Rane are known for great rack gear - I can't imagine this wouldn't sound good on bass considering the amount of control you have over your frequency range.

The Piano hasn't been replaced yet, neither has the Acoustic Drum Kit. Sure we have different ways of making those sounds, but they very much remain. I see no different for all other instruments.. even the violin is still here lol lol

I appreciate it's a desktop, but whilst the discussion is on Macs and upgrading, I had a 27" iMac - I think late 2011 model. It was an i5 Quad core and as mentioned above was a model that could be upgraded. It ended up with a 1Tb Sandisk SSD inside (in addition to the 1Tb drive it came with) and a whopping 32Gb RAM on board. A very impressive machine which given the price they go for secondhand is a great purchase with the upgrades on board. Now I need to be mobile so much more I have a MacBook Pro. It's a late 2013 i7. The RAM can't be upgraded and I certainly miss the 32Gb! - There is a kit to do the SSD and I will get round to that one day, but the 1Tb SSD for the MacBook Pro is very expensive!!

Thank you everyone else too. It’s usually eBay I go to, but the sets I usually grab for a reasonable price weren’t available. Thanks all and a big thank you to Ambient!

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1507578604' post='3386542'] Why can't I find this deal online?! A conspiracy I say! [/quote] PMT, DV247 and Andertons don't appear to be doing the 0% deals at the moment. Well, Andertons do 9 months interest free. Your best bet would be to get a credit card offering the same and set up a monthly payment to it. Cut the card up, give it a responsible adult or hide it, but don't use it for anything else. I have a 27month 0% card that I have done the same with to buy an important piece of kit with. It works out cheaper than any other deal I could possibly find for said piece of hardware.

Can the student clap in time to a metronome?

My usual outlet for strap buttons appears to be out of stock of the black DUAL type I am after. Anyone know a good place to buy just the buttons without horrendous shipping charges?

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1507548041' post='3386180'] ...then show me!!! I hate waiting. [/quote] Ok, so I admit that the delay may well be to do with the fact that trying to get a bit of sunlight around these 'ere parts is proving a little difficult!!

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1507550361' post='3386221'] Lemme guess, Jon's relic'd it for you? [/quote] I think I managed to do that for myself after years of hard gigging!!!

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1507467495' post='3385621'] What's the deal with[i] Line 6[/i] basses, is there any love for them? [/quote] I've not had the chance to play one so I am unable to respond, but the new Line 6 Guitars seem to be well received.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507488223' post='3385829'] 4.Ooooh no!! That is very frustrating for you that the TonePrints settings are getting lost. And seems like it's not possible for bespoke created TonePrints versions such as yours to be backed up on a computer, otherwise I am sure you would have done? Fyi - possibly even a bigger loss to humanity if the original Dood the Dude SnU TonePrint has been lost to bass players for all eternity and all we will be left with are approximations to the original magic, even if the author says they are as good or better, how can we ever know the veracity of such assertions? Maybe something for you to consider reporting to the intergalactic bass players federation (although if this loss is made known to TalkBass, that's pretty much the same thing right)? I did hear word of the IT glitch on the SnU's before (maybe even earlier on in this thread), but I had been led to believe it was a (i) power supply issue and (ii) had been fixed. Seems not. Ok four (sadly) good reasons for sticking with the COG T16 for now... [/quote] Stupidity on my part, I've upgraded my iPad and made sure I had everything I needed before wiping the old one and passed it on. Neeaarrrrrly everything. The only way of getting them back I suppose would be to restore from backup the original iPad and then copy the settings (by screen print it seems) as users settings have no 'cloud' to be saved to. I guess I found another limitation in the app, the hard way. The good news is that creating a new TonePrint isn't going to be that hard I don't think, if you'd seen what is available in the application. It's not like trying to re-write Lord Of The Rings word for word from memory.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507230244' post='3384141'] Ok, dear dood (btw we spell that "dude" in the UK), here's the thing: someone has decided to swap me another delicious dinosaur pedal for my COG T65 and as I'd previously listed my lovely COG T16 (in anticipation of getting the T65) I recklessly promised a struggling bass player in Reading, with no money, my COG T16 for a senslessly low price (I guess I was feeling particularly generous 'cos our East End London pub landlord, where my two bands get regular paid gigs, offerred us a £30 a gig pay rise without us even asking and told us that was the "new going rate" - bless him!) and Reading bassist is busily trying to cobble together the cash by selling some of his other pedals, so I kinda feel duty bound to keep my promise to him (always a good thing to do in life, right?). So...that means I could shortly be without any octave pedal! Now Cameron would historically have said get an Aggie Octamizer, but that would be the FOURTH Aggie pedal on my board and I'd end up being regarded as some sort of inadvertent Aggie groupie, which I'm not. But Cam's swapped his Aggie O for his COG T16 (so he clearly agrees with me that they are the biz!). Dannybuoy would probably recommend a 3Leaf Octavbre mini (which are a snip at £225). However you seem to have reached octaver nirvana with the TC Sub'n'Up: - an octave pedal that tracks down to a low E and below; - with the right Dood toneprint sounds as warm as the best analogue; - can blend in clean; - has minimal latency; - costs just £109 new for the full fat and £98 for the mini. So you've got me tempted! 3 Qs (and apologies I think you recently answered these elsewhere) 1. Can I get the Dood toneprint to work on the mini (I assume "yes" otherwise you wouldn't have bought the mini)? 2. Is there any point getting the full fat version (I assume "no" otherwise you wouldn't have bought the mini)? 3. How the heck can I get hold of the Dood toneprint and get it uploaded onto my Sub'n'up? Is this something you can upload onto a USB and send to me (and I'd cover your costs, including something for your time effort and IP?) [/quote] 1. Sadly it's not possible to share ToePrints with other users, something I would love to see be integrated in to the app at some point. However, by a long drawn out process of screen prints it'd possibly be able to copy what a person has made for themselves. 2. Ah actually yes! The full fat has a switch that allows you to flip between one of two built in programs and your custom Tone Print. There's also an extra knob for the -2 Octave filter, which of course can be reassigned to whatever you want in the TonePrint app. I just needed to go small! 3. All of the settings, except those for the 4th knob are shared between the Full-Fat and the Mini, but again, see 1. for how sharing is a problem right now! 4. I've also discovered that if there's an IT..ehem.. 'mistake', all of those settings get lost. Yup, your custom presets can't be restored from the app if they aren't there and there's no way to extract the tone print from the pedal. (See the TonePrint thread currently open) I will be working on rebuilding the TonePrint as I kinda know what it was. I could probably improve it at the same time.. along with the HyperGravity preset I made too. Live and learn, live and learn...

Sorry, my bad - I bought the LT for 700. Apologies

[quote name='shug' timestamp='1507475911' post='3385712'] It does, and I AM that kind of bassist. Cheers, man, I think you may just have saved me £80. The Dood abides... Shug [/quote] Happy to help! [quote name='shug' timestamp='1507470095' post='3385642'] Or, also on ebay,an Aphex Aural Exciter 104. With Big Bottom. Anybody? [/quote] The Apex is a different beast that uses compression techniques to add depth and low end. I'd say this is a better bet for bassists, but given your gear, I'd hope that the Demeter can 'do' enough that the Aphex wouldn't be needed. I suppose the question is, what is it you are hoping the two items would bring to the party?

So ar, I haven't felt like I am missing out because I have the LT.

Having used them on bass in the past, they seem fairly pointless, especially if you are the kind of bassist who doesn't like tweeters or plays with a mid present tone. Of the two controls, one is the top end processor the other is [i]only[/i] a bass boost at 50hz. That's similar to the bass knob on an amp. They are great for full range material for sure, but that's a lot of hardware just to boost your low end on a bass. Hope that helps.
