Really great clinic IMO, they’re kinda the bass duo that I didn’t know I needed, polar opposites in some respects and that plays off against one another very well. They’re also very similar in many respects, so it was interesting to see that come out. I’m glad that it didn’t just turn into a HX Stomp ‘how to’, it was essentially one big Q&A from the start, and there were some great conversation and playing as a result. It was a little over 2 hours, but could quite easily have been longer….but a big band needed the room to sound check haha. 10/10 would watch again! Si

Carthy! 🤣

Sounds like this might go down a similar path to Tecamp/Eich (which has seemingly worked out well for Thomas). I’ve only ever had one interaction with Phil, at NAMM a few years ago, and he was lovely. Hope he finds a positive way forward! Si

Threads merged. Si

Oh sorry, I misunderstood then. Yeah I’d expect a dynamic amp effect to break-up in the standard way. If it doesn’t, that is somewhat odd. Si

I’m not sure I quite understand your first sentence?! In that case, you’re not making the amp break-up, you’re just introducing a drive circuit before it, which is then being amplified. The test would be putting a significant clean boost in front of the amp capture, and seeing if that drives it. With no horse in the race, I too would not expect an amp capture to break-up, as it doesn’t have the information to do that in the same way a dynamic, controllable effect does, it’s just a snapshot of a single sound. I’d probably expect digital clipping (bad) before you achieved anything useable. But happy to be proven wrong of course. Si

Yup, ex-Bass Worlder here, but no recollection as to how long that was for. Joined BC on 30th May 2007 it seems! Si

I’ve PM’d you @AJC08 Si

They’re called pedals because you operate them with your foot. All of the setups you have replied to are footswitch operated by the guitarist/bassist in order to achieve different tones. Colloquially, they are all pedals on boards, hence pedalboards. Move on. Si

I’ve used my Markbass LM2’s with a Barefaced Super Compact (plus a G2 Midget sometimes) for years now, my fave amp combo ever, and I’ve experimented with a whole bunch. So if you have the budget, one of their Super Minis would definitely do the job (and then some). https://barefacedaudio.com/products/super-midget Si

I’ll stick with La Bella 760FL’s at half the price! Si

I suspect there will be losses for some customers as their operating costs would have been partly funded by ticket sales….so will have been partly spent I expect. This is what I mean, they’re not coming back from this, next year won’t happen, either because they won’t bother, or even less people will engage with it and it will be cancelled again. Which is a shame. Si

I’m in the ‘hair covering the headstock’ camp I’m afraid. 🤣 Si

I’m in the ‘jacket covering the headstock’ camp I’m afraid 🙂. Si

See you all there! Si

Very cool! Si

I mean, it’s just a combination of loudness, EQ and setup no? Boosted mids and highs, a healthy ‘clank’ to your setup and attack/play style, then just let your amp do the loudness if you need more. The LH-3 is much less polite than the previous Bartolini setup they used. I actually prefer the Barts, but for ‘aggressive’, the LH-3 stuff is great. In any case, either bass will be awesome, I’m just saying don’t sleep on the 55-02, extremely versatile, quad-coil bridge pickup etc. Si

@AJC08 Sometimes I think that people mistake loudness for tonal aggressiveness. MFD pickups are indeed loud! But the Lakland LH3 pickup/pre system is equal to them tonally I’d say. So with that said, perhaps you’re looking at the wrong Lakland?! You‘re seemingly not bothered about having a FSO (Fender Shaped Object) bass, because of your G&L suggestion, so why not look at a Lakland 55-02 instead?! More expensive than the Tributes, but more versatile I think. Si

Love this, really want to try one!! There was one on eBay for a good price for a little bit, but I couldn’t make it happen in time. Si

Yeah that’s not gonna be a thing is it! They’re done, let’s face it. Si

Without wanting to be a downer, and it’s a shame that this is my reaction to this particular event…but is anyone actually surprised? It seemed like a scam from the start, not saying it was, but that’s not the kind of optics that leads to a successful pre-event ticketing campaign. Si

Yes, the original was an NPN, that’s what’s in the schematic I posted no? Cheers Si
