Raslee

Cheers guys, i'm sorted for now with my man Higgie on the case...big thanks for the offer. If i need more i'll be sure to be in touch. Merry Bassmas

Ooola, I need several Ska tunes transcribing if possible. Preferably to tab or notes...i can read music but i would only end up putting the notes on the papers so note letters or tab please. Normally i work stuff out by ear but i am on hols and away very soon. I have just joined a new band and will be coming back pretty much straight into rehearsal so some transcription tabs would be a big help. Willing to pay of course, i think i've usually done about £10 per tune in the past...but the cheaper the better. PM me if you can help and i'll MP3 the tunes if you provide an email address.

Just bought a RC50 Boss looper off Josh. Great price for the looper and a superb chappy to deal with too. Buyers/sellers can deal in confidence - thanks Josh

Anyone tried the Joyo Octave/fuzz pedal?...seen a few on ebay - am semi tempted

Live albums, well...it could only be "Babylon by bus" - Bob Marley & the Wailers - a true must for anyone wanting to check out good reggae bass playing by Aston 'Familyman' Barrett... also one of the loudest cheering crowds i've ever heard. Turn your lows up irie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmaAp0K9W-o Also Gongs 25th anniversary album is brilliant & i love Ozrics Tentacles Live @ the Pogmasters ball Miles Davis Live evil is another contender

[quote name='fattybassman' timestamp='1317816546' post='1394851'] nice one...glad you liked the new one were on tour at the moment with about 6 new ones in the set so hopefully you can come check one of the shows out [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_rD2GEVv4w&feature[/media] bitta footage of outlook festival above...banging festival...everyone should go next year...done!!! fatty www.fattybassman.com www.submotion.co.uk [/quote] That was awesome, really enjoyed watching the gig footage - especially the low D&B rumbles. Didn't realise you guys are called Submotion, haha a new band i'm playing with at the mo we're considering that for a name - maybe not now. I see your Leeds way do you know my friends Middleman ?

Anyone ever worked out the groovy riff at the start of this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHj-JjcAo3k Would love the music/tab of this....one to play with a synth bass effect for sure

Big Pothead Pixie Gong fan here; been to a few Gong conventions, notably Glastonbury when Steffi Sharpstrings and Steve Hillage played the Om' riff (Master Builder) together for the first time - totally mind blowing......i didn't get to see the end as i was shortly throwing up outside...ahem (Cider etc !!!). I was also in the Planet Gong family club, so bit of a Gong geek i guess I briefly played in a band in Glastonbury, Altered Native, who made it onto the Gong outer family mandala...that was a proud moment . Albumswise...well I've got most Gong, Mother Gong, Gong Maison, New Your Gong, Shapeshifter Gong, Planet Gong, Mike Howlett, Steve Hillage, Pierre Morelen etc etc albums...few on vinyl too and lots of the Gong associated bands - Here & Now (Big up Keith the Missile!!!) Invisible Opera, University of Errors etc. Favourite Gong tunes: well [b]Cats in Clarks Shoes[/b] off the Shamal/Wingful of Eyes album is an all time favourite and i love [b]A sprinkling of clouds [/b]on the You album......but then i love loads of Gong including the Techno remixes......too many to mention. You never blow your trip for ever A nice cover [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP8xF1rix6Y[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DFOtLdD7vU[/media]

We've got some chappy here in Plymouthland who apparently played in Hawkwind...certainly looks like he did Now playing in a 10 piece soul cover band. I personally love my Gong...some fantastic bass playing from Mr Howlett...but i'm sure this should be another thread!!!!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1318548855' post='1403746'] I was at practice tonight too. Actually snapped the string in the EP2 from doing a load of wub wub! whipped the baseplate off it & fixed in seconds. We've got a blues gig next month, so I thought I might invent a new genre. Bluesstep. Well Rasta man, what's your next moog gonna be? Glad you gave the 101 a chance, it does add a load of lovely bass to the sound. [/quote] Haha, like the idea of Bluestep..."Woke up this [s]morning [/s] evening...WAMP WUB WUB" Next Moog you say...next mortgage , joking aside though I'm really loving the LPF now that i'm getting into it. Interestingly i've started jammin with a new band recently who are quite into Dubstep which to be honest is a bit new to me (any decent music education gladly received, particularly reggae orientated dubstep)...soooo was gonna ask what you guys use with your LPF's for dubstep? - whats the cheap skate route? Do i need tremolo for that warble? My budget is limited right now so am hoping to rely on the trusty Zoom 506II for sounds ...but may get a few cheap pedals come payday Also another Q for Pantheairsoft- ,hope you dont mind mate, you mentioned about using modulation after the Moog LPF...i've been given a Ibanez Phase modulater PM7. Should i put this after the Moog (in my case last in my chain before returning to my LS2)? Also are you guys using compression or limiters at the end of your chain to stop peaks ? Thanks as always for your really helpful responses

Yeeeaaahhhhh, at tonights practice i discovered the MOOG for sure!! I hit a right setting at last and with the expression pedal too. Shook the teeth of our drummer....it's now a keeper....i get it now....sooooo pleased my doubts have been shattered. cheers lovelies

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1318346105' post='1400925'] I made comment on my thread for the Barefaced Big Twin T, but worth mentioning here - If you are using your Barefaced Dubster cab with this set up, you'll never get the swells to sound like on the vid - The cab is designed to have pretty much zero highs, and to get the top of those swells you need lots of high, preferably a tweeter. You'll get fat synth bass, but not up to the 'key's' territory. [/quote] I've tried the set up with both my Dubster & a 2x10+1x15" both with tweeters, agreed a bit more swell with the tweeters although i do get nice clarity through the Dubster, its not too muffled. However effects wise, last night I tried my JD BassWah set up with my 506II and seem to get a better sweep and sound although there is a mid scoop on the filter from the wah thats not too great when pressing down on the pedal slowly. I'm wondering if maybe I should have got a decent synth pedal rather than the Moog MF101...the MF101 makes for a great funky envelope filter, and i'm sure much more that i haven't discovered, but its not doing what i thought it would do synth sound wise. Any recommendations on synth pedals that you can use an expression pedal with? I see the Boss SYB5 allow for an expression pedal but couldn't find any youtube vids where they're using the expression pedal.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1318247938' post='1399603'] Dub tone - you don't need any other effects, although octave Down can't help. On the LPF - Res - 0 Mix - 10 Env - doesn't really matter 2 or 4 pole Fast Boost the bass on your Pre/before the filter. Start with cutoff about half way, then start playing and slowly roll the cutoff back until it starts to go sub-tastic and remove all the top end. The more bass in the mix before it, the more pronounced it'll be. Octave down will fatten it more - seems the frequency response is best around the 12th fret on the A string when using an Octave down. If you engage a fuzz before it you won't hear it with the cutoff that low, but if you then swell the cutoff with an expression pedal you can add some lovely synthy fat swells (add a little resonance if you do this, about 4). Shep [/quote] Nice one mate, shall have a play with that tonight [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1318248035' post='1399607'] & whilst I mind, put your 101 after the 506. I've been thinking about doing a video review of some settings, so maybe soon . [/quote] Yeah my signal chain is send from the LS2 into the 506, then out of the 506 into the MF101 and out the MF 101 into the return of the the LS2 - my exp. pedal is on cutoff. What settings on my MF 101 would you recommend to get that sound in my first video......i'm assuming to use the fuzz setting and octave setting on my Zoom 506II right? Any help muchly appreciated Interesting you said about the video review of settings, i just trawled Youtube and could hardly find anything on settings, particularly with bass guitar. Found that the MF101 makes for a killer envelope filter though, very Bootsy Cheers folks.

Looks a great cab you got there; i'm using the BF Dubster for dub reggae, that has some serious lows but with good mid range definition. Amazing how BF are knocking out these cabs that can go so low and loud yet so light

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1314912188' post='1359296'] Or just set your EQ flat, roll in a little more bass and use the Moog MF-101 to cut the top end from the sound and fatten up the lows like you've never heard!!! [/quote] Ok i've got the MF-101 now, how do you get the dub tone you mentioned, settings? I'm struggling to get the sound in my first video i mentioned. I've got my Zoom 506IIBass with just a fuzz & octave sound from it and then going to the MF101 - do i need a better octave/fuzz pedals?? - I'm leaning back to getting a synth pedal and perhaps that going into the MF101. I'm using an expression pedal on the cut off on the MF101 with the cut off knob about half way. Any suggestions on killer settings on the MF101 gladly welcome (Loving it as a funky envelope filter)

Often when trying deps, mainly Guitards: 'Ah yeah reggae is easy, just smoke some herb' Followed by a heap mess guitard on the floor who cannot skank in time, with feel, for sh*te .....next!

I managed to put a Mighty might neck on my old Ryder before trading it on, i guess the neck pocket is similar to the Fender dimensions...just guessing though
