  1. Yeah he's taking his own Sansamp just in case no one else has a DI box. It's serving the same role as a "house amp" would do. I'll be taking the Tonex One and a passive DI box. FWIW, I am actually pretty happy I'm not having to take an amp - from memory this venue sounds pretty good and has great bass response, and last time I played there (I was on rhythm guitar at the time), my Marshall DSL40CR and chonky pedalboard were a nightmare to get up and down the 3 flights of narrow twisty stairs. Now I can just take one gig bag with my bass, IEMs, Tonex One and some cables and I'm done.
  2. I have been asked by the soundman at our next gig to not take a bass amp and the basses for all three bands are going to be DI'ed in with either his Sansamp or our own DI boxes.
  3. It's loaded on top of a passive DI box, only a cheapo Gear4Music one. I do pack a 9v supply usually but in this instance I just had my laptop charger to hand so was using that instead.
  4. Actual rosewood fretboard too I think. They're going to be hard to resist at that sort of money.
  5. Fantastic rehearsal last night. Sounding as good with the new lineup as we ever did with the old lineup, which is really good considering this current lineup has only been together about 8 weeks.
  6. I put this massive board together out of all of the bits I actually use during an average rehearsal. Covers everything I need. I've got it set up so in A/B mode it swaps between a slightly driven SVT and a very distorted SVT. Then for stomp box mode I've got it loaded with a Darkglass Microtubes capture and a Sansamp Bass Driver capture, and I'll test those two captures out and go with whatever I prefer on the day. My setup doesn't need to be any more complex than that.
  7. Rewatching some of the sets yesterday and today. I think my favourites have been Inhaler (that P Bass tone was incredible) and Biffy Clyro. Both bands I liked sort of but was never a massive fan as such, but I will definitely make an effort to see both of them again.
  8. Are there any short scale P Basses that actually sound like a P Bass out there? After Glasto this weekend and seeing so many people using them (especially Inhalers bassist who sounded fantastic with that Ampeg behind him), I really fancy a P bass.
  9. Got the mixer in yesterday afternoon. It wasn't supposed to arrive until Wednesday, but sure enough, Gear4Music somehow managed to get it to me less than 36 hours after I bought it online. Tried the Behringer X Air app on android, absolute crap. Tried MX Mix, marginally better. Tried Mixing Station, and now won't be going back to either of the other two apps. Just been able to plug some guitars, a mic and my bass in so far, trying to hash out the input gain levels for our band by using the same gear as will be used by them. So far, a lot easier to use than people seemed to suggest.
  10. I've just put Maccabees on. Good to see them back together. They were one of the first bands I ever saw live in my early teens, and have always been one of my favourites. Was gutted when they split up.
  11. Doherty did an interview not long ago - he's moved to the South of France and, his words, replaced his heroin addiction with a cheese addiction.
  12. He's the sort of bloke who I think would be brilliant to have a pint with but by the time you've stuck around for a third or fourth he'd probably start getting on your nerves. And I mean that in the sincerest, nicest way possible.
  13. Catching up with Inhalers set now. My favourite bass tone of the festival so far - I really need to get a p bass. Edit - he's now pulled out the gold Jack Casady which also sounds fantastic and is making me think maybe it's actually the Ampeg behind him that I want.
  14. Don't call the Script an Indie band. They're CD-player-in-middle-aged-womans-car-music at best.
