I used to play the ''hook' synth and bass part from "Hard, Better, Faster, Stronger" with a synthy sound on my 6er. You need the high C for the last few notes.. but it sounds GREAT and you have to jump up the neck quickly to catch it on time.

"Turn the output volume control ALL the way up for the best signal to noise ratio" (on the X3) - and don't forget that if the inputs you are using on the behringer are 'line' level, switch the output of the X3 to 'line' not 'amp'. You will get a very hot signal from the X3 (as long as your patches are configured correctly). Use the gain control on the behringer channel to reign in the signal if need be. If your signal is TOO hot and causing the input section of the behringer to distort (as opposed to making the output section of the X3 distort) then you may need to start pulling back the output of the X3 using the volume control. for info, I set the master volume control to *only* set the DI out put and have the 1/4" signal as strong as possible, especially if I have to use long cable runs.

Is there a Big One doing the rounds at the moment Alex?

This is the link to Tom's 1x12 shoot out on his blog. [url="http://bowlusblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/1x12-shootout.html"]http://bowlusblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/1x12-shootout.html[/url] Tom is a top chap and has been so helpful to me in the past. I'd put him on my christmas card list! Dood.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='543565' date='Jul 17 2009, 08:31 PM']Those would be actives... I used them too and they are quite good for the money. I assume he's looking for passives though - although I think those Wharfedales do come that way.[/quote] ah ok passive version then! lol [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/WharfedaleEVPS15MPassiveMonitorinstock/pid12098/cid623/WharfedaleEVPS15MPassiveMonitorinstock.asp?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=pricecomp&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/WharfedaleEVPS1...=GoogleShopping[/url] Cheers, Dood

Found them [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/PAMonitors/pid12096/cid623/WharfedaleEVPX15PMPoweredMonitor.asp"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/PAMonitors/pid1...eredMonitor.asp[/url]

Oh...ermm! I cant remember the model number, but Wharfedale do active wedges with 15" cones. They have an EQ on them as well and differnt types of inputs, such as line and Mic XLR. I plugged a bass directly into one a while back and I have to say the sounds was pretty damn good. The top end I liked as it was polite and didnt get irritating or fatiguing when playing a CD up loud. I would say, for the price they would be on my list if I needed wedges.

Off the back of posts like this, I'm going to build a line driver pedal that will allow the use of normal pedals like the M80 to be used as a preamp. (to boost & control the output up to the right levels to drive a power amp correctly) I've got all the bits, just a matter of getting round to it.. I've even come up with a cool valve version* * I expect a few to come up on the market now lol lol

We should do it again really.[/quote] The first 'Bass Bash' get togethers took place in Northampton and were twice yearly. Unfortunately we haven't had one this year ( or the second one last year) which is a shame as they are a fantastic get together. More regional bashes have been put together as well and they are always a succcess. I'm sure this is down to the flippin great crowd we have here on BassChat. I am really looking forward to another one and it really is the only place to see, hear and try out gear you can only dream of seeing in your local music shop. There should be some bass bash pictures on BassChat somewhere! (Please.. none of me thanks...)

[quote name='Sibob' post='540648' date='Jul 14 2009, 08:06 PM']Newtone, who makes my strings, can cater a set of strings for any tuning you want, any tension/gauge combination. Oh and they're around the same price as a set of Elites/Rotos.....just take 3 weeks to get to you lol Good luck Si[/quote] And they are flippin nice strings too! Even the standard diamond set sound brilliant.

Hi there E Sharp!! That's some lovely lovely gear you have there! - I have indeed replied to your PM, lookin' forward to having a good bass chat with you! Welcome!

[quote name='hookys6stringbass' post='539374' date='Jul 13 2009, 02:34 PM']I found pics of my old Alembic pre amp , really regret selling it ! Anyway I was wondering if there is anyone in basschat land that could build me a copy..... with maybe an effects loop for my noisey old chorus pedal cheers[/quote] If you have no luck there, then I would recommend keeping an eye out for a Trace Elliot V-Type preamp. I would go as far as saying it's an improvement on said design. Infact, why-o-why did I sell my V-Type in the end???!!! Hmmm!!!

You can take a DI feed from the SEND connection to a DI box. This will give you a POST EQ signal that is affected by all the tone, drive and gain controls but not the master volume. You'll have to check if the signal you get at the DI output is strong enough. Alternatively, you can plug your bass durectly into the DI then come out of the Parallel link into the amp. This will mean only your bass sound and not the amp will go to the desk. - One final trick, you can also use the tuner output to drive a DI box. Again, this is the same as plugging directly into the DI box and the amp will not effect the tone. IF you use effects in your effects loop, add the DI box as the last item in the chain so that the desk will pick up your effect sounds too.. for example... BASS>Amp IN Send out> Compressor-Chorus-EQ-DI input then DI Parallel link output> Return in etc etc. The normal balanced DI XLR connector goes to the desk.
