ped Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I have been draggin' my arse a bit recently when it comes to bass playing. Having just moved house and all sorts of other things I had not taken the time to set up a proper bass practice area in my house. Well today I finally did something about it! It's quite simple, just how I like it. An old Behringer mixer taking a signal from my Roland V-bass and my iPod (or can also be nearby CD player or laptop). The Vbass signal is in stereo so I can play stereo synths and take advantage of the subtle stereo reverbs and so forth. I also feel it 'wraps' around the songs better enabling me to hear myself alongside the recorded track. Sound goes out to my preferred Sure IEMs and bob's yer uncle. Stuck it all on a weird half sized ironing board on a chair. Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The ironing board is a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Oh so THAT'S what is is!!! Well I can't think of a better use for it!! Just been jamming these last few hours, how I have missed playing the bass. To be honest I haven't touched it for a few weeks at least, and I haven't bought a piece of gear for the last year or so. I don't have GAS any more for bas stuff so I can concentrate on my playing now!! ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Rumbled!! I might have to ditch the ironing boardlet for a proper wooden shelf at some point; the pink covering is a little too fruity, even for me. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Contact Dood, he's got something about the right shape that should do the job, nearly the same colour too ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Haha, I would have to wrestle such an object from his steely like predator grip and cover myself in mud so he can't see me with his infra red vision. If he sees me I'm going to have to dodge that shoulder cannon and find my way out of the rainforest before he blows us both to hell, so might be easier to go to a skip and find some wood instead. No harm in asking, though (if you can decipher the gurgles and clicks he communicates in) ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 It's when he activates the wristband and those funny light symbols come up you really need to worry about...think that's when he puts his prog metal Cd's on actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
