It's so little. It's so loud! Unfortunately this may not be the one I end up keeping, as I was bidding on one on eBay, got outbid, then went to guitar center and picked this one up (at a steal,) only to have the dude that outbid me retract his bid. I might have to return this one to GC and take the eBay one, which will save me about $120, but won't be all new and delicious. This is a seriously righteous amp. All I need is the 112 extension cab for it and I think between that and my Aguilar DB750/AGRO/GS412 rig I'm pretty much set.

I'm not a pedal guy but I don't think I'm going to be able to resist the Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer. quote:Octavius Squeezer includes a dedicated filter circuit bred in our Agent 00Funk and Agent 00Funk Mark II envelope filters. It also includes the fuzz circuit from our Brown Dog gated bass fuzz. A digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your instrument's range and drives an analog synthesizer which can produce various waveforms at either the same pitch as your input, one octave down, one octave up or two octaves up. All of this can be patched, mixed and configured in a variety of ways to give an enormous array of available effects. $650 though

It's not really the hardware (although simplifying the hardware and having the machines and OS made by the same people helps,) CoreAudio is what separates Macs from PC's in the audio realm.

Apple's keeping the 2.1 ghz Polycarbonate Macbook around as a low end model for $999. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook And if you don't care about the DVD Burner, you could get a refurb 2.1 with Combo Drive off store.apple.com for $849. edit: or a refurb 2.2 with superdrive for $999

Specs on the 2.2 Specs on the 2.1 They're both Santa Rosa with 800mhz buses, same ram speed, etc. Here's the difference: quote:Compared to the models each replaced, the MacBook "Early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn" models are powered by modestly faster and more energy-efficient 45 nm "Penryn" processors -- compared to 65 nm "Merom" processors in the "Late 2007" series -- albeit with smaller 3 MB level 2 caches (compared to 4 MB). Anyways I'm not trying to influence you one way or the other or anything, just pointing out that there are plenty of Macbooks under $1000 that you don't have to troll eBay for, including the exact one you were looking for. Apple refurbs are very high quality and have the same warranty as a normal new machine.

Stux posted:Macbook pro can have the 7200rpm hard drive, non pros are stuck with 5400. From Apple, sure, but the non-Aluminum Macbooks were ridiculously easy to change hard drives in. The Pro gives you one step newer / faster of processor, a larger screen, FW800 vs. 400, express card slot, and dedicated video. For audio stuff a Santa Rosa 2.2 Macbook Pro and Macbook will perform identically. Both the 2.2 Macbook and the 2.2 Pro have 4MB of cache, and an 800mhz FSB, so it's just whether the big screen and dedicated video are worth paying for to you.

Thoogsby posted:I think you could get an upright in most cars. I was able to fit mine in a number of small hatchback two doors no problem, but if it's a really small four door with a trunk sometimes the front doors don't open up far enough to get it in the front seat. (By the way, going to test drive a car with an upright in tow, just to be sure it fits, is an easy way to get some laughs.)

Does anyone have a Spider Valve? I want an amp that fits the following criteria: * Fendery clean channel I can push a little bit * Heavy as hell crunch channel * 12" * Tube * Under $600 Every time I go to GC to try amps the SV is the one that pops out. It's versatile, it's inexpensive, it has a Vintage30, and the effects aren't bad, either. I'm not even really a guitar player, just a bass player that happens to be able to play guitar, and I think it would fit my needs really well. For under $600 I could get a SV112 and the FBV shortboard off ebay. Is there anything else out there that compares? poo poo, even the boutique snobs at thegearpage.net dig the SV.

metalhead posted:Pretty sure the new spider valve cabs have v30s. And they're junk. I think the vintage 30 sounds good with the heavier sounds in the Spider Valve, but I like vintage 30's in general. It probably would work even better with a closed back, though. Cleans aren't going to be the greatest with a V30 though.

Scarf posted:How much did you drop on it? I really want an upright but I want something decent that'll last me a good while... and apparently I need to spend like $2k for that :\ If you want decent and durable an Englehart would be a good bet, like an ES-1. You'd still need to take it somewhere to get it set up, but that shouldn't be more than a couple hundred dollars. Or an Upton Laminate would be a great bet, and that one shouldn't require too much work after the fact. Just don't screw up like I did and get a bass with a poly coated fingerboard (EM-1.)  I'm probably going to end up getting an Upton Standard Hybrid in a couple years DEUCE SLUICE fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 7, 2009 |

Two ins/outs for the magnetic pickup out and acoustiphonic piezo out, MIDI in for the Hot Hand MIDI-EXP, and another line out to output the sounds of the MIDI instruments/events in Ableton/Logic/MaxMSP (so it's gotta be FireWire) that I'll be controlling through the Axon AX-50/MIDI-EXP in combo. A sort of all-in-one hub would be great. Motu Ultralite Mk3 would rule for you then. 8 analog ins, ten outs, MIDI, bus powered, small. And yes, you are the good kind of crazy. But you're loving crazy. edit: Oh poo poo, my Stambaugh will be here next week.

MIDI is used to trigger lights all the time. (First example I could find on Google: http://tech.yostengineering.com/midiFolder ) I think you should get a bunch of those big LED light panels and set them up around the stage, triggered by MIDI. Last time I saw Dillinger Escape Plan they had four on stage, programmed with the music. They were very crazy and very bright.

I don't know for sure yet, this thing is like 10 degrees right now so I'm letting it warm up, and I have no amp in my office. It should be mag volume, piezo volume, passive tone, treble mid bass, with the switch for coil tap on the pickup. I gave Chris a lot more leeway on this one so that's why I'm not so sure. Ghost piezo bridge saddles, Nordstrand dual coil, Aguilar OBP3, and a Bart piezo buffer. gently caress. Yes.
