    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1339599340' post='1691239'] Actually are there any good rack distortions? I might start a rack instead of a pedalboard when I get looking properly [/quote] For Bass? Very limited! SWR's Interstellar Overdrive and Ampeg's SVP-BSP come to mind and maybe the odd 'one off' where pedals have been installed in to a rack, but not much else? Rat had a Juggernaut rack I think too? Maybe I'm imagining that though. The other option is to buy a guitar rack preamp or the usual line 6 / Boss type modelling kit instead. - But then we're back to amp sims which may or may not be desirable.

    TC Electronic do great effects racks. Amongst the best for the semi-pro and pro musician. I recommend the TC Electronic G Major 2 and it's big brother the G Force. You will need a separate MIDI foot controller to change patches / effects etc. I love these because they don't have any distortions or amp sims on. You can rely on your amp's natural tone and use the G Major 2 to switch channels on your amp for you. I've owned both and now have downsized. I am using a TC Electronic Nova System. Failing that, the ole Lexicon MPX G2 is a good find on eBay. It looks like everything else somehow has to have a million amp sims and rubbish distortions on them! I've not yet found one I *really* like, though the Line6 X3 and Boss GT10B units that I had were not bad when you spent a lot of time with them.

    I recall someone telling me an amp 'sounded too digital' recently. What they meant, although not really knowing how to explain it,was that it's flat response (that it is known for) sounded uncoloured and lacking in the peaks and troughs of boosted lows and scooped mids of other heavily EQ'd amplifiers, thus in comparison less exciting to the ear. Funnily it was a D-Class amplifier and one of my little pet-peeves is people calling them digital. Grr!

    My video of the review of the MB800 came out today in iGuitar. The magazine is free to read: http://licklibrary.ceros.com/iguitarmag/issue-10-eddie-van-halen-iguitar/issue10/page/186 That's a really great amp!

    SOLD! MarkBass F1 still left for sale.

    Hi! I'm afraid he's only interested in a straight sale. I'd be happy to pass any price offers to him too. Dooood p.s. - In case I miss any replies, please PM me too!
  7. Dood
    Yes, I do travel quite a lot. Especially Romford and Kent atthe moment. However I have two in the queue who want to see the Bass tomorrow. I will update to let you all know if it's still here after then. I guess it's unlikely judging by the interest!
  8. Dood
    Cheers Stag yup, a bargain to be had! Jonsebass, thank you but this is just a sale, though i'm trying to select a distortion pedal I'd like!

    I'll risk it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29MH_Ys91zQ&sns=em Ok, so this song was usually played on a 6er back when I played with this band in 2000. Bass is 'in' the mix so you will need decent speakers or decent earphones. I try to be tasteful and not walk all over everything else. The main motif of the song is a hypnotic root-5th-Octave tap, but playing the part in octaves with both hands on the board. Used to sound amazing through FOH with subs the rest is just chords in the bass line and the mid section is an octave tap. Though for some reason, you can't hear the fourth note per round lol! Bizarre!

    Rumbled Paul!! Maybe this time I'll have learnt my lesson ey!! Good grief I have indeed had a lot of gear pass through my mits. The Epifani UL610 was indeed a beautiful piece of kit! Do you still have it? I think I'm a sucker for a cab that can shift air! This XL612 has a lot in common tonally with the pair of ND410s cabs I had ( Tech Soundsystems) . I guess i missed those alot and when Mick advertised this one at such a good price, I couldn't resist! I rather like the 12" speakers. It looks like a right beast!
  11. Dood
    Thanks Kev! It's a great bass with a really good 'B'!
  12. Dood
    Hey John! It was a pleasure to talk to you again after such a long time, yup sir! You're in first! Sale Pending!

    [url="http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/82000022/Images/34/STB-GT5_SBK_0003.jpg"]http://images.channe...T5_SBK_0003.jpg[/url] I bought this Bass a while back with the sole intention of using for workshops, but the poor thing has remained pretty much untouched for months. So, I'm going to let it go as a bit of a clear out. Bolt On Maple neck w/ Maple fretboard with MOP-like block inlays, flame Maple top under a burst finish. MM pickup and active two band preamp with bass and treble cut/boost. Quick release battery compartment. Individual monorail quick-release bridge pieces. I'm based in Norwich and if you collect, you can have this bass for a total crazy bargain of just £100! now, it has a ding or few on it, that I will photograph for you and that's really the only reason for letting it go so cheap. A great 'spare' bass. It does a fantastic MM impression at a fraction of the price! Pictures coming up. Also selling a MarkBass F1 and a Hartke 4.5XL, both stupidly cheap!

    Hi all! It's time for a clear out at Dood Towers and I am swapping some bits in and out. It's an opportunity to grab a bargain! I have a pair of Hartke 4.5 XL cabs and really only need one for the majority of stuff I am doing. I'm therefore letting this one go. I've had the 1/4" jacks and plastic cover upgraded to a nice metal plate with two speakon connectors. I have also fitted four high quality 100mm rubber wheels to the cab too, for ease of transportation. The 4.5XL cab is probably my all time fave cabinet.. But I also favour having space at my rather compact and bijou abode!!! I'd suggest collection, or we can meet for petrol money. I'm based in Norwich. The cab has been used and shows sign of,, so it's certainly not 'as new' hence the ridiculously low price. £110 Why not grab my MarkBass F1 and Aria GT5 at the same time for a really cheap rig! Pictures to come! Details: http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/cabinets/xl-cabinets/4.5xl/ Internet pic : http://img.etonals.com/p/300/EM_HCX45.jpg

    I have a very strong feeling this one won't be leaving the flock! It works really well with the Hartke Kilo ( and the GK MB800 for that matter!) I'm actually gonna let one of my Hartke 4.5XL's go! Thanks again Mick. This is a great great cab.

    Seeing this thread resurrected has me grabbing my red PJBS off the hook for a quite shred! Ahhhh, Such a cool bass.

    [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1330964111' post='1565441'] Just finished a call with Jon and placed an order for a custom Uberhorn 5 string! .... Much respect and appreciation to Dood for helping me get this build off the ground. You're a legend bud! [/quote] YAY!! Awesome! Love the spec It's an absolute pleasure! - No problem at all. Great chatting with you mate! If anyone is thinking about going 'Shuker', I'm more than happy to discuss options as I have a hotline to Jon too! heh.
  18. Dood
    Congrats Higgie! I love the look of your other Shuker Jazz. This one is going to be pretty damn tasty too, I am sure! Jon is up there with the very best. I reckon he's UK's finest.
  19. Dood
    And another in the wrong place.. I'll move it.
  20. Dood
    Wrong place chap! - I'll move your post.
  21. Dood
    I'll move it....
  22. Dood
    I'd actually love this! Do you take body parts as payment??! - No? Darrrrrrrn!
  23. Dood
    I know I'm going to sound biased, but there's a local band here in Norwich I know and the bass player uses a P bass in to the combo version of the Hartke stack you have pictured above.The VX3500. It sounds so cool!

    Hartke Advice

    Dood replied to Tenty's topic in Amps and Cabs

    The Hartke 4.5XL is one of my all time favourite cabs! The 3500 is a really good match for it too. A mate of mine used that very rig for years. As it happens, I'm thinking of letting one of my 4.5XLs go as I don't need so many at the moment. - I've upgraded my cabinets to use Speakon connectors too!

    ^^^ what he says! - They even come with YouTube software, but I haven't used that specifically to upload with.
