I'm actually warming to this idea. I've heard reports that tracking is better and not only is it true bypass - but it works on 9v DC!!! Which is damn sight better than the noisy AC power of the old one. I'm using the whammy way more now that I used to and so I'm thinking about selling my Whammy IV and upgrading...

Does anyone have experience of having a custom board built? I'm currently using 2 Diago Tourman boards side by side, it's huge. I'm looking at down sizing slightly, however I won't be able to cope on just one Tourman due to the bloody stupid size of Moogerfooger pedals... Damn them. I'd be looking at a board around 52" by 20"... Lift off lid type (like Diago board), NOT something that has to be taken out of/put back in it's case each time. Anyone had anything built? Suggestions? Ideas of cost. I've fires off emails to Diago & to Flight Case Warehouse already, no answer as of yet.

Is it Monday yet!!

EBS amp head for me every time - and I favour the Neo cabs over the Prolines, not just for the massive weight saving, but I find they have a lovely hi fi tone. My Neo 212 is a one man lift and not a great deal less in weight than the Neo 410. Fafner II looks like a beast (it'll weigh like one too!). I used to own a Fafner I and loved it, moved to the EBS HD350 as wanted to save the weight!

Or just set your EQ flat, roll in a little more bass and use the Moog MF-101 to cut the top end from the sound and fatten up the lows like you've never heard!!!

[quote name='nottswarwick' post='1359273' date='Sep 1 2011, 09:52 PM']you going to collect it?[/quote] Hi Chris, Yeah - Planning on getting the train on Monday as I have a day off. Once it's back here you are more than welcome to pop over bud. Its a stunner ain't it!!!!!

Pics from Mark @ Bass Direct, where the bass arrived today... Under this light and in this resolution the bass looks AMAZING! The top has a bio-mech living look going on... Yum! Roll on Monday when i collect!

I'll look into and someone will report back!

The 101 is a dub bassists dream. Treated as an EQ pedal alone it allows you to get the huge thick dub tone without pushing your amp EQ to its limits. I use the 101 constantly in my music. When the pedal is bypassed the drive knob still effects your sound, so it effectively becomes part of your pre-amp anyway and adds a little analog goodness to it. Many tracks I use it on with an Octave pedal to fatten up sub. It has a whole host of functions without an expression pedal. Add the expression to start using the synth swells like you asked about in the 1st track, or in fact that you hear in millions of tracks, allowing you to push the sound from deep smooth sub, to high fizz and back (stopping anywhere along route). I got mine on eBay for £105 plus shipping, plus £20 on an EP-2 expression pedal. For what it can do though, I'd be happy to pay the retail price if mine packed in!

I want one soooooo bad. I also have GAS for a ZVEX Distortron...

Ta da....

I'm only as knowledgable as many... But I like the ego boost! I'd say the answer has already been posted - [quote name='xgsjx' post='1355730' date='Aug 29 2011, 09:39 PM']My LPF is a moog MF-101. It sounds like he's opening up the resonance as well as the cutoff both at once. If you're wanting to replicate that song you could stick the filter & a fuzz (& maybe even a slow phaser) on a loop such as an LS2. That way you're not trying to stand on several pedals at once to bring the effect in.[/quote] LPF, open up the cut off, high resonance = win!

[quote name='Darkstrike' post='1356977' date='Aug 30 2011, 10:49 PM']Awwww yeah![/quote] My thoughts exactly - In the UK and clearing customs

[quote name='bassjamm' post='1356981' date='Aug 30 2011, 10:54 PM']Awesome Whilst I'm posting...can I just confirm that the whole DubStep sound could effectively be summed up as Octave - Fuzz - Phaser - LPF? I know this thread covers it a lot, but I just wanted to confirm. Thanks Jam[/quote] Yes. Very loosely. Although 'modulation' in general as opposed to Phaser specifically (personally I put modulation after the LPF too ).

[quote name='Dread Bass' post='1356895' date='Aug 30 2011, 09:30 PM'] Oh yeah didnt think that through.[/quote] I'll give it a go... Not sure it'll be much fun though lol

He taps his foot at the right time, by that coincidence. JC does lots of cool stuff with envelopes and wahs, but that's either mic feedback or Adam prepping his feedback for the squeaky solo that follows just after that section

In transit! Excited!

Met with Scott a few times regarding my Roscoe Century Fretless. I'm clearly not the only man that thought it was excellent as he bought it! Top bloke, great player and the deal went smoothly. Cheers Scott!
