  1. I'm selling my XL and I bought it used and more as a backup for bass and guitar, but isn't needed and I prefer pedals, despite the ease of use.

    You know what it does and I found the extra switches really helpful, especially if setting it up as a pedalboard, but there's so much more it can do.

     

    No scratches, USB cable and main box fine but the outer sleeve box has a slight rip which will not spoil your playing experience.

     

    Drop us a DM if interested and this is my first sale on here but I've been here for a few years, been to a couple of BassFests and I'm best pals with Cetera (Gary) and known to a few other heavyweights here and so buy with confidence.

    PPG preferred and will be sent Special Delivery (No Trades)

     

    Cheers,

    Cos

  2. Very sad news and along with Cetera (Gary), we were lucky to catch a scaled down Cloudbusting gig at The Half Moon, Putney where he got up and played but also regaled us of KB stories and he chatted to us.

     

    Such an integral part of KB's sound and success and much more on the personal side of things plus a great player.

  3. It was a Grand Day out and I hope you good folks who attended got home safely as the rains and stormy weather came down just as we left.

     

    Thanks to all involved in organising the day @Hamster@cetera Mrs.Hamster etc and I loved Ian King's chat. What a great, solid and versatile player and it was great to get an insight into pit playing.

     

    Thanks to all who allowed me to get my Greek mits on your wonderful gear. It was certainly something to hear @Merton new Trace Eliott head and the basses in that corner ? ACGs and thanks to @Simon Cfor letting me try the Laney 85 Octaver - it's a cracker, as well @prowla EBS Octabass (original) and sorry I didn't see you Paul to say goodbye.

     

    Right. Off to look at Ebay and Reverb to look for an EBS Octabass..anyone?

     

    All the best

    Likewise I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.  I have a Laney “85” that you are welcome to have a go with.  It does up and down.  I’m not sure how far it tracks down, but I recall playing one song with either and F or F# and the sound tech said it was fine with my fretless.  The other one I tried that you haven’t mentioned that might fit the bill for you is an EBS Octabass.  You can tell it whether you want to track high or low registers - I guess it does some algorithm adjustment.  That may fit the bill and it does sound good.  Unfortunately I don’t have one for you to try.

    Cheers Simon

  5. Hi All,

     

    I'm looking forward to tomorrow and seeing and hearing you good folk.

     

    One thing I'm particularly interested in, and it's eluded me so far, is a good octaver. I've had the Boss OC-2, 3 & 5, the Aguilar and tried the famed Pearl, the TC Sub and MXR but they're not doing it for me. Think Tony Levin on 'Sledgehammer' or Guy Pratt on some Floyd stuff or Pino, which are probably all OC-2s but I need better tracking and lower range.

     

    Anyone bringing anything along tomorrow that fits the bill, let me know and I'll seek you out as well as anyone with a decent budget fretless.

     

    See you anon and safe journey.

  7. Hi everyone,

    I couldn't find a post on these and so I wanted to give you the heads up on them.

    A friend of mine is now the UK distributor for these and they're designed to work with modellers *(Helix, Kemper etc) - https://www.clearsoundmusic.co.uk/

     I've heard the modellers mentioned being used with Atomic Cabs, RCFs, DRXs etc and they were ok, but I still thought there was something missing i.e. that real amp feel and response.

    Well, last week, I had a full day in the studio with one of the powered cabs and a Helix, Kemper and my own guitar and bass amps on hand for comparison. I was really impressed with the sound, response, clarity and clout with both bass and guitar when we put the respective modellers through the Red Sound and it sounded like an amp and it was a different experience to when I heard them previously through the other cabs, particularly the very good DRXs. On this occasion, it sounded almost 3D-like and not directional at all and the sound dispersion is excellent. The Helix through one of these was particularly impressive (that Cougar bass amp model is damn good)!

    As it matched, and surpassed in some instances, my own amps, I might be ready to dip my toe into the World of Modelling, but not fully yet. I figure a Helix Stomp is a great place to start as I can put it on my board, integrate it and have it replacing my delay, modulation and other fx. However, it then offers an amp backup, too but also a chance to start trying/using it as my amp for bass and guitar, and I understand there's quite a few Stomp owners and users on here who rate it. That's when the Red Sound will come into play.

    Seriously, this is an impressive bit of kit where I could hear the difference from the 'rest of the herd'. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Peter at Clear Sound and mention me (Cos) and that you're from the BassChat ;)

    Thanks

     

  8. Mint condition, no box but will be well packaged.

    A really useful pedal that has different applications e.g. plumb in an old school/vinatge pedal that might mess with your FX chain, like a Mutron, Boss CE-2 etc OR use it like a Boss Line Selecter or Gigrig Quartermaster.

    Works, too, without 9V power, if you don't want the lights as indicators.

    No trades and PPG £50 including Special Delivery

  9. Yes, when I had my Zoom B3, I quite liked the comps in that but I'm looking to put together a small board of bespoke, individual pedals and so I'm curious.

  10. What compressors do people favour on bass?

    I use a Keeley 2 knob on guitar but it didn't work very well on bass. I've heard good things about the TC Spectracomp Bass Compressor and the Wampler Ego gets great reviews for guitar, which I'm actually thinking of getting the Mini one for,  but is it any good on bass? And what about the Xotic SP Comp?

    Thanks

  11. Superb, genius band, fantastic music and I'd throw in Fagen's solo albums, too. Becker's were ok, a little more poppy and angular, but put those styles together and you have Steely Dan.

    I've seen them a couple of times, including shortly after Becker passed away and that was a good bill with the excellent Doobie Brothers, but these days, I tend to go and watch the SD tribute bands, like Nearly Dan and the fabulous Stanley Dee.

    Enjoy the gig for whoever's going and it's a nostalgia trip. Looks like it might still be 'Ready' Freddie Washington (of Forget me Nots fame) on bass.

    Still with them yes, six years now, longest I've been with any band. All over the country, really enjoying it. In fact we've just released the dates for the first half of 2019 then over the water in the second half of the year. Bring 'em on! Thanks for the mention :)

     

    Cloudbusting are great and we caught them last week at The Half Moon, Putney where they were in fine form. We also spoke to you after the gig, Dave and lovely to meet you @sprocketflup.

    C'mon, how many people in a tribute band can say that their dep is the Real McCoy, in this case, Del Palmer!!
