[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1322069417' post='1446192'] Tempted....very tempted.....saw 'PantherAirsoft's bit about the Big Twin T in the DnB thread, so that and the S12 would be on my 'must listen to' list GK MB500 is now up for sale, along with the 4x10, so getting rid of everyhting so far Ian [/quote] ...you have been assimilated, Mr Bottle!

The Barefaced Super 12 (IIRC) that Alex had in the Jam Room was fantastic!

Thanks for all your hard work Colin! As silddx said, your efforts really are appreciated by everyone involved and it simply wouldn't be possible without you...... Nik

It's really interesting to hear what everyone else gets up to...creatively that is! This could be a topic for the next SE Bass Bash...

4 days to go BUMP!

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1321368560' post='1438284'] PS I've just bunged this up as you may be interested in it - the bassist from Clatter uses a three-way rig, with a Mesa Dual Rec and a 4x12 guitar cab for the seriously over-driven portion of her sound - quite interesting to see how she's done it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6HbKRkPnpA"]Clatter Bass Rig[/url] HTH [/quote] That was really helpful Ian; that's quite a set up she's using!!

1 week to go 'BUMP'

Thanks for the YouTube link Ian; will watch that with interest tonight... Guys; thanks for the other suggestions.. all really helpful! I like the modified Volume pedal idea.. I haven't had time this week to do any more work on this but I'm thinking that provided I have my FX rig using different speakers to my SWR Triad - so, say a cab with 8" drivers for example - then I'll get this idea to work really well.. Nik

Hi Si, That's cool! Look forward to seeing you all next week Nik

Just a week and a half to go now; any one else interested in coming along to this??

I recently bought a Boss ME50-B from Alex and everything went very smoothly! Good to deal with and very helpful.. Thanks Alex!

So; what's the deal with phase cancellation? I tried out some different combinations at the weekend using the Boss Tuner as a line splitter, which worked well, and also, used the FX out on my H&K which also worked well.. That way, i could use the FX blend control to very quickly balance up the volume between the two rigs.. But I think I favour the Boss Tuner idea most as that way, there's no discernible difference in the signal going into both rigs, whereas, coming out of the back of the H&K, I'm sure there's a very, very small delay.. For some reason though, the high pass filter line out didn't work, which was a shame! Overall, I think the biggest obstacle to getting this to work really well is the issue of phase cancellation. So what's the deal with it; is it about using different cabs, different sized drivers or is it about splitting the frequencies and how far the two rigs are apart in the room? .

Great photos Ian!! dmccombe7; I still have one of those Peavey heads and love it!

Pete, The aim is to use some FX all the time and have the sensitivity set so that, depending on how much I dig in whilst playing, more or less FX can be heard.. My aim is for the FX to be like a permanent 'colour' or 'flavour' to the overall bass sound, but I can lose it when I want it.. Hope that explains it? Nik

I've no doubt it would Pete, so that could be a way to go.. The PA option would be less hassle and i have discussed that already with the other guys in the band.. But I'm about to start rehearsals with another band in the New Year and they only have a vocal PA, hence why I'm looking at being completely self-contained on this..

Pete - that's a good question!!! And I'm not sure of the answer yet, to be honest... Though I hope to find out as I try more things out.. Such as, getting the speaker placement and the frequency split right etc, as Oli mentions above..

[url="http://www.thedopplershift.co.uk/gigs/"]http://www.thedopplershift.co.uk/gigs/[/url] [/quote] Cool; will try to make that and as it's not a weekend, that should be easier...

Thanks Ian Brilliant..I love the sheer outrageousness of that rig !!! Did you have an Edie Stobbart account for shifting it around.... Hmm?? I have considered whether a 212 guitar combo might do the trick actually but was worried about whether one would have enough power..but if the frequencies are split as Oli and you say, then maybe that could work? Roll on the weekend when I can try some of this stuff out at volume

Thanks again folks.. My Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 has a blend control on the FX loop and I tried that but don't think it works as well as two seperate rigs.. More interestingly, the H&K also has a high pass control on the back which is variable, so i'll try that out at the weekend..
