If I only had all the delay's I've ever owned still... 3 different eras of memory man pedals, memory boy, malekko lo-if echo, ibanez ad9 (maybe two), carbon copy, supa-puss, echorec, boss dd-20/ rv-3/ps-3/ dm-3,Carl Martin red repeat, digitech digidelay, pigtronix echolution, pharaoh amps echo jr, moog 104sd, and 2 104z's....probably forgetting a few too.

Thanks and I may still have two lead sled Gibby's in the bass garage depending on my ebay listings. Can't wait till my Waterstone Fackenbacker gets here next week. I went a little crazy this income tax time and decided to swap bass gear around.

All boiling down to the moog and timeline and space echo. Now if only icon snag a echoplex

Ron Now · #**567** 02-08-2013, 09:39 PM

Pretty much. Hope this timeline works out. I've been pretty uninterested in digital delays for awhile (5 years or so). Even took me awhile and some convincing before the timeline seemed so appealing.

But I've got high hopes, and these strymon's don't seem to disappoint.

beebassdude · #**568** 02-08-2013, 09:43 PM

you cant use that echoplex live can you? those things are large and i have to imagine the tape in those things is frail at this point. does anyone make replacement tape for them, or can you buy just current tape for them?

dunwichamps · #**569** 02-08-2013, 09:50 PM

You can probably find Tape but they will still need maintenance

dunwichamps · #**570** 02-08-2013, 09:53 PM

Ron how do Ubattach ur moog to the board

Ron Now · #**571** 02-08-2013, 09:57 PM

Beebass - I've used a space echo live a lot. They're more finicky than a pedal, but I've never had a problem. You can get replacement tape if you need it though.

Nick - I removed the rubber feet (and replaced the screws obviously) then put Velcro anywhere there isn't a label or sticker on the bottom.

Corey Y · #**572** 02-08-2013, 10:11 PM

The guitarist in our band has a T40. I borrowed it at practice tonight, I'll make some clips tomorrow.

Hot ****, thanks.

Even with the clips, I'm more interested in what you thought. Living in Boise we rarely get much vintage gear that any decent big city gets.

Corey Y · #**575** 02-08-2013, 10:41 PM

My quick impression, good instrument but definitely a back breaker. Really hot pickups, very deep tone, I thought the bridge pickup sounded best. Which is unusual, as I typically prefer the neck pickup on dual PU basses. The bridge position was a little clearer, the neck PU was a bit too farty for my taste, but it may have just been the amp I was using.

how do you set them up? are they rack mountable or do you just set them next to your board? only ask cause theyre big and bulky, just cant imagine where youd leave one on stage.

Just about to turn in, but there's some interesting stuff going on in the wiring of those things...if memory serves, with the tone pots on full, the pickups are single coil, when you turn them down to 7 or below they become humbuckers...I think

The phase switch, to me with both pickups sounds ...not very good...if you solo a pickup, it gets a bit moe interesting...the tweakiest tone controls on a passive bass that I've ever seen...Thinking of having a local luthier make some lightweight replacement bodies...but may also just hollow mine out a bit in key places

Yeah, I played around with the coil tap and phase switch options briefly. Definitely one of the most tweakable passive basses I've played.
