Hi, I have a drum computer, a few synths and a four-track recorder at home and I greatly enjoy making simple electronic songs. Every once in a while, I try to integrate my stingray in these mixes, but always ends up sounding really awkward. It's like the bass just doesn't belong there...

I have to turn the volume up about 10% compared to the old Trace 2x15 at the same gig. When coupled with my 100 watt tube amp it is loud enough for my shoegazy band though. I'm not good at talking tone, but I really like the mids and highs (For the reference: I don't like tweeters). It is...

Mine became my to-go cab. I've compared it to my old Trace 2x15. First impressions: - Quieter than the 2x15... The 69'er is a sealed cab and is not going to win any loudness wars against big, ported designs. - brighter than the 2x15... Luckily, it's bright in a good way. The 69'er...

I pay monthly Spotify fees, occasionally buy CD's and try to collect my favourite albums on vinyl.

I was quoting a line from the movie "Blue Velvet". I've never tasted Heineken myself, so not a serious comment :p. I guess it's only funny from a Belgian point of view. Over here, Heineken is generally looked down upon. I've heard that it's hip to drink Heineken in Italy, though.

I've received mine. I'll be writing a review when I've gigged it. First impressions are definitely positive. Also, very easy to move/carry. Sadly, we haven't any gigs scheduled before the end of august.

"What kind of beer do you like? Heineken. Heineken? **** that ****! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

No always on pedal. For me, effects are a bonus, but expendable. I don't even always bring my pedals to gigs.

I love the sound of a stingray into a fender bassman... Does that count?

Strange... In Belgium and the Netherlands BMW's are common, but still considered pretty classy. In Germany there's LOTS of BMW's and Mercedes' on autobahn :p. I guess cars that are considered really "wow" over here would be Ferrari, Mazerati, Porsche, upper models Mercedes and BMW (especially...

Band's around for almost 8 years and we finally recorded :). EP will be finished this summer... https://soundcloud.com/suitcasemoney#play

Mine smells kind of sweet. Tolex and heat

Perhaps he just stumbled across your Bandcamp page and really liked the music?

All of us have smartphones and communication is usually done in a private facebook group.

Anything by Kavinsky

Ordered one!

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I might want to check it out.

I'm looking for an affordable cab that allows me to push my amp a bit (full tube, 100 watt). Use would be mainly for smaller gigs and recording. I've tried it with my 2x15, but by the time the amp starts breaking up, it's already too loud :p. The amp is custom made and only seems to start...

I can imagine people suffering from back pains searching for lighter basses...

Same :p

Most: Can, John Frusciante, Bowie, Devo... Least: AC/DC

True, I also usually use mine with the built in sequencer or a keyboard and the presets aren't exactly inspiring. It takes some tweaking of the presets to get a decent bass/guitar sound out of it. I'm not sure whether it's something I'd actually use, but to me it seems interesting enough to...

In my opinion, there's a "synth pedal" that's flying under the radar: DSI Evolver desktop synth. It's actually a synth but it really offers a lot of processing options. I have one and read on the internet that it's quite the beast for experimental guitar processing. Yesterday, I decided to...

Well, not really :p. I'm just not that much into amps anymore (although I'm still a huge pedal and synth-geek). They serve their purpose, but as long as I can get a decent sound out of 'm, they're OK for me. If someone has an old, decent amp lying around that I can use, I won't bring my own...

Maybe I'd better sell the tube head (it was 1700$ and the shop where it came from is quite known in Belgium, so I guess I'd be able to get a decent price for it) and buy the peavey combo to leave in one rehearsal space and then buy an old trace elliot head (also plenty of those for sale over...

My amp is custom made by a local tube amp serviceman. The design is largely based on the Bassman 110. To quote the maker: The circuit has been adapted here and there to make it more fit for use with an electric bass. My 2x15 is a trace elliot from the early 90's. FYI, we have 3...

Thanks for the reply. It's not only practice locations. It's also gigs for both bands that has me moving the cab in and out of those basements. And a 100 watt amp needs a big cab to make it through the mix in louder bands (which limits me to buying another big cab).

Right now I'm using a 2x15 with a 100 watt tube amp. I'm getting really tired of hauling it around. Both bands I'm in rehearse in basements that can only be accessed through narrow stairways (the cab has to be tilted in order to fit through). Expectedly, the other band members are becoming less...

I play in a band that gets a lot of comparisons to Joy Division, the Cure and the Editors too. We were once booked for a birthday party gig. The one who's birthday it was, is a fan of our music (he booked us three times by now). All of the other bands that played that evening were black...

I'm someone who always winds up in more bands than I can manage. I guess I just can't say "no". At this moment I'm in three bands. I also have a solo project and a job that steals away about 12 hours a day. Next to that, my girlfriend gets annoyed if I don't see her at least four evenings a...

I'm really into the Tri Repetae ablum at the moment. I'll definitely give Oversteps a spin.

Cocteau Twins are awesome! Lots of Autechre the last few weeks. Today: Vangelis - Blade Runner, Björk - Biophilia and NIN - The Downward Spiral

What would happen if someone was burried with that Mothman bass?

Hi, I've been recording a lot of riffs and ideas lately. For this, I use a Radial JDI, a four track tape studio and a Sennheiser HD-558. As I have been doing this, I found out that it was really easy to get my bass to sound exactly the way I want it to (fairly smooth and hi-fi, but not harsh...

Seen it and kind of interested. I'm more likely to wait for a good poly to pop up though.

Problem is that I usually record on compact cassette. Anyhow, I'm planning to convert some of those cassettes to mp3 in the near future so then I'll be posting some samples :).

Yes, that should certainly work :). I also have a little 3-channel Mackie mixer which might be perfect for the job.

A small update as to give some closure to this topic: I still have the Oberheim Sem but it turned into my "studio synth" and is mostly controlled by sequencers. Nowadays, I'm using an Arturia Minibrute as my "Stage synth". I also got the SEM to work on that same mixer that distorted like...

@ Rickenboogie With the minibrute it's possible to configure a treshold level for the audio in. When the audio in meets this treshold, the envelopes are triggered. That's why I'd use this synth for processing bass. Clean boost seems like the cheapest way of doing it. It's only that I'm...

That Minitaur filter also sounds great :p. I'm really happy with the Minibrute. Great little synth! Soundwise, I still prefer the Oberheim (I'm keeping both :p), but the Brute is so small and easy. No hassle at all. My amp doesn't have a line out jack and the DI is passive so all it'll give...
