[QUOTE=Joelbassman;17733545]It's most likely one for power one for data transfer. Which is pretty archaic afaik.

How large is it (in GB)?[/QUOTE]

500.

Only the dock has that, the cable it came with is just a cable.

funkyhoney 01-04-2010 07:56 PM

And it works either way. :\

I just pulled the trigger and bought a tech21 sansamp vt bass pedal. Anyone have any experience with them?

Ive got one. They're pretty simple straight forward things, but you can find heaps of different tones in there, really tweakable.

The drive is pretty so-so, i use it for a little bit of dirtyness with other things running but the drive itself isnt super great imo but it can add a nice little bit of fat drivey-ness

And relatively cheap too.

On a lighter note: had lsd sugar cubes on new years

Is it anything like the RBI rack?

I have the RBI preamp and I love it. Like the Aguilar OBP's, the tone shaping is very sensitive, so I can push a lot of tones out of it. I only have a little bit of overdrive in my sound, but the thing can get downright dirty and sexy.

I finally got a power supply for my pedals. No more wasting money on batteries!

A lot of overdrive wouldn't really sound good in my band, which is the problem I have with my big muff pi ... it's just way too dirty for the majority of our songs. I'm just looking for a bit of dirt and to fatten up my sound.


on a lighter note: i did that probably 3 or 4 NYE's ago ... 'twas a god time.

Sweet christ. We finally got a drummer.

Welcome to the club!

I just bid on a DOD 4-channel mixer for on-stage use. That way I'll be able to keep all 4 of my basses plugged in and equally leveled for stage use. All I need to do from there is install a killswitch in my 4 main basses.

I'll probably get another one if I can pick it up for $25 or so and blend some effects/dry signals for better level control.

you're going to gig 4 basses?

god. everyone else in soundcheck is gonna hate you fast.

i'm gonna go play in this wondrous snowfall! wheeeeeee

I normally gig 2 basses without my effects chain and I do 99% of my sound-checking at home pre-gig. The sound guys around here only shift levels up and down, so, theoretically, if I can balance my levels really well outside of the gig, I only need to have the soundguy adjust one bass and the others will fall in line.

I'd like to start using a 3rd bass live, because the Stingray + Pick + Stainless Steel strings just has the sexiest tone that I love to use for 3 of our songs. Unforunately my A/B pedal only gives me the ability to use two. It's great for my differently tuned basses (Standard, Half-Step Down).

BenJammin 01-05-2010 03:19 PM

I gig with 1 bass, with my Ibanez around only as backup, in the unlikely case I need it.

FunkMetalBass 01-05-2010 03:23 PM

Do you gig the Stambaugh?

BenJammin 01-05-2010 03:25 PM

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17735584]Do you gig the Stambaugh?[/QUOTE]

Obviously.

It's my best feeling, sounding, and looking bass.

Of course I gig it. :)

I don't play any of my other basses, honestly. The only reason I keep my Ibanez is purely so that I have a backup bass.

Efrim 01-05-2010 03:37 PM

'allo.

Everyone should have a back up instrument, no matter what. It could save a gig one day.

Fair enough. I have a couple basses that I purely use for practice or because I like how they sound recorded (my Fretless Jazz, for instance), but that I would probably never use live.

I figured your question was aimed more at the value of the bass than anything.

Value of the bass is pretty moot. I'd play out a $50,000 bass or a $50 bass as long as it played well and fit the role that I needed it to.

Not a whole lot. We got a drummer today, which is pretty solid.

I'm working part-time at my old job, so I'm not border-line homeless anymore.

Nothing, otherwise.

FunkMetalBass 01-05-2010 04:05 PM

I will never take a winter course again. One semester condensed into 3 weeks is not only brutal, it's Religious Studies of American Religions, which is completely uninteresting. Why did I pay $1400 to take this?!?!?! hsihhggsk gzsb cdk fbdxk fbgkdgjhdxbgjhxdgkjfhdgxrdhxdghxdf!!!! f**k

did you have a fine christmas?

Yeah, it wasn't too bad. Spent most of the last month taking care of my mom, who came down with H1N1. It was good, though. Good eatings and whatnot.

I've had this bass for almost 2 years now, and I can't imagine using any other instrument.

Negative. Not one for syringes, and think the whole thing is overblown. I'll deal with it if I get it.

i got it. it was free and convenient. getting it would be inconvenient.
what exciting foods did you have?

FunkMetalBass 01-05-2010 06:53 PM

Our shirts are simple and sexy.

The guy did a great job on them.
