I was also testing the "tracking" (I think it is the term they use to define how low can you go without distortion or ugly effects). As the Pandora as the amp I can go until F sharp. F starts to sound bad, it is not able to go as low.]]> Bass Players Discussion Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353799 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353765 Mon, 31 May 2010 02:56:28 +0000 Bass Players Discussion jwmartin https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353765 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353756 Sun, 30 May 2010 23:23:27 +0000
1 - OctaBass off
2 - OctaBass on - Range high
3 - OctaBass on - Range mid
4 - OctaBass on - Range low

The other settings: OctaBass Normal 3 o'clock (original signal), OctaBass Octave 1 o'clock (processed signal). I used my J-bass, both pick-ups "almost" open, tone around 60%. I used the Pandora with my usual patch with a little bit of compression. The path was J-bass -> OctaBass -> Pandora -> Mac input.

Here it is the file:

Perhaps I will buy the MXR Carbon Copy when they bring the pedals. I want an analog delay and it could be a good alternative to the Ibanez Delay that I was checking out some days ago (although I am not sure now because they have a Carbon Copy broken and I did read some complaints about the MXR reliability).

(I am recharging the batteries. Tomorrow I will upload the samples.)]]> Bass Players Discussion Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353708 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353680 Sat, 29 May 2010 19:01:12 +0000 Bass Players Discussion jwmartin https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-353680 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-39251 Sat, 29 May 2010 14:57:52 +0000
Yesterday I bought an EBS OctaBass. I was playing a little bit through the amp and also through the Pandora and headphones. I want to test it deeply this weekend but it sounds really good, much better than Pandora or Zoom equivalent effects that I already have. It is very easy to get cool sounds.

Mainly I wanted an effect for modifying my sound when I play some solos. I was testing my Fulltone Choralflange as well but I searched a different approach (and I also buy anything, you know!). I didn't consider the auto-wahs (or bass Q), I though on delays or reverbs. The octavers are cool effects, I always liked them. (Other advices and recommendations on other effects are always welcomed!)

I'll try to do some recordings this weekend. Meanwhile, here is the EBS link: http://www.bass.se/2009/octabass.htm]]> Bass Players Discussion Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-toy-ebs-octabass/#post-39251
