000]& then work your way backwards.[/color] [color=#000000]As for the flanger issue, I re read your post & I'm not sure what you mean.[/color]

& what the hell are you doing up at 5:30!?!?

We would need to know your signal chain to properly help with your first question, but my initial thought is a 2 channel mixer or blender is what you need. Same goes for the second question, it may well be that some pedals don't like sharing power (moog lpf is a prime contender). Have you got cats? A tooth into one cable & you'll get plenty of noise. Check for damage to your cables from the bass & to the amp.

I would have thought North East was either Tyneside or Aberdeen.

Could do with some chorus & a bit of drive. Maybe even some wah.

Good film (as far as chick flicks go) & that bit made me laugh. Pretty funky stuff you've done there & nice bit of playing.

You can also link the MWBD Pro to the BEF Pro & control both with the Hot Hand. A good place for a bleather all about Wubbling is [url="http://www.facebook.com/groups/265330523479274/"]Organic Bass Wobble[/url]. If you haven't already joined that is.

I think a 4Ω & 8Ω load combined is 3.2Ω. It wouldn't apply to that amp though, unless you put both cabs on the one channel (such as all on amp A) & then you would risk damaging your amp.

The Mrs just got a hairdryer that says "Turbo HD" on it. Does that make it modern retro?

Yes. According to the website, you can run a 4Ω cab on amp A & an 8Ω cab on amp B. Bear in mind that the 8Ω cab is gonna get 375 watts & the 4Ω 600w. Edited to check: It is the S Max 12 you have?

Only advice I can give is "try before you buy" & by that, I mean try one with your gigging rig (including any other effects that you use). I tried a few & the only one I got on ok with was the EHX White Finger (but without any other FX in the chain). I tried a few different ones from my two guitarists & I got too much noise going on from the other pedals for any to be worth adding (I must admit that I had a lack of time to have a proper long play about with them & see if I could set them up better).

Welcome to the forum Deb. That looks like a good combo for the money & with Thoman, if you don't like it, you can send it back within 30 days for a full refund (less postage). Always worth keeping an eye in the "For Sale" section on here too as there's often a good combo for a good price.

You could always pop to rubber feet on the top of the cab, or better still, get a piece of foam that fits round the handle for the amp to sit upon. Have to agree with Bozzie, go & try a few out & see what You like the sound of.

Black insulation tape FTW!

Unless you play something very bass orientated (like a bass solo or play in a DnB outfit), none of the audience is gonna come up & say they noticed the bassline, let alone any effects. If you dropped the bassline, it would be noticed. Same with effects (unless you're using them wrong).

I'd look at a small 2x10 rig that can be used out of the house (for when the time comes). Best advice I can give is get to a couple of decent shoppes & play away. What I like, you might not.

[quote name='pietruszka' timestamp='1335296341' post='1628956'] 20?! Thats just a shop isn't it? Im not out to tell people they're wrong or to not use effects at all, as already agreed by several; if you know what you're doing then great. But it's when you use up valuable time getting plugged in, set up, got your settings just right etc etc. I've used pedals live several times before, but it's pointless as it has no noticable affect on anything. IMHO if it doesn't make a difference that people will hear then why bother? I'd personally be happier being able to play gear I'm very lucky to have than worry about whether I have my pedals textures right. Dan [/quote] Have a listen to this & then do it with just a chorus (mind hit the bypass switch )... [url="http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/analogftw-ep"]Our Helical Mind[/url] Just a drummer & a bassist to provide all the sounds. There's a lot of other bands that use effects to this degree too. The bass is just used as the tone generator for what is an analogue synth.

If it was I, I would do what Shep suggests & split your signal, putting one as a sub channel & the other for your FX & then sum them back together. It's what I do as well. You still get to hear the clean sub & the dirty overtones as two separate sounds (your compact will play more than one sound at a time). There's loads of different ways to split & sum. I use a Moog Bass Murf to split & a home built 2 channel mixer pedal to sum them together (with a bypass switch as well). Then instead of buying another amp & cab, you can just get another Compact if you need it.

The debate on whether the guitarist needs the 16 pedals or not is pointless, as we don't know what is played. I'm sure there's a lot of us would find our own stuff a but lame without certain effects. Yes I agree that 6 different distortions are probably a bit pointless, but a guitarist might want a muffled drive for during the verse & then something a bit more aggressive for the chorus/solo. Pedalboard should only take a minute to set up though (as quick as a multi fx unit).

What's your gigging rig? Maybe a 1x10 version of one of your cabs with your existing head? I use my 2x10 combo for home, rehearsal & gigging with, that way I have the same sound everywhere (makes sense).

Could Active pickups be designed for passive basses that have enough room to squeeze a battery in there to power them, but not enough room to fit active circuitry? To change the battery in the Ibby, I had to take the backplate off (4 screws).

It depends on how many folk are in your band. You could go for a bit of overdrive & a low pass filter with a pedal to open it up if there's only one guitarist, maybe even a little slow thick chorus on those slow blues numbers? At the end of the day, only You know the answer. Now go & have fun playing with effects.

It would put out "up to" 250 watts to each cab, but it should be fine. I would stick the 200w cab on top of the 400w so you can hear if the amp ever needs to be backed off. Why not get 2 of the same cab? Makes more sense.
