    [quote name='mcgraham' post='197354' date='May 12 2008, 06:07 PM']So droll :)


    I found that the blend helped me to vary between a clean 'uneffected' tone

    Yes! I really like that about the BDDI, over the M80. I would have preferred to have been able to turn off the preset 'curve' off, on the distortion of the M80 as well.

    Hey Ash! - Well the BDDI is mainly going to be for my band, whilst recording and demoing. It will be a 'set and leave' plan and I just preferred the 'manual' version for that reason.

    I must admit, I do miss the M80 too. I loved mine, but I was changing my gear lots at the time and decided to sell. Another daft thing I did! lol

    I'm still loving the F1. It makes me smile when I crank it up! - As I have said before it sounds really nice with the Aguilar GS-112. One day, I think I may see if I can have a listen to one or two GS-212s with it!

    Anyway.. yes, the PBDDI is bloomin' fantastic.. and this deal is pretty bloomin' great too!

    Yes, indeedy this is the case. I originally wanted a non-prog BDDI but there unfortunately were none up for sale at the time. So without repeating the above, we are having a li'l swapsies so that I can get my mits on Mark's BDDI. My programmeable BDDI is in excellent condition, boxed with manuals..and yes the plastic bag!!!


    p.s. I love BassChat.. where else can you get this kinda deal eh??

    I am a new subscriber to the 'small box' format. I have to agree, on more than one occasion people have turned their noses up at my li'l amp. They do tend to change their mind when it keeps up with very little effort in a full rock band ;o)

    I think it was the year I was demoing the Yamaha MIDI system - 98? 99?

    Sounds about right Steve. First time I saw ya. Seem to remember you were wearing a fetching sarong type thang? ;o)

    Alesis rack compressor to have secondary use?

    However, you can split the signal using the 3630, if you have a means to blend the signals back together.

    Using the side chain, the 'send' output (which I can't remember if it is 'ring' or 'tip' on the socket pins) will allow you to send an UNCOMPRESSED direct signal out of that channel of the compressor. I used to use this, so I could blend a dry signal with a compressed signal at the mixed inputs of my effects unit.

    you *could* take the send into channel 2 of the compressor, allowing you to have 2 compressors in parallel. One could then feed your effects, whilst the other could simply be used as a gain or balancing stage.. or even a limiter.

    You would just need to be able to mix those signals back up later. A simple passive resistor network *could* suffice, if you were returning the signal to a high impedence 'return'.

    If you are using this method, don't return an effected signal to the side chain, unless you specifically want the compressor to be controled by this signal. (you wont hear your effects by doing this, as it is a control signal only)

    Michael Anthony Yamaha BB3000MA Bass

    For those who are interested, the BB3000 model is the same model as Billy Sheehan's Pink bass with the wide maple neck. I think he got an 'S' instead of an 'MA' on his though!

    I wonder how alike it is to Billy Sheehan's new BB series basses that are hitting the market soon.

    Splitting before my preamp

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I'm just running out the door.. but a thought I would post quickly.. Do try it, however check for 'phasing' issues when the two are combined without effects. Sometimes you can be left with a hollow, muffled, bass less or bass heavy sound in comaprison to the straight A/B'd signals. this is due to the signals being 'out of phase' with each other when you mix them back together. I have found that the worst effect is usually encountered mixing valve preamps with solidstate ones. Or even worse mixing a digital processor in parallel, as most have a good 2-4ms signal delay through the D/A convertors, which also forces the signal out of phase with a direct signal.

    Errrmmm.. all a bit confusing as I haven't explained it a s clearly as I could.. the advice would be to 'suck it and see'.. if it sounds good, then it shouldnt be a problem. It will be down to how you mix the signals and how easily it can be done.

    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='190530' date='May 2 2008, 02:01 PM']J all the way. Can't get along with wide necks...anyone want to buy a Stingray? :)[/quote]


    The neck on my 70's P is almost identical in size to my Fender Jazz neck.


    Neither basses have enough strings tho'! heee heee heeee.

    [edit] unable to vote, as my fave Fender bass would be my '89 Fender power jazz bass special. It's a bit of P and J.

    bass snobbery

    Hmmm.. well, I think I am a bit snobby to an extent. Maybe more because I am VERY fussy about my basses. Very few (if any) off the shelf cater to my needs, so I found that my best option in that case was to go custom.

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate instruments for a nice feel and great tone... oh and a nice lump of wood generally. It's just rare for me to find all the 'magic' on a stock instrument.

    Logic behind your chain?

    in Effects

    Posted

    My chain is simplicty and flexibility..
    The whole thing is racked and cabling is very short indeed.


    Active bass > TC Electronic C300 > TC Gforce > MarkBass F1 > Epifani UL610
    (Multi band/parallel compression > AMAZING limitless effects > clean musical preamp > uber light power amp > stonking air movement and great sounding cab!)

    The Gforce has more effects and routing options than I am ever likely to use and probably why it is the only piece of gear I have never changed in many years of recording and playing. I beleive it is one of the best studio processors out there, still.

    Oh.. and I have a Sansamp on the way!
