    Hear how I do it

    ped replied to ped's topic in Recording

    As a preamp and interface yeah... actually thinking about it I think the bass signal has a touch of stereo reverb on it. During the recording sessions I like to have all my options at my feet, so to speak, even though most of the time I am clean as a whistle.

    Here are a couple of clips from a recent recording sesh - just thought I'd pop them up here for comments etc. Just a bit of fun really! Not sure if I had posted them before? Cheers ped [url="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Sticky%20Situation.mp3"]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Sticky%20Situation.mp3[/url] [url="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Canti%27s%20Wrap.mp3"]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Canti%27s%20Wrap.mp3[/url] (signal is my bass clean into my Vbass, also clean, into desk, also clean but a bit dusty)

    Show us your rig!

    ped replied to ped's topic in Gear Gallery

    Well thanks for ze comments... considering it cost me about £300 in total I am pretty pleased to be honest. really like the horns in those SWR cabs. I am in love with the sound of the rig, it beats the Mesa 400+/1516BE and the Trace Elliot V4 combo to my ears - but to be honest I sound PRETTY MUCH the same through any amplifier for some reason. It could be lighter (I guess 4x8 sized cabs are about manageable) and look prettier though. Still, who gives! ped

    I would really prefer to avoid shipping them - my local post office has closed so it means getting into town which is a real ballache in itself, let alone with parcels, so I can queue for a few hours until it closes at 12! Nice to hear from you BTW and sounds like you are doing some impressive work from 'yer email! ped

    If this had the ability to 'undo' layers it would be perfect for me!

    Must be a horrible situation - hope the £1200 goes to funding a more suitable bass which you like just as much ped

    Haven't looked at this thread for a while, so really nice just to catch up and see all these lovely rigs. Mine really isn't pretty at all, so I'm jealous. ped

    I think the Hartke pedal will be OK as it has a DI. I think I have heard of someone else using one as a pre-amp with great results. I use my Vbass which is sort of a multi FX unit as a pre-amp and it's great (and it does stereo), so I think anything with a level DI out will be OK. Cab-wise it's the same as if you were buying a head and cab solution from any other company. Once you have your poweramp/pre-amp sorted you could take it to a shop and try some out. Cheers ped

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='647416' date='Nov 6 2009, 05:11 PM']It was probably due to you wearing Lynx lol. Guess ill have to resort to my TalkBass T-shirt to woo the local shoppers this weekend.[/quote] We can't have that!! Strange it hasn't arrived yet - I think nearly all have now. If it doesn't show up I will refund you and send you another free (if I have one at the moment) or reserve you one in the next batch. It's probably being worn by a postie somewhere. Marleaux Bass Guitars of Germany sent me some things a while back and they went missing, so next time Gerald Marleaux sent them with a letter addressed to the postie asking him to deliver the parcel this time and to take a look at buying a Marleaux bass!!

    One quick question OK here is the situation. Everything works. Just fine. However, the active circuit only works if a put a jack into the a/4" socket (even if I'm using the 13 pin output for the actual signal) because it completes the circuit like any normal active system. I have wired the jack holder part of the socket to the inside of the metal coated cavity (that's the bottom right wire in my diagram, the top of the two labelled 'earthed'), making the active circuit always connected, so it's there when I want it, but this drains the battery. How can I avoid this and make the active circuit switch on or off without having to use a 'dummy' jack socket? Will I need another switch instead? ped

    Aye, I sent the link with the whole thread so the editors can pick what they like best. Cheers ped

    Really sorry for any confusion. I had the eCommerce site all ready to go but for a whole week (and still now) the login page won't load. I thought best to avoid it in case it went tits up again. It didn't occur to me that people may have bookmarked the old thread, so apologies for that, too. Not that I am making excuses but it really was a mammoth task sorting it all out from beginning to end and now sorting out the one or two exchanges for different sizes etc. A pre-order thing may work well but I will have to find time to organise it all again soon. Last week was one of the worst in recent memory for me and although the sales went off without a hitch (well one tiny one) I think I need a little time to take a break from 'work' (in terms of Basschat) for a few days. Cheers all ped

    Quick question for those who took these pics and to those IN the pics - does anyone mind if some of these are used in BGM in the next issue? I'll try and find out what happens regarding copyright and so on, but I didn't want to just let the editor choose from these pics without your permission. Also if you are in one of the pics and maybe you told the wife you were at work/doing DIY or whatever and you would prefer not to appear in the mag, please also let me know. Cheers ped

    Beautiful. What sort of price range are we looking at? If I could have another fretted+fretless pair I would be extremely interested in this and the fretless LeFay for sale on BC. Such a sexy looking bass, this. Any more pics for me to look at? Cheers ped

    My collection!

    ped replied to ped's topic in Gear Gallery

    Cheers Gary, very kind. This bass is wasted in my hands. But I'll never lose it!!! ped Oh and I always play in D - I like the lower tension and the extra notes. I also find it more comfortable octave shape wise. With my pathetically light womanly touch on the strings it also means that the lower tension responds to variations in touch more than a higher tension string. I can get a real 'digging in' sound by playing a tiny bit harder than normal.

    Sensual. Looks like a winner - get it polished though!! I spent a relaxing 30 mins polishing mine the other day (probably about the best part of my week) and now it's like a mirror again!! What strings do you like on the bass? I have tried several, and after settling firmly on Elixir's on the fretted, NOTHING works as well as marleaux strings on the fretless. Maybe because that's what I used at the beginning and so I'm used to them, but they just resonate really nicely with the feel of the bass and are somehow more tactile than the others I have tried. Obviously no need to use flats on these necks! Cheers ped P.s I think we all need to see some proper decent large pics of your 80s and 00's Arpege basses together. I will do a matching one of my twins in reply!

    I think I have only ever played one OW bass and that was a long time ago... actually no I played a 36" fretless recently... lovely craftsmanship. ped
