    I used the Line6 Bass pod XT for a number of years, both live and in the studio, now replaced with a Tech21 GED2112, but both have an old Boss Bass Chorus pedal on the FX loop as none of the choruses I've tried sound the same on the rare occasion I use it on the fretless... Analogue has it's place as it doesn't sound the same as digital, that said, digital has great advantages in the studio and live.

    Without doubt Mick Karn was once of the most original players out there, that Japan catalogue still sounds like nothing else on the market. Lovely fellow, sadly missed.

    You might actually be better off looking for a second hand Clarett 8pre, rather than buying a separate preamp. I know it's a stretch but they come up on EvilBay fairly frequently.

    I, on the other hand, record bass with a stack of AUD plug-ins and amp models... I also record vocals with plug-ins and delay and reverb, plus dynamics and EQ for drums... TB does indeed work if you're going down that route.

    The pre's do sound better though, and the headphone amps are really nice... C'mon Si, don't make me do your job for you...

    The obvious difference is the reduced latency with the Clarett interface over Thunderbolt, I'd have though... I use the Clarett 8pre X and have no issues at all with tracking multiple inputs whilst using plug-ins, and whilst I don't think the latency with USB is particularly bad, the TB connection is faster. I'd go with the Clarett if you really don't need all the I/O that the 18i8 offers.

    Spirit of Radio by Rush... I blame Geddy Lee for my habit of hitting the strings so hard... According to Melodyn I push the bass 10-15% sharp...

    Oh yes, the old BSS box, I've still got one of those in a drawer somewhere, used to use them all the time before the Phoenix Audio and RND stuff came along. Good call.

    I've had a couple of Bartolini pres in basses, had a 3 band in the Tony Levin OLP that was brilliant, very powerful and easy to use, I have a slightly different Bart in my fretless, bass/treble stack with a midrange push-pull selector. Again, very useful. I do find, however that I only tend to use the EQ to iron out sound issues onstage, and I leave it flat in the studio, preferring to use the EQ in the pre or desk and then plug-ins in the mix.

    Bought and sold stuff here for years, never had a bad exchange, everyone's polite and the couple of people I've met have been friendly and honest fellows to a man. Only problem I've encountered is the lack of interest in some of the dodgy kit I've advertised sometimes...!

    It's top of my wishlist. Some of the other units mentioned look great though, I'm going to have to do a bit of comparison.

    The Rupert Neve DI is a bloody marvel, a seriously great peice of kit, if you’re going to splash out, do yourself (and your engineer) a favour and try one.

    Barefaced Big Twin T and Super Twin T, both with a hefty power amp and pre-amp, never had a problem in rehearsals, even with a very hard hitting drummer and guitarist playing some filthy rock. Big Twin is a great gig cab too, light and loud and very easy to hear onstage, it's easy to move around (designed to fit in the boot of a Honda Civic according to Alex...) but it's not cheap. Can't recommend them highly enough.

    Done, good luck with the rest of the funds.

    I hear that the super flightcase and the powered PB300 cab will keep up with most kits, that’s 12 drivers. Oddly that rig is in the Marketplace in red right now....

    I'm currently running a Sansamp GED2112 into a Super Flightcase, and it's been excellent so far, the PJB is very articulate but has enough bottom to push the sound I need, even with a 5 string. It's probably not loud enough to compete with a full band without PA support, but I'm studio based for the most part and I don't need the volume. Sound wise I think it's a brilliant amp, whatever you put in the front end comes out sounding the way you'd expect.

    Never going to happen, you've heard Red Barchetta, you'll take my enormously loud and heavy backline when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers, etc. etc. Lovely cabs these. GLWTS.

    Depends what you’re recording and what you’re recording with... Solo virtuoso acoustic guitar with a Neumann U47 through a Neve Shelford channel: 96Khz General MIDI drums and a guitar through a knockoff SM57 copy: 44.1Khz, or indeed a dictaphone....

    G'wan, you know you want to...
  20. WinterMute
    Really don't want to eBay this, they're scary people...
  21. WinterMute
    Dropped to £200, please don't make me eBay it, they're all nuts over there...

    I’d suggest something like this: https://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_multimix_4usb.htm decent build quality and a usb that won’t be too latent, you’ll need a mini jack to 2x1/4” cable for your iPad.

    Bought Uros' PJB BG300 Super Flightcase. Excellent chap to deal with, great communication and the unit came well protected and on time. Deal with confidence.

    The line6 Pod XT kit has a USB socket that allows it to act as an interface in it’s own right, you just select it as the input device in the DAW and it passes the audio through digitally. I don’t know if Digitech does the same thing.
  25. WinterMute
    I think the multiple input approach works really well if you're unsure as to the tone you're going to need in the final mix, if you're certain it'll be the one you're using, print it and damn the torpedos.
