A bit of thread resurrection here... To those of you who are long time members can you answer the following? I'm particularly interested in the legal support side of stuff that the MU can offer, particularly where they say that they will check contracts etc for you. So If I were to receive and complete a recording/distribution contract etc, the MU would double check over the contract before I send it to ensure I haven't missed something and that someone isn't trying to shaft me - Thats my understanding. What I want to know is, that if the contract includes multiple people, for example a band which I am a part of, would the MU still offer this service to me if I was the only person named on the contract that was a member, or would every member of the band named on the contract need to be an MU member before they would help out? Cheers folks! Shep

[quote name='[email protected]' timestamp='1346259280' post='1787161'] Hey Shep great article about pitch based effects! What's your thoughts on the now discontinued Boss PS3? I've just acquired one myself loving it so far, Lots of options and a lush chorus! You got me gassing for an oc2! [/quote] Hey dude, glad you enjoyed it. A guitarist friend of mine owns a PS3 (pedal, not games console!) and I really like it. I've had a good play on bass and it ticks the right boxes. I've always liked the Boss Pitch effects, though oddly I've always settled on owning other companies versions. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1346259875' post='1787170'] is this just for the tour your doing soon or are you properly going back to basic's then? and like jhunter said above a really good bit on pitch shifting dude! [/quote] I'm keeping the big board if thats what you mean. 2 pedals went (Meatbox and Noisebox) but the main board is still there. Logistically my full set up is a nightmare - it weighs so much it's a struggle for 2 people and due to size it won't go in many vehicles. I expect 'bigger' gigs, rehearsals and recording will be done on the large set up still. What I wanted was a lighter weight set up that can reproduce the songs that I play on the big board (be it with different tones/sounds) - something that fits easily in any car and can be carried with one hand for smaller local shows. The idea is to have a set up that fits in a Diago Showman. So far using just the M13 and 2 Line 6 expression pedals I've been able to 'recreate' the core of all our commonly played tracks, though 2 of them have had to have some sounds sacrificed. The tunes sound very different, but I can recreate te textures, layers and feels fine. I obviously prefer the time of the bigger cool effects, but I'm it sure the audience will be that bothered. I'll likely be using 1 or 2 extras with the M13 - the Aggie and loop mixer for my sub and likely the Geiger counter as its the tunes that use the GC that I'm needing to use 2 patchs at once on the M13 to get a sound that's close. If I can live with the M9 expression pedals I can get those 3 units in a Showman board easy - If I use the MP-201 then I'll not fit the GC. We shall see!

[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1346164516' post='1785959'] Due to the lack of responses, you are clearly no longer cool [/quote] I've known that for a while...

I have the same problem (Just checked now). I'll add it to the tech list and get someone to look into it!

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1346069635' post='1784768'] Agreed, but is this really likely to be a problem in practice? Who would leave negative feedback if a buyer (say) didn't turn up but called to explain why with a genuinely good reason. But even if they did, the buyer could reply to the negative feedback explaining the reasons. Again, both sides to the story could be posted in the feedback. [/quote] This is the main problem. It's always been a BC policy to say that if you have an issue with another member it should be dealt with by PM and not voiced as public argument. This tends to end with both people setting their differences, or a moderator being notified of X, Y or Z. I would hope the same is true after transactions and if someone wasted your time you'd find out why in private. If you were unhappy with the response posting negative feedback is not going to help as you already know their side of the 'argument' and disagreed with it enough to leave negative feedback! If a situation was enough for most people to feel negative feedback needs to be left it means they had a bad experience and both sides presenting their sides of the story on a public forum will result in nothing but an argument. Neither side will see the others point of view and the feedback forum will become a bigger battleground than Off Topic! As a public discussion forum that does not have advanced software or a workforce to police a set system (lke eBay for example) the current process has to be subject to some specific rules and this is one that so has has shown that if it is not adhered to more problems occur (as it's been mentioned feedback in the past over non-transactions etc. has resulted in serious fall outs).

This is what me and TaySte were playin around with this afternoon... [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/5CE956FE-FF84-4202-8FE8-088C07266402-9306-00000AE7FE6D7C8A-1.jpg[/IMG] Impressive results!

[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1345981459' post='1783730'] Nobody's mentioned the Eventide Pitchfactor... Just wondering how it stacks up against those listed above. [/quote] It blows the socks off all of them and nails pretty much every tone other than that famous OC2 -1 octave sound. Buying a Pitchfactor to be just an Octave pedal is however a tad OTT! It's really stunning but does so much it could replace a large part of many pedal boards... And costs a bomb!

It's been far too long coming... but here is a new instalment of my Signal Chain BASSics series. This time around it's discussing my obsession - pitch effects! [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/signal-chain-bassics-part-viii-pitch-effects.html"]Shep on Bass - Signal Chain BASSics, Part VIII: Pitch Effects[/url] It's been a long time since I published part VII as the interviews I've been doing have taken up so much time. I fully intend to get back on the ball with these though, along with a pile of pedal demos.

The 'out' socket was to allow you to run a daisy chain or link cable from one pedal when you were using a regular single power supply rather than one designed to have a daisy chain plugged into it. Either way (a daisy on the power supply or from the pedal) will get you the same results. Be wary of using a daisy chain other a supply that does not offer much mA/juice for your pedals or that is not designed for a daisy chain - while it may 'work', it may also get hot/noisy. As for your patching - they should all work together... I would say something is not connected correctly. Everything powered up? Volumes up? Changed cables? Double checked correct ins/outs being used etc? Shep

I understand it's the same engine as the a whammy DT (without the detune etc). If so, it works very well with bass (I had a DT for ages). There is a cut in the super highs which you wouldn't notice in most cases unless you run the whammy AFTER dirt pedals (which add high end harmonics) and have a tweeter on your cab. Running it after dirt is not recommended by Digitech anyway, but in this rare combination you hear a drop in highs when you turn it on. In all other situations it's pretty awesome and the tracking was pretty good all over the bass.

LS-2 is a swiss army knife of pedals. Seriously good for it's money and size. Perfect for what you need plus a million other tasks as well! Fpr the price you can pick one up 2nd hand (£40ish) you can't go wrong.

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1345794954' post='1781541'] Is that a 2 band EQ? Oh, and when will we see this "ramp" we've heard so much about?... [/quote] It's a 3 band Bartolini NTMB. Volume, Pan, Mids (with push pull for 2 centre freq's) and a stacked bass/treble knob. The pups are Roscoe spec'd Bart's (only available on Roscoes). A small hole will be drilled shortly to add an active passive switch that I have requested as I prefer a switch to push/pull knobs. As for the ramp - very soon I'm hoping!

Yeah guys. I'm super happy with how it's looking. That fretboard is still to be oiled so it'll darken slightly and grain should pop. Lookin forward to seeing the Maple/Purple Heart 7-piece neck on the other side!

That's fairly accurate summary!

Well... Final assembley (and laquering the headstock) here we come...

Bought my Subdecay Noisebox today. Easy hassle free deal. Thanks dude! Shep

Alex bought my DOD Meatbox. Quick payment, polite comms. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks dude!

Bought a Virtual battery off me today. Good comms and easy transaction. Thanks bud! Shep
