  1. [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1495741797' post='3306318'] That could make the difference. I'd say that if you added a coil tap it's essentially a Lakland 55-02 but half the price. Made in same factory I'd wager. [/quote] I think Cort have upped the game with this one and I am looking to demo the 75JJ or possibly the 75HB that look cracking.
  2. [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1495741038' post='3306309'] I had a GB75 for a couple of years. Upgraded to Aguilar pickups which helped alot. But something just didn't take me. Sounded good flat but preamp really shoddy compared to other brands (massive hiss in treble and bottom end too boomy). I tried for so long to love it but eventually never did so sold it. No regrets. [/quote] I noticed that the preamplifier diagram for the GBxxJJ models on the Cort website is labelled 'Sandberg', which could suggest a suitable upgraded circuit.
  3. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1495735435' post='3306269'] Shameless self promotion!! - Haha, go for it Dood! I might even check your Spotify link [/quote] The Spotify Playlist is a collaborative one so everyone can add to it
  4. Just bumped my thread too
  5. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1495708508' post='3305994'] Seen a great thread recently on the best bass lines with the fewest notes. But what about the best bass line ever, period? (With as many or as few notes as you want!) This gets my vote: [url="https://youtu.be/3dm_5qWWDV8"]https://youtu.be/3dm_5qWWDV8[/url] ...and is definitely on my list of "must have a crack at soon!" Do you agree, or is there anything out there that you think is better? If so, please share your all time favourite (and a YouTube link) with us. I suspect that this is gonna make for some fun, interesting and educational thoughts from my fellow BCs over the bank hol weekend. Looking forward to hearing from you. AK [/quote] Check out the Spotify link in my signature!!
  6. Try one of these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pole-6-35mm-Jack-Socket-to-Socket-Adaptor-/351894083314?hash=item51ee8596f2:g:zZgAAOSwB09YQYKV"]http://www.ebay.co.u...ZgAAOSwB09YQYKV[/url] Connected to a short patch cable to make an extension lead. Being a mono coupler and a mono patch cable, I think it may alleviate the problem. Relay goes in to the coupler, patch cable goes to active bass.
  7. A seamless transaction from a trusted BassChatter! Thanks chap
  8. [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1495703545' post='3305933'] Mmmmm interesting... Looks like the front end of my SVT 5 Pro. This will sound monstrous. The deep clean combined with a bit of "Hair" is divine.. [/quote] It is! And yes they do! The BSP formed the 'front end' of my gear for many years indeed and given that these are rare and an absolutely treat, the price is very good indeed too!
  9. I *could* tell you that the GB74JJ is a [i]brilliant[/i] bass for the money, but then, you wouldn't wait until my full review coming up of it... I love what they have done over the old GB models. Some nice upgrades there.
  10. [quote name='nickmew' timestamp='1495603300' post='3305150'] Oh the usual, a bitterly fought divorce settlement, probably cost twice as much in lawyers fees sorting out visiting rights [/quote] I ought to save a couple from that!! - It looks like I'll have to withdraw it from BassChat, a few interest people but no solid offers.
  11. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1495608766' post='3305170'] ..... {snip} What you think? [/quote] I'm taking this a possible step further, leave it with me as I have been working on an idea for the last few months and this thread has had me thinking I may return to it. I've found a few things online today that have my interest!
  12. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1495581310' post='3305119'] You probably know that I have this system with the T1s. It's really good - however, I still think that the actual inears are somewhat lacking for bass players. Their ethos is not to include the double low... and in reality, as a bass player, we really need the headroom in that department. So I have to say, I always find my ACS a little disappointing in that department. As for the microphones - again, good - as long as you are not in a loud band. Even with the pad engaged on the ambient pack, if the SPL in your environment is too loud, the inears will massively distort. [/quote] I'll come back to the rest of the post later as I must dash, but I wanted to ask if you have tried the 5 driver system as well as the T1? Also intrigued about the distortion. I'm looking online for other reviews with the issue. Would you know where would be a good place to find feedback regarding the Live! system?
  13. Just a quick question, have you tried an entirely different power supply for the wireless receiver? Many users of certain wireless systems have had to use isolated power supplies (especially with other effects pedals daisy chained in) because of "digital noise" making it's way to the amplifier.
  14. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1495227336' post='3302385'] I still wantttt this. Need the Thumb sold before I can consider it further! How does the maple compare to wenge, the obvious? I.e. Brighter, snappier [/quote] [quote name='nickmew' timestamp='1495566390' post='3304942'] Kev, think you're based in the Leamington area like me, maybe we could go halves? 😀 [/quote] Time share sounds pretty good!
  15. As seen here: https://www.acscustom.com/uk/products/in-ear-monitors/live-series Would like to hear from users of the system please! Reviews and any thoughts. That would also include users of the T1, T2 and T3 Live! Systems too.

  17. [quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1495472697' post='3303995'] If I wait a few days it will be free! Joking aside I had a play with this the other day and it's a great piece of kit. The flight case also has room for additional pedals to be routed in and switched from the main board. Very very nice and you will not be disappointed! [/quote] Thank you Andy! Awesome! Please share with band mates, especially Guitarists as this unit will take care of effects, switching of external pedals, preamp and amplifier channels and external MIDI control. Dedicated floor board, or use as a separate rack unit to hold all the pedals and have just the controller on the floor. Silly money for an as new top notch effects unit made for the road. (This is no toy!!) PM me re: price, I have to sell, so will discuss, especially as I'd rather have this collected.
  18. [quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1495541657' post='3304563'] I use one with my jamman express. I needed a small/cheap looper that syncs to midi for the start of my chain, and this was the only solution I could find. Makes the jamman lime actually useable for me (just imo). [/quote] The problem I had was that I really wanted to mount all of my pedals in a rack and still have access to even basic looping functionality. My board at my feet being a MIDI controller of sorts meant that I'd still have a looper out in front of me completely negating the plan to have less cables running around my feet. Maybe this would have been the solution. All of the gigs I've played recently have been possible without a pedal board but in the future I'll get something together; if the looper is on the board then I expect I'll be looking at the SyncMan too!
  19. [quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1495488709' post='3304224'] If it's one of the jamman that uses jamsync, there's a box you can buy called a syncman that will sync it up to midi. [/quote] Whaaaaaa? I had no idea! I have the XT solo with the sync connectors. I must go check this out! THANKS!
  20. [quote name='NickD' timestamp='1495460612' post='3303884'] JamMan Stereo... It does, it only bloody does! I'm on it, Cheers! [/quote] Yessssssssssssssssssssss! That's great. I started questioning my memory afterward, so I am very pleased we have a result!
  21. I enjoyed that way more than I was expecting! What a great way to take boring ole slap bass! It has given me some great ideas (sadly not including a 12 string bass... yet!)
  22. [quote name='three' timestamp='1495445756' post='3303702'] I can't comment on the HDNs but recently started to use a HD 210 as part of a heavy-weight system (following years of lightweight gear, I came round to thinking that there's something missing, especially in commercial class D - just my opinion of course, and based on my own needs and preferences). The Berg cab was a complete revelation. Miles away from anything that I'd used previously (and I've had some very high cabs and drivers). Beautifully constructed, tonally magnificent - clear, transparent, fast, punchy and deep - and if it matters, aesthetically very pleasing. I can't imagine that any of Berg's cabs involve much in the way of compromise. I'd love to try this HDN but I know that I'd just have to have it! [/quote] Thank you Three! I can only agree. There's not a Berg I've tried that I didn't like and this one is no different. This one is pending sale now, off to a new home soon.
  23. [quote name='NickD' timestamp='1495459399' post='3303870'] Great stuff, I'll have a look into that. If I can keep it simple, just feet and fingers, I'm all over it. I know it works for some and the results are more controllable, but I don't want to be relying on software and faffing about. I want it to be simple, so we can just play, but obviously I'd like us to be in synch. Many thanks! [/quote] I'm pretty sure there will be other possibilities too and expect that somewhere out there will be something that will fit the bill perfectly
  24. [quote name='NickD' timestamp='1495458548' post='3303863'] Thanks Dan! I feared that would be the case, and I don't think I can be bothered with that. I do have an interface with which I use Cubase, but I can't see me ever taking that kind of setup to a gig. I was hoping that a click output was a feature I'd missed when browsing for loopers, then a little mixer to split it. Ah well, back to the drawing board. [/quote] Fear not, I mean the Digitech loopers do have a click track on board and I think the Stereo Looper they do will allow you to send a click to a separate output. I'm pretty sure of that anyway!!
