Agree... If you just want the tone then a Boss GEB-& is great as you can boost the 50Hz slider and knock everything else off. If you put and Octave down pedal before it then it will be floor moving. Low pass is a more expensive option though offers additional benefits.

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1334571587' post='1617646'] I am sure this is great but am I the only person who didn't understand a moogafoogin word? [/quote] Certainly not the desired effect...

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1334567768' post='1617576'] Excellent stuff Shep, really interesting to see how people are creating such complex textures on the fly live. Fair does my head in imagining trying to get that deep into that aspect of it live. You're all nutters, well done [/quote] Thanks bud, nutters we are There are times when I could likely do a gig without the bass and just make my Low Pass Filter self oscillate for the notes

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1334536812' post='1617424'] Epic interview. Now I just want to see one of Taylor Livingston.. [/quote] Funny you should say that...

[quote name='D major' timestamp='1334523311' post='1617262'] Great stuff Shep. Keep goin mate. [/quote] Thanks mate. The response to these has been great... and I've actually be contacted by a couple of guys rather than contacting them. I have another 12 interviews out there being completed and back-and-forthing with people at the mo to publish over the next few months. All good. Real cool of guys like Chris & Ryan etc to take time out to go into detail over what they do...

Mini update... Serial number will be #6364 I'm also having an active/passive switch installed on the pre.

Ready for the next one... Go on then!!! The 1st of my 'pedal-builder interviews'. I give you... Ryan Ratajski, bassist of CAVALE and the man behind FUZZROCIOUS Pedals. 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] Enjoy!!

[quote name='littlegreenman' timestamp='1334460502' post='1616469'] OK, I'll play New to this bass malarkey, so no clue if I've got the signal chain correct. Seems to sound OK though. Should probably ditch the Wah and get a smaller device for pitch shift stuff, but I need to replace the left-hand side for skinny string duties. Bass bits come off, guitar bits go on. Damn, I need 2 boards [/quote] No such thing as right or wrong where your signal chain is concerned. If it sounds good to you then that's all that matters!

Cool. The hard case is a BEAST and not something I'd want to carry around. Purely for touring etc... so I want a case of going form A-B but also for local gigs etc where we'd just get a taxi to and fro. I do catch the bus most days though so thick cases can be an arse to slip it between the seats (oooo errr)...

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1330605943' post='1560161'] I'm a great believer in using the right case for the job. I already have Hiscox cases and a couple of standard flight cases for transporting my instruments in the van with the rest of the band's gear. What I wanted was something light and comfortable to wear on my back when walking to rehearsals and for getting to gigs when we need to travel light. Hence the title of this thread. Some of the gig bags being suggested here weighed only marginally less than a Hiscox Liteflight bass case - not what you want on a half-hour walk. The Ritter gig bag I had been using was doing a fine job of protecting the bass when it was in the case, however the straps had started to wear out and looked as though they were likely to give way at any moment now. I could have bought another similar cheap(ish) case used it for a year or so until it was too worn to be secure anymore, but I thought I'd go for something a bit more robust this time. Time will tell if I've made the right choice. The Mono case gets it's first proper work out this weekend. I'll report back on how we cope. [/quote] I'm currently weighing up between the Mono M80 and the Protec Contego. The Mono seems to be winning at the mo. How have you been getting on with it? Again, this will be for walks about town and the odd bus journey (so compact and comfy) - It'll be a hard case if it's in a van etc...

Matt bought a strap off me. Polite comms' and paid super quick. Top BassChatter. Shep

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1334273050' post='1613802'] I'm aiming to get 6 micro pedals (1590A format) onto a pedaltrain nano so mine will be somewhat smaller than that [/quote] Loving that!

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1334264645' post='1613633'] That's what I've got at the moment, it's great! [/quote] Totally. I use an LPF as a static/sweepable filter... I will always have an envelope filter as well (I have two at the mo). With regards to my tests... The moog and the Xero are TOTALLY differently voiced. The Moog warmer and grittier, the xero far more hi-fi. The resonance voices are different too. The Moog has serious character, and the xero more extreme. I think i prefer the plug in and play tone of the Moog, but the xero is cool and will fulfil my needs providing the custom tweaks and CV enabling can be done (bear in mind the stock units do not accept CV). I'm discussing a custom unit with Taylor @ IE so watch this space.

The start of my super pedalboard tidy up... About a third done - tiny cable tidies!! [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/f17b2059.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/c92d0229.jpg[/IMG]

Lol... Gard is on the hunt today. It's priority number 1 so hopefully not too long. Today was the aimed for completion day (stock shipment left today for Bass Direct which they hoped this would be a part of) so I know they are eager to get this moving!

There are multiple threads regarding Marks top notch service around BC... I can only second what you have said above. Very helpful whatever the situation.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1334052137' post='1610026'] Not great news but maybe it's an opportunity to nick/buy the machine off of the company that did it before? [/quote] Possibly... Knowing the perfectionism of the team though they would then want 12 months to ensure every single cut is to the same level as the ones they have been producing since time began! lol. We'll see what happens in the near future...

Nah - pretty sure everything there is standard so a Micropower and regular daisy chain should rock it!

[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1334220260' post='1612589'] Yeah all your pedals you've listed are centre negative so I'd just go with the Micropower and a short daisy chain personally. No particular reason to need isolated supplies with those. [/quote] I was just going to make that observation - I can't see anything there thats battery only!? Or centre positive...? No to whore myself out too much but theres plenty of info/suggestions etc here [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/2012/4/7/signal-chain-bassics-part-vi-pedal-power.html"]Shep on Bass - Pedal Power[/url]

[quote name='cm261' timestamp='1334213811' post='1612529'] Well with only three pedals you could go for the Diago Micropower, with an adaptor, rather than its bigger brother. Just taken delivery of one myself - perfect. [/quote] ^ This. Super reliable and adapters available for what you need.

That last point is a good one... Though I do use 5 foogers and this is the only one suffering... Though it is an original big briar one and the others are slightly newer. I'll give your suggestion a go! Touching the switch gives a 'slightly' louder hum (in volume) than touching the metal chassis and in either case, also touching anything else metal removes the noise. I'll try your suggestion tomorrow if I get chance.
