  1. Is that a good price or a bit high? Generally speaking
  2. This one does look interesting glad you nabbed it.
  3. Thanks Ben I was being tongue in cheek 😉
  4. Would he have actually played that whole bass part on the track or was this just a look what I can play type video to sell SBL's? I mean I'm not knocking the chops and he's in no way 'gauche' but he's stepped on just about everyone else parts from Chaka to the horns. The MD would have a fit 😫
  5. I was playing with my comp into my Apollo messing with some new DAW preamps and there’s that thing where the bass sound just becomes that bit more ‘professional’ like it’s already been mixed into the track when jamming along to recorded music. Obviously balancing volume counts too but with that wee push on my bass the sound just punched. I love it and f*ck the crowd! I like what my compressor does and I will gladly use it at every conceivable opportunity. If you can’t hear it/feel it/vibe it then that’s cool.
  6. I’m not gonna lie that’s a killer p bass too but I’m drawn to the natural finish. #favouritechild
  7. I have been thinking about it but was keen to nab the new version when it’s back in stock.
  8. I used an Eden power amp for a while the one with a tone control on each channel. It was a fu*king monster! Sledgehammer power!
  9. I’ve enjoyed listening to VP since the Vollmilch album. I’ve enjoyed Joe Dart’s playing since hearing him on The Olllam album around the same time. I was surprises it was the same bassist on both albums to be fair! VP deserve their success as they’re not an overnight sensation which many folk maybe think they are.
  10. Hipsters! More like pranksters! It’s a bunch of hip muso’s having a laugh and EBMM likely don’t care as the 50 extortionate ‘pieces’ likely sold out in about as many minutes. What better marketing can you have really for the target market. The collectors will snap it up without a care in the world for the ‘marketing’ and the fanboi’s will lap it up. Win-Win! EBMM laughs all the way to the bank! It’s when they release the three band eq model that the jig will be up! Or a two volume knob version to control each coil. Crazy hipsters *tut*
  11. 50 people are gonna think they're getting a great bass until they realise they aren't Joe Dart and they're not playing via the Vulf compressor at all times. Not a bass demo but you can hear that signature VP compressed dirty lo-fi crunch. Love it!
  12. Fair enough if anything I said appears off or not of any value feel free to disregard it. You’re posting you opinions and links to your live playing on an open public forum. Watching those videos and commenting on those opinions does not constitute stalking. @ped any views on calling someone a stalker? I jest but you get the point right?
  13. At £1400 I’d have driven down to meet you half way from Scotland. I’ve family in Clenchwarton just outside Kings Lynn so I know the route well 😀
  14. Can I get some clarity for future replies Which posts are you referring to? Constructive feedback citing the things I do on a gig. Dismissing someone who plays fewer gigs that their observations are less valid? @pedSome guidance from the mods please. Cheers.
  15. I don't doubt it's a genuine question but useful how? Would you change your opinion because a world class pro uses a comp live? How many WCP's need to be confirmed comp users before the tide turns? The list of Origin players suggest some do? It echos what was mentioned earlier on this tread. You ask a question, you get some examples but the question alters a little... like the question above. List of players posted including the Killers bassist so then the question evolves... we get the question below. How'd you get on with your search into who uses live and who's just an endorsee? Did you go and have a look? You have started a few threads about compression so you surely must have a pretty solid opinion either way to either confirm or deny the hypothesis or be moved enough to try it in your own experiment live if you really are interested. I will mention this again... You have access to the gear to do this on/off experiment for yourself... with your band... with your gear... at the venues where it will (or will not) make a difference to your sound. I was re-listening to footage from The Century Club gigs on the Sector thread. Why not bring a comp next time you play there when the back line is all taken care of or BoxPark - venues you already have footage from where you can compare if it works for you. If you are genuinely interested you would have used this stuff for yourself ages ago and decided if it was worth using on a regular basis. How many more compression threads and polls do you need to start before you will try it? The main thing I've picked up form so many compressor threads and in practice is that it's a personal feel thing as much as a heard experience. If that isn't important to you than cool but sh*t or get off the pot Here's another video to further prove a point. Feel free to re-word the question after viewing... I’ve played a few gig and my advice to a new aspiring and seasoned pro would be much the same. “You know the tunes, watch thedrummer, relax and keep your head in the game” be that with or without pedals
  16. You’d have to contact each one personally via their Instagram or Twitter accounts because I couldn’t say. I have seen quite a few of the guys with pedal board images with the origin kit in situ. If you’re generally interested though I’m sure you can go and look it up with a cunningly constructed google search. Hers one to get you started you heard of Pino Palladino? https://www.talkbass.com/threads/pino-palladinos-2019-board.1471058/
  17. https://origineffects.com/artists/ This will get you started...
  18. See my edit above
  19. https://origineffects.com/2017/09/20/hanging-out-with-the-killers/ All depends on the player I suppose or the right tool for the task at hand. Cherry picking one example based on the fact there’s no pedal board in the stage does not in any way mean that the rack or off stage down with the road crew there isn’t a tech stomping the switching not only for the guitarist but the bassist too. Many pros have their gear midi sync’d or it’s the secondary role of their tech to do the stomping for them. Having the gear off stage means the performer can perform and any tech issues can be dealt with away form the masses. I heartily recommend rig rundown videos by Premier Guitar for some great and in some cases insightful videos.
  20. If someone doesn’t know what pedal they’re after and are simply buying it for the sake of it then buyer beware 😀 Oh actually an eq would be a great suggestion too. But what would be a good first pedal? Something with a bit of utility that will work across many genres and styles like a comp or would you suggest a flanger? I’m being a bit facetious but it highlights a good point. * first pedal I always recommend is a boss TU-2 (TU-3) tuner! The most utilitarian pedal going and worth its weight in gold! I’m no compression fanboi but I don’t see it as an emperors new cloths item. Years ago I bought a PC-2A, liked it, it got nicked. I didn’t rush out to buy another immediately but when I did feel like trying a comp pedal I was really happy with what I got.
  21. Mix Jesus does it again!
