    I have Zoom multi fx’s to scratch the itch of things I want or think I want. I’d suggest you look at the HX One, it’ll do your chorus for now and your comp when you change your mind in the future.

     

    I knew NOTHING about that HX One...! Assuming Moose Nomad same size as MBD, and my harley benton tuner is smaller than the polytune I think... Things would be dangerously tight but..... but.....!!!

    Na definitely a subtle compression going on, I have so much clean blended in on my Alma comp it mat as well not be there.

     

    I think between the Capo, drive pedals and valve amp there’s a whole lot of squish and saturation happening that really make it a little redundant.

     

    The only reason I’ve still got it there really is that it seems to help with octave tracking. 

     

    Thanks Joe!! Good to know I'm not alone and you've the same compressor which is a really good one tbh!

    I'm only planning to use octave up from the fuzz so I think this is inviting me to swap a compressor for a chorus.... Ooopssie!

    yes there is some compression going on, very very light.

    The Capo was just right, about the same sort of compression I get from good A/D conversion (not saying it’s doing this) but just that really light something is going on.

     

    Right, I'm not going crazy!

    Also buy a D’addario XPND and stop worrying 😂

     

    But the missus would if I do lol!

     

    Thanks for that comment, it does make sense - I don't find sound enhancing from comps since I've got the capo - I will try more thoroughly, but if not significant, I may well put the Comp on sale and get a chorus for that 😇

    Quick question fellas: do you find yourself needing a compressor less and less since you've got the capo? Is there some natural compression going on in there?

     

    I use my compressor always as tone enhancer and not a limiter as my string/hands are fairly even and I use a pick most times, but I feel like my Lusithand Alma does less and less since I've got the Capo.

     

    I'm making a pedalboard with the Capo, tuner, distortion and fuzz (new MBD and Moose Nomad which are both on the bigger side), and I'm considering maybe a chorus would be best to fit in a Nano+. I just wanted to check how it goes for y'all since I was evaluating whether I need a compressor at all.

     

    No, I won't take the suggestion of 'get a bigger board' cause I end up with 4 more pedals to make it tight when all I may need is a chorus 😁

    Anyone else just ready to give up?

    That'll be me - I've been in a band a couple++ years, done some 50 gigs, recorded in studio in three occasions, done 3-4 videoclips and got signed by a small record label. 

     

    Very, very conscious that the above is nothing to many of the talented folk here, but for me it was enough - I wanted to be in a punk rock trio where I'd learn to sing backing vocals and other bits, experience studio recording and be confident when going to stage and I did just that, so, in a way my heart is full.

     

    I was commuting down to London from Northants for rehearsals and 50% of gigs and it just got boring and annoying in the industry. Fantastic bandmates, good fun and great mates but tired of those 'sorry we can't pay you' gigs or feeling like we're begging for petrol, or having to promote gigs over and over and over. Great for those that think 'well that's what you should do/that's the industry', but clearly not for me.

     

    I may well have been a bit too hasty in moving most of my gear, but since summer I've only learnt 3-4 new songs and haven't grabbed the bass in about a month... Also note since July I was probably playing bass only for gigs or the odd rehearsal.

     

    Soooo... Keeping one bass, the Capo preamp and I do have a PA/Monitor I can plug both to if something comes up. Funny enough my wife is starting a new project - I started playing bass since she needed a bassist some 5 years ago, and I told her I was happy if she wanted me in this project or if she wanted to experiment with other bassists to broaden her experience working with other musos since she's already done stuff with me... I'm secretly happy that she chose the latter.

     

    God knows if I'll have appetite for stage or bands more local, but the planets need to align for the right project and all that - oh, and I need to be looking to find that, which I'm not :lol: I've got a little Harley Benton guitar on the way and a Nord keyboard at home that do have more chances of getting SOME playtime, but let's be honest, probs it'll be just some noodling whilst watching TV or a weekend where I want to do James Blake and James Dean chords on the Nord 😆

     

    ... And, I'm at peace with all that.

    Sire Marcus Miller P5 MLG - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ander87

    £270!
     

    This fantastic Sire Marcus Miller mild green is on for sale - I no longer play in bands/stage so I'm just keeping one bass and my Jad Freer Capo.

     

    No trades since I'm off stage. 

     

    Comes with a Sandberg gigbag which as you know is very decent - this one is as new. 

     

    Weight is great at 3.6/3.7kg if I remember well - no blemishes whatsoever, just a great P bass - you know how quick I jump to change electronics and whatnot but this one sincerely doesn't need it.

     

    Roasted maple, of course.

    Agree with above and glad you like it Paul!

     

    I think whilst it’s great on features, the biggest thing for me it’s how effortlessly it cuts through in a band setting and on stage. I just can hear myself like I’ve never done before.

    I know how much you raved on about it, and for how long and you were correct. Even the dirt is good.

     

    You are once again correct - I'm withdrawing it - that pedal and a couple basses and I'm ready for gigs recording or anything tbh - and yes, cranking the distortion on the channel B can be so so good, too!

     

    Thank y'all for some sanity 😀

    Lusithand Alma Compressor, Pedaltrain nano+

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ander87

    Well! Seeing as I'm rarely playing since I left the stages, I'm keeping a bass or two and letting go of the rest.

     

    image.thumb.png.f35a7ae97fac0c02a14e9aafd15d405e.png

     

     

    Lusithand Alma compressor - £150 - runs 9-18v, Nuno can confirm this despite the misprint of '9-12V' and I've used it as such without a problem. Owned from new, fantastic Diamond like bass compressor. Boxed 

     

    Pedaltrain nano+ with softcase - £45 in line with other ads

     

    I'm happy to do a small price reduction if all bought together.

     

    Best,

    Greenboy Fearless F112 + MESA D800 (both on hold) - *SOLD*

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ander87

    Hey all,

     

    Only selling as I'm off stages - an amazing stunning rig and quite rare cab!

     

    Mesa D800 in great condition, £550 - any questions do ask away but a classic, effects loop, EQ on 4 bands, voicing control, hi pass filter... Comes with a fitted Gator bag as new. (Sold)

     

    Greenboy Fearless F112, £650 - 3 cone design for bass, mid driver and tweeter with two different configurations. 8Ohm, up to 1200w that you can blast on this beauty.

    Amazing condition and about 17kg if I'm right? As you know from here I've been a convert to Barefaced... until I listened to this - same ethos but thicker bottom, more substance for sure and the different switch configurations on the tweeter are great.

     

    Plus, it's wedged so you can imagine how nicely it projects! For the record I can hear myself perfectly in standard position and haven't felt the need to angle it, but I guess if you're picky... (SOLD)

    Buy Amp and Cab together and get a high quality tsunami speakon cable and a grammapad as new.
