My job has put me into deep-lurk mode on this list lately, but I loop 6-string bass and 5-string piccolo bass, my live pedal-board has a Line-6 DL4 and a boomerang, plus I also have a JamMan, a Vortex and a number of cheap analog and digital delays I've acquired over the years. I also loop keyboards, modular synth, tapes, and just about anything else that makes a noise. One recent strategy has been to fill a boss SP202 with sounds from the gig, ambient noise, opening bands, etc, and through that into the mix. In a few weeks, we'll be debuting minus+, which is us plus monster bassist Fred Chalenor, we'll be playing and recording in Seattle soon. >>I play 6-string fretless,6 string EUB,(Day Job and looping)acoustic bass >>guitar and upright bass(very occasional day job,never looped yet) >>Even as I write this,a 12 string fretless is coming into being that I >>anticipate will be my main looping bass. >>What's up Stig?
