Thanks! Here’s the cloth I bought. I’ve decided to cut some MDF into a square and then cut out the centre to make a rigid frame that won’t need glueing. I can use the pillar drill at work to do it and probably nick some wood too.

Not a bad price. I prefer the matte black one on here though

I've put him on Post Approval (so anything he posts will have to be approved by us first) and sent him a rather to-the-point email regarding his actions from this point onwards. Unless he sorts you out @joegarcia he won't be coming back here again, and I'll co-operate with the Police should you like to get in touch with them about it. Contact detail wise, I have an email address and home address which may help the Police if necessary. Feel free to message me and I can pass these on to the relevant authority.

Very cool, it looks really tactile and has stunning attention to detail.

I’m in York so fairly close. Tempted!

Some bridges really don’t go very low, and I’ve removed parts of saddles before to get the super low action I like. It’s quick and easy and perfectly ok if the string has something stable to rest on. In fact, the bridge in my Marleaux had those same ‘blades’ and even at their lowest they were a good 3mm too high, so I took them out. I think the bridge was ETS?

Hmm. Can you set it with a high ratio so it works like a limiter, using a TonePrint? 20:1 or more? (Just realised you’re talking about the mini but I’m on abiut the normal sized which takes battery power)

Welcome Josh, get Stuck in, I hope you enjoy the site.

I just spent an hour listening to synths on YouTube

I've now started modding the Roland Micro Cube somewhat. Nothing OTT but since removing the plastic corner protectors I've also put the rubber feet on the side so the amp sits rotated 90 degrees with the input and controls on the side of the box. This means I can sit on top of it and also it fits under my coffee table without having to remove the lead. Next I am changing the metal grille for a wooden frame covered with black speaker cloth, which should look quite nice. Hardly warrants a build thread... will update when it happens! Any tips for covering a wooden frame with cloth? I've got some decent non stretchy stuff that I plan on basically stapling to the frame, then attaching the frame to the cab by using lego bricks or velcro... I presume covering the existing metal grille with cloth is a no-no, but that said I've only read that in connection with big cabs in large rigs, which might produce flapping against the grille. Hardly an issue in this case...

Agreed on the lack of musicality and the wearing a hat indoors, but I do find techniques like this interesting; although i'd never use it for a full 'riff', I do enjoy using my bass percussively and familiarising myself with the feel and tonal qualities of the instrument. Sitting in front of the TV this kind of exercise is quite useful, but probably not in a band situation.

I think we tried it but it didn't work - we've got a test site up now and it's on the list of things to fix and push to the live site.

Thanks. Always really enjoyed Carvin gear. I suppose costs are the reason?

Try Youtube. Tons of great drum tracks there which you can use, often at the exact tempo you want.

Nothing like a NBD, congrats

Easy

They’re actually bigger and more widely spaced than the letters on your on screen keyboard. We don’t have any control over things like that anyway, it’s part of the software.

Don’t ask us, but please feel free to contact Invision who make the software.

It’s gone now

Glad you like the bass! What’s your serial number? Got any more pics? These are really unique basses with lots of unique features that just work together so nicely to produce something really special. As I said in our PMs, the range of sounds available far exceed what I thought possible with two pickups so close together. And the clarity and even definition of both together sounds really smooth and powerful, like my friend said “like a brick covered in velvet” @LeftyJ you could replace the bridge no problem, the older basses had the excellent Schaller 3D bridge. I’m not actually a fan of the Kahler as I found the saddle position I wanted was always half a turn between the groove being lined up in the string direction (the saddles screw up and down like grub screws) - fine if it works out but awkward if not. In the end I filed the saddle down to taste.

You bloody love it

To embed images just use img tags like before, or just drag the actual image into the editor.

Reverb is one of my favourite effects and I use it all the time when playing at home, so much so that when I play bass through my headphones without reverb sounds really weird. I agree a reverb with a high and low cutoff can be useful - I actually like adding it to the lows and cutting the highs for some applications, it creates a nice warm soundscape. I haven't ever used it live.

Love reverb. Try the TC Electronic Hall Of Fame (they do a stereo version)
