It’s looking like the band will be down tuning a couple of songs by 1/2 - 1 step. A lot of places seem out of stock at the minute though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth checking if they have any. Highly worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I’m also intrigued by the Drop. One band is standard, the other is dropped half a tone. I have two basses. If I’d have been told (or asked, to be fair) earlier than “two days before the audition” I’d have learnt the songs down a fret coz I play 5 string 😂 So does it really track well enough to drop EVERYTHING you play to the set amount and still sound like your bass? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance I use it to play some stuff in drop F# but the bass is tuned to drop A. So I drop it 3 semi tones. I would say the quality of the sound decreases the lower you go and there are slight tonal changes but nothing major. If I was recording or playing regularly in a lower tuning I’d have a bass set up in that tuning. For practise and on the fly tuning it’s great though. I bought it to play at home to covers in low tunings, without the hassle of changing the bass itself. It’s stayed on the board mainly because additional octave function sounds great, tracks really well so I replaced my Aguilar octamiser with it. Really recommend giving it a go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDinsdale Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Mini board with band essentials for an upcoming video/recording session. I wanted to keep it small n simple, it’s pretty EAE heavy 😂 Im trying to weigh up between keeping the OxEAE Fuzz and Dagger or ditching one for the Alma comp. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got me interested in the OxEAE Fuzz. I’m going through a bit of an EAE phase and your choice in pedals is always excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) @admiralchew They do some exellent gear. The OxEAE Fuzz is a beast, it's surprisingly versatile in what it can do but everything it does is pretty gnarly. I think my favourite pedal is still the Halberd, I didn't expect to be blown away but I think it's my second favourite pedal after the Capo.

Sibob Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Made a few changes to my small/‘fly board’. Off comes the CAPO and on goes the Enabler and Cog 66. All on a Pedaltrain Nano powered by a Cioks SOL: Cheers Si 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to build a small fly board and space is crucial The way I have the SOL fixed to the underside (Velcro and a long cable tie), it does sit a little further down than the stock Nano feet can cover. So I bought some larger feet from B&Q for about £2.50 (pic 1 below). They actually fit perfectly over the stock feet (pic 2), pushing on nicely (pic 3), and then popping off to go back in the bag. Gives you a slight rake/angle when in use which is nice (pic 4). In this setup you may well find a ‘naked’ 1590a would fit, I don’t think it would with just the stock feet.

What's the colourfully-knobbed pedal? Yeah, that’s primarily how I’ve used it for the past 5 years or so, as a headphone amp practice tool, so will be fun to get it out on some gigs. The ‘colourful knob’ pedal is a Fuzzdog DIY Tall Font Russian Fuzz with clean blend, mids & diode lift. I wanted something that kinda did what my custom Cog Tarkin does on my main board (similar feature-set, but with an added Gate). This is very cool, but really quite different sounding to the Tarkin, even though that is also based on a Green Muff. So we’ll see if this stays, will gig it and see. Keen to try the MXR Bass Fuzz too. Cheers Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was less impressed with the Drop; it didn't really cut the mustard for me - not noticeably better than my Zoom B1-4 which is a cheap-as-chips multifx, but obviously does a lot else besides. YMMV!

spacecowboy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) New pedal board to allow me to play my bass and my Novation Bass Station through the same rig. The Tone Hammer Pre is at the end for studio recordings or for when I go direct through the house but it's normally bypassed live and eq is done on the TH500 head.

Salt on your Bass? Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Small update on my board....replaced a treble booster with the origin DCX. Sounded pretty ace tonight, need to get to grips with it a bit more but pretty impressed. I need to work out how to potentially best stack it with my fuzz, which may make the muff redundant, but we'll see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
