Curious question for you all. Do any of you use a bass synth in church?

I only had to play in church once (3 songs) and in one i used MXR envelope filter. No problem. But bass synth - i don't know.

Same rule here at any Royal Canadian Legion club, you will be asked to remove your hat.

If You want to be still weared with Your hat - please give me Your instrument instead (Your bass).

Just got this today and already gave it a spin.  Sounds great and is different enough from my Octbvre and T47.

 

The sound options are great and a lot to explore and as Taylor suggests to pair it with a filter (preferrably Xerograph) and that is so true.  I have read a lot about these and early ones had a bleed from the synth voices but this one is really quiet.  Really looking forward to see what I can do with it.

Looks nice, hope sounds nice too. Happy You !!!

Too pricy for me, i think.

I had a rehearsal on saturday with my new band. Guitarist played a good rock and so did the drummer. We played 5 hours with some coffy and cigaret stops. Rehearsal was good, i mainly played chords, said by guitarist and listened to the drummer. Long time ago i had to play 5 hours, so rehearsal ended with 2 big blisters on  my 2 and 3 right hand fingers.

What is a rehearsal?

Rehearsal is when You and your bandmates come together at a place where is possible to play songs for your upcomming gig to make them sound better or create a new songs for your band.

Back to the forum after a long while, I give you my current minimalist pedalboard after refurbishing the board itself with new Velcro and stuff, and putting the ever-faulty Polish Love and Polish Hate aside.

 

Very doomy, but can also go quite funky, but that envelope filter will be replaced because it annoys me.
 

What does ''Prod'' do on Your board ?

All i need is Aguilar tonehammer 500 and 2x SL112 cabinets.

Great question. It’s basically a pre defined eq cut at 800Hz which simultaneously maintains bass and treble at a consistent volume as the cut gets more pronounced across the sweep of the knob. Imagine a bass and treble boost only eq on an active bass which also adds that 800Hz mid cut too for  slap tone but all mapped to one knob. 
 

At lower levels the cut is less evident but can liven up the tone. It’s looks a bit one dimensional on the surface but in conjunction with a drive pedal you can think of it as adding a second eq voicing. I can have a nice drive tone and then engage the Funkulator and immediately get a more scooped voicing which might be preferable on some tunes. 
 

I’ve said in a post about the Funkulator in another thread it’s really quite useful and can enhance a jazz bass’ natural voice, add a

new voicing to a drive pedals as well as tighten up finger style at lower settings. 

Thanks !!!

My preamp appeared to stop working ahead of Friday nights gig but my trusty old basswitch has came to the rescue. I must have this pedal for 11yrs or more. 

 

Quick rewire this morning and the board sounds great for both IEM/FOH testing with headphones and into the amp. 

Added a Genzler 4OTF Classic bass for an always on sound to warm up the clean preamp which hits my two LBA 2020s transformers hidden underneath before the input stage on the Basswitch. 

 

The Dual Band comp is in the always on serial loop of the Basswitch before DI’ing this combined drive and comp sound out to the Cab M+. Sound great! The line out hits the remaining pedals before running into a Thumpinator hidden underneath the other side of the board before going to the amp. 

 

Pork and Pickle is more recent anddition and gain staging with the 4OTF just to the amp does exactly what I enjoy and wanted them to do. Adding a nice oomph on stage for me and the drummer but the FOH/IEM remains ‘clean’ and punchy. I’ve gotten compliments by sound techs before running this combination as it doesn’t mess with the FOH sound they’re trying to get right and they can give me a sign if I need to turn down the amp to get the balance right out front. 

 

 

What exactly does "Funkulator" on Your board ???

Does anyone use one on bass - I never have!

I have one on my pedal board. Little, small extra.

You don't need reverb fx pedal when playing in church.

Took this bad boy out for its first ever rehearsal last night. It’s absolutely the best bass I’ve ever played and I OWN IT!!! 

Yeah, it should be god damned good instrument, but still, i think my Yamaha trb 5pII is better - sorry. 😄

Fantastic rehearsal last night. Sounding as good with the new lineup as we ever did with the old lineup, which is really good considering this current lineup has only been together about 8 weeks.

That is really good.

Yeah, thats why I said final call. Once they are set up correctly then each band member needs to call out for more or less etc. 

For good results - each band bember needs him each own whisky choice.

This showed up last week...

 

 

It's intended for guitar but actually sounds great on bass. I added the 'deep' option as the website said it was better for bass but I found when at volume you get that 'wub wub' sound that doesn't work for me. Otherwise it's great, a warmer/darker tone compared to the Walrus Audio Julia, closer to my 80s Boss CE-2B, but with more range in the speed and depth.

 

And I now have the wankiest pedalboard known to man.

That looks like a small beauty queen.

Aye!

But if it's a 160bpm punk thing we don't really want 110bpm funky drummer!

I like disco drummers. They can't play too slow.
