The Last Bass Outpost

Yeah, couldn't find a patch that worked on the pedal even with major modification for Entwistle.  I have downloaded patches from the line 6 site and just haven't found one that sounded right to me, not that there is a lack of patches on there supposedly like JAE. I tried starting with a basic tube preamp patch and gave up on that right away because the model is a bit too farty.  
I then went with a clean slate and built a piece at a time, never using too much of anything after reviewing the signal path documentation on The Who's web site. There is some chorus, reverb, distortion, and flange on the patch plus both parametric and graphic EQ, and it gets it pretty close IMHO.  Took me a long time to get the basic patch done to my satisfaction.  Blew the band away...  Once I had the basic one down, i copied it and customized it for the basses i usually use for the Who Tribute. Next project is to build the lead patch for " My Generation" but its not that all fired important.
I have also normalized the output levels using my own board to check the levels so they are all the same. And I guess I also need to update a patch for the epi T Bird... its a lot brighter than the Studio which I have a fair amount of top end in. I really like the pedal, it has been persnikerty at times when playing live.  I have had issues where there was a lot of RF energy (close to an AM radio tower) where it just didn't want to work normally and got noisy.  it is also easy to drag a cord on the control knobs and change the parameters or output volume and not notice it. It will drive you nuts trying to figure out why you have no volume.

Are you using a Line 6 pedal set there? Looks like it - I have one and love it!

Yes it is my Line 6 Bass Podxt LIVE.  I like it too, building the patches takes some patience but worth it when done!  I pretty much run my amp and basses flat tweaking slightly for the venue when needed.

Other than the Pink which is not my favorite choice, it looks awesome. I would love to have an "exploiter" type of bass.

Darth Vader Bird!

Doc - you're a bad influence   My last trip to Autozone produced this:

DAMN YOU AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!

Thats cool... but I don't have the pickup covering hardware.

To a large extent general military history but my special interest would be world war 2 and particularly aviation.  I was watching a lecture given at a US military college the other day and was amazed that as the lecturer (himself a retired Lt. Col.) was presenting his slide show on US Air Power in WWII, I found myself thinking... geeze I could be giving that lecture. 
I find it fascinating how doctrine drove the powers in different directions and to a large extent believe their own BS.  The US with Daytime Precision Bombing, the Germans with the direction that all aircraft must be capable of supporting ground troops and the effect that had on aircraft design etc. Just a personal interest really.

AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHHH....! (chronic gadget phobia)

Welcome aboard...

(but how can any self respecting WHO trib outfit not have a bassist with a FenderBird in the flock...?)

Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it!

I love gadgets... just one of those things.  Drives the other half nuts.

I'd love a Fenderbird, but have limits to the budget for such things.  I kind of skipped from P bass (which John signed for me) to Thunderbird and then to Buzzard, missing the Fenderbird and Alembic basses John was famous for.  I may end up getting or building a Fenderbird in the future, but it is very unlikely i could ever afford one of the Alembics (Gosh those are friggin beautiful).  Perhaps next year when the annual bonus comes at my day job I'll be able to get a Fenderbird... but the wife will probably have something to say about that (less than supportive i suspect).
