I'm usually flat out on the bass volume wise and use a volume pedal for swells. However, my luthier (Andy Viccars) swears on rolling the volume off just a tad when gigging which he claims finds the pickup's 'sweet spot'. He has better ears than I!!

Zoom B9 1ut multi effects. Some light signs of use, comes with power supply, instructions, paperwork. Valve preamp which warms the tone up nicely, very versatile and a cool expression pedal that not only goes up and down but side to side too. Located in Milton Keynes, able to post at cost. Here's what Zoom say: The Zoom B9.1ut bass effects console combines the most technically advanced audio engine with the warmth of a classic 12AU7 tube to produce the richest tones imaginable. The Zoom B9.1ut 's ultra fast ZFX-3 processor means all the world's famous amplifiers, cabinets and effects are modelled with stunning accuracy. Combining the raw processing power of the ZFX-3 with the 12AU7 tube accelerator produces richer harmonics and organic tone. By adjusting the mix balance, the thick characteristics of the 12AU7 tube and the striking clarity of the ZXF-3 can be adjusted so that saturation is natural and focused. Delivering high-resolution, 96kHz sampling processing with 24-bit A-to-D and D-to-A conversion, the B9.1ut rivals the processing equipment found in the finest studios. This means that the wide pitch, timbre and dynamic ranges created by modern bass styles are handled without degradation, ensuring clear, transparent sound. From Ampeg, Fender, and Marshall as well as more recent models such as Hartke, SWR, and Aguilar, a whole world of bass tone comes complete on the B9.1ut. The cabinet simulator emulates the low-frequency characteristics and sonic behavior of vintage and modern bass speaker cabinets. The Zoom B9.1ut offers a versatile collection of 112 effect types arranged in 10 modules. They are optimized for the dynamic and wide-range signal created by the modern bass. The module insert position can be specified for the preamp section and wah/filter effects, to accommodate even more advanced creativity. The Zoom B9.1ut comes preprogrammed with artist-created bass sound settings from major genres such as Rock, Jazz, and Funk. Doug Wimbish (Living Color), JD DeServio (Black Label Society) and Eric Struthers (Aaron Neville) have each provided customized preset patches. And you can save your own original patches with the enough storage capacity for another 80 patches. The built-in Z-type expression pedal developed by Zoom captures up/down and sideways movement for controlling more effect parameters with subtle changes. The Z-pedal lets you build highly complex sounds by assigning up to four parameters each in the vertical and horizontal direction. The B9.1ut has a built-in set of stereo XLR outputs that lets you establish a balanced signal path for clean sound. Go directly to a mixing console or PA system without additional gear. The USB port on the B9.1ut provides audio interface capability for recording to digital audio software. The B9.1ut comes bundled with Cubase LE 4 so you can start creating music right away. And because playback from the software application can be monitored on the B9.1ut itself, you can record and monitor with no latency.

Pretty much all my gigs have a pro installed PA, but I still take a back up amp (ELF). If my head goes down it's a lot quicker for me to swap 3 leads over rather than faff about getting a DI and monitor mix sorted. It's also useful for when the support band ask if they can use to your rig. I don't like having to reset my amp up just before we start so I always offer to let them use the ELF. Of course there's no right or wrong here. It's all down to the individual's band and gear situation, their attitude to risk and the potential consequences of gear failure. Stay safe y'all! X

Absolutely this

Elf for me. Now I've bought the Peavey valve beast though, my Bugera Veyrom will be redundant so I'll prob take that as my spare. The elf is capable but only just whereas the Veyrom has volume in spades.

Yeah I’ve got that - think I digitised it somewhere along the line!

Here's the clip of moi from Newsnight (Repeated on Dance Britannia) after an Angelwitch gig at The Marquee. The original program was concerned with headbanging causing brain damage. I'm the one asking how many people have died from heart attacks while disco dancing.

Ner - wobhum for me!

What band is this Bilbo?

I was a regular at The Bandwagon in Kingsbury which played a pretty big part in the NWOBHM movement with Neal Kay’s Heavy Metal Soundhouse. Saw Iron Maiden there among many others. When that place closed, Neal moved to The Headstone Hotel at Headstone Lane, and it was at a rock night there that I met Mrs Tut. I too used to love Girl. We went to see them at The Marquee one night where they were supported by some upstarts from Aylesbury called Marillion. The proggers stole the night, bolstered mainly by Fish’s charisma and banter and the coach load of local fans they bought with them - I went on to follow them through their early days and you can briefly see the wife and I on the video EP filmed at Hammy Odeon. I also loved Angelwitch. After watching them at The Marquee one night I briefly appeared in a news article that was filmed there about the perils of head banging and brain damage. The clip later reappeared, to my delight, on Dance Britannia - I’ll see if i can dig it out!! Happy Daze!

I’ve owned a couple of MIJ Mustangs and now own a Mexican PJ Mustang. My memory isn’t good enough to compare them. The Mexican Mustang is well put together and a very competent bass but doesn’t seem to have anything outstanding about it apart from the pearl green paint job and limited run maple board. I’ve put a Quarter Pounder in the bridge position to give me a bit of versatility and snarl. However a few years back I bought a late 70’s Musicmaster from this site. When I bought it, it had been fitted with a Wizard P Pickup along with the original guard and gubbins. Again - nothing special except lots of mojo. However, I changed the pickup to a cheapo Artec dual rail jobby, put a new bridge on, and strung it with TI flats and a pro setup and wow. She’s got tone for days, a real vintagey vibe and plays luvverly. Used her for either my first or second Stray gig at The Craufurd and would have no hesitation in taking her out live again. Awesome little bass - especially considering I picked her up for (IIRC) less than £400

I’m waiting with baited breath to see how much they’re gonna cost and where I can get one (or maybe even two!)

No - I never realised there was software for it. Mines off to a new owner at the end of the week!

Decided to sell this as it's unlikely I'll gig it and as much as I like it, I could do with the space!! It's in good nick with a few marks. Fully working with manual but no power supply. It takes a standard 9v jobby. I really like the filters and synths on this and it has a nice interface. Very easy to programme. Price - £60 - includes uninsured postage in the UK. Here's what Korg say: Incredibly powerful signal manipulation, REMS models, and step sequencing! Using Korg's exclusive Resonant Electronic Modeling System (REMS), the AX3000B Modeling Signal Processor provides a familiar knob-based interface with easy access to all functions, a backlit LCD, an expression pedal, and breakthrough Expression Step Sequencer (ESS). 72 different bass effects give you unprecedented tonal breadth. 16 types of drive/amp effects model tons of sought-after vintage and hi-end amps and effects including a wide range of pre-effects, cabinets, modulation, delay, and reverb (11 types of each). Effects can be activated 7 at a time and include compressor, limiter, wah, flanger, chorus, and 2-octave pitch shifter, as well as fretless and bass synth effects, plus a lot more. Create and store 96 programs with your favorite combination of REMS effects. 32 preset programs are also provided. Use the expression pedal to control wah, volume, or many other effect parameters, or assign a wide range of functions to the Control Switch for even greater flexibility. The ESS sampler lets you store effect parameter movements and play them back to create dramatic changes in the sound. ESS can also be used to create subtle foot-controlled stepped modulation effects as well as dramatic controlled pitch effects. Choose from 7 ESS modes and control the ESS playback speed in real time by tapping a control switch or by using the expression pedal to smoothly change the speed. Use a control switch to start ESS playback or use the expression pedal to recall the desired step. Effects can be turned on and off individually. Send/return jacks allow you to connect your favorite stomp boxes. AUX IN jack lets you connect an external sound source and play along with it. Heavy-duty metal body stands up to the demands of live stage performance while the Auto Tuner lets you tune your instrument while muted. Backlit LCD provides superb visibility. Amp/line output selector lets you run straight into the board. Key lock function for preventing accidental control changes. S/PDIF digital out, MIDI I/O, and AX3000B Sound Editor software that lets you edit and manage AX3000B programs on your PC or Mac. Features 72 bass effects Huge range of REMS amp/cab and effects models 7 effects at a time Compressor, limiter, wah, flanger, chorus, pitch-shift, fretless, bass synth, and much more 96 user-editable programs 32 preset programs ESS lets you store and replay effects parameter movements Send/return jacks Aux in Mutable auto tuner Backlit LCD Amp/line output selector Key lock function S/PDIF digital out MIDI I/O Sound editor software PC or Mac

I dug my old Korg Multi FX out last night and gave it a run for its money. Got to say, I was really impressed with the synths and filters. The interface was pretty useable too. I'd never gig this, well maybe at a pub gig, because of the vulnerable knobs. Can't decide whether to keep or move it on for peanuts. Anyone else use one? Any thoughts?

What does HMT stand for?

An LH500 is plenty loud enough for loud gigs if you wanted to save some money!

The LH 1000 might not be massively flexible but the tones it can do are bloody nice! I had a LH500 and i never ran out of tone for classic rock.
