[quote name='velvetkevorkian' timestamp='1327178131' post='1507583'] I could be interested, what kind of music is he looking at? Originals or covers? Would he object to me bringing the 7 string? [/quote] Just had a word with him. He's not restricted to any one style of music, but prefers Blues Rock such as Cream, Guns n Roses, Led Zep. it's mainly originals, but happy to do covers (but in your own style rather than a Karaoke stylee). As for the 7 string........He says "that could open up a new dimesion of posibilities". If you're interested, PM me & I'll pass your details to him in the morning.

Sounds like it's been a good weekend! We also had our first gig of the season last night at the Doghouse in Dundee. An acoustic session with 2 other bands & a couple of solo performers on the bill with us. Started off with only a small amount of folk in the venue & I thought "Oh dear, oh well, we can still have fun". But as the night went on, the place picked up. So much so that when we got on stage there was quite a decent audience. The singer/guitarist had some feedback issues with his acoustic (piezo pickup hasn't been fitted properly) & I forgot my auralex foam thingy & we was on a wooden stage that gave loads of boom, so much twiddling with EQs was needed, but we got there & what a great reception we got. So much so, that we've been asked back to do a full evening set (date TBC). Even the headline act gave his appreciation of us before he did his closing number. Gotta be the friendliest place I've ever played!

I decided to do a wee video of the routing on my board. To some, it might just be "Duh, obvious!" & to others it might be "Ahh! So that's how it works". hope it gives you some ideas (& making a pedal like that is a doddle if you can solder & drill holes without hurting yourself). Anyway, enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z73FWmWNQbA&context=C3f9cc5dADOEgsToPDskKye3Wf_8YcXyq3dWNZZZ7B

One of my teammates at work (Goitarist with quite a collection & can play them too) is putting together a band & is looking for a Bassist to join him, so I said I'd ask on here if there's anyone wanting to join him? He works here in Perth but lives in Aylith (in Angus) but can travel. Anyone interested, let me know & I'll pass your details to him. G

I don't know why they didn't make teh cymbals yellow. Would look better than black ones.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1327063637' post='1505878'] New track from Nerve - Damn its good! [url="https://www.facebook.com/NerveOfficial?v=app_178091127385"]https://www.facebook...pp_178091127385[/url] [/quote] Just had a listen. Now if I can get my drummer to quit his job up north so we can practice & talk the guitarist into playing more synth guitar......

I'm another who will happily start writing on whatever instrument I have to hand, but the majority starts with a bassline or a melody in my head. My basslines often follow the melody (if they aren't the melody). If it's the singer who's written all his parts & wants me to lay a bassline down, it's totally different from the stuff that I write (not intentionally). I leave him to add lyrics to most of the songs we write.

[quote name='munkonthehill' timestamp='1327008829' post='1505281'] you would get on with our very own Mark Daniels (AKA 7string) if you make it along [/quote] And Dood. Unless he's moved onto the 9 strings! I'll see about sorting out something in Perth for a weekend in June/July/whenever suits.

Welcome to BC. I'd be up for popping down for a bash (if you'll have me, that is).

Damn you! GAS!!!!

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1326968915' post='1504351'] Thats really cool. If anything like that is done again, i'd totally be up for joining in! [/quote] i'll give you a shout when the next one is starting. Not sure when it is yet though.

Hehe, I might make it my avatar. I'll need to get a good listen tomorrow as the Mrs has commandeered the mac

I'm on it a lot more than I expected to be! I'm looking forward to hearing it at home (finish work at 10 tonight).

And this thread is back from the dead! It's for Dubstep & effects so here's a video that I partook in... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTmAnGzNQxE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTmAnGzNQxE[/url]

Over on a Facebook forum called Organic Bass Wobble, 9 bassists collaborated to make a bit of Dubstep. A short beat was provided & given a key & asked to submit a bit of bass & after some fine work by Code: Marla, here is the finished mix. Enjoy.

I often play my electro -acoustic through my Markbass combo & it sounds excellent (Markbass do also make acousic guitar rigs). I plugged a Yamaha strat thing into it & it sounded pants. But my mate plugged a Fender strat into a Vox AC-30 & it sounded pants too.

Bump for those whose up this way. There's 4 other acts on with us (not all at the same time of course).

What a disappointment The headline on the front said "I've just bought a Trac" & I was expecting it to end with "tor". Nice find. looks like you've grabbed a bargain!

I do indeed. Fitted perfect with my acoustic band tonight. Retains loads of low end & can add all sorts off effects to the 2nd channel. Here's some better pics... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289-post-your-pedal-board-basschat-style/page__view__findpost__p__1501749"]#3019[/url]

New homebuilt router on board & new layout. Sounds pretty awesome. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/6711384757/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/6711372259/][/url] Shep would have a field day with my wiring (either that, or a heart attack!).

All built & working. Pics to prove it! [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/6707842955/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/6707844547/][/url] Signal goes Bass into Black Router, send to OC-3 > Bass Murf. Left out from Murf (Notched at 160, 350 & 775 Hz only) into SDS-2 & into the return on BR. BR out goes to the CE-2 > MF-101 & then into C1 on mix section on BR. Right out from Bass Murf goes straight to C2 on BR mix (only frequencies below 110 Hz & a 240 Hz notch goes to this channel) & then both channels mixed together. When engaged the CE-2 & LPF only affect the looped signal (so all sub is clean). When not engaged, it's a clean sound straight into the CE-2 & LPF. Proper band test tonight! Sound clips to follow!

Just a shout to the company I got the parts from. http://www.rshelectronics.co.uk/ Excellent service, great communication (I asked questions about parts on a Saturday afternoon & they emailed me back the same day & also on the Sunday) & good prices. What impressed me was that I placed the order on the Sunday & got the parts on Tuesday. The way it should be. I'd recommend these guys any time.

DANCER! Pedal works! Thanks guys. I need to do a proper test tomorrow to make sure, but all seems fine at low volume. No shielding needed (probably just jinxed it though!). Will get pics tomorrow too.

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1326624760' post='1499559'] Sorry for the late reply. Where have you got your grounds tied to? Also, have you shielded the ABS box? Start there and then worry about what you've got going into each input! [/quote] Thanks TG, should I tap all my grounds to the top of a pot? The box isn't shielded, I could spray glue into the box (emptied) & stick tinfoil into it.

[s]Fixed it! Pics coming soon.[/s] Nope, I haven't! Buzzes like a big fridge. Any ideas anyone? It's fine 1 channel at a time, but the minute I put 2 ins. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! I'll have a mess about after work tomorrow.
