Gibson Basses / Re: If this NR works out, our next project should be one of
« on: January 24, 2008, 02:24:43 AM »
There's already a few other interesting projects in the works guys. I'll keep you posted.
While working on the NR Tbird, BaCH was trying to find a way to make the tooling of the bridge and tailstop affordable. So I suggested they maybe could make more models to use that bridge and tailstop combination, such as a Reverse Thunderbird, a Fenderbird and I even suggested an Embassy. Don't know if they're already working on those. I will ask. Okay?
Can any of you guys provide the measurements and detailed pix?

A friend of mine has a Danelectro Long Horn (not a reissue). They even named the band after that silly little bass made of masonite (sort of compressed cardboard fibre). It sounds real cool.

Almost nailed it:
The effect is a Precision Electronics Vibe Unit plus Fender Vibratone Leslie in the slow mode. Plus a Menatone Red Snapper as a distortion.

« on: January 15, 2008, 12:43:49 PM »I was curious what is you guitarist playing? Great tone.No, it.s not a Strat. It's a handbuilt Aspe. Aspe is a Dutch luthier who until recently had his shop in Arnhem where we live.
The Aspe Superfrankrocker is a strange hybrid mixture between a Strat (pickup configuration), A Les Paul (scale length and bridge/tailstop) and a Gretsch (large and extra thick body).
Frank experimented with a few different kinds of pickups, but he now uses Kinman pickups. The bridge pickup is a minihumbucker.
He use a special gauge 013 strings to get that fat SRV tone.
His amp is a Marshall Super Tremelo (basicly a super lead with a tremelo unit). He bought it from Brian "Robbo" Robertson a few years ago.
I was also curious what is providing that rotary/phaser effect at ~4:00.
I'm not sure what Frank used on this song exactly. I think it's a combination of a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face with a Fender Vibratone. Or maybe a Univibe.
I'll ask our producer. I'm sure he remembers, since it was his idea

I always use my mini-disk multitrack desk as an interface.
On my iMac I use Garageband to record it with.

Other Bass Brands / Warwick Star Bass II
« on: January 15, 2008, 05:28:25 AM »
Never been a fan of Warwick basses. The shapes were always a bit too "amoebic" for my liking. And the "hanging dog ear" machine heads have always looked silly to me.
But I must admit that their latest Star Bass II look downright appealing...
The description on the Warwick site is confusing me. They mention a bolt on whereas the pics show a set neck.
And why would Warwick want to make pickups that look like mudbuckers when they're not?

Beautiful!
Typical those hybrid Gibsons we've seen lately.
Wonder what took "us" so long.

I had the volume of the Ampeg V4B a little over 3. Which is fairly loud. Beyond that point you only get more and more drive.
But of course it is only a 100 watt amp.
The Orange AD200 is a whole lot louder.
I haven't tried the slave output of my AD200 as a DI yet.

Thank you guys. 
No, just a balanced stereo jack plug into the amp and on the other end an XLR straight into the desk.
The result was so good I immediately made a balanced Jack plug for myself to use live on stage.
I remember telling Chris P Dekker this last summer. Because he too needed a pre-amp out for gigs. He doubted if that would work on the Orange AD200B Mk3 he has.
Maybe Chris can chime in and tell us if it worked? Chris, are you there?
Did you use a passive DI box for the slave output Rob? I'm curious of using it on my Orange.

« on: January 13, 2008, 12:48:41 PM »I would even buy an Epi version of the EB-2 or another Rivoli if they'd upgrade that mudbucker somehow.
Maybe that Artec EBC4-CR pickup is an option? I remember Johnny Crab measured it at about 30 ohms!
