The Bassist's Effects Line Up

haha, downsized already bro. it was too heavy! found a way to mount my compressor below my pt-2 to now everything fits perfect. lol
 
hi 5stringwonder,

do you mind giving a short review on your radial bassbone? how would you compare it against the other preamps ie sansamp, mxr etc?

I like it a lot. Doesn't colour your tone like the sansamp & m-80. Has a built in effect loop w/boost. Dual channel input/eq for use with 2 Basses / 2 different sounds.

Only issue I have is the weird power requirement (15VDC centre positive) so you won't be able to use batteries with this one.

Killer DI like all other Radial DIs. It's as it's touted a " Bass Control Centre".

The only other preamp/DI that may come close is EBS Microbass.
 
here's mine updated!

+100 on the Bassbone, I have one on my board. Think transparent glass - the bass sound is so clear and clean. The two inputs/channels are awesome, and who can't use an effects loop. It's a great product for those who use even half of its features.

Interestingly, I use the Sansamp as a stompbox rather than a DI =)
 
referring to radial?

got mine from Sim Lim (audio bridge audiobridge@yahoo.com.sg) which is actually " *something* brothers" sorry can't remember the exact store name! simlim second floor near the escalator. some people say they are ex, but my price was fair. email them, or call (from radial website www.radialeng.com)

i also would like to know if anyone else brings them in =)
 
RR, can the ehx synth be used as an octaver?
yup it can, tracking is a bit crap when u go below 5th frets.

it has 4 diff voicings:
sub octave: octave down
guitar: clean
octave: oct up
square wave: fuzz

the fuzz is wayyyy powerful. so the nice thing abt it is that you can mix and match to get your desired tone. so many sliders! but finding what u want is like inventing a lightbulb, 99 attempts before getting it right.

Got mine from Sim Lim too. "Hung Brothers" is the name of the shop.
 
^^ thats the shop that sells lotsa headphones... i got a pair of headphones and ety earplugs from them. roughly.... how much?
 
that kind of price puts it in the range of SD, aguilar, sadowsky or EBS

so if it performs as well as those preamps then yes. but $380 for a di box? nooo....
 
380 for a DI box and control centre with efx loops and 2 inputs.. maybe..

but first a good chorus pedal. has anybody tried the BYOC chorus pedal with bass?

the BYOC chorus is a small clone clone... and i have the small clone. tracking is not bad, but i've been eyeing the ebs unichorus
