Salt on your Bass?

Ok, so ill post something more sensible tomorrow, but sh*t this ris is mazing!! First time ive managed to run it all out and wirh my shutte 9 you can really bring some thunder! Ive had a few beers mid ans post session so will poat mire coherence tomorrow, but tgis is s light, so easy to move nd so assive its obscene! Been an owner and a lover if the compct for a while but as a rig, this KILLS! Sorry about the oaragraphs and selling, ill post a pic ans more sensibe wordsater, just so xcited nd happty! Join me!!

I used an ashdown mag combo last night 410. With my peda board in front got some pretty thunderous tones out of it. Normally i receive any combination of a peavey tour head, paired with an ampeg 810 which sounds like its eaten a few too many tins of beans, or a coupe of ampeg 115s, or somertimes a trace 115 with an ampeg. A real mish mash. I guess its part of the fun of booking at some places, guessing what room and kit youre gonna get. Theres such a difference in my tone depending on the room alone, and as a band. On the cost side though were skinned alive compared to some of you guys. 66 quid for 4 hours including backine. Its alaska , london waterloo. Only place that works logistically. Taking my own rig tomorrow . Snow dependant, and cant wait!

Sounds like a nice plan, i think i may be interested in this as well. Its an absolute pin in the ase trying to kick that mid song! Even more so for me as i have it in the middle of pedal board!

WOW!! Got any samples?

I'm going to need another night or two! Here is a snap shot from my .modular synth section' which makes up about a quarter of the setup... Just add octave! Shep[/quote]

Thanks man. That sounds pretty big! Do you run one at the moment? how does it fair live? I've currnetly got a blowtorch, but think its a little too smooth sometimes......

Not meaning to derail this thread but do you have any soundclips of this anywhere? Looks pretty tasty and nice functions! Might drop them a line.

Vt bass deluxe does me nicely. Also a big +1 on dave halls stuff. Tc electronics nova drive might suit also, but not sure how that is on bass! :-)

I run the vt on pretty extreme overdrive/distortion settings for the basis of my tone most of the time. The mxr is definitely a bit too smooth on its own, i always have the gain cranked on it. Been thinking about whether a swollen pickle would be a more aggressive option than the blow torch, i do love the torch, justooking for more aggression sometimes. Then again, the turbo rat does a nice job of that for me ...... think ill see how that couples with the torch actually, as i hadnt put it on the board!!

My first board! just got the PT2 and EHM Memory man with hazarai from my good lady for my birthday!! Great stuff!! Looking at getting a Pitchblack, and maybe swapping out the blowtorch for something else....but not sure.....definitely got the bug!!! Also thinking about th EHX Freeze. Using the velcro from the PT2 at the moment, and seems all good - nothing seems to move!! So the order: Weeping Demon>VT Bass Deluxe>Blowtorch>TC Nova Modulator>Ehx Memory Man with hazarai....all goes to a shuttle 9 and a coupla barefaced cabs. Love it!!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I checked out everything, and nothing fitted any better than the warlock bag I already had, so I ended up going the custom route. It was expensive , but I think well worth it as it arrived yesterday. I bought from Glenn Cronkhite in the US, and had it imported. Took about 7-8 weeks from me posting a tracing of my bass to receiiving the finished product, but what I have is a fully handmade, leather, totally custom fitted case that is a comfy carry and doesnt ride too high over my head (I can now walk down the tunnels at London Bridge Station, and get on and off of trains without a full dismount, remount and juggle all my other gear scenario!) I'll post some pictures in the next couple of days for reference, but wanted to say thanks for the suggestions, and thought I'd splash Glenns name about here as the workmanship really is top notch. Anyway, pics to follow in a couple of days! Edit: just realised I should probably have posted this in the accessories forum! woops! sorry!!

Havent tried the memory boy but have the memory man with hazarai. Love the looper and reverse delay and like building noise with infiniye repeats. I love the weirdness you can get out of delays, especilly with a distortion or fuzz. Cant hep with the comparison though man, sorry. Great vlue pedal though in my book based soley what i know and have heard about it! Enjoy!!

Thought about the vt bass, or deluxe? Old school, tubey and a variety of tones packed in there. Totally different to the sansamp. No experience of the m80 im afraid, but thought id throw in another option.

Ive been looking at these , although havent managed to try one. Can you achieve similar results with a looper on a really short loop? Might have to try one out.

Conversely i just picked up the vt bass deluxe and iove it! Great that tech21 are round these parts now! Thanks for the gret work guys! Try em both, see what floats your boat, and in a band contxt as wel. [quote name='josh3184' post='996267' date='Oct 21 2010, 07:24 PM']Oh wow, hello tech21! Good to have another manufacturer on the forum To philipleonard I've only got experience with the BDDI but it's a really good pedal, you can get some fantastic tones out of it[/quote]

Vt deluxe has a di, and is designed 2 banks of 3 presets for different instruments, with inputs for both. Different tones between the units though. Check u tub. :-)
