I had to raise it a little bit so that my Cioks SOL could fit perfectly without touching the floor. Quote

Sibob Posted June 24 Posted June 24 (edited) A couple of little changes thanks to @tayste_2000: Swapped out my 3Leaf Enabler for the Shiftline Olympic MkIIIs on the Nano, powered by a Cioks Sol, running the Olympic and OC2 at 12v: Swapped out my MXR Studio Compressor for the Diamond Bass Comp Jnr on the Nano+, powered by a Cioks DC5, running the Diamond at 18v: That is all for now 😀 Si Edited June 25 by Sibob 9 Quote

My doubling gig has become a full on acoustic gig (with PA support of course) so I’ve decided to go with two boards as the combined board was starting to look like I might be over compensating for something. This will be the electric bass board and has only what I need to make my beautiful basses sound more beautiful. The Capo and the Empress are recent purchases but boy are they good/worth the money in my book. So, following on from my earlier post with the electric bass board, some goodies arrived this morning from Anderson’s to complete the meagre double bass / EUB board. Everything I need and nothing I don’t 😎 3 Quote

I really like it (as you’d expect), it’s way more characterful than the MXR (which is either a good thing or a bad thing for you haha). The MXR is very transparent, which is great of course, but a different result to what I want in this case, which is wanting to thicken things up and add some ‘magic’ while also taming some heavy pick playing.

But we’ll see how it goes! Si Edited June 25 by Sibob 1 Quote
Bagman Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Some obvious tidying up yet the Vitoos PSU is excellent The Walrus is very accurate but yet to figure out how to turn its screen off. I don’t need a live tuning report 2 Quote

I’m gonna buy one of these or another Lusithand Alma next time I’m feing flush and one comes up for a good price. I fancy a DCX Bass too, but I may just buy a Valeton GP-5 for £68 and run the NAM captures from Tone3000 on it 😁 Quote

There will be a lot of this, buying pedals I’ve wanted to try but have no intention of keeping, so the video and sell them on. It’s been quite fun even if most of the comments are…. Not really my sound but thanks 😂 I’d try the Lusithand Rosa next as I liked the tilt eq of the diamond but don’t really need the compression. I do love how these top mounted jack pedals look on a board though. 1 Quote
YellowLedBetterBass Posted Friday at 08:16 Posted Friday at 08:16 (edited) I put this massive board together out of all of the bits I actually use during an average rehearsal. Covers everything I need. I've got it set up so in A/B mode it swaps between a slightly driven SVT and a very distorted SVT. Then for stomp box mode I've got it loaded with a Darkglass Microtubes capture and a Sansamp Bass Driver capture, and I'll test those two captures out and go with whatever I prefer on the day. My setup doesn't need to be any more complex than that. Edited Friday at 08:18 by YellowLedBetterBass 10 Quote
