I am so fu[SIZE="2"]cking[/SIZE] pumped. One of my friends and I have been constantly talking about it for weeks.

[QUOTE=One Groovin Clown;13517271]Have enough bass looping?

But It's nice to listen to. Quite relaxing.

The ting's really fill in the sound.[/QUOTE]

You can never have enough bass looping going.

He's got a f[size=2]ucking[/size] powerful looper, too. I'd kill babies for one of those, but it's worth more than my looper, my ME-50B, and my head put together.

One Groovin Clown 10-26-2006 09:34 PM

Me and my friend had managed to steal on of the 8 foot tall Borat stands.

It's now in his Dorm Room.

One Groovin Clown 10-26-2006 09:35 PM

I use the ME-50b looper occaisioanlly.

It just doesn't record for long enough :(

Efrim 10-26-2006 09:36 PM

Ben, it's good, but I prefer yours. I'll check out some of the other songs too.

User Name 10-26-2006 09:36 PM

I still regret not buying that RC 20.

Dude, the ME-50B blows for looping.

You need one of these:

That's so unbelievably hardcore.

The thing I like, though, is that I kind of see it as an echo of the stuff I'll be able to do as I progress. Above all else, his song structuring is far superior to mine.

I adore his tone, though. Seriously.

/GAS for an Elrick

Efrim 10-26-2006 09:39 PM

Ben, you're much better at recording then he is too. Alot of these are pretty fuzzy.

One Groovin Clown 10-26-2006 09:41 PM

I'm quite enjoying his stuff.

I'm listening to the E-bow sample.

wtf is an E-bow?

[QUOTE=progmegood;13517318]Ben, you're much better at recording then he is too. Alot of these are pretty fuzzy.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. If you watch any of his videos, you'll notice he's using a video camera for it and then just extracting the audio from it. :lol: A very lazy way to do it.

The Brad 10-26-2006 09:41 PM

1 month until I see Cat Power...?

E-Bow is a vibrator for your guitar which produces artificial sustain.

Aaah, that explains it. It's good, very enjoyable, and his arranging skills are very impressive.

Akira 10-26-2006 09:42 PM

Ben, how is the E-bow working on bass? On the website they say it is harder than guitar.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13517331]Aaah, that explains it. It's good, very enjoyable, and his arranging skills are very impressive.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. He's using the Looperlative. :upset: I want one.

[QUOTE=Akira;13517335]Ben, how is the E-bow working on bass? On the website they say it is harder than guitar.[/QUOTE]

Oh, it is, for sure. You've got to compensate for string spacing big time. I also find it's a lot more effective on fretless because when doing slides on a fretted bass, you pick up a lot of the fret-noise.

I like it, though. I mostly use it to add atmospheric texture to songs.


I just realized I have a lot of toys. Am I anywhere in the running for coolest/best setup in the bass forum yet? :upset:

Efrim 10-26-2006 09:46 PM

I want a good looper too, id like to add more bass lines and guitar riffs in front of my main one sometimes.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13517353]I want a good looper too, id like to add more bass lines and guitar riffs in front of my main one sometimes.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. If I ever go crazy and spend a lot of money again (likely), I'll sell you my RC-50 at a good price, because sometime next year if I don't get a custom, I'm gonna buy one of those Looperlatives.

What toys do you have? You've got the looper, and the Ebow, and the multieffects rig (I think), anything else?

One Groovin Clown 10-26-2006 09:48 PM

I want a e-bow.

I use my effects from time to time. (quite Toolish I guess)

An e-bow would be cool to add to the mix.

How much do they go for?

irishslappop 10-26-2006 09:48 PM

i have a pretty basic rig going, but then again, i dont really plan on doing anythign with bass in the future. unless i get out of this twon and start a real band.

You still considering the 8 string?

Well, I've got those, plus my unusually coloured Ibanez, my GK400RB, and my Epifani T-310 when it arrives next week.

I paid $150 for mine. I think they're actually more expensive, but the guy gave me a discount because I bought at the same time I bought my looper.

BenJammin 10-26-2006 09:50 PM

[QUOTE=Akira;13517371]What color?[/QUOTE]

Like, death-black. :p They're supposed to be a red-brown colour, but mine definitely isn't.

And, yeah, I'm still considering the 8 string, but my decision on how many strings I need is always wavering, so I dunno. :lol: I'm terrible like that.

How much did you pay for the RC-50 anyway? I remember it was a good deal...

[QUOTE=progmegood;13517381]How much did you pay for the RC-50 anyway? I remember it was a good deal...[/QUOTE]

I got it for, like $650, taxes in. If I sell it, for you, I'd let it go at $450-ish, depending shipping cost.

Akira 10-26-2006 09:53 PM

That insane Ben. They should offer them in that color.

Brad, whatcha selling?

On the back, in super bright light, there's almost a purple streak running through it. I'm confused. It's definitely still a mahogany body, because I've chipped it in a couple of spots and can see the wood.

I would defnitely be interested. Good thing it's later though, I'm using up my resources for a cab, more pedals, and Jandek CDs.
