The B3 and MS60B FX Pedals. Also on review is the Fender Cabronita Precision, Matrix Audio 1600GT Power Amp and the Fret-King Black Label Esprit 1 Bass Guitar.

Guys! (And gals!) - I've just had word that I am reviewing one of these in a coupla weeks or so for Guitar Interactive Magazine! - iGuitarMag.com

Any more examples?

Yup, I really like the Pacifica too but I'd also recommend the Cort guitars too.

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1382978817' post='2258712'] Set lists should be written out on A4 in black marker pen... Its the law.. [/quote] Yeah, that's true! I'm not signing my iPad for a groupie to take away and hang on their bedroom wall!

[quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1382809010' post='2256858'] Out of the two I'd vote focusrite. Roland's quadcapture is good too though! [/quote] Roland's Quad Capture and the newer ipad friendly model are both exceptional. I chose the Roland in the end as the drivers are rock solid and the end to end latency of the units is superbly miniscule. For critical listening, it has been suggested that the Focusrite kit preamps colour the sound, but I don't really think it'll be an issue here.

I'm looking online for a list of well known songs that feature a (preferably bass) riff or phrase that illustrates the sound of each of the major scale modes. I thought I'd throw it out to BassChat for a list of suggestions! I look forward to hearing back!

Woop! Thank you

I can't see a session artist or pro buying in to that. I don't I'm afraid. I dunno, maybe a plumber *would* pay to go repair Brian May's boiler???

Hey! Hi all, well - I thought it might be a good time to share what I've been doing recently since all of you have been sharing your superb musical exploits! I've recently finished recording an EP with the brilliant Amadeus Awad, a guitarist and composer from Beirut. Also on board in the band is Elia Monsef, a producer and singer as well as keyboard player and programmer Danny Bou-Maroun. These guys are all amazing, but we've also recruited Porcupine Tree's drumsmith Gavin Harrison who has been brilliant. We're all really proud of the results - and this is just the start of something cool I think. I've linked up to the tracks and to some sites talking about the release as well as where to get hold of the digital version of the EP. I hope you enjoy it and of course welcome your thoughts! The creation of the EP was actually a really fast turn around. I wrote all the bass parts and in some cases had such a bare framework to work with, a lot of the chord changes have been heavily influenced by my chord tone choices. Something that we were all really pleased with. It became a very cohesive project that we all really enjoyed dipping ideas in to. It was a great exercise in using a variety of techniques, such as 'multi-finger tapping' BUT no shredding or overplaying for me!! That's what I have loved the most: Stretching my musical palette yet staying in that all important pocket.

If you want to go for the full Pino effect with chorus in there too, look no further than the Zoom MS-60B. The octaver effects are really good.

Oh and on the subject of pedals - There's a Catalinbread SFT for sale on BC too. I've not tried one myself, but apparently they do a good job of adding some grind to bass! (I appreciate you are asking for a 1u preamp, but I thought I'd offer options!)

I guess if you wanted a smaller form factor then hooking up say a DarkGlass BxK or Vintage pedal to any other preamp would give you some Grrrrrr

Cheers for the updates - I'm well versed in Nolly's set up already which is cool. I've reviewed the B3K and Vintage pedals, a superb Dingwall 6er and a prototype F# Dingwall brought over for me by Sheldon Dingwall himself. The guys have discussed their reasons for live backline again which is cool and I have to say I agree and a reason why I like a rig behind me too. The Matrix GT I have and it really is superb. Really, the only thing I've not been able to do, is get my hands on the AxeFX to demo. I mean, they do wanna sell these things right? Lol i'm after basschatters personal experiences with the unit - but it seems no one has one! Maybe we're far too sensible to splooge such "crazy money" on a processor?

Unfortunately the Hydrive range doesn't include a 2x10, only the current XL range. If you're not going for a 4x10 then maybe the Hydrive single 15?
