  1. @LukeFRC Getting a compressor set up correctly often means it's working with and for you rather than against you and some finer tuning will be required across instruments etc as @Osiris and other have said. @Al Krow I've read that the clicks and pops can be 'discharged' by stepping on the pedals on/off switches a few times but this could be the words of a madman or only relative to stand alone fx pedals. Might be worth a try? Turn you amp volume down upon powering up the stomp click the pedal switches on and off a few times and that might deal with it. Oh and buffered bypass will likely be better if you're running heaps of pedals unless you can notice and/or prefer a slightly darker signal....just pick the one which works best for your signal chain.
  2. Tidy I must scroll back and have a look - the FB group?
  3. Holger's done a couple of sweet '51/'55 type P basses with the single coil pick up too!
  4. Huzzah!
  5. It's maybe the firmware - full reset and follow the Line 6 advice might retrieve it as per @Osiris
  6. Try the view button to change the screen display and then scroll with the page button if I recall correctly.
  7. The presets on the stomp are set up to use different methods of hook up such as direct to desk -DIR, 4 cable method 4CM etc get the manual online and have a read. While the stomp is pretty easy to figure out with trial and error (IMO) the manual is really well written and worth the time in conjunction with tweaking. Read and tweak!
  8. I should add I meant that they should have the spec including eq frequencies etc on the site and any notable additions on specific models.
  9. Ibanez website usually has good info on their basses

    You'll not be the first or last
  11. Aye tidy that is! (said in my best Yoda voice!)
  12. Amen!
  13. This is old AATC!
  14. Watched the you tube video. Good to see Tarantino getting some respect for his bass playing. About time what!

    Yeah it sounds like a lot of fun I just thought you were gonna do some audio to mimic the track. Next time!

    Aww I was hoping you'd be coping some tones and showing what the pedal could do in the 80's synth vein!

    Are you using the SYB-1 to overdub some sounds or is this just a speeded up version?
  18. Go on have a peek
  19. There's one in GuitarGuitar Edinburgh!
  20. I'm on night shift for the Edinburgh gig but might get across to Glasgow
  21. I'm not meaning proficiency on the instrument - I think as other's have said we'll always sound like ourselves and while hand position, pick up's, eq can inflect certain tonal changes the 'voice' of the player will always come across. I've heard Stingrays sound aggressive, clangy and up front ripping through a punk song yet I've heard them thick and supportive on disco tracks. If a player want's to develop their voice a single pick up instrument is a great tool with which to develop things like hand placement etc. ergo I don't thing they're over rated or a one trick pony the same way some might feel a p bass is. I've always fancied spending some time with one to hear how I'd sound with it on gigs...but I'd probably just try and make it sound like a passive p bass
  22. I’ve always taken the phrase “sounding like me” to be irrespective of the eq, if it’s a J, P, MM etc. their ‘musical voice’ rather than the ‘tone’ they refer to. How they play, hand placement etc all impact but I see it as similar to handwriting. We can use a cheap bic or a Mont Blanc but once we get over the quality of the tool we're using we’re still either gonna have a beautifully elaborate style or functionally legible scrawl - yes I’m talking to you G.P.’s and doctors 😀 I like to think of it as Punk’s ‘ALL CAPS’ to the flowing cursive of a classical piece. If you’re gonna play well and have your own voice it’ll translate regardless of the tool and if your gonna hit bum notes they’ll sound bad no matter how high end the gear MM or otherwise. I have figured this out from painful live experience 😀
  23. I have that pultec plug in. It’s great. I bet you have a very lovely sound with that combo!!
  24. Math rock = odd time signatures, technical playing and can be described as hard to listen indie-jazz!
  25. The dug, he's in discussion about nabbing one for his other math-rock type endeavours!
