777.0. "BASS SIGNAL PROCESSOR" by GVA05A::BERGMANS () Mon Aug 15 1988 13:21

    
    I have seen in a magazine a picture of a "BASS SIGNAL PROCESSOR".
    
    I believe that the brand was "System 360".
    
    Has anyone seen such a device (or a similar one from another brand),
    What are the special bass effects anyway ???

777.1	Sneaky feelin's	WARMTH::KAYD	If music be the love of food...	`Tue Aug 16 1988 04:23`	15
	I have a sneaking suspicion that what you have seen is the 360 systems MIDIbass unit (not sure if that's the correct name, but it's close). This is a sound generating unit which contains real bass sounds and is played from a keyboard or other MIDI controller (e.g. a MIDI guitar). If I'm right (which has been known to happen every now and then :-) ), then this is not an effects unit at all. By the way, I know that Boss do/did some bass-specific stomp boxes, and here in the U.K. a company called Nomad does a rackmount bass multi-effects box called the Bassman. I don't have details to hand, but I can get them if you're interested. Derek.
777.2	You are right	GVA05A::BERGMANS		`Tue Aug 16 1988 07:07`	10
	You are right on. I just saw a picture with no explanation and draw the wrong conclusion. I am very intersted by the other devices that you mentionned and would appreciate any inputs you could collect. Thanks in advance. Regards
777.3	The Bassman cometh !	WARMTH::KAYD	If music be the love of food...	`Fri Aug 19 1988 04:36`	41
	Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been working out of the office - does this make it a Digital delay ? :-) :-) Anyway, the Boss stomp boxes I mentioned are: GE7-B Bass equaliser - 7 band eq (62Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2 KHz, 4KHz), -15 Db/+15Db cut/boost CE2-B Bass chorus - 'A chorus unit designed exclusively for use with a bass guitar' - I don't know what the difference is between this and an ordinary chorus ! BF2-B Bass flanger - Same concept as the chorus ! The Nomad Bassman is a rack-mount multi-effects box containing a compressor, variable gate, chorus, flanger, phaser and active cross-over. I'm afraid that's all I have on it (I haven't read any reviews), but you can find out more from: Nomad Ltd, North Road Farm, [Do they breed these things ? :-)] North Road, Wendy, Near Royston, Herts, England.

777.4	...and he's brought his price list	WARMTH::KAYD	If music be the love of food...	`Fri Aug 19 1988 04:39`	13
	Oh by the way, the prices (full list) are as follows: Bass eq - 87 pounds Bass chorus - 69 pounds Bass flanger - 74 pounds I don't have a price for the Bassman, but I believe that it is in the 300 - 350 pounds range. Cheers, Derek.
