Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1330701238' post='1561871'] Ok, i'll be watching this forum for the link. My wah is a 3Leaf GR, it's a Lovetone clone and no expression, just plain simple auto-wah. [/quote] I know it well - It's on my pedalboard as well. My fav' envelope filter. :-) -

Cheers buddy! Wah is a modulation! Depending on what you have, I'd assume its a band pass filter controlled by expression pedal... :-) LFO's and the like can take some real exploration so I thought I'd work on a run down of all the 'basic' styles of modulation and LFO's and how they react to low frequencies etc with some listening examples... Gimme a week! -
[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1330555147' post='1559499'] WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? haha . One monster cab, coupled with a monster pedal board and a B-E-A-utiful bass. The extra 10hz lower this can does really makes a difference I think in getting super big clean lows. Not that the Compact is lacking. The BigTwinT is the perfect full range solution and Alex is super confident about his tweeter not blowing. even with Shep's sonic abuse! [/quote] I've thrown my all at it and that Tweeter is going strong! Very impressed!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1330688358' post='1561539'] Great reading Shep! I also use my comp in the end (signal path on my sig) and find it's the best place for it to tame all the spikes generated by the fx. I use the EBS because it doesn't add (much, i suppose) volume to to signal when you play softer so that helps keeping my dynamics intact, i only need compression to soften the spikes. Keep posting more of this great stuf and share the links with us, congratulations [/quote] Thanks bud, really means a lot that folks enjoy reading this stuff. Post your reply on the blog as a comment as well - it encourages others to post! :-) Hopefully soon my blog posts will also be shared with the new 'Blog' tab at the top of the forum as well. I think the next post is looking like it will be Modulation vs Bass Frequencies... -

Neither could I! The bumpf about it is a bit rubbish. Basically it's a few tonal tweaks. From what I can tell those differences are very minor on a bass but stand out a little more with high end sound sources. I would describe the digital delay settings of the iB Mod version to have more attack and be a little choppier (though analogue and tape settings seem to be the same), also the modulation settings seem to be crisper and more refined. They are quite minor though! I'm told the panning and ping pong settings are the most changed versions but as I'll be using it in mono it doesn't effect me. I imagine the 'regular' version would impress me just as much. I'm not sure but I think the standard version only outputs tempo in milliseconds too (I forgot to check when I played them both) where as the iB version has MS and BPM options. -

I like to support BC an all that so I thought I'd ask the community before I take it to Dan @ Music Inn or Colin @ Dave Mann. Some audible static issues/possible grounding work on a bass. I have exhausted every option at home and with my limited electronics experience, including EVERY bit of advice from others I'm every thread of the last 2 years on Basschat with folks asking for help over 'similar' issues. So anyone do this for a living in the community near by? Shep

[quote name='eubassix' timestamp='1330435061' post='1557371'] Thanks, Shep: was that yours recently (currently?) up on ebay (modified knobs but no case - just a gig-bag) ? [/quote] Sounds like mine - but not sold by me! I changed the knobs for HipShot O-Ring ones. Mine was traded with Mr Bassman on here so he may of eBay'd it off.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1330415787' post='1556925'] I reckon that's about as close as it gets to a sublimely versatile rig. [/quote] Pretty much. The Genz is warmer and less hi-fi than I'm used to, but it has waaaaaaaaay more BALLS than I've ever had from an amp before and the sound just seems to really owe itself well to this cab. They are a fantastic pairing.

Yup - impressive mate. Fancy putting my board together in pictures? See you in a few years -
[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1330385588' post='1556782'] It's this one [/quote] Yeah thats the one I had. Sounds wicked. Maybe my amp/bass etc though too. Let us know how you get on in the band. Reuben! I supported them on main stage at Nottingham Rock City some years back. They were pretty awesome that night, but I was preoccupied with the fact I was playing on the same stage I'd seen all the bands I'd idolised playing on. Cool stuff.

Have you used it with the band/live yet? I loved mine for jamming until I needed to be heard in a mix....

Great set up Eskimo - Though I'd hate to see you try and stomp that Xerograph! I have some incoming additions to the board so should have some new pictures soon... -
[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1330383269' post='1556738'] With the Hipshot quick loading bridge, you can swap strings in like 2 minutes, not a big deal, IMO. [/quote] Agreed!

Always up for that. We are doing some European dates with 'Alright The Captain' later this year (check em' out if you have not already) and hopefully we'll get on the rad with them in the UK too. Quite a gap to cover between Nottingham & Aberdeen though!

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1330379693' post='1556634'] To be honest, let me play the roscoe and pedalboard and i'll be your wife! hahaha! [/quote] Interesting. I usually just say bring some biscuits to the studio and all is good. You're really keen! Currently running the Roscoe > Pedalboard > Genz Streamliner 900 > Big Twin T. BOOM! Find yourself in Nottingham anytime soon and the door is always open. For you to have a few hours trying stuff out, not to be my wife!

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1330378236' post='1556589'] I vote you move to Aberdeen dude [/quote] Ha. I'll see if I can escape the wife :-)

Its great to see so many Barefaced cabs going to bass players. Seeing little companies grow into big companies based on the quality of the product is a seriously good thing!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1330373075' post='1556459'] I just saw on the blog it'll be strung E-C. After playing the 6'er with that big B! surely you'll miss that? I would have though tthe low B is more important than a high C?? [/quote] Its been a real tough decision that one! True the Roscoe B is MASSIVE but with Our Helical Mind I actually use the B very little as I am generally playing an Octave higher with the sub octave pedal (so using the range of the B string without using the string). For the last few shows I've actually only used the B on 1 tune. I actually use the C quite a lot though with all the harmony and ambient stuff and would miss that far more. The Hipshot Xtender will let me drop the E string to a B nice and easy, though I don't expect it to have the impact of the low B on my fretless you heard the other day. It will at least there for when I do need it and do other musical stuff away from the core of my music. At the end of the day, I can always restring and set up again. In reality the 32" B will still be great, but never as massive as the 35" scale B. I will miss that 'growl' though! (Thats why you need to buy it so I can nip down the road and borrow it every so often! :-)).

THIS IS NOW SOLD!! Hey folks, This amp is under my care, but is basically something we found in the store room at work, so I'm selling it on to put lots of money in the tea and biscuit tin at work! Its a Hartke HA4000 which has been well gigged by the look of it. It has a number of scratches and scuffs etc, but is structurally sound. I've had this at my studio to test it out for a few weeks and it has a fault/issue, which I suspect is an easy fix, but as it was purchased from a customer some time ago the boys at work are reluctant to spend any money on it. I'll try and detail the issue as much as I can... I suspect the amp just needs new input jacks putting in. Basically when the amp is powered up and a jack is inserted into either of the inputs it makes popping and banging noises (through the speaker). Wigging the jacks makes it happen more. The noises are very loud and are unaffected by any of the front panel controls other than turning the volume down. I suspect a dry solder joint etc, but the jack sockets are square sealed 'tubes' so I can't see inside them. Switch cleaner has not helped. What I can tell you is that in the moments of silence between the noises I have played with the all the EQ etc and everything within the preamp section seems to function correctly. I also used my EBS preamp into the effects return to treat the Hartke as a power amp and in this method it functions perfectly without noise or issue so the problem is clearly at the input stage. Actually, as a 400w power amp it was pretty good and I used it for a few rehearsals so can promise the power section is working great. The amp owes us £80 so thats what I'm asking for it. These seems to go for over double this on eBay so if its the easy fix I think it will be then this is an Uber bargain. I'd recommend picking it up from Nottingham as Postage will be a bit on top (Maybe £10-15 with a courier) and if you would like to come and check it all out in advance and witness the noises etc then you are welcome to. It's sold as seen though in full knowledge that it has a fault so no refund if you can't fix it!. Pics to show condition (internally looks fine other than being a bit dusty!)...
