I converted my P to a V-B-T PJ but i put in a homemade preamp with an active blend specifically to balance out the problems with blending pickups. I can't reccomend this enough. Audre, Glock, East and ACG preamps with active blends. If you have some electronics skill, it's easy as pi to...

Thanks gastric. They sound good enough to withstand the casual listen, based on the setup tehre. Whether they really cut the mustard, maybe i'll know after i spend a few months with one ;)

dug dog: that's the approach i'm looking at. i would be running GT-10B -> desk -> In Ear Monitors (+ pa poweramp and cab for louder gigs) i guess my question is this: does the preamp+cab modelling in the boss GT-10B cut the mustard? considering i REALLY hated the bass pod models (i don't expect...

Do any of guys use the GT-10B as a preamp? either with a In Ear monitor system, or with a power amp and cab? anyone got any comments on doing that? either positive or negative

DR stainless steel Hi-beams all the way. They are super crisp and full on my active P/J. I find them a little harsh on the fingers for the first couple of hours, but once they're got a bit of sweat and grease on them they're perfect. They last forever and i've never had _any_ problems with them...

Bongo: i'll try that, sounds like it'll work to me... John: i'll give it a crack, but mostly i'm looking for that 'held pumping squarewave' sorta sound, like the chorus in the link Jacob J posted Gastric: Yeah, software is probably the most viable solution. And i may give up on trying a...

Bass into lappyis what i do in the studio, but latency issues put me off doing that live. My usual chain is bass->Ohmicide distortion->sidechained compressor. FEA opti-fet sounds interesting. I could definately feed a trigger track to that. I still wonder if there is a way to manage it...

So i'm getting an electro project on the roll, and i'm trying to work out how to get that pumpin electro bass sound In the studio it's done via sidechained compressor fed from a 4 on the floor kick, but i'd like to be able to pull it off live Since most compressor pedals don't take side...

not entirely happy with it in hindsight, but thats how it is eh...

Nice to see some love for karnivool. Probably one of the best Australia has to offer. They pull it off live too!

Sure, there is a lot of 'bad' modern music, repeating the same boring formulae every time. There is alot of (especially here in australia) boring indy sh$t that all sounds the same. There is also a whole ton of superbly crafted pop songs, virtuoso musicians, songs oozing with soul and...

Breadboard, Invalid Link Removed and Perfboard some crazy folks "dead bug" prototype, ie; tape/glue components upside down and solder the ends together. i prefer perfboard personally. Many effect pedals utilise microchips in the form of op-amps, and other ICs. All the prototype boards...

I'm about to ditch my marshall setup for something far more 'pure' and lightweight :P i'll be using the following setup: P/J bass - > XDR wireless -> pedalboard -> ?preamp with di? -> class D poweramp -> 1 or 2 Acme b2's Now, i say ?preamp? because, i'm not sure if i want or need a...

+1 in favour of ODB-3 Mind you, i did get it modified to make the distortion a bit darker. with slight bass boost, slight treble cut, gain at about 1/4, mix at 1/2, mine is perfect for chords. Big muff for the wall of fuzz, odb-3 for distorted chords.. and (for me) sft for overdrive...

if you ever get a chance, dig up an defunct australian band called "Pre shrunk". 2 bassists and a drummer. Best execution i've seen effects wise: delay, wah and a modulation of some form are essential. after those 3, you can pretty much go nuts with everything else. probably the biggest...
