  2. Not only the most highly regarded but also bring the 'ugly ducklings' along too. Let's see if there's any surprising results for the underdog!
  3. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1344260957' post='1761833'] Will happily set this up for the next EABB if people will donate amps/cabs to the cause! [/quote] Seriously, lets do this - have a panel of reviewers then post the results on a sticky on BC forever to be referred to. I'm in
  4. I'm a big fan of SVX! It's a great modeller that sounds great in a DAW. Highly recommended.IK Multimedia make great plug ins.
  5. I've just picked up a Zoom B3 and also use a TC Electronic Nova System. To be honest, the B3 is showing itself as a really nice piece of gear - the TC could be up for sale soon. I'll keep just the odd pedal depending on gigs, but I don't own or need a single 'boutique' pedal for any of the gigs I do. Horses for courses, but I'd rather take out a pedal that is easily replaceable that sounds great. I've been looking for an alternative to taking out my Ampeg BSP for ages, I think I've found a couple of cheap boxes that will suffice!

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1343948226' post='1757870'] Glad you're getting lots of enjoyment out of it too! What do you think to the distortions? I haven't found any settings that particularly do it for me yet, but the Bass Muff was impressive! [/quote] [quote name='OmeDunk' timestamp='1343975634' post='1757963'] The distortions are probably going to need an EQ block after them to make the best of them. Funnily, I'd never been a fan of the Big Muff type of distortion, but I did use the Muff distortion at the gig and really liked it! I may use a dedicated pedal for a particular drive type. How about compression? Did you use the on board compressor? [/quote] Yup, I think I was using the DBX model just to pull back the transients in slap. Very tidy, very controlled [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1343976557' post='1757971'] I noticed he put his TC Electronics compressor up for sale the other day, so maybe! I still use my Aguilar at the moment though [/quote] I put the TC up for sale as I was a little short of cash following buying some kit, but realised now I din't need to sell it at all! Oh well! The Nova Dynamics is easily the best fully featured compressor pedal.. And i was daft letting it go. That said, the b3 is more than capable. Im still really impressed.
  7. Wonderful Bass with a new owner. Sad to see it go! Sold.

    I gigged mine for the first time tonight after it arrived earlier this week. Yup, that's right, i gigged it without even a band rehearsal to test it. Set up a bunch of sounds for the set and just prayed it was gonna behave. It did with flying colours! Yeah, i'm really impressed! And i am very fussy! I'm more used to running a TC Electronic GForce!! Crazy money for a bullet proof (and idiot proof) unit. So easy to set up a set of patches and use it like normal stomp boxes. I really hope that the B3 gets the G3 update of six effects at once. It dosnt actually need it, but hey, why not! Colour me happy!
  9. Money has exchanged hands. Sorry folks, this one's on it's way to France.
  10. [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1343871309' post='1756744'] BTW, the entire reason why drivers were placed horizontally in the first place was to accomodate a wide amp, first in combos, then in separates. No consideration was ever given to the dispersion issue because the amp designers weren't aware of it. [/quote] I think that's the answer everyone was actually wanting. Ya know, 'if 4x10s aren't so good, why have them.' I also appreciate that speakers of yore were also not very efficient nor powerful, so multiples of speakers were required to produce the volume. That therefore meant placing them horizontally as well as vertically in to nice neat stackable square boxes.
  11. [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1343839223' post='1756144'] Will slide-rules & measuring tapes be provided alongside the gaffer tape and sticky buns? [/quote] Going wildly off topic, on the way home from rehearsal this evening I stopped off to do some shopping and spotted these really tasty sticky iced buns. I've not bought one for years and years. Childhood even. Then I read this! It's a sign!!! Ermmm.. Of something... Or other,...

    Nope, you can't I'm afriad. just scroll through the lists only,
  13. I would love to see this discussion put in to action. I mean, maybe we should arrange a bass day type meeting with a set of cabinets of different configurations in a room with say a couple of amps and some source material - say, recordings of a Bass guitar that can be repeated for each test. THEN have some techie guinea pigs up front to describe and demonstrate these 'issues' accurately. We'd all be able to have a clear understanding of what these polar problems and phasing problems [b]sound[/b] like. Right?

    [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1343828754' post='1755887'] Ring the shop, ask to speak to the manager tell him your wife bought you the wrong guitar and could he order the correct one for you. Id be amazed if he wouldn't exchange it under those conditions. If your wife bought it online then you are entitled to a full refund. It seems crazy taking a hit on it. [/quote] +1 I believe consumer law also states you have a minimum of 7 days to return an item - some shops even state 14 days for a no quibble return. It was an honest mistake and the bass is pristine as new. Name and shame the shop if they give you any trouble chap!

    [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1343824286' post='1755771'] The scroll-patch buttons, I guess would be fairly easy to mod. I did this to an old Zoom pedal, just opened it up and soldered wires to the bottom of the switch contacts, then routed these to a couple of momentary footswitches. [/quote] Thanks chap! Yup, that appears to be exactly what the YouTube guy had done with the G3 - fitted a socket to the casing and ran a box with a couple of momentary push buttons in. I won't be doing that yet, my pedal only arrived yesterday brand new!

    Ha ha ha!!! Good work
  17. Will upload pictures in a bit, I guess I'm probably going to regret selling this as it's easily the best compressor pedal on the market for features. I'll paste in all the tech details in a bit, but for now - excellent condition, very well looked after. [b]£70 + £5 towards insured mainland shipping[/b] [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/novadynamics.asp"]http://www.tcelectro...ovadynamics.asp[/url] [b] NDY-1 Nova Dynamics Features[/b] FOUR compressor pedals and TWO Noisegate pedals in one unit, infinitely configureable! [list] [*]2 compressor modes: studio (multi-band 3 way) & stomp (full range) [*]Noise gate (frequency dependent) [*]Dual engine design [*]Dry blend – parallel compression (Perfect for bass players) [*]Flexible routing [*]Auto input gain adjustment [*]Precise gain reduction meter [*] [/list] High quality dual engine compression and noise gate made stompbox simple. Packed with never before seen functionalities Nova Dynamics sets new standards to floor-based dynamics control. Its dual engine design offers a variety of setup and control options that allow you to tailor Nova Dynamics to fit your rig. Use the two engines for different compression settings or switch between stomp compression for that classic "squash" and TC's advanced multiband compression for subtle, studio-style dynamics control. You can even split the two engines in Nova Dynamics and have a compressor in front of your amp and noise gate in your amp effects loop for true noise reduction of high gain signals. The Dry Blend feature lets you blend your dry signal in with the compressed signal for optimized attack with no eating into the dynamics while the automatic input gain adjustment on both engines brings perfect settings for e.g. both a Strat and a Les Paul at the flick of a switch.

    76P?????? What's the address! I'll bring biscuits! he he he he! Ok chap, that's no problem! Yup, it's a bit difficult getting out of Predator Country, what with all the grass down the middle of the roads and horse drawn carts that we use for public transport here!
  20. Oh and this is a pre-ebay bump.
  21. Absolutely as new, not a mark on it, never left the house. Got it out of the box - had a brief play, decided I wanted something else! lol Price on first post. This really is a total bargain. Pre- Ebay bump.
