Beaut' Enjoy it. Think Kiwi has the same Lexicon unit, nice addition. ped

You seem to be consistently ever so slightly behind the beat, audio lag?

I use Hydrogen

4 stringer, me - though I have had and played all sorts up to 6 string and found them equally fun. I have definitely settled on two four strings now, fretted and fretless. I always tune my basses DADG though so I don't feel quite right playing in E. Might as well have a few extra notes, and I like the lower tension. Cheers ped

Basschat is now OHPF

Here is a B string clip I sent to a prospective buyer who wanted to hear the clarity of the low end. You will need headphones for this one! Cheers ped[attachment=23433:B_string_sample.mp3] Here is another clip I did for a buyer... [attachment=23434:Bad_Back.mp3]

I just picked up a pair of early SWR cabs, a 4x8 and 1x15. they sound great, both fit in the boot of my car and are fairly light. They say they were made in Sylmar, CA. Circa 1994. The Black Beauty is basically the same as my 1x15 I think.

[quote name='lonestar' post='448078' date='Mar 28 2009, 01:55 PM']They are and you should. I've seen them a couple of times at The Jazz cafe and had a very brief chat with the bass player about Ibanez SR1005's. Top bloke and a great band. I think that Morph the Cat was released a couple of years ago. Walter Becker's Last solo album: Circus Money is pretty good for bass grooves too Welcome to Basschat Pete Academy.[/quote] I [i]quite[/i] like Circus Money but found the backing singers ruined some of the songs, too delicate and all over the place IMO. I agree there are some nice bass grooves on there though, Walter is a superb bassist.

Hi Pete, I heard you guys were really good. I will have to check you out soon. ped

I think Les has finally lost it!

What's the problem with it? Is it the Pensa jazz?

Yep I saw it!

Yeah, for some reason the person who bought it from the gallery changed it for a metal one... ruined it IMO!

Here's one I used to have - the colour in the flesh was very striking! As for your question about pickup distance etc - I would think a thin veneer would be best to allow maximum adjustability. Try putting your pickups right down low and see if it makes a difference at the moment. ped

I used to use a rack pod for my main monitoring system. The DI went to the PA and I had my IEMs coming from the pod to my lugoles. The first time I set it up wrong - plugging in the headphones engages 'studio' mode automatically, adjusting a few things (can't remember what now) and this threw me a bit. After I had it sorted and made myself a live patch which was pretty much clean, it worked brilliantly. So much so that I replaced it with the Roland Vbass which is similar but works better for me, but the end result is the same. With this kind of setup though you can pretty much guarantee your studio sound live - at least in your ears - the rest is up to the soundman. Cheers ped

I Love LeFay basses.. go on, show us some pics!

Love 'em, always have. Definitely 'up my street'. ped

I had a couple of Bacchus basses, you can see more info and pics on my 'My equipment' thread in the porn section. I really liked the basses, the Strong in particular. The 36" scale felt great, no problems with that at all. The bass was really resonant, it had superb growl and the build was superb. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of contour to the body which hurt my arm after a while when playing seated. In every other regard though, it was a top class bass. I had a Twentyfour bass for a while too but didn't like it as much, the bass sounded great but somehow didn't have the feel for me. I didn't get on so well with the alder body. Cheers ped

Stunning!
