Good evening, Shep , and ...

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

...

...

Hang on a minute; that Username rings a bell. Weren't you that fellow who played bass in... Errrm... Oh dear; it's quite slipped my mind. You know the one I mean, though. It is you, isn't it..? Isn't it..? 

...

 

Most probably, yes  ha

I've been away from Basschat for soooooo long that I feel like I need to say hi again... so hi!

I missed this place!

Hey man, sorry but I’ve now sold (subject to shipping) this bass. I didn’t update the listing yet. If something goes wrong, I’ll let you know. The bass is currently with Jon Shuker not me, if that makes your travel and shorter! 

Ah! No worries. I hope the sale goes smooth. Thanks for the update.

If you know the old email address can you still access the account and change the ownership details ? 

I'm just guessing with that as never had to do it. I know my old aol email address i can access old items even tho i changed address at least 8 yrs ago.

Dave

You’d think so... but apparently not. It just won’t give us access. Not that we’re super bothered, it is very much an ‘old project’.

Yay! Welcome back matey oh how I remember your awesome pedalboard. Amazing otherworldly sounds from your (Roscoe IIRC?) bass.

You're still on youtube too!

 

Yo!!

Oh yeah, YouTube too!

We’re in the odd position that neither of us seem to be admins on the Facebook page anymore and the email address associated with Bamdcamp, YouTube and Spotify no longer exists... so material is out there, but we don’t really have control of it anymore! Ha. So yeah, enjoy what’s out there!

Synthetiks - prob the best track we made. Utter b@@@h to play live. Soooooo many pedals active at once in multiple parallel loops. In the interest of the amplification question in this thread, that was an EBS Fafner into a Barefaced Big Twin T, though I did go smaller further down the line and found stuff that could still cope with the sub lows.

Ok, I’m mega late to this party... first time I’ve logged in here for about a year, but..  I’m Shep and I’m still alive.

My old blog was closed down when I stopped playing bass as much (I got a record deal ‘producing’ for an electronic act - WRISTS) but Si offered to host all the interviews I’d done so everyone could still read them - hence the Shep/Si connection.

My old ‘band’ was Our Helical Mind - google it and you’ll find stuff on Bandcamp and Spotify. We were 2 guys using drums and a bass to make analogue drum & bass. It was fun, but we kinda peaked at what we could do with just 2 of us around the release of ‘Synthetiks’ and figured that Nerve had the 3-piece market already covered, so we called it a day. The pedalboard was a 2-man lift. It was insane. As was the tap dancing.

Thanks for remembering me though. Makes me feel all important! Sorry it took me 9 months to reply!

I can’t believe this is still here! This is the first time I’ve logged into the site in 2020 and I recall drooling over this the last time I was here.

Maybe the fact that it’s still available is a sign! As such, a few questions...

1. I assume it’s still in the near-pristine condition in was when you posted it up? Also, still strung E-C, right?

2. Can I come and try the bass at some point? It’s actually a rather epic 5-hour round trip (and that’s if the traffic is kind) for me, but I swore to myself that I’d never buy a bass before playing it ever again. Too many purchase regrets! 
 

3. Are you open to negotiation on the price (obviously done in private)? I appreciate the ‘new’ value of the bass and the potential value it holds to you, but it going unsold for so long speaks volumes as to ‘what people will pay’ for such an instrument, me included.

Thanks!

Band Witches! Awesome!

Oops - Bit blurry eyed after a drive back from Germany to the UK!

"band pass filter" - not quite sure where 'witch' came from!

What does the r.i.p. knob do?

It's an adjustable filter which adds in some wet synth sound. Tech21 have always be cagey about what it actually does, but it appears to be an adjustable band witch filter with increasing resonance. It can be turned off entirely for no synthy tone.

I used to have one and it even beat my original Mastaron as i was running both! If anyone wants the sound of a 3 leaf Doom this can get close and do more besides, great synthy octave up brassmaster tones can be had too. A really versatile drive at a great price 😁 the sellers a pedal legend too!!

I like that 'pedal legend' bit

I agree with everything said in this post though. It's very versatile and has insane low end.

Joyo Orange Juice. Excellent condition. Boxed. Very little use outside of the studio. Lovely warm OD pedal that is far more versatile than it looks.

£30 posted in the UK.

Tech21 Red Ripper. Great condition. Spent most of its life on my pedalboard. No box. Lovely deep high gain distortion and grind with the added bonus of some synth squelch if that’s your thing!

£80 posted in the UK.

Hiya,

you don't happen to have any mic stands you're looking to move on do you?

I'm in Derby so can collect.

 

Hi Len. I think I have a regular boom stand (I was going to include it for free with the Reflexion Shield) and a smaller one (mic’ing a kick drum or bass cab).

I’m away in Germany until next Monday now, but will confirm as soon as I get back.

Hi all,

I’m moving house and slimming the studio down. The following is up for grabs...

I was very doubtful of the 1212 design with the angled speaker, but im sold. 750w through this and it barely breaks a sweat. I’m still in awe and the drummer loves it just as much. Guitarists less so

Over the years I’ve had a lot of gear, from huge rigs to tiny micro ones. After a long long break from playing live I needed to get a rig together for a reunion gig with my old alt rock band. On a budget, I spent a couple of months waiting for the right stuff and finally (after oodles of research) settled on a 1st gen Schroeder 1212L and an old Markbass SD800.

Both discontinued items but a pairing which has been reported to work well together (there’s a thread on talkbass pretty dedicated to using these 2 together), will fit in my tiny car and I can load in, along with a bass and small pedal board in 1 go.

First full rehearsal tonight - BLOWN AWAY. For all the times I’ve read that the Schroeder 1212L lacks bottom end, I’m shocked by how tight and punchy it sounds on a low A! This rig totally cuts through (if not crushes) 2 heavily distorted 4x12 guitar rigs and is only knee height.

seriously impressed. Tight, punchy and surprisingly full sounding. The dispersion on that cab is incredible.

It’s been a looooooong time since I posted a pedalboard and this is the smallest one I’ve ever used! Put together for a reunion gig with an old band. Full rehearsal tonight. Sounded great!

Easy trade transaction. Swift and simple. Great communication.

Cheers!

Price drop as there’s something I have my eye on!!

£125 posted, or still open to trades on dirt pedals (what you have might satisfy my GAS!).

Board set up went a bit crazy the other night! 

 

I approve of this setup!

Bought a Markbass head from Mark. Easy transaction, good comms, sent the item promptly.

Very trustworthy!

Never got my head around why Ampeg insist on including their lame OD as a 'compulsory' option on this pedal? Not yet found anyone who truly rates the OD on this unit. 

If they simply offered their EQ without the OD it would be both a cheaper and more compact EQ / headphone amp. Job done.

 

I'm sure it's lame, but its certainly not up to scratch with other offerings. The unit without that circuit would be awesome though to reduce the footprint. That EQ section is really awesome.

Open to offers... cash or fuzz!

Awesome pedal! 

I’ve used so many different ones that I’ve lost track. There are 3 which I have used for long periods of time and each were lovely in their each way, any of those would be a great addition IMO:

3 Leaf Enabler

Ampeg SCR-DI

EBS Microbass II

Thr EBS and 3 Leaf are both very clean, though the 3 Leaf has a little more warmth on tap. The Ampeg is much ‘bigger’ sounding and goes from fairly clean to really dirty.
