Higgie

Added some new videos to my [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/Higgie1423"]Channel![/url] Aeroplane, Show Me Your Soul, and Mellowship Slinky in B Major by the Chili Peppers, and Rosanna by Toto! Here's a little taster Any comments/crits much appreciated. Cheers

You could definitely fit the Xerograph on there. Just have to bunch some pedals a bit closer to each other. It seems all the pedals on the bottom row have jacks on the top of the pedal, so just move everything to the right, and have everything up against eachother. I reckon you'd get the Xero on then! Quality board by the way, very nice indeed.

I bought the Mini Chorus with Deep mod, wasn't using it so I sold it. Then regretted it and waited ages for another one. I kept missing them, so finally settled on the normal size Chorus with the 3 way switch. Then another Mini came up so I sold the normal sized one to buy the Mini Chorus with Deep Mod again! Nothing wrong with the big box one, just needed more pedalboard space at the time! Seriously, go AnalogMan. Best Chorus pedal for Bass that I've found.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1228300' date='May 12 2011, 12:29 AM']Well, I have been after an unlined fretless Musicman Stingray in Tobacco Burst with a black pickguard for some time. Couldn't locate one anywhere in that spec, so had one ordered in the next Ernie Ball production run. Order was placed Feb 15th and I received the UPS tracking details today with an anticipated delivery date for 16th May - yippee!!! I'll post some pics when it turns up safe and sound.[/quote] Awesome news Kev. Finally getting an authentic "Pino" bass eh? 3 band or 2 band EQ?

Had a request for this via PM. Not perfect I don't think, as I did it quickly quite a while ago, but should give you more than a head start!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1227181' date='May 11 2011, 09:46 AM']I'm surprised at your thoughts on the XXL. I've not tried it personally (my gf promised me one for christmas but it still hasn't appeared ) but when I spoke to the guy from Karnivool he said it didn't require a clean blend as the pedal didn't cut any low end. Are you using the guitar or bass version?[/quote] +1. Both Bass XXLs I've had were massively low end friendly.

[quote name='badgerific' post='1225660' date='May 9 2011, 10:31 PM']I don't have any spare at the moment, you might be better off ordering from musikding.de, it's a german site but I usually get my stuff in a week from there and i think they offer pre-drilled cases now as well.[/quote] Awesome thanks for the heads up! I'll check them out.

Does anyone have a 1290 size enclosure spare that they could sell? Preferably pre-drilled for 3 knobs, footswitch, input, output, 9vdc and led? It'd be a great help rather than having to wait and order something in from the States Cheers

[quote name='dood' post='1219284' date='May 3 2011, 10:26 PM']Thanks for the information Higgie! - I'd never thought about 'DC Pump' before and usually stuck with separate PSU's. That'll lighten the rack unit a bit![/quote] No problem Dood!

That is gorgeous. Always wanted a PJ fretless...and that one is the real deal! Congrats on a lovely bass.

WDMusic is your best bet I reckon. Although I emailed them with a query and they didn't even reply

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1217003' date='May 1 2011, 10:43 PM']4 = square (wave) , good call i've tried other octavers (the aguilar is more natural) but nothing beats an oc-2, so far..[/quote] I find the Aguilar to get really OC-2ish when you roll the octave filter to the right for the more growly synthy tone. It's more natural on the left side of the knob, but on the right it's just down right filthy!

Yup - Had one myself. It isolates that one output of the Daisy Chain and then doubles the voltage to give you an 18v supply for just one pedal. Great little unit.

Done!

[quote name='Rich' post='1203416' date='Apr 18 2011, 11:27 AM']When our beloved OldGit had his Shuker P5 built, he had the LED switch housed in the battery box surround on the back. OK so it meant that you had to take the bass off to switch them on/off, but that's when you do it anyway, right? It was a neat idea and kept the front of the bass clean. Another idea possibly worth pursuing... how about having a push/pull switch on the volume knob and using this as your ac/pas switch? That's what Jon did for my LED switch. If you had a push/pull and the OldGit LED switch idea, you'd only need to find space for one actual flick switch on the front of the bass. Much cleaner.[/quote] That's what I'd do. I'd probably use another of the knobs as a push/pull for the LEDs though, that way everything would be easy to access on the front of the bass. Volume and Active/Passive on one knob, Balance, Bass, and then Push/Pull on the Treble pot to turn the LED's on. Well, depending on which knob would be furthest away. I personally would use layout 2, and have the kill switch in the middle somewhere, if you're just going to use it to mute the Bass. I'd relocate it if you were going for some Tom Morello style kill switch madness

I had this problem too. Switched the Pickup out for a Nordstrand MM4.2 - Problem solved! It's a faithful recreation of a Pre-EB Stingray pickup, and I must say it sounds fantastic! So much so, that as soon as I bought my fretless, I didn't even try it with the stock pickup. I'd bought another pickup before the bass even arrived, and just had it put straight in. No regrets whatsoever

[quote name='mcnach' post='1198854' date='Apr 13 2011, 10:42 PM']yes, the Bassballs alone can sometimes lose a bit of "bassiness". The micro Q-tron alone can be a bit too loud... So I have them both in a loop with a Boss LS-2. This allows me 1) to adjust the final volume, and 2) to blend the effected signal with the dry signal. To my ears the result is very good. I was not really intending to replicate the SPS sound, but I thought it sounded close, so I then fiddled with it until I got the sound I wanted.[/quote] Awesome - Sounds good dude! Look forward to hearing it. I'm not much of a guitar player, but I thought I'd try and do a fully fledged cover of the track, seeing as I had the Bass and Drums done already: [url="http://soundcloud.com/higgie142/sir-psycho-sexy-guitar-wip"]Sir Psycho Sexy WIP[/url] Comments and criticisms welcomed

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1196067' date='Apr 11 2011, 06:43 PM']All good Higgie. If the drum beat was a bit slower it'd be more dubstep… the beat is pretty close. I like the bass line, has a funk rock feel to it.[/quote] Cheers Shep - I must admit I'm a massive newbie in this area, so it's encouraging to hear that from you I listened to your stuff the other day - "Awesome" doesn't come close! [quote name='DanOwens' post='1196275' date='Apr 11 2011, 09:50 PM']Also, Higgie, I should say that I like it! [/quote] Haha, thanks for clarifying Dan

[quote name='mcnach' post='1198513' date='Apr 13 2011, 06:38 PM']that's sweet indeed! I should post my results with the micro Q-tron + bassballs combo. Not to compete! just to add another flavour.[/quote] Cheers Yeah would be great to hear! I used to have a BassBalls and it did do this kind of sound good, but I just found it lost a bit of low end. Still very interested to hear it!
