Having come from Trombone into Function bands prior to playing Bass I was fortunate to play in the county Orchestra, and have to say you sit there after the final note and think did we make that sound. It is addictive even if you have to count more bars rest than you actually play. I should mention that half the Orchestra was made up from the local Girls grammar school. Music's been good to me

[attachment=159246:At Last Bass (2).jpg] just seeing if this works wow it did, we do this as 4 piece female vocal, bass and guitar intro, we repeat D back to A as guitar solo and finish with the scribled two bars below the line instead of the last two bars writen before D last time. watch the bar before D on the repeat use your ears.

Looks right to my dots will PM

I bought one direct from the states it cost a lot with import duties, and carriage. I'm Glad to hear you can now buy them here. I installed it in a passive Schack bass, now sold (my big regret). I would buy another in fact if I ever have a passive bass again it would have one, probably do away with the volume knob and just have this. I would disagree with Happy jack, for me I found this very useful in a live band situation there is a real difference in each capacitor per notch. You may have to move 4 clicks to notice a change playing live but the 16 positions do give you a different sweet spot to balance against your amp or cab sound so not suggesting 4 notches would do. you may find position 2, 4, 6, 10 and 16 work one night but the next gig its 1, 3, 7,8 and 11 are the dogs In my opinion worth the money a great product.

It was very good, best compliment would be to acknowledge his timing, No click track there. But cant help thinking he would be best off spending the time painting the bathroom or digging the garden. Is he being held against his will in a music shop ?

you crept in there while i was on the tube +1

That reminds me -must dig out my ole Stranglers stuff I'm with Muzz on that suggestion http://youtu.be/OYqllpnyWrY

Oh and this one, I have the dots to this if anyone is interested This is so very much a pick number I have real difficulty as a finger player doing it justice, as the track relies on the pick up and pick down motion attacking the next string above and below in the fraises. Hats off to you pick guys. http://youtu.be/HxEhMoKohzQ

check this from 1:35 min You say Pick and i think of this instrumental section. http://youtu.be/llFJ-MwwMck

obbm - can i come at listen I was thinking this would be nice on a double Berg

There was one at the bass show last week, looked very nice, but cant understand how a £2000 amp has an optional £100 footswitch. If I had a spare £2k kicking arround i would get one.

Had my picture taken with Lee Sklar and realised i am getting more like him not shaving for the rest of my life is the easy part but i must practice more if i am really going to carry it off.

I'm with ezbass on the show summary. I was hoping to get some strings and new guitar lead, but no real choice on offer. Noise was down but still exhausting. I also noticed that Bernie Goodfellow looked somewhat pissed with noise from his neighbours, trying a bass is one thing but organised bass duet sessions on a stand ?? he should have a refund.

Great to see Bluejay, yesterday. saw Lee Sklar and TM. most impressed with Rikkers bass guitars very nice. also liked the small Boogie valve amp.

I'll be there Saturday, with my son in tow, to make sure I get home safe and gas free. try and catch some of you guys at the BC stand. Lee Sklar and TM are my main aims.

I've just checked who it was, and he's a very nice guy, not silly at all. He was just caught in between some Amp GAS and I helped him out

I am MB conFusion Well i am glad someone was silly enough to sell me theirs

Yep sorry you said it powered up smoothing Capacitor on the power supply board is a favourite. Most electronics are amazingly robust but if they use cheap capacitors a low voltage or spike the power supply usually will get it first. If you can get it in front of an electrician he could put a meter across the power supply to eleminate that. RCF may be able to tell you what the operating voltage is after the transformer and smoothing capacitors. the rectified DC voltage. At least you will know you do not have to delve into the amplifier cicuit board. I do have two ART 312-A here but they are fine after 6 years now. But worried that you think this is common.

I think it was Lozz I bought my MB. I got it as a light weight back up amp to my Markbass LMK, I am very impressed it is a keeper, I use it most for home practice, Band practice, Big Band jazz gigs, I also use it as a valve pre Amp into the Markbass channel two with one bass into the GK and my other bass via pedal board into channel 1 Awesome. The 800 has lots of very good improvements over its little brother, lights, push knobs instead of sliders on top etc. Note - It could be too powerful depending on your bass and cabs. mess up ya gain ratio's I did change the valves to Brimar 12 AX7's but thats just me trying to be a smart ass There are 2 x MB 500 for sale on here at the mo, get one and try that first.

There is a fuse in the IEC socket marked 6 in your photo. check this first a 2.5 amp. You may have been operating below the recomended voltage due to volt drop from running heaters on the same circuit also if there is a trip internally it may have operated due to a spike on the mains when it tripped out. Check with RCF but worth a look inside.

Can't imagine not having a back up. so my minimum would be two, a bass that likes Jazz and a bass that likes Pop.

Thanks KK suprised to see this pop up in my content box a year on, But just listened to the Everly's Thank you, I've played a few of these numbers over the years but "Let it be Me" just melts you dont it. Cheers I wasn't aware Mark had done this gig. Albert Lee was a real pro there in the background, wouldn't be suprised if it was him who talked them into getting back together and offering to put a band together.

I have to say having owned one of these when i had a trace 2 x 15" rig. I feel It never made any difference at all and I was kidding myself it did. The fact that my 15's had bullets as well they were brighter than the brite box. In conclusion the 2 x 8" powered Peavey brite box I sold to get it was better. So I would agree with Bill. It was that old green photo advert that apeared on the back of so many bass mags that made us believe we needed one.
