Welcome!

I'm currently struggling a bit with something similar. I use the boost channel of the mb500 for foot-switchable drive but interestingly the boost volume control doesn't seem to affect the DI volume causing jumps in volume when increasing gain through the boost channel. Hmmm, might need to experiment with a DI box fed from the line out.

Me too.

Good luck!

Good luck Hazza! Be sure to keep us updated on how you get on.

Went pretty well. Just a local band night with my originals band but we played well and had fun. We need to do more to spread the word and hopefully get more people to come along. Hmmm.

In my view a band is similar to a team and should help each other. If a band member had a good (physical, financial or whatever else) reason for not carrying heavy equipment, driving or other activities, I'd be absolutely fine with helping them out. However I wouldn't be ok with doing more than my fair share without good reason.

Really sorry to hear about your loss. Will keep an eye out.

I am a big fan of Schecter (well, at least the C4 that is my main bass). These new ones look very cool, will be interested to see how they go down.

Excellent. Enjoy.

Yep, that's my experience too. I use a 3mm pick most of the time.

Each to their own eh, horses for courses. I'm lucky enough to have a day job that I (mostly) enjoy and that pays the bills. I'm also lucky enough to live in a city with a great originals music scene and therefore can gig rhe amount I currently want to.

Yep, I would always choose to be involved in a project or band where we write the material over covers. Much more satisfying for me.

Good luck with the build. I'll be watching with interest.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching your builds progress.

Great collection. Enjoy.

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1505521376' post='3372615'] Didn't we have a thread recently about female audience members ogling, even 'stalking', male band members? Is that OK? [/quote] IMO, female audience members behaving badly toward male performers is also unacceptable. However there are significant differences in the situations due to our culture and average physical differences between the men and women. Edited for spelling.

I would agree that it is unacceptable behaviour. "They love it" is the worst kind of self-justification.

Just ordered a Bass Soul Food in my quest for overdrive that's just right. Fingers crossed.

[quote name='perrybassbp' timestamp='1504374821' post='3364512'] how about something with a switchable cab simulator on just the Xlr output? For those gigs where you can't mic your cabs [/quote] Yes! This.

The other thread on this is here- basschat.co.uk/topic/307748-battalion-ehx/page__fromsearch__1

Looks very interesting. 4 band eq and a blend on the drive channel. Hmmm....

Excellent, another build by Andy to follow. Great stuff.

Has anyone tried one yet?

Core tone is- Schecter c4, no bass or treble boost or cut, slightly blended towards neck pickup. GK mb500 - frowny face eq with highish gain, either di'd or into whatever cabs are available.
