RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Well, since last week, I've won bids on the bay for:Boss RPS -10 pitch shifter delay RDD-10 digital delay RCL-10 compressor limiter Bidding on reverb, and chorus . If I get those , and a rod-10 distortion, that will be it. Then , there's the small matter of finding a mini rack to put them in. Then a power supply. After that, I'll sell my Boss me-50 b / 0db 3/ Zoom b2 1 u up for sale on here..phew!)

Thanks Al. Like the look of the power brick . Not cheap tho'

Love it. Bet it's pricey

Howdy! Having won a bid for a Boss '80s mini rack effect(and bidding on others) , I was wondering how to power 5 effects at the same time. Not sure if you can get 1 power supply that has 5 sockets ,or if there's a box/pedal I may need to get. I know that in the original Boss micro series, there was a small block with 5 sockets. Please advise Cheers

One band who's Bass stood out in the '80s was overkill. Dd verni..very underrated IMHO . Used to like overkill , full on thrash , vocals were erratic tho'. A bit marmite ,) Must say tho' in the mid '80s onwards , the bass got more defined and dear I say trebly,) Production changed I think in a lot of ways.

I use line 7 podfarm via ux1 hardware , into mac mini .

Well , I just won bid on eBay for rps-10 pitch shifter delay. I made a final bid of£80.01at lunchtime. Somebody placed a maximum bid of£80.00 mid afternoon, meaning I win bid by a penny!, Will try to get the others in series, then sell my effects in the coming weeks.

Saw a delay unit on the bay. 6 hours or so to go. I'm the highest bidder . If it goes above £80, which it should , then i won't bid anymore on it.

Would've thought , you'd be better off buying a bass pod instead.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking around£60 each. I already. have effects , but this looks cool. If I got these (delay chorus etc) I'd sell my effects.

Yeah, just been looking on the bay. Saw a couple of you tube clips,and they look good. Cheers

Yes , thats the thing I'm thinking of. Sorry to hear about the accident. ( they look nice and tidy.

Edited post bump.)

discontinued now . Originally made in the 80's? I was wondering if they are /were any good. Has anybody got any here ? I like the fact that they ate compact enough to fit on my desktop, and look uncomplicated to use . (unlike my me8b). On the other side of the coin, I have a line 6 podfarm installed on my mac mini.is it best to forget about boss and stick to that instead? Cheers

Thanks charic. I've got logic express. Haven't been recording long, so I avoided it. Will look into it, when I feel brave enough to.)

just thought of something. St. Anger...I need to buy a new frying pan .

Cliff played basic guitar pedals in them days I think,) don't think bass effects picked up until the 80s now there are sooo many,)

Just thought about GarageBand on the iPad . Think I'll probably be better off using that. )

There's me thinking reload is probably the worst album they did. I remember once when they played Wembley arena for the first time. (Think it was an added date on the justice tour)anyway, the sound was muddy at best. Jason played a pretty Inaudible solo,which sounded like a buffalo being slaughtered. Jason was awesome in every other gig I saw him in tho'. As for cliff, I asked him about his sound. He just said 'get a phaser' ,)

I've been noodling around on soundcloud , over the last couple of months,and the enthusiasm is slowly increasing.I have ipad, mac mini, effect units, and of course..basses. I've been using my oxygen usb keyboard, which has spent most of its life stuck behind a door.) (was a bit dismayed when I found out only today that I can't use it as a sampler..duh!) So I cannot plug my bass in the back>) Anyway, if I did get one, I would assume it would take some time for me to get to grips with it. I think there is an app that acts like a sampler, but I don't know how complicated it is. Can anyone help? cheers

Interesting thread. After getting fed up of playing in covers bands, I've started recording bits and bobs on soundcloud. I've only just started a couple of months ago, and am enjoying that. I did enjoy playing live, but after regular rehearsals(other than when other band members couldn't make it) I was often playing in front of one man and his dog.) Then you had to keep looking for pubs, chasing them up etc.. I was thinking of starting a 'band' , where a group of us jam/rehearse and instead of gigging ,we do you tube stuff instead. People would probably think I'm mad,) , as all people I've played with in the past got bored of rehearsing and wanted to get 'out there'

Ugh! Cheap imitation of original

Niiiice bassss,)
