New guy saying hello!

[bassplayer22]

Hey guys, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have been playing for about 12 years and picked up a MM about 3 weeks ago. It's a very, very nice addition to my collection. Am I complete now?

Yep, I play lefty, but am right handed. Strange, I know.

Believe me, there are a few more that I want to add to the collection, but I am pretty happy at the moment.

LOL... The pickup would have covered anything, but that's funny.

On another funny note. I bought the Warwick and the MM around the same time and I was joking with people telling them that my wife kept waking up with bruises on her head and a bad mood for the first week that I had them. So, they would look at me for a minute and wonder what the heck I was talking about, and I just said she was sleeping too close to them and the bed was big enough for the 4 of us... and all she had to do was scoot over!

And the rest of it...

 

[carpedebass]

Nice rig, too!

SVT + BassPOD Pro + SansAmp BDI

That's a hell of a lot of tone shaping machinery you got there!

Welcome !!

 

[bassplayer22]

SVT + BassPOD Pro + SansAmp BDI

That's a hell of a lot of tone shaping machinery you got there!

I was waiting for someone to ask about that, so let me explain...

I ussually just plug directly into the SVT, or the loop with my effects without any of the tone shaping devices when playing live. The SansAmp was a gift and I ussually use that in conjunction with the pedal board for traveling around or plugging directly into the board. I play in a few churches that are scattered around and most of them use in-ears with a butt-kicker. The POD is almost used exclusively in the studio or at the house plugged into the computer via usb. There is no way in the world I would ever attempt to use all those devices inline. Its overkill, but they each serve a purpose in a few different settings.

I haven't had the POD very long and I am still learning the ins and outs of it when doing stuff at home or the studio. It's a pretty neat little unit, but I have never ran it through my SVT and cab... not really needed.

Ah, I see. That makes more sense!

Welcome aboard Tim. Good to have you along. Good to see that someone other than me has the Zoom BFX708. I thought I may have been their only customer. I am interested in your thoughts on it.

I have had the 708 since it first came out. I needed a tuner and wanted to mess around with some effects, so that was a perfect fit at the time. I don't really use the effects on it, but the tuner always comes in handy when I don't have my big rig. There are a few affects on it that I use, like the JacoP effect when I play fretless. I'm not a big effects guy though, I just like the straight up tone on my basses. The amp/eq on my Ampeg does the rest.
