Found this on an interview website... GC: Your bass sound is pretty radical with a lot of extreme low end coupled with a high percussive attack and rattle. How do you get that sound? Fieldy: I don't use any mid-range, it's all highs and lows. I take the mid-range and turn that s--t off. And when you slap, it's just real clicky sounding and when you use your fingers it's real low. I take the graphic EQ at 180Hz and I take that all the way down too. That's the style I play. I'm a drummer. I'm a drummer on bass.

In all seriousness... good to see you on here mate.

I'd say in terms of the amount of sounds available they are about the same. The deep impact has the HUGE bonus that once you find a good sound you can save it, along with a few (9 if I recall???) and use them during a gig by cycling through them with the foot switch. The EHX is one sound, then change all your settings for another sound, but I do find you can fine tune a specific sound a little better. Having said that, the EHX does cut though much better and it doesn't suck your tone like I used to find the Deep Impact did. If you have a Deep Impact though, I would be reluctant to swap it for anything that is not bloody fantastic as getting another one if you change your mind will be no easy task! P.S. EHX definitely has the better Octaver sound!

I used to own a Deep Impact, long time ago, and sold it for £50. Which was really silly! I bought last week an EHX Bass Micro Synth after seeing some cool stuff on YouTube. For the first few days I was concerned it was faulty. farty noises, huge decay on the notes... but I'm starting to understand they are just very complex and sensitive units. I am now getting some seriously awesome sounds out of it. If this is the starting point for what's to come from this unit... then it f'ing rocks!!!

Another one in here as well!

Beautiful bass though.[/quote] Cheers, I'll forgive you... this time :-) [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='568377' date='Aug 13 2009, 08:32 PM']that is one beautiful setup. I would seriously LOVE a markbass rig like that.[/quote] It is quite a beast thats for sure, and total overkill for my paying in my 1 bed apartment need... but I got an awesome deal on it, and while I may not need all the power now... It really is a rig that should last me a life time...

More pictures? Thats means you weren't following my build diary!!! I'll forgive you :-) Here you go - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48355"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48355[/url]

Cheers for the feedback guys. Chris... Your welcome anytime... Anyone else is welcome round to try it upon successful character references ;-)

Hi guys, the effects run... Boss TU-2 -> Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive -> Boss Bass Flanger -> Boss Bass Chorus -> EHX Bass Micro Synth -> Boss DD3 Delay The bass is actually Wenge (dark brown with a strong visible grain) rather than black, but the lighting has not shown it well :-) As for rig size... yeah its quite large... cab is the same hight as the bass almost exactly... irony is I don't have a car at all and I'm only 5'4"... yay!

I finally have my dream set up. its taken 6 months of being very poor and working up through a few amps, buying and selling to get what I have but here goes.... Overwater Evolution Custom (Many of you will of seen this a million times in the Overwater Forum here on Bass Chat) MarkBass 106HF (needs some new rubber feet and casters but other wise perfect) MarkBass SA450 Head Pedal Train 2 holding some sexy effects. All together I'm sure you will all agree it looks quite pretty! Shep

Right, finally got my first pedal board together, rather than just having some pedals on the floor so to speak... Here it is... Boss TU-2 Tuner -> Ashdown Lomenzo Bass Hyperdrive -> Boss Bass Flanger BF-2B -> Boss Bass Chorus -> EHX Bass Micro Synth XO -> Boss Digital Delay DD-3 All mounted on a Pedaltrain 2, powered by a Diago Power Station (Except for Micro Synth). Kirlin Patch Cables used throughout (with the exception of one, soon to be replaced!) Looking to add a second DD-3 or a DD-6 to the end after having a play with 2 together last week... amazing :-) Cheers guys.

Bought my FX25b. Smooth Transaction. All good!!!!

Bought Jason's Mark Bass SA450 and 106HF cab. Have dealt with Jason before as well and bought a Mark Bass 103 Combo. Both times he has delivered, stayed in communication and been a decent guy to deal with. I know he doesn't use the forums a great del, but you can buy with piece of mind! Shep

Roger didn't seem to have one so thought I would start one for him! Swift transaction. Bought his Boss Bass Chorus. arrived quickly, as described and with great comms throughout. Would happily deal with him again anytime! Shep
