Lol. Yes guys, it arrived this morning. Put it through it's paces today at a rehearsal. Utterly blown away. It's tiny and sounds massive. The punch is amazing. Balance on a strap is perfect for me and the reach is ideal. I'm utterly blown away. Russ - the ramp was designed and made by one of the guys at Roscoe HQ (Ryan I think, but don't quote me on it). I'd seen an after market ramp added to the LG slanted pups in the past that looked like a 3rd pup (so it was angles at the top and bottom the same). I showed them the pic and this is what they came up with... The same concept except it gives me a flat edge to rest the thumb on of Im playin the E. It's very comfy and super gloss smooth. Lovely. Just packing up and loading up now for the tour. See you all on the 28th!

Yup! Worth noting as well that the signature neck is quite special. The signature neck is a 7-piece with a Purple heart wedge as the center bit then either side has a maple stringer, then PH stringer then maple wings. So it's... Maple/PH/Maple/PH (centre core)/Maple/PH/Maple. Roscoe offer an upgrade where you can swap the PH for Wenge throughout the neck. I went with the PH option to avoid the up charge. What's been done as seen on the reverse photo on the last page is to have the PH core but swap the 2 stringers for Wenge so the neck is a kinda hybrid... Maple/Wenge/Maple/PH/Maple/Wenge/Maple That probably bored the hell out of all of you... But it excites me!

I'm sure it will be! In fairness the addition of a ramp is for the practicality of it and not the looks. That said, I REALLY like the way it looks... But accept its rather unconventional. Some pics taken by Mark at Bass Direct this afternoon...

Thanks silddx, appreciate your comments, makes me quite proud to get compliments about 'my ear', which is something I've always felt I had, but in doing something a little different that most people hear as 'noise' I've never been so sure! [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350429523' post='1838927'] Is that really what Shep wants to hear? [/quote] "Our Helical Mind - Music For Your Parents" That's the next album name sorted then! -

Thanks guys. iTunes will follow but it'll take a short while. Likely a couple of weeks, and may be more expensive. Buy it on Bandcamp... It's cheaper for you and we get more money! Plus you can still drop it straight into your iTunes and you'll never know the difference -
Hey folks, we are playing at a bITjAM event on Nov 1st at The Rigger, Newcastle-Under-Lyme. bITjAM run a range of electronica-events from gigs to workshops to studio sessions and this show represents their 6th birthday and it's FREE! Hopefully some BC's local to Stoke can make it along!

Hey folks, for any of you Basschatters on the continent, we'll be touring from this friday bringing out own breed of instrumental, effect-heavy electronica. Would be awesome to hook up with some BC's en-route! Dates - [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Our%20Helical%20Mind/A4SNKEiCYAAa51zjpg-large.jpg[/IMG] Shep

NOW TRADED! Hey folks, As the title suggests, I'm looking to trade my WMD Super FatMan for a Subdecay Prometheus. The WMD is in perfect condition with its box and has been my main filter for a while. This is a versitile envelope filter with a range of modes which goesfrom oure sub to suoer high quack plus it had a vlean blend. of you want to get mad there is also an LFO section for wobbles which again can be blended with the filter or turned off. It's brill and I love it but I have loads of filters so I'm never without but having tried the Prometheus recently it works well with some of my dirt pedals for a specific sound I love and want (though as a clean filter I actually prefer the WMD). It really is an amazing filter and I expect to own another at some point! Not interested in other trades but I'll take a Diago Showman pedalboard as part payment (ONLY the Showman though). Would also sell for £150 posted in the UK so I can buy a Prometheus.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1350125008' post='1834809'] I've just retweeted this as BC - because it's good Incidentally, that was possibly the quickest retweeting time in history Thank you Shep. [/quote] Awesome. Thanks for the RT! -
Shep on Bass - Interviews about effects!
pantherairsoft replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Effects
A little insight to one of the worlds top audio technology companies... PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] Morten Ehlers heads up the Bass Development side of TC Electronic, one of the largest and most successful music technology companies in the world. In between trade shows and a huge work load, Morten was kind enough to spend some time back-and-frothing with me over a few questions regarding TC Electronic's amplification and effects range, the technology behind it and why TC are such a huge player in today's market. -
No worries! Fingers crossed it'll arrive a day or two before we leave for our Euro tour! So it'll be a couple of weeks before sound clips get done, though some live footage should happen!!

Yeah gugy. I'm blown away by the appearance. Can't wait to get hold of her!

I have NEVER played in Oxford in my life... odd that. 13 years of playing in bands and I've never played in Oxford! lol We are aiming to have a much more geographical spread for gigging come the end of this year/start of next so I'll keep you posted. We have quite a local reputation now thanks to our 'open mic' approach - basically there is a mic onstage offered to any vocalist or MC who wants to freestyle and improvise with us. It started off with one cool MC showing up etc. and now we play shows and the stage ends up like this... http://youtu.be/B9iT3KW4fWI We just play the tunes and shift the structure to suit whats happening and MC's just work the crowd. We still play instrumental, but in Nottingham it's hard to not have MC's show up now! lol. For an idea of out live sound, here is a live recording we have - straight off the desk: http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/live-from-dogstock-2012 There are links in the album information to see the footage form the show as well. I'll let everyone when we get more UK dates sorted! -

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1349884955' post='1831819'] I do know a really good DJ actually, i'll see him next week so will mention it. He does scratching on proper decks but it controls samples on his laptop somehow - pretty cool. [/quote] Wicked mate. Hook it up! [quote name='simwells' timestamp='1349887061' post='1831849'] Do you ever play up here Shep? Know it's not exactly far but thought I'd ask anyway! [/quote] We don't really have any contacts with bands, DJ's or mates in Sheffield so are completely unaware of the electronica scene or other acts to get on with. It you can put us in touch with a promoter/organsier or help get something booked then we'll be there! -

Currently we have transport issues so bringing an MC or 9 is unlikely (getting us there will be a challenge)... But maybe. Duke01 is always game for a road trip. If you know any local talent though please invite them along. I think the Great Scott guys are fairly local so ill ask them too. -
