These are great..... and inexpensive [url="http://www.pasupercentre.co.uk/cables-and-leads/di-boxes/ld-systems-ldi02-d-i-box.html"]LD systems DI box[/url]

Hmmm we have similar situations with weddings. The key is to have the PA Just cover the Dance area. No real need to blast the whole room. THe K-Array is a fantastic system... we have three of them now and they really are very versatile. We also use an LD Premium Line array for larger events which is really portable and excellent projection for larger rooms.

I absolutely agree with what Bill is saying but in most cases this solution is unsuitable for small to mid size bands. Most bands would have a sub/sat arrangement as this is the easiest and most sensible solution for this type of set up. I guess Jesse it depends on what you call a big room.....

Indeed it is [url="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www14.ocn.ne.jp/~mybass/_src/sc466/AtelierZMZCTM4LPB.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www14.ocn.ne.jp/~mybass/basses.html&usg=__U46agiE8y6aJnNSwjAvynUpGKLA=&h=450&w=800&sz=161&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=n4Tng8M0SqzwnM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=191&prev=/images%3Fq%3DAtelier%2BZ%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1416%26bih%3D846%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=423&ei=CXtzTLuQDMuNjAfCyMjmDw&oei=8XpzTKeHOYXNswbO-KXRDQ&esq=8&page=1&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0&tx=137&ty=49"]here you go[/url]

Main features are that they lock in place and you can plug and unplug speakers while connected to an amp without any short outs

I'm doing a wedding gig on an aeroplane next year....... should be interesting

Awesome..... I would pay good money for those white flares......

I definitely am a snob..... haven't found a fender yet thats playable (to me) apart from my '83 Strat Elite.

[quote name='obbm' post='928096' date='Aug 17 2010, 10:13 PM']Thanks Jay, but the requirement has gone away. Have "S" taken them over or have you got a new challenge in life?[/quote] Very much the latter.... )

Yes Mate

[quote name='obbm' post='113364' date='Jan 4 2008, 09:55 AM']Does anyone have any experience of these?[/quote] Not sure if this is still a relevant thread but I am now looking after LD Products in the UK. Please PM me with any questions you have. Jay

Fantastic..... more songs to add to my set list!!!!!

Thoughts and wishes with his family. Sad news indeed.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='925149' date='Aug 14 2010, 07:49 PM']TBH I doubt the earlier poster has polled other Deep Impact users as to the strength of their input signal. It might've solved the issue adequately for him given a particular bass and signal path, but for others who knows what their problems might be (assuming they have problems at all). In short though: No. Generally the single best thing you can do to improve tracking into a synth pedal is string your bass with flatwounds. That's a bit too extreme for some, so pick nearer the neck, solo the neck pickup, roll the treble off, etc. - simplify your signal, mute open strings well, pick accurately, try to leave the pedal with as much pure fundamental note as possible to listen to without harmonics confusing the issue.[/quote] Actually most people I've spoken to about the SB-1 have had this problem..... and the issue is not driving hard enough.... found a lot of other synth pedals have the same problem. There have been threads on this site where players using the the SB-1 have found they get a certain note playing all the time regardless of where they are pitching on the fretboard. Most of the time the issue is down to not enough input signal. Have found the same issue with other synth effect units... and believe me I've tried most of them

All bassists are rubbish.... wannabe guitarists the lot of them.... losers!

Thanks Scott, as usual loads to be getting on with there..... really useful. Really bugs me that you make it look sooooo easy.

[quote name='Doddy' post='924027' date='Aug 13 2010, 03:29 PM']That's like those videos where the guy overdubs really bad playing over Jaco and Mark King footage. .....Only real. [/quote] I thought it was a shred someone had put together..... Jeez!!!!!!!

[quote name='Doddy' post='923983' date='Aug 13 2010, 03:07 PM']As much as I'm not really a fan of hers(although her solo album is quite good), Tal Wilkenfeld doesn't belong in this thread,as she is a far better player than guys like Wentz,Guigsy et al.[/quote] + 1 I can't stand Hooky.... he'd be my choice

[quote name='Hit&Run' post='922657' date='Aug 12 2010, 01:00 PM']I'm after a bass synth effect, but haven't got a clue where to start having never used one before. Sound-wise I'm after an 80s type of sound, like on: * crush on you by the jets * Let The Music Play by Shannon etc.. I'm not going to be covering those songs, but they're the kind of sounds I'm after. My band is on about covering GaGa's bad romance, which I'm sure would benefit from a bit of synth bass action. So, any suggestions or recommendations?[/quote] I get this exact synth sound with my Akai Deep Impact (play this song in my Disco/Funk band). The tracking issue is normally down to people not driving the input stage enough on these units and getting the dreaded monotone note. Just give it a good hot signal and it works flawlessly.
