  1. Thanks for all the detail information everyone. Excellent responses from the Bass Chat community as always. I'll try the 2x12 cab and see how I get on.
  2. These are the settings I ended up with on the night. Gain just a bit back from peaking. I'm running a compressor on my board so there's an even signal going into the amp. I'll try a few different settings at the next gig and see if there's any improvement. I'm wondering if the room had anything to do with the poor sound at the weekend.
  3. I've recently purchased a TC Electronic BH550 and I'm running it through a BC210 cab. I've gigged the set up a few times now and it's lacking bottom end and presence even with the volume up pretty far and the bass turned up. Could I be overloading the cab? The TC website says the max rating of the cab is 250w @ 8ohms. I know the BH550's power rating is a bit of a mystery but maybe it's putting out over 250w @ 8ohms. There's a K212 can available locally so I was thinking that swapping to that would give me more headroom and the 12" speakers would give a bit more bottom end. I'm playing with a rock covers band so there's quite a bit of volume on stage. Has anyone got experience of 2x10 and 2x12s and can advise on the differences?
  4. Set of flatwound chrome long scale medium gauge bass strings. Only played once before deciding I needed a lighter gauge. Gauges are: 50, 70, 85, 105. The strings are cut to fit a Fender Jazz bass so will still be long enough for all types of bass. Normally £42. Will post for a couple of pounds extra.
  5. I'm getting rid of a few bass books. £10 for the lot or prices below: Bass Tab White Pages - £5 101 Bass Tips - £5 You Can Do It... Play Bass Dammit - £5 All in excellent condition. Pick up from South West London or I can post for a few pounds extra.
  6. Hiscox bass guitar hard case for sale. Fits Fender Jazz/Precision and most other common bass shapes. It's in great condition, I'm selling it because I no longer need it for travelling. Pick up from South West London or I can meet in central London.
  7. Boss CEB-3 Chorus pedal for sale. The pedal is in very good condition and comes with the original box. I live in South London so can arrange pick up or I can meet you in Central London. Or I can post it! [attachment=209585:$_86e.JPG] [attachment=209584:$_86.JPG]
  8. I used to work for a research company who collected the data for PRS. I was paid to go to pubs and clubs and write down every song that was played in a set period of time, PRS would then use that data to estimate how frequently songs were played and how much to pay out in royalties. It was a mind numbing job made worse by drunk people coming up to me every five minutes asking what I was doing. I now know the names of a LOT of terrible dance songs though. Swings and roundabouts! I only did one pub where they had a live band playing, I just asked to have a look at their set list and left early! It's not the responsibility of the performers, the venues need the licence.
  9. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  10. Electro Harmonix Micro Q Tron Envelope Filter effects pedal for sale. Works great on bass and gives you an awesome funky sound. The pedal is in good condition and comes with velcro on the bottom ready to stick to your pedalboard. Collection from Colchester or i can post it.
  11. I've got two high quality jack to jack speaker cables made by Award Session for sale as my new amp and cab uses speakons. Both cost me about £30 a few months ago. 1m jack to jack with straight connectors - £7 posted 2m jack to jack with one angled connector - £10 posted Or I can do both for £15 posted.

  12. Price dropped to £80 for this. I'm running out of room at home so it needs to go!
  13. The Aux only coming out of the Phones out is a bit annoying really but i have another amp that does this so it's not too much of a problem. Yes i covered the tweeter and there was no difference. I also put my ear right up against the grille in front of the tweeter and couldn't hear anything. Must be blown. Any ideas where to get a new one?
  14. The Aux Input only comes out through the Phones out but i ran my ipod through the main input with the EQ flat and it seems that the tweeter is dead. When I adjust the treble and tweeter controls while playing my ipod you can really hear the difference through the main speakers, much more than when playing bass through it. I guess this is because the bass isn't making as much noise at the higher frequencies. New tweeter it is then!
