    Boss SY-1

    Woodinblack replied to Woodinblack's topic in Effects

    Yep, it is hugely fun, and one of the most fun things of it is its immediacy, you turn a knob it makes a new noise, you work with that noise. Its not something that would work that well with an editor I don't think. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have presets, but the balance they have managed is pretty good.

    Always love the Ska songs in our set - we do monkey man, more specials than toots, and always much faster than that even if we try. A lot of our songs end up getting a bit ska'd from time to time. We do the reel big fish brown eyed girl and 'party like its' version of timber. We are generally a conflict of people who want to play different things. I hadn't heard 5, sounds a good one to try. My normal favourite is Impression I get from a bass playing point of view. I want to do madness stuff but apparently our sax player has the wrong type of sax!

    Not that far!

    I have had a few like that. No, you don't automatically get a make offer button, you have to select that. If I do it, I add an auto accept and auto decline price. If there is a best offer price it seems wrong to pay the full price. If I put something up for £250, I would probably put an auto accept at £240 and an auto-decline at £200, the rest will depend on the person making the offer.

    You do know you can switch that off right?
  6. Woodinblack
    Yes, there are some questions you forget to ask because you think they would be obvious to everyone.

    When I started playing everyone had that strap. Now its only half of everyone!

    Oh yes, we were doing an outdoor event outside a pub and they asked us if we could use a generator, so we said yes as long as it matched the given spec, which the guitarist provided. We turned up, and there was a tiny little generator that could probably just power a TV. So we ran a cable from the pubs shed.

    Yay, just when I advertised my BG-100! Oh well, they don't' have one of those

    Every outdoor wedding gig in a tent or the current trend - Teepees have been on ground at such an angle it is a pain to stop the drum kit falling over. Not a great fan of them. We played an Irish birthday party in a field a few weeks ago (was a bit nervous of that one but it was pretty good), the stage was made of a series of trailers with wood on the top, but they had actually dug it into the ground so much it was dead level (as long as you didn't fall into one of the gaps). Oh we played in a barn once on the back of a trailer that had a slight incline, but that was lucky as it was pissing down outside and barns are not exactly that watertight so it meant the water landed on the high side of the trailer, ran down the back and went off the side without going in the amps - result!

    Instruments would come into the hotel room with me.

    Probably didn't want anyone nicking it.

    Phil Jones Bass Cub - BG100 in great condition, ie, pretty well as new. Complete with case, strap (unused), lead, bag, documentation etc. Got this earlier in the year at a bass bash but have just used it for practice since. I have now got a bose battery PA which I am using for the same thing so this is sitting not being used. Its a great thing for playing at home or in quieter or acoustic gigs, or round a friends house, but it won't keep up with an enthusiastic drummer obviously. Its 100 watts. Would rather not post it because I am terribly lazy, but if needs must I will do! Happy to drive it anywhere 50 miles of yeovil, or to meet somewhere. Sexy reclining on a chair pose: Full Frontal - note the little spring loaded leg at the front. Stripping down to show off a fine pair of 5 inchers.. Taunting from within the bag A nice shot of the rear end - note the white patches are glare rather than dirt or dust. Full on control panel. 2 types of input for Mic / Bass, inc a combined XLR / Jack on the guitar side and a switch for lower level. Level / Bass / mid / treble for both channels, a limiter with level, an ipod style input (lead included), headphone and master volume.

    Well, there was only one bass I bought new as I wasn't able to find a second hand one in that colour:
  15. Woodinblack
    All bar 2 of mine were used, but I chose the colour of all of my them by buying them. Wouldn't buy a bass I didnt like the colour of unless there was something exceptional about it

    I had a 5 string short scale messinger, and that didn't get farty even on the B, that was with newtone strings.
  17. Woodinblack
    There are a few around though
  18. Woodinblack
    Get what you were going to get, you are almost certainly going to be happy with it and then you can worry about playing it rather than working out what to get.
  19. Woodinblack
    I was going to get a 306, there were 2 second hand ones on richtone and andertons, but I dithered about for a while and they both went. I don't need a 6 but I could have probably used one!
  20. Woodinblack
    That gave up thing wouldn't have happened in our band!

    Never had any of that, solid as a rock as any Ibanez I have had. In fact, the only think i ever had that with was a fender jazz. I used to wonder why people said about necks moving. I suppose if you lived in arizona or something it might be different. Newtones do 34" scale guitar strings, and d'dario strings are over 40" so generally long enough for a bass scale - I know as I have looked for the chapman stick, which is actually more than 34" scale with strings from 0.008 to 0.130, as it goes from the D just below guitar high E to the C just above 5 string B (other tunings are available).

    Double post

    Stability? In what way? Well, dumb question from me I guess, no, I never had any mechanical problems with the GVB, it was really solid. I must say it was still one of my favourite colours too.
  24. Woodinblack
    I have had that several times on here, its just the way it is with some people
  25. Woodinblack
    They are the same only the 1006 is just hand carved by Japanese nuns.
