I use this together with Transcription....It allows you to highlight certain areas of the track to repeat, slow down, change pitch, isolate the bass (or any other instrument for that matter). And all your markers, loops etc can be saved so you can open up the track and work certain parts immediately.[/quote] Can you isolate the bass? Really? How do you do it?

I'm not in Vice Like Grip anymore mate, I'm in a different band now.

Again, a very easy one. Bought a tuner from me and paid straight away...Top guy all around. Thanks!

[/quote] Yes, I'm using it with active basses, Musicman Stingray, Sadowsky, Ibanez ATK and, guess what? I plug into the Demeter and no distortion at all! Read through the Compulator instructions and you'll find this: "...Trim pot sets the gain of the compressor's pre-amplifier. If distortion occurs turn this down until the signal is clean. The unit is set at the factory at 20dB of gain which is perfect for most instruments...." And, by the way, as stated on my post, it's my personal choice after having owned both of them and that's the reason I'm recommending it... I don't mean the EBS it's a bad compressor, in fact it's a good unit and I liked it but I like the Compulator better

[quote name='lowdown' post='466619' date='Apr 19 2009, 11:25 AM']Hope it works out, and it does look nice. But the amount of times i have seen that said on Basschat, Then not so long after it appears in 'Basses for sale or trade'... Garry[/quote] Thanks guys! I can honestly say you won't see this one up for sale...that's how confident I am with this one. Apart from the money I've paid, ticks all the boxes I wanted and the playability is excellent...it's all I've ever wanted on a bass. I'll sell some of my other basses but this one is going nowhere.

Not cheap, but you get what you pay for: [url="http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/our-catalogue/Effects/Demeter-Effects/item/2272"]http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/o...fects/item/2272[/url][/quote] +1 After having owned the EBS Multicomp and the Demeter Compulator, the Compulator is the one for me too... very transparent, low noise and easy to use, it's great bit if kit

:hyper: Here is my new Sadowsky Metro UV70-MB-Ash: Ummmm... I love this bass, the feel, the sound, the neck is sooooo comfortable and easy to play, the tone across the fretboard is amazing... I'm glad I pulled the trigger and went for it, all I've read about these basses it's true!

I agree with you've said guys, I'm now the proud owner of a Sadowsky UV70-MB-Ash and it's the best bass I've ever played! The feel, the neck, the sound, the tone across the fretboard... ummmm, I'm in love!

If you decide to go for the Sansamp I'd check the Paradriver instead of the BDDI, it's basically the same unit but with the added mids controls so you can avoid that scooped tone you get with the bass unit and, I think, they are about the same price.

Always black or natural for me, thanks.
