my setup of july, 2009.  here's the chain

  • musicman bongo HS
  • squier classic vibe 60's jazz bass
  • ovation acoustic, from mak wai
  • apple macbook
  • motu 828mkii
  • carl martin compressor/limiter
  • line 6 pod x3 live
  • markbass f1
  • markbass traveller 102p

good thing about this setup is that they can be packed and transported in 1 trip when needed(w/o the acoustic gtr),  2 is alot better tho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this setup relies alot on the pod x3 that takes seperated inputs from the 2 basses, does all the processings, amp simulation.  the only complain is the compressor in there that doesn't really work in the way i prefer.  the carl martin compressor/limiter solves the problem.

 

the macbook / motu 828mkii is being used for triggering loops and sound effects.  a foot switch is hooked up for basic on/off operation.  828mkii also gives headphones outputs for the drummer and/or the band leader, just incase the stage monitor is not setted up properly.

the markbass f1 and traveler 102p is basically there for monitoring only.
