Dream Set-Up

[Jwar]

I'm basically at the same point. Got everything really I want as a bass player. Awesome bass, two killer cabs, great tube head, and a full pedal board. Now if I went any other direction it'd be modular and I'm not quite sure I'm ready. I want to be ready, but I'm not. lol

My amp and bass happily reside in a garage, but my synths can't live there, so they and my monitors and such occupy the onl desk I own. And the floor. And join us jwar. Have all the bass shit I want. Need synths.

[Chuckchuck]

Synth-gas has to be the worst among instruments.

[psychic vampire.]

Synth-GAS is the best. A lot of them actually do different things!

[01010111]

The latest iteration...

pedals:
Wolf Computer Deluxe
MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
BitQuest
Malekko 616D (modified for tap tempo input)
Elements
Spectre
Tonal Recall
Jamman Express
Jamman Solo

Utility:
Syncman
Chase Bliss Modified Empress midi adapter
SMARTClock
mooer power supply X2
Patchulator 8000
expressionator
hot hand

Synth stuff:

Minilogue
Volca Sample

I"m not exactly sure how I'd run things with the patchulator, but I'd be able to set the tempo for all the clock-based effects on my board (minus the Bitquest) and the tempo for my synth stuff too. I kinda like running the output from my guitar direct, so, I might just use a DI of some kind into a mixer before running it all into some powered monitors

[Chuckchuck]

I like the Art Tube DI. Cheap but it's ok. One out of three I had took a crap.

[ThorZ]

pretty sure the best setup would be

Guitar > The Elements > 16 Bit quests > Amp

[Iommic Pope]

^Tight.

[Tristan]

My easy to use dream setup would be:

Fender Nocaster / Fender Strat / Gibson ES335
Fender Tweed / Marshall Plexi / Vox AC30

Delay (Avalanche Run / Day Dreamer / Deluxe Memory Man / Gjengangar / ILF Day Delay / Limbo II / No Memory / Tonal Recall)
Drive (Big D / Hustle Drive)
Fuzz (Driving Notion / Harmonic Fragilator / Maypole / Tonebender MKI)
Glitch (Count To Five / Glitch / Judder / Revolver)
Phaser / Vibe / Vibrato (Enterprise / Faye Sing / Mono Vibe / Romferd / Vibe Machine / Viberator / Warped Vinyl / Wombtone)
Tremolo (Gravitas / Tremolessence)
Volume (Visual Volume)

I might eventually also still get some of the stuff with no underscore but I'm not in a rush.

I love this rig. It does so many things for so many styles of music. Fretless is harder, but sounds so much better. I had an SVT once, but it was awful for my back, and I like this GK just as much. Maybe i will have an Ampeg again. Portaflexes seem really nice.

SVT is one of those amps you'd love to own until you do & the passive aspects are realized. Moving it is a pain...and it's painful on the pocket, especially when it needs a new set of tubes it's like the cost of a new amp!
Way too complicated for my liking. Too much power, too. I generally keep a circuit under 100, 35-50 range. Class A or AB responds how I prefer. Feel like if I ever need to go louder, more cabs with more sensitive drivers should get me there.
Fretless bass is really like a whole other instrument, encouraging different types of bends & vibrato than a fretted neck. A marked fretless was my first (and remains #1) bass/instrument. It truly influenced how I approach stringed instruments, even the fretted ones...for the better

And that sound
Flatwounds+smooth neck+big bottle octal tube amp/PA=

I would not mond playing a high quality tube amp for bass in the future, but just now it isn't even what I want. I want... not much. A chorus/flange that can do simple and extreme. Paired with the Blower Box, Oxide, Timebender and/or Particle. Dream set up. Maybe trade out the Particle or the flange/chorus for a filter/synth thing.

[rustywire]

I can dig it
WRT chorus/flange that does simple & extreme...I really want to try a CBA Spectre w/bass.

As a matter of fact, add an all-CBA mod & time board to my dream list. Warped Vinyl, Wombtone, Spectre & the pending delay which ICR its name. I don't need the Gravitas...but feck it throw dat in too
If Joel makes a ringmod I'll add that in its place

Synth-GAS is the best. A lot of them actually do different things!

I meant the worst cost-wise.

[lost in music]

Dream set-up. Right. So I'm back in high school and the teacher calls me up to the front of the class because I'm supposed to present a paper, but I'm not prepared at all - instead of my notebooks, all I have is this guitar! Suddenly I'm naked and I try to hide my nudity with my guitar, but it keeps floating up to the top of the classroom! Then all my teeth break and fall out of my mouth and turn into pedals. Then the guitar neck starts drooping and flopping over and it's really hard to finger a chord. My amp is this giant alarm clock and when I finally manage to hit a chord, it wakes me up! But then I realize that I still have to go to school and give the presentation. I had only woken up in the dream and I STILL don't have any pants on.

[Tristan]

Had a similar thought sometimes, what to do if my pants fail while I'm on stage.
I think I'd just play on.
