@acroxixo kicking in from 0:58 what a great full meaty bass tone and fits so well with the style of music! I was trying to work out your settings from the video - looked like you had it on PJ combined and I'm guessing with the treble dialled down a bit? And another nice demo of what a great bass the BB1025 is!

Not at all - I don't dish out compliments easily! You should definitely repost both your clips on this thread which has a much bigger BC audience than this sub-forum seems to get

You made that look effortless - great job!

Nicely done!

This is what I went for: - micro board = Zoom B1-4 - gigging mini board = FI-->OC5-->Octava-->Proton-->B1-4 - 'creative' larger home board In terms of signal chain, I'd have been fine swapping the synth and octave pedals around at the start - but PB tetris dictated the final order on that one. The remainder were my preferred choice signal chain order. So we just now need to work out who was closest out of you good chaps who played, in terms of (i) exact pedal selection or at least (ii) the correct pedal 'genre' (e.g. synth, dirt) and (iii) tie-breaker of signal chain order.

Now you've got me intrigued as to what pearl of wisdom from you we're missing out on! 🙂

+1 to both the above. I also use a Tech 21 pedal (the VTDI) or a presence patch on my Zoom B1-4 to brighten up my Markbass Combo. I replaced my BF SC with a BB2 for exactly the reason @fretmeister mentioned ie to get more high end zing as it tops out at 20 kHz (well above what most of our ears can hear these days, I suspect) rather than the 4kHz of the SC, per the specs, which must mean it starts attenutating at even lower freqs.

Also worth checking this out at 01.13. The EHX Pitchfork offers something similar.

@Reggaebass - just wondering whether this might be right up your street as a Dubster Lite? I'm half tempted to get it myself to pair with my BB2 - but I'd best not given that the band has a little used RCF 702 AS II in its armoury!

LF 1400 was the Dubster 2 with a 1400W power module included. A beast!

I've just spotted I'm quoting a post from immediately before the thread resurrection back in July 2019 - lol! I suspect that rig may well have gone to a new home by now!

Ahhh...you still have this?! I thought it had been sold - that is one serious rig! When you have something comparable @Reggaebass I probably won't need to make trek up from E3 to E9 to hear it will I? 😁

Nope dear fella. One never turned up and I guess we kinda went a different route with the band and got ourselves a RCF 702 AS II sub woofer (which we've not properly used in anger yet) and then I completely forgot about it... probably got distracted by a global pandemic or something! You managed to spot one out in the wild?

👍😁

Haha love it! Actually your suggestion has 3 out of the 5 pedals already on my former smaller 'psycho synth' board (in the OP). So I'm probably not giving anything away by hinting that you're unlikely to edge it over the other suggestions, but defo brought a smile to my face 😁

Not sure which multi has properly cracked filter and synth yet. Not Helix. Obviously that's only an issue if those particular fx feature in your sets. The nice thing about a decent multi is that you can have a set of patches that is tweaked to suit each different bass you play, which I know is something you like to do, although must admit I've not taken things that far with my cheap as chips / amazing value Zoom B1-4.

If it's a decent, accurate clone, his sales definitely will be. Tbf new DG kit is premium priced, no question. The question is then which of us have had a problem buying either Mooer or Behringer clones? Or a Sandberg clone of a Fender body design or a Warwick clone of Spector etc? At least these guys are being open and honest that their product is a rip-off rather than pretending that it's not.

I defo like this "cover" less than the one that @ubit dug out for us (Grouplove did a pretty good job btw!) and to your point it's not that angry either...just sayin' 😁

You see, if this bargain hadn't been found and you hadn't then drawn my attention to that very lovely neck through 5er, I could have just got on contentedly with my life 😁

What's particularly cool about this story is that this bass has ended up in the hands of someone who both really appreciates it and can give it the TLC that it deserves. I bet it's going to be stunning when you have completed your refi!

I guess I owe Mike Kerr for shifting my RR - went pretty much the next day for full asking price after he made his announcement, having not had much interest on here or eBay beforehand (cheers Mike!).

Latest Barefaced 210s let you switch ohms.

Two G&B Soapbar 5ST Epoxy covered pups on the 5er.

Not disagreeing with this; I think we often use different words / expressions to describe the same sounds. "Flat" doesn't equate to lame in my terminology - the 424 IS hugely punchy! But its pups are not as harmonically rich as the 1024s (or more accurately 425 / 1025 in my case). I have A/B'd them side by side, but only at home not in a band mix.
