jimb213 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Originally posted by Bass_god_offspring: ... whole buncha stuff about muse... okay, i really like the bassplayer from muse. anyone have any idea how he gets the rad synth bass sound with portamento (it slides between the notes you play, regardless of if you slide to 'em) and really good tracking? Does he use a roland pickup, or just some cool pedal, or a midi output... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnb Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Isn't there a point of diminishing returns? Some of this stuff must take hours to set up. And exactly where did you plan on playing all of this stuff? What's the learning curve like for this gear? I LOVE good gear as much as the next GAS junky, but does my Woods, Acme, Sadowsky set up sound lame enought to warrant my LUST for a TD-1, Stewart 2.1, 2 Tri-210 system to go along with my 2 brand spankin' new Nordstrand Deluxe 5s??? Not that I've given this any thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnb Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 No way, Maury. Once you leave the NY/NJ area you would be shocked at what passes for the house rig. Or what's been done to it. Or what's living inside of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred TBP Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Originally posted by C.

Oh yeah, I forgot, you'll need lights and mudflaps with that. It does 12 Hz? Won't that cause involuntary bowel movements? Then again, some might enjoy that...

Danzilla Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I miss BGO and Clark W. That Phil Jones tube amp is pretty nifty looking. Add that to the 24 speaker pirranha cabinets and have fun. Well, not as much fun as the totally excessive rig posted earlier...

b5pilot Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think those Warwick Helborg rigs are outrageous. Real big and real expensive. Now if you want REALLY outrageous, I recall Entwistle's bass rigs in the past to be pretty wild especially the old Sunn rigs. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemtone Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I guess you can't edit a post from three years ago and my pic has disappeared... so, just to keep it in the family: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g63/flemtone/grateful.jpg From BP's interview with Phil Lesh: "I wanted more tone out of the bass; I wanted to be able to boost any area of the frequency spectrum. But most of all, I wanted the tone to be consistent across the instruments whole range. We talked about having tracking filters, where the frets were wiredso every time you fretted a note it would close a circuit, the instrument would know what note it was, and it would send a signal to an outboard filter, which would then shift so the filters center point was the root. The tracking-filter idea never caught on, though. Neither did the quad bass we developed, where I had one amp system for each stringalthough that was amazing the few times I tried it with the Wall of Sound. I had two bass speaker columns, each 30 feet high. I think there were 16 speakers in each column. So I had eight speakers for the E string, eight for the A, and so on. But it never went far enough; I should have had footpedals to change the configurations. It was also impractical: In order for it to work, the speaker sets needed to be separatedbut in that case the pattern wouldnt make sense to any one musician onstage. It would make sense only to someone standing 50 feet in front of the stage." http://www.bassplayer.com/article/anthem-tone-phil/mar-08/34335 Play. Just play.

SteveC Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I don't even know where to begin. I haven't really thought about rigs since I got my Shuttle combo. I doubt I could top what has been previously proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnb Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Has Phil Lesh ever had a gig that wasn't with the Dead? Imagine him showing up to gig where he was in one of three bands playing that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemtone Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Promoter: "Yeah, you got 15 minutes between acts to set up your rig" Phil Lesh: "Clunk" (sound of jaw hitting floor) Yeah, Phil has played since the GD - his current gig is with 'Phil and Friends' http://www.phillesh.net Play.
